The Remaining Few

The Line That Should Be Crossed

The eyes of that monster. The long claws on those stretchy long arms. The pale skin of it. Its crooked teeth and deformed skully face. Walking and running on both feet and both arms. Occasionally, it used its hands for something. Whether consuming or examining. The sight of it, was disturbing as it was fearful.

It came over in Enzo and the others their direction. It ran as fast as the eye could see. Gideon went for his assault rifle and started shooting as accurate as he could.

The bullets caught the skin of the pale monster. It was bleeding the same blood as any human being. But it looked like it didn't feel any pain at all.

It had to stop in its tracks in order to not get constantly shot. It moved zig zag for Gideon not to shoot it. But it soon realized that Gideon was no ordinary shooter.

Every time he kept on pulling the trigger, atleast 3 bullets caught it. And then, it started with the loud and echoey cry. It was like a siren stranded on a cold and sandy beach. But this was no siren. It was a monster unknown to the eyes of Gideon and the others.

Eventually, the monster jumped constantly to change its position. But it felt annoyed and it showed its annoyance too. It cried louder than ever and Gideon and the others had to cover their ears.

It started to attack before being shot from another direction by the Red Raiders. It was then at that moment, the monster knew it had to leave or get smoked by some bullets.

It leaped off just like the other and climbed the building. It kept on crawling on the solid wall of the building till it was nowhere to be seen.

Gideon and the others looked around and saw the Red Raiders. Gideon and Adalia took point with the shooting while Mason and Enzo looked for a way to escape.

The Red Raiders took cover behind some cars as Gideon and Adalia's firing got too much. Enzo saw the distance street filled with cars and thought of it to be the perfect getaway.

He told Gideon and the others and off they went into the direction of Freeman Street. Maddox and his Red Raiders followed but he didn't know who the 2 shooters up front were. He didn't even see Mason or Enzo.

Mason and Enzo kept on running first as Gideon and Adalia shot their way to cover. They had enough rounds to last for a firefight so concerns for ammunition wasn't present.

They slided into cover as they needed to rest. Gideon and Adalia followed after that.

"How many did you get?" Asked Mason out of breath to which Gideon replied with "I thought we were keeping them at bay, not killing them."

Mason Yelled out "What?!?!? How the FUCK is that supposed to help us?!?"

Gideon looked at Adalia and asked if she was ready. She replied with a confident "Whenever you are."

They reloaded their assault rifles and were ready to fire. They got up to aim and their shooting was out of this world. Nearly every shot was accurate. Gideon caught 3 Raiders in the head while Adalia shot down 5.

Mason and Enzo looked at them shooting but didn't realize how good they actually were shooting. They needed a breather for the getaway ahead. Cars and trucks all in the way. Perfect for cover too.
