Chapter #18 Renegade bastards! Wait..I'm a Renegade!!

Natalia was super excited by the story infact she was paying super close attention from start to finish.

"Ooohhh That's so cute!" She exclaimed when my mother stopped.My mom blushed and scratched her head "At least you took the time to listen."

I heard the story hundreds of times when i was a kid. So i was not really suprised or inticed And my mom then said to Natalia "Well..I guess that's about it. Mind staying here for the night?" Natalia was happy to stay in my moms shack for awhile.

The place was really small i swear i miss my old house i was many of the displaced people.We stayed in my moms house i was inside the room i was sitting in the bed cleaning my RPK just like renegade training you press the button in the receiver
and the guts of the gun is exposed and you start cleaning the gun. But then i noticed that the room was too small in fact my mom wont fit my mom passed by i then said "Mom!"

"What is it Danielle?" She asked i replied "Mom where are you going to sleep i mean.." Before my mom was finished she said "That's for you and Natalia." My jaw dropped she then smiled and said its rare to have and said "Its hard to have a caring mom ya'know?"

My mom then closed the door.I blushed and shout "Come on mom this isnt funny." Then she closed the door on me.I then lay down on the bed. Natalia has a sleeping mat below me. I faced the left side of my room or the wall. I need the sleep i mean the fight is not over.

Natalia then walked in the room and said "Excuse me." And closed the door she then sat at her mat and started to write something in her notebook. I cant care less slowly the darkness consumed me i always keep dreaming about the junk yard battle. I find it hard to breathe and move i always feel jumpy i always get stuck in that dream. Harakov getting killed over and over again i cant bear it. I feel my heart beat fast did i cause his death? Fuck..Also i keep remembering the time i was taken prisoner by the unity. Pain i keep feeling the pain of that day. I suddenly wake up i was resting with a straight body. I was sweating hard its so hard to focus and see things. I cant move in my bed, Then the door of my room opens..It was dark it became clear i see a burnt and bloody hand!

I started to panic i swear i try to move.. I then close my eyes Danielle.Sleep sleep sleep you crazy fucker! Sleep dammit! I open my left eye only i see a man with a burnt uniform and charred skin his face was burned beyond recognition. His face was pure flesh and dirt. I did not believe what i was seeing it was either a dream. I woke up in fear i was still in my bed i touched my chest my heart was beating fast. I checked the clock in the wall its 3:15 Am. I look down and look at the left of my bed i saw Natalia sleeping in the cot. I'm the only one awake i stand up from my bed open the door and see my mom sleeping in the couch her blanket fell off. I came close and cover her with her fallen blanket. I look through the tiny window shadow still consumes the land. I sat down in the dining room. I then prep for the morning, My RPK still works. I then load my 5.45 RPK magazines. I change my pajamas to jeans put on a jacket. I put on my shoes and tie it and got outside the house, I pass by the main markets of Spiker i will admit they open quite early. I then visited the bakery nearby i had money in my pocket so i wanted some hot bread for the morning. I walk up to the counter.

"Madam how much for the loaf bread?" I asked she then replied "That will be 40." I was quite shocked by the price honestly i then asked "How did the price sky rocket?"

She then told me "Well, The battle of the junkyard changed everything. Renegades burning the wheat Fields to halt the USRR. Well not only did they halt the USRR they stopped bread from reaching spiker." She then continue "Also in the following day they raided civilian shipments heading here to Spiker. I have to say it was a massacre." My heart was beating fast i then swallow my salaiva "Sad..I mean..Uhh sure i will take it." We exchanged and then i received the bread i walked home. My eyes wide with disbelief Renegades robbing? I cant believe it. Then out of nowhere i heard shots! The residence in Spiker were awakened! I then threw my bread and ran to cover I was in the open street. I was hiding behind a post of some sort. I was shivering in the fact that i don't have any weapons made me feel naked and defenceless. Then the door behind me opens! I saw a woman she then asked me "Whats hap-" Before she can finish i cover her mouth and told her with a low voice "Quiet. You can get us both killed." She nodded she saw the fear in my eyes i then let go of my hand and i asked her "Do you have a gun?" She then replied "I will get it!" In a few minutes an explosion rocks the other side of the street knocking me on my knees. The fire fight intensifies more shots were being exchanged. The woman came back to me with a Mosin rifle it had no scope just an iron sight. I said "Its good enough." She then asked me "Why is there an explosion nobody attacked spiker for five years since where is the peace agreement !?" I then told her "I guess we are about to find out."

