The Void

Chapter 5

I was thirsty, the sun was killing me, I was dying of heat. Could I even die? The car broke down, a few days ago and right in the middle of this desert wasteland. I lied down and groaned. After a few minutes of agony, I saw a face. A face covered with a gas mask but still a face. He or She or It lifted me up and dragged me through the sand until we reached some sort of camp. He slammed my head into the ground and handed me to a man whose face I could barely see.

He took me inside a tent and said, "Jesus Christ, What happened to you?"

I replied, "Do I know you?"

He said, "No but I know you. You're in the assassin's most wanted and there's a huge bounty on your head."

I kicked his feet and he slammed to the ground, I got on top of him and beat the crap out of him until he was knocked out, I got up and looked through his stuff. There was a handgun, grenades and some ammunition and under all that was a map, it looked like a map to the nearest assassin's camp.

I was leaving the tent when I looked back at him and said, "I'm not going to get betrayed again."

I lifted the handgun and shot him.

I went out of the tent, I went into the other tents and got food and water and killed everyone. I walked out of the camp and stole a bike that could barely work, I drove to the assassin's camp. I was not going to be betrayed again, they had faked everything and had sacrificed the lives of unknowing assassins, just to make it seem real or were they bought out in the middle. Why? Why would they do this?. I rode until, I reached the camp. I walked towards it. I have to remember, in this world nobody cares about anyone else so why should I. The camp was filled with black tents and assassin's patrolling. I looked around and walked straight in. I shot the first assassin who noticed me in the chest before he could shout. All the assassins ran towards me and started shooting. The bullets did nothing so I just shot the nearest assassins. I was about to shoot another when the gun ran out of ammo. Okay I can do this. I lifted my hand and called my sword towards me, it flew into my hand. I ran towards the nearest assassin and thrust my sword in his chest. The others were shooting but I had gotten used to the pain. I got up to take out the rest of them. I got pulled back and slammed into the ground by an assassin who looked like he could break a boulder. The assassin took out a green knife and charged at me. I thrust towards him, I struck my sword inside him but he stabbed me in the stomach. The pain was overwhelming, I pulled my sword out and the assassin crumpled to the ground. I took out the rest of them and went to the medical tent. I rushed in and grabbed as many bandages I could and started patching myself up. I stopped the bleeding but it still hurt like hell, I walked to what looked like the main camp and found a computer. I rushed towards it and tried different passwords. They of course, did not work. I started looking around for something to help me and found a slip of paper in one of the drawers, a bunch of numbers were written on it. I entered te numbers into the computer and it let me in. I went through all the files and there was a short paragraph about something called the Void.

let's talk about the Void shall we, sse the Void is a place w hich can only be accessed through a R ift, the first R ift opened up a few years ago and horrible hor hori horiblr humanity just could not keep away, they explored the Void , at least they tried, the Void was better than them but finall y they got to the H e a r t of it. Whe re th y fo un d,

Then something caught my eye a poem. The poem was probably written by an 8-year-old but it said "to my amazing mom" and there were no women outside or in any of the te....., a shot from a pistol went straight into the wall, the bullet inches from my head. I slowly turned around and saw a dark-haired middle-aged woman, holding a pistol. There was something weird about the bullet inside the barrel of the gun.

She shouted, " What the hell are you doing!"

I said, " Look, that bullet isn't going to harm m...", she shot me in the leg, I looked down and there was real blood, actual blood, "Shit, What the hell. "

She said, " You're coming with me."

She grabbed my hair and slammed my head on the table, no blood but it still hurt. She dragged me to the jeep and put me in the back seat and shot my other leg. Just to even things out, I guess. She got in the jeep and started driving while I cried like a baby in the backseat.

"What.. the hell woman?", I said with all my remaining strentgh.

She replied, " I'm taking you to main camp and you say anything else and the arms will go too."

I fainted in the backseat of her car.

Daniel and me were playing a poker game, sitting around a broken table. Seven-year-olds playing poker.

I came to my senses and said to the middle aged women, "Do you know Daniel?"

"Yeah, I know Daniel", she replied, " I'm taking you to him."

I fainted, again. This time out of shock and of course blood loss.

I was hugging my mom and Daniel rang the doorbell, came inside, and hugged her too.

When I came to my senses the woman said," We're here."

"What?", I replied.

She dragged me out of the jeep and towards what looked like a huge building surrounded by small white tents, it was raining at least I think it was therefore I was having a bad time being dragged through the mud. There were two guards near the tents, she took me to them and then shot me in the stomach. She then said something to them but I had no idea what that was because I fainted, one last time.

This time I saw the one picture my mother kept of my father, him standing next to a bike wearing a helmet.

When I came to my senses (for the final time, trust me) I was with the two guards in a white elevator, when they saw my eyes open, both of them took out green knives and stabbed them into the sides of my stomach, just cause. After I vomited out two bottles of blood, the elevator doors opened and they dragged me to the center of the room where I saw Daniel. I'm sure he was going to say something but at that moment, my body was filled with rage and I grew wings. I lunged at him with all my power, all my wounds healed and my body filled with rage. Mark flew through one of the huge windows and got behind me, he grabbed my neck, and cracked it. I saw the future of the world at that moment and I saw me killing my father, killing everyone, me becoming a god, a god of war. That was the moment I died.
