- Cassius Buvelle's Perspective-

My eyes daze open again, and this time the room is dark. The last bit of sunlight must be sinking below the trees. I slowly lean upwards, holding back vomit.

My hand feels something crunchy. It must have been placed there while I was asleep. I realize I'm feeling much better, and that I have some sore of sheet wrapped around the back of my head.

My fingers slowly unravel the note, letting the sound of crunched paper echo in the room. I notice it's the same room I fought in. Pierto's body is gone.

"This is Kable. You have your weapon near you and some water I managed to grab. I've decided not to stick around with you, but I've also decided to let you live. You have a wish now, I know it. I couldn't kill someone with identical goals."

I look away in disbelief. I thought this dude was a killer? Someone that didn't care who you are, someone that would slit throats on first sight.

Maybe there's more to him than I thought.

sigridraabe Cassius is alone in the airport hangar. What do you do from here?

- Dawn Gettysburg's Perspective-

"We gotta go kill someone!" I say. We've been sitting at this course, raiding the north side for the entire day. We hadn't seen anyone, except for something in the horizon that I couldn't determine. It looked like a huge black cloud in the far distance.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Samira questions, holding her new found weapon. It was a dual-bladed Sword, perfect for her combat style. I don't know whether to like that-or disdain it.

"I think I've found what to do." Mariel says. "Come here."

We run to the window silently, where a group of four shadows was making their way towards one of the buildings we had raided. It had a generator in it.

"This could work." I hear. I recognize that putrid, filthy voice. Lennox. That little shit. "So what, power?"

"Let's go." I say, and I slowly walk out of the door, with Mariel following. Samira was hesitating, but eventually she followed.

"A computer nerd would be so good right now." Maddox says, trying to plug the computer into the generator.

"I've been wished for." I say quietly, looking as innocent as possible. Mariel and Samira weren't visible, so it was just be, Lennox, and Maddox.

"G-get away!" Maddox stutters, and Lennox calls for Sarah. Only those two won't be able to help right now. Samira and Mariel were.. taking their attention.

"I don't want to hurt anyone!" I say, a fake offended look on my face.

"Hansen! Sarah!" Lennox yells a second time. When there's no response, his face turns pale. "Guys!"

"What the.. heck!" Maddox says, obviously so confused. Not many can think straight at 12 years of age.

"Get the hell away!" Lennox screams, clearly scared. Oh if only you knew how scared you'd be soon, brat.
