(Raider POV)

that was close. too close. I never knew there was anyone in Wakefield anymore. why would anyone want to stick around? not much here.

I've been hunting that big "Blarg" monster for weeks. It nearly killed my parents in that bus. at least half a dozen soldiers. It was right there. I nearly had it. If that big guy and scrawny guy I saw before, hadn't been there I would've died happy.

I took of my football helmet mask and looked at it. the horns, the taped-on hockey mask. all of these things are supposed protect me. not supposed to make me look scary. cool yes. but not scary. hockey mask might've been a bit much.

I look at the mirror. I see a person I haven't seen in a while. a young hispanic girl, with fading blonde highlights. didn't like them anyway. my blue hoodie was a little scuffed, but hey it was the last thing my parents gave me.

sprtz! I whip around gripping my sniper. bang bang! I look at the ground to see a puddle of brown fizzy liquid. I bend down and taste a little.

"ew" I look up to see that cute scrawny guy looking down at me holding a punctured can of Coca-Cola "I think you've been alone a little too long."
