Dying Breath: It All Starts Here

Intruders

Michaela, Destiny, and Willow were still bringing out weapons. Derek was looking at the M16A1, when all of a sudden, he notices a small light. It was red.

" Hey guys, look," said Derek, pointing at the light. Michaela notices, looking confused. Willow looked at it, then looked like she was trying to think really hard. Lindsay noticed where the light was coming from. She walked towards there. She also noticed the truck. Suddenly, she was pushed down. More like, pulled down. Lindsay opened her mouth to talk, but Askova put her hands around her mouth. The truck stopped at the nearest house, about a block away from them.

" What does red mean again?" asked Michaela, looking at Willow. Willow shook her head, still trying to think.

" Intruders!" gasped Destiny loudly. Everyone turned their heads to her, as soon as she said that. Both Michaela and Willows eyes widened. They put all the guns back in the box, apart from her bazooka and the M16A1. Her M9 was still holstered. Derek helped, putting the box back to where it came from. Willow closed the latch, locked it, and moved the cross back a few inches to hold it over the secure guns. They hid. Derek hid under one of the church benches, bringing the M16A1 with him. Destiny and Michaela hid in a closet, but locked it from the outside first, then entered with just enough light and room to breathe. Willow hid behind the minister's podium.

Ray, Lindsay, and Askova were still ducked behind a bush, tracking the truck. They were covered in snow, standing in the same place. Ray turned off her flashlight when the truck appeared at the church, hoping that the others saw the signal. Two men and one girl got out of the truck. One man was dark skinned, had shaved black hair and shaved beard, and wearing a dark green puff sleeve coat with grey snow boots. The other man had long brown hair, up to his shoulders. His hair was a bit shaggy. He was wearing a navy blue coat and brown boots. The girl had blonde hair, up in a ponytail, wearing a light blue jacket and blue combat boots. She looked to be about 15-18 years old. The guys looked like they were in their 20s.

" Another church. All the churches have dead people. The holy ones don't know how to fight," commented the man with the shaggy brown hair. He was staring at the cross on the top of the church. The man with black hair started to kill nearby cannibals, using a metal pipe.

" Dave, can we get out of here?" asked the girl with blonde hair, shivering. The guy with the black hair claimed to be Dave, walked over to them, walking so close to the bush. Askova quietly and slowly pushed Lindsay back. Ray held her flashlight, ready to hit one of them in the head. The one with the shaggy hair started to walk inside the church. Lindsay gasped.

" We can't. We're here to help people, remember? We're bringing back as many people as we can," explained Dave, the guy with black hair. The girl rolled her eyes at him, and sat down to the nearest place she can sit,

" Besides, we need to go somewhere warm, it's freezing out here." He walked towards the church, walking inside.

" Ivy, just come inside, you'll freeze to death out here," said the dude with shaggy hair, grabbing the blonde girls hand and bringing her inside. Ray watched them walk in the church, then she jumps out the bush. Askova stands up and watches Ray run in the church quietly. Lindsay stood up.

" Ray, don't go in there!" said Lindsay quietly. She looks at Askova. Askova looked back at her.

Willow stays hidden under the minister podium, hearing footsteps enter. She hears unfamiliar voices. Derek stays hidden under the benches, staying still as a stick. Michaela and Destiny stay hidden in the closet, holding the bazooka, making sure that it doesn't fire.

" This place looks pretty clean, especially if there are dead bodies everywhere," commented the shaggy hair guy, " the graves really got these people." Ivy walked to the other side of the church. Dave walked towards the cross. Willows breath stiffed. He walked to the nearest bench and sat down. He sat on the bench, in front of the one Derek was hiding under. He stared at the cross and started to mumble some sort of words. Ivy and the shaggy hair dude walked towards the kitchen.

" Sam, what are we doing here?" started Ivy, " We're never going to find people. Not in this state," she finished, throwing her hands up in the air. Sam, the shaggy hair dude, picked up a bag full of food.

" This food must have been packed not so long ago," whispered Sam, to himself. He dropped it, letting the food drop on the floor. Ivy walked into the bathroom. She saw the open medicine cabinet, picking up a bottle of ibuprofen. She put it back, neatly. She walked to the chapel. She notices a bag on the bench right next to her.

" Hey Dave, did you notice this here?" she brought the bag to Dave.

" All I did was walk in here. You think the people here started packing to leave?" asked Dave. He rummaged through the bag, " Are there people here?" he asked. Ivy shrugged.

" I didn't see any sign of people here, except this," she pointed at the bag.
