All night we stayed up, to scared to sleep of the monsters outside and the monsters inside. Each one of us holding a knife or a rifle. Everyone had their reason on why we hated each other, I couldn't believe me and my own brother hated each other, I hoped things would work out, but I couldn't see it happening fast.

Not one word was spoken for hours, Kyle was trying to fix a radio they found weeks ago, Bug and Jock sat next to a window checking the creatures outside, Jock studied them, their movements, behaviour, how they react with everything around them, I walked over to Jock to give him some information about the creatures.

"Did you know that they are scared of flares?".

"They are?".

"Yes, indeed" I said nodding my head.

"Interesting, thanks for the information".

There was nothing else to say so I then walked away while Jock wrote down the information I gave him, I decided to check on Kyle, hopefully he had fixed the radio, I walked past Flow and Charlie, they both gave me a bad look as I walk by, I just pulled my middle finger up at them and continued to walk past them.

"How's the radio coming along Kyle?" I said as I leaned up against the wall.

"Almost finished".

 I looked around the room, seeing that everyone had cooled off.

"Looks like everyone has chilled out now".

"Indeed, soon we will need to work together".

"What you mean?" I said with a cautious look.

"Well we are here for a mission".

"Don't start that shit again!" Charlie yelled out.

I did the sign of lip zipping with my middle finger towards Charlie. Everyone soon got up and walked towards us, they all wanted to know what we were talking about.

"What do you mean Kyle?" Jacob asked.

"We can't leave this shit hole unless we finish this mission".

"We are not supposed to survive this mission, we are fucking lab rats!" Flow yelled out.

"She's right, we are not meant to go back" Said Jock, Bug and Charlie agreed with Flow by nodding their heads, until I came up with a idea. "What if we show them that we are more then we are capable of" Everyone just looked at each other, not knowing what to think about.

"Come on guys, they are using us for testing".

"Yes, and if we do succeed how will we find a way off this place?" Said Charlie.

"I remember seeing a chopper a few weeks back in a town just down the road" Said Jock.

'Well we found a ride out of here, lets go and get it' said Jacob.

"But the entire town in filled with those aliens!" Kyle added in.

"Keep your voices...." I was about to yell to them to be quiet until we all heard scratching on the door, fear appeared on everyone's faces, Charlie picked up his rifle and pointed it at the door. We all kept our distance, arming ourselves, me and Jacob got into a corner and Charlie and Flow got into another corner, we were all prepared to fight.

They burst through the door and windows, our guns shot at anything that moved, soon a scorpion crawled into the room and spat acid right at us, we all ducked just before it could hit us, the wall soon evaporated and we all quickly made a quick escape, keeping the creatures back. Jock then threw down a flare so we could get away in time, we all headed towards the town down the road as fast as we could move.

Kyle ran on ahead towards a secure building, Bug was attacked from behind by an creature 'Get the scout of Bug' Charlie yelled out to everyone, we tried our best to save Bug but we were outnumbered, so we had to leave him behind, I took a quick shot at Bug, to end his misery, just before I entered the building I fired my gun, a clean shot to Bug's head, then I was pulled inside by Jacob.

Charlie and Jacob and and me blocked the door with chairs, desks and anything else we could find. I found a file cabinet, Flow helped me move it towards the door 'We can't leave him out there!' Jock cried out, 'If you are willing to go back out there for a dead man, we won't stop you' said Charlie.

"Shut the fuck up! All of you!" Jacob yelled out, 'We lost a man too, so we know how you feel!' everyone went silent, the only noise was the creatures scratched at the door, "There is nothing we can do to help him now" Jacob yelled, we all knew that Bug was gone and there was nothing we could do about it, we all calmed down and kept quiet. "Well what now? Were trapped' Charlie moaned, but he had a point, none of us had a clue what to do next.

An hour slowly went by, everyone was starving, we haven't eaten in hours but it felt like days. even Kyle and his group can't remember the last time they had food, we searched the whole bottom floor and couldn't find a scrap of food, 'We could try upstairs' I said, Charlie agreed with me and headed upstairs, Jacob then followed us, as we headed upstairs Charlie question about the suicide mission.

'Why are we doing this mission again?'.

'Christ, your going to bring that up again?'.

'Well we all know we won't survive it so why do it?'.

'We won't survive anyway so we might as well make the best of it' Jacob added in.

'Anyway, they don't know we will fight back, I mean look at the guys downstairs' I added in.

'What about us from down stairs?' Kyle asked, leaning on the stairs.

'Your mission was the same as ours, destroy the hives, plant the nuke and go home and...'

'Guys, I found something' I said.

They all stopped and turned to face me, 'Your found food?' asked Kyle, to his disappointment it wasn't food, 'it seems like someone had a fire here' I pointed to a small burnt pile of wood, I picked up a piece of wood making my fingers turns slightly black. 'This was put out a few hours ago I would say'.

'How long ago do you think?' Jacob asked.

'I would say about two maybe three hours ago'.

'I don't fucking care about how long ago that was put out, we are looking for food!' Charlie yelled.

'Don't you see? There are other survivors out there somewhere' said Kyle in a huff.

'So this wasn't left behind by you then?' I asked, even though the answer was very clear.

'It could be David' said Jacob .

'Well unless he put himself back together and wondered around back from the dead, then yeah it could be' I said sarcastically.

'Well this made our job a lot harder' said Charlie.

'What do you mean?' asked Jacob

'Well now we have to find this or those survivors and to get the mission done' said Charlie in a moaning voice.

'So you changed your mind then?' Klye asked.

'Well, we might as well, we are soldiers and it's our job' Charlie moaned.

'It's a job worth dying for mate' I said.
