A brothers sacrifice
""Its been seven months since the first bombs dropped my mother risked her life to keep me and my little sister safe the only thing that we have of our mother is her picture in a heart shaped plated gold necklace, a little about me and my sister im ex special forces and my sister was fresh out of boot camp to be a sniper but ever since that day we couldn't rely on anyone to help us they only wanted my sisters necklace and it'll be over my rotting body that they get to it or through my sisters scope he chuckles softly no one can get close enough somethings can tho. We've been running into mutants more and more as we travel together, the last encounter ended with my getting some gnarly gashes across my chest"" his hears perked up as he heard his sisters rifle going off he "fucking hell" he quickly drops his pencil and grabs his g36c and runs down the corridor making sure how much ammo he has left and curses under his breath.."only a mag left, gotta make them count" he busts Through the door taking aim scanning the area he hears his sister laughing "took you long enough slowpoke, it was a scouting party" she climbs down from the tower and takes a breath while looking at her brother "hey Chris whats wrong?" She asks calmly gently grabbing his shoulder as the smell of rain filled their lungs chris sighed heavily "no every things fine jes, just they're getting boulder" chris looks over his shoulder as jes leans to the side to see what chris is looking at and spots a new mutant ripping apart the corpses of the scouting party "yea...they are but we don't have the ammo to move anymore" jes said and sighed "i know we dont i only have one mag left" chris stared as the mutant began to walk away and knew he what he had to do Chris looked at jes "how much ammo do you have left" chris stared at jes who looked down at her rifle "i have six bullets left why do you ask bro?" Jes stared at Chris confused "go back into the tower and cover me" before jes could protest to this plan chris masterfully crawled under the barded wire fence remembering his time in basic training keeping his mind blank and listening to his surroundings as thunder shook the ground around him chris flinched but kept moving forward. Jes climbed the tower cursing Chris under her breath "if you make it back in one piece im going to kill you" jes muttered as she reached the top grabbing the heart shaped locket that's hanging around her neck "mom, if you cab hear me please keep my aim steady and precise, so i can kill chris when he gets back" jes set up her hunting rifle zeroing her scope on chris running her hand along the oak finish along the rifle and smiles, chris got closer to the mutilated body's surveying the terrain around him before moving closer to the bodies taking their weapons and ammo spotting a python revolver "definitely taking that" he muttered under his breath reaching for it as the mutant spring forward from the darkness charging chris who fell back from the sight of the mutant "JES!!!" Chris screamed as his g36c got caught in the sling for the weapon when jes's rifle springs to life with a thundering roar hitting the mutant in the side. The mutant stopped and turned to look where shot came from as chris quickly checked the python seeing it fully loaded he thanked god under his breath and got up running to take cover behind a tree as the mutant returns its focus on chris who takes arm and pulls the trigger as his arms absorbed the shock and the python shot up with recoil Chris laughed as the mutant fell to the ground with a hole through its head "this pistol is awesome" Chris laughed as he ran back to the barded wire fence and slid underneath. Jes quickly climbed down and grabbed her brothers shirt pulling him inside as rain began to pour down drenching the ground and washing away the blood from the bodies "are you fucking nuts chris!!" Jes said she slapped chris along his face the pain evident on his face "i did what i had to do" chris dropped his backpack onto the ground "i got you ammo and a new toy" chris said angrily as he pushed past jes walking down the corridor slamming his door, jes looked towards his door sighing heavily "fuck..." Jes walked to her room picking up chris' bag before closing her door walking towards the bed laying on it staring at the ceiling she takes her necklace off staring at it she opens it slowly looking at the picture of her mom smiling "i wish you were here, you'd know what to do"
