Well, I got some decent reviews for my prologue and first chapter, so I decided to do some more.
Note's:
I am probably going to change the name to a more fitting title. I have a rough draft for the story, but UI don't know exactly how the stories going to progress, so the name may change.
Chapter 2:
Attack!
Trig sprinted out the library. Most of the colony was heading towards the center building, where women and children were supposed to go during an attack. Trig on the other hand, went towards the guard post. As he got closer towards the outer wall of the colony, guards replaced those going to hide in the center building. They ran around with assault rifles, running errands. Trig ran to the armorer, a short bald man with a really bad temper.
"What are you doing here" he asked, "You're only 15!"
"But I am nearly 16!" Trig said.
"I don't care, it's dangerous, why do you come here every time something happens?"
Trig decided to switch gears.
"What is going on anyway?"
"I don't really know.. but if the attack alarms are going off, then something dangerous is going on."
"Please! I really want to fight!"
"Fine.. If you shut up, I'll give you an old pistol. You'll say you found it if your caught, and I am not going to bail you out".
"Thank you so much!"
The armorer gave him an old Desert Eagle. "Holds 7 bullets, here are 2 mag's. Captain Hensing's over there. Just don't make it obvious you're only a teenager, otherwise they'll check to make sure you're over 16."
That's going to be tough, considering my height he thought
Trig headed over to Hensing, who was briefing guards.
".. and you guys will head over around from behind the main gates, got it?"
"Now, on to what this is all about. A group of zombies have been spotted about 3 miles north. Remember head shot's only. No need to go auto. Also, if you're a first timer, these things are slow, and have no intelligence. They only live to kill and eat humans. If you are bitten you'll will become one of them. Needless to say, it's best to engage at a distance with rifles and precise head shots."
Trig stared at his pistol.
"You're going to leave the colony in 5 minutes and go north to the river."
"Yes sir"
They all turned to leave, when Hensing caught sight off Trig.
"Who are you? I've never seen you in my unit before."
"Umm.. I'm a recruit?"
"Nice try punk, how old are you?"
"... 15. But I'm 16 in a few weeks!"
"How many?..."
"Uh.. about 15 weeks."
"So men, how do you feel about having a teenager among our ranks"
"If he wants to, I say let him come. It's his problem if he dies."
"Ok. Get to the side gate".
Trig and the others marched towards the side entrance. The doors opened.
"Once your over there, you're on your own. The closest team is Delta 2, if you need help, radio them."
The team walked through the doors, and they shut.
Trig suddenly remembered that his mom must be going out of her mind with worry.
He was now finally doing a man's job, but it felt scary already.
End of chapter two!
