I woke up in what I could only believe it's a crazy position. I felt sore. Every where. My head throbbed and my bruises pinched me with every muscle movement. My abdomen was torn and battered. My eyes were covered in bandages but felt hot. It stung. It burned.

"Morning."  I turned towards the voice. "It's Marcus."

"Are you in here with me?" I mumbled. I heard a muffled knock.

"Prison?"

"Pretty much" He chuckled

"What happened?" I sighed laying back down. I started pulling off the bandages.

"Riley, stop. Don't."

~~~~~~~~~~(Back a few hours)~~~~~~

I grabbed Millie's hand as we dodged all the gun shots being fired. Yes we infiltrated..... Sadly, Im still recognizable under all this dirt.

I walked into the building and boom. Guns were pointed into my face.

"Riley." Someone taunted. I turned around and widened my eyes. I ran even faster using colorful words along the way.

"Who is that?" Millie turned

"That's Void. She has this undefying love for me. But she can't show it normally, just through violence." I said sarcastically.

"Come back you you pesky brat!" She yelled. I let go of Millie and charged her head on knocking her to the floor.

She sprang up and grabbed me by the neck. "You have been above death since the moment I met you. Tell me why?"

"Because....." I croaked. Why do people like to choke me so much. Am I that 'chokable' ?

"It's because I'm a bad ass." I said lifting my knees so high it hit her nose. She dropped me and stumbled back. "You mother-"

Marcus kicked her away. I couldn't help but smile. I ran up and hugged him. I don't remember the last time I showed him my appreciation.

"You must be Marcus. Didn't we meet?"

"How can you tell?" He smiled patting my head.

"You have that same devil look."

I pulled his face next to mine. "It must run in the family."

She pulled out a cannon from I don't know where. She aimed it at us. "Glenn wants the boy really bad. But Riley..... He just wanted you cause it's convenient. But it's so convenient that you are ALSO my mission."

I walked up to her and put the cannon my chest. "Do it. You won't."

"Riley?! WHAT THE SHIT." Marcus screamed.

Void looked at me shocked. "Do it." I narrowed my eyes.

"What's the catch?" She cocked the gun.

"There is none. Since you are so close minded and stubborn, I'm going to give you what you want. My death. Will you be happy then? Will that satisfy your petty needs?"

Void didn't answer at first. She looked at the gun then into my eyes. "Yes." She pulled the trigger.