Out of the fog i see a Ural truck accompanied by a Junkie (Cars with Machine guns at the back). We felt terrified my gun has only 5 shots no extra. It then parked at the bakery where i just got in. They opened fire and indiscriminately killed the woman i just ordered from. The guys at the ural then took the stuff on the bakery. When i looked close they were not wearing patches..Who are they? But its a sign that is not the Renegade! I knew it!! But i saw something unusual about them..We are not in a Radiation zone why are they wearing Gas masks!

I then take aim i then look at the woman and told her "Get inside your house. And if i die barricade yourself." She nodded just like the time i was with my old squad with Scar when we were sniping during the storm i empty my breath i pull back the bolt of the mosin i saw one of the bandits one of them had a mix of army and civilian fatigues from the shape of the body i can tell you its a woman she is helping the other men unload the stolen goods. Alright i will tell you something about sniping. The life of that man is in your hands is it the right decision to take his life? I then pull the trigger.

BANG!

The woman got shot in the neck. Pieces of her spine fly off she fell in the floor. In a pool of blood i then pull back the bolt the shell casing of the rifle graze my cheek. I then take aim again.

"CONTACT!!!"

"WE GOT A MAN DOWN!!"

They scream loud but they had no idea where the shots are coming from! Then the guy who shout gets shot! By whom?! When i look behind me i saw Civilians!! They are helping me they got WW2 rifles and rusty Type 56's with them. I then shout "KILL THEM ALL!!"

We open fire at the bandits then one of them mounts on the pick up and started to cut down the guys behind me two of the civvies died they got ripped apart from the Dushka heavy machine gun. I saw the carnage i stood up and fired once more. The iron sight of the Machine gun got hit but the bullet managed to hit him in the chest. Dead center at the chest his ribs were crushed from the impact his cries echo. I smiled I'm..Enjoying this.I pull the bolt back and release another bullet Then this lone jerk charges me. I then saw the dude trying to rush me..No shit its a woman i took aim i fired! It missed!! She is so fast she is running zig zag as her friends keep shooting at the civvies to keep them from supporting me! I was all alone.She was firing at my spot i cant leave the post I'm pinned!! I then shot back. Another miss! I cocked my rifle and fired another miss! I realized this is my last shot. Mother fucker! I wish this gun had more shots. I will only fire when she comes close i then hear her foot steps as she comes near me. I then got out of the post to face her head on! But she had her gun aiming on me already! I then shout "What?!"

She fires five shots in full auto the first pierces my right shoulder the four bullets miss. I fell on the ground face first as my blood spill i scream "AAAGGGGGHHHHHAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!" She then knees my stomach i vomit blood! My vision is not right..Its black and fucking white..I grip my wound tightly this is the first time i got shot my tears cover my eyes. She then uses her feet to turn me over. I was face to face with her. She was breathing in the mask she aims her AK74 at my face i raise my left to beg for mercy...She did not fire. By the looks of her eyes she looks...Shocked?! She was about to do something i think she was about to take me. She gets shot at her left eye! I saw blood and peices of glass fly out of her gas mask. She lay next to me dead.

"Get cover escort that man!" I heard a voice behind me..Its the Stalkers. They open fire on the bandit scum! The bandits then had no time they drove off!! Leaving behind their dead. The Stalker then look at me and shouted "He is alive! We got a live one!" He then puts a bandage at my wound to stop the bleeding. The woman came out of her house to check on me. She gave some medicine

"Alright you took a shot from the poison bullet (5.45x39mm) Lets get you to a triage center." The woman told me the Stalker replied "I agree you need help." I then pointed at the corpse of the dead bandit woman i told the Stalker "Please bring her here." The Stalker felt strange and did not know what i wanted to do but he still did it i told him "Remove her mask." I wanted to know who she is..Why did she spare my life. He then removed the mask....

........

I started to cry all this..It's true..I mean...I bite my lips and then it started to bleed i then moved with my thumb. The woman and Stalker was confused..I kept on crying. My eyes were drenched in tears.. It's...Diana the very preson who trained me and.Thought me.Fucking things.She was a Renegade drill instructor..Its true the Renegades are raiding...I saw her face her eye was missing and glass was entombed in her face full of blood.She must have seen my face.

"Do you know..This person?" The woman asked. I look up in the sky and scream "NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
