This is all just stupid. Everything. We were just fine in the vault. Now look I'm not able to sleep without jumping up ready to fight anything that moves.
I was the first to leave, me and my buds headed for a lake and decided to camp there, shitty idea. My friends died that night, attacked by this, Crab. No what is that thing called? Mirlerk? Anyway I guess we journal our life out here, so I'll introduce myself. My name is Jay Harp, I'm 25 and I am, well was apart of the Vaults security system, I don't fuck with the people who come in the vault thinking they can just raid it, I just shoot em' down. Now I never really payed attention in school, learning about these monsters or anything. But I would say my endurance and strength is amazing, but I'm shit when it comes to Charisma and Intelligence. But here I am, friends dead and I got a, a, uh, Pipe pistol. Yes a pipe pistol ready to fight anything. People say my personality is like when a baby is born and he says fight me. I'm not sure it's all just rumors, people compare crazy things together.
I walked along the side on the road whistling to the songs on my pipboy, my gun in holster. I knew what survival meant, it meant killing to get what you need. Not want. But need. So I killed a few monsters,and took my buds armor and gear. Dead people don't need that kind of stuff. "I wonder if anyone is around these parts? Damn stuff looks different in the day time." I was retracing my steps.
I noticed a bright light in the distance hitting me in the eyes, I threw my arm across my face and focused on the light,the more intense I looked the more it became clear. "Another vault dweller." The Vault person was reflecting light in my direction.
I started walking up this hill kicking a rock up and then kicking it to far leaving it behind, when I got up there the Vault person was just a little girl. "M-Mister, Hi, I'm Lucy, from the Vault. Vault 76." She was scared for her life, something happened.
"Did you not travel with anyone? If you didn't then that was a shi- I mean bad decision." Lucy looked nine or ten. Can't cuss in front of the little girl.
"My parents, they did not know what to expect! I warned them about the dangers! The things out there! But, But they wanted to be the "hero's" of the Commonwealth. They, They tried, to protect me. But they couldn't." She was sobbing in her arm, I got on my knees and opened my arms, she looked up face red, eyes red. But her color in her eyes a blue, bursting with color.
I hugged her telling it will be okay, but I'm not sure what the hell is out there or what killed her parents. I want to protect her.
