Deadland

Chapter 92- Bullethole

(TW!! Mentions of abuse, s/a, and drug usage!!)

We're in the cars again, quickly pulling up on a workshop area of another Savior compound.

Damien's driving ours, I'm shooting out of the small hole in the sheet metal.

"Let's go!" Damien yells, getting out of the car first so I can get out.

I've never been to this compound yet so I'm not too worried about killing anybody, though I'm not aiming to.

I can feel my teeth rattle with every bullet fired from my machine gun. The gunshots from both sides of the fight make my ears ring and I can feel adrenaline sizzling in my heart.

"Adrian!" Damien warns me. I quickly spin to the side and allow Damien to shoot a Savior that was approaching me.

I thank Damien with a nod and continue firing.

"Spread out! Watch for breaches! We keep 'em locked in, they got bigger problems than us!" Francine yells.

Damien nods to me and he and I go to the left, running a few feet before diving behind a turned-over table.

I lean over the table to see if anyone is behind it, shooting two Saviors directly in the head before sitting back down.

"My plan of not killing anyone other than Nick went way south." I pant, firing my gun over the table again.

Damien chuckles breathlessly, "We all knew it would."

I feel hot sweat drip down my forehead, my fingers itch from the vibrations of the machine gun.

A dozen, if not more Savior bodies are lying sprawled out on the ground, blood pooling around them.

The air around us is hot and thick with humidity, making the anticipation heat so much worse.

I make eye contact with Aaron from behind one of the cars and his eyes widen at something behind the table.

Before anything happens, I aim my gun straight up and fire, shooting someone in the chest.

My ears ring loudly and the world seems like it moves in slow motion, I can tell the gunshot did the same thing to Damien because he's using the ground to steady himself as he kneels next to me.

"Damien, breathe, stop focusing on the spinning." I yell over the gunshots, quickly turning and firing over the table.

Damien shakes his head to clear the spinning and nods, getting up and firing again.

"Adrian, they're moving in!" He yells, gunning down a Savior.

"Don't let them near! Stay on 'em!" I yell, killing two Saviors with one bullet.

"Adrian, Damien, move in!" Aaron orders us.

I nod and glance at Damien before rolling out from the table and propping my gun up on my knee, killing a Savior, and then diving behind a dumpster.

Huh, feels like I've used a dumpster for protection before.

I get up and walk closer my face hard and determined while Damien takes my position behind the dumpster.

I move to a piece of metal next to the dumpster Damien is behind.

"God damn it!" I scream, throwing my machine gun as I finish my last bit of ammo and grabbing my pistol.

My whole body is tense, my heart pounds rapidly, and my lips are dry from my quickened breathing.

"Adrian?" I hear a Savior say.
