  "This......this is the captain of the 18th platoon unit trying to hold off the horde *distant firing and explosions*, fuck we're done for............, we're almost out of ammo, and so far there's seem to be no end to them, the harder we fight the more they come....damn I'm loosing my composure already" *tiny sobs in background and rumbles*

  "There's not much time left we'll keep fighting for as long as we can so we can evacuate everyone, it was recently found out that the hordes are weak to hot temperatures, not from a bomb but from the sun itself.....I hope this information can help stop them if we don't do so, this is Captain hirugawa James from the eastern platoon signing out"

  TALES OF THE FALL OF THE LAST GREAT COLONY

  "Wait what the hell........., that's your plan". Zack whispered barely able to stop himself from screaming.

  "You sound like you expected something less dangerous, nigga chill, she can do it, she's the best candidate for it after all" smoke Said pointing a finger at chloes left arm, the arm scared by a bite.

  "So you plan to use her as bait, so you can what search for a car to hit the road, from that place?" Zack asked

  "And cuz she got a bite mark, doesn't necessarily mean shes immune from getting infected goddamit" Zack refused. The plan was dangerous, there were too many infected here for comfort and Chloe all by herself would be in danger if she tried baiting them away

  "Actually, I am" Chloe replied getting confusing and surprised looks from Zack and smoke

  "Wait you are?"they both asked sure if they had heard that or imagined it

  "I am actually..........., I regained a memory some nights back, in one of those I.........I........" She paused not able to complete her sentence

  "Nevermind.., I am......, just tell me how long you want them gone" Chloe sighed

  "Chloe are you sure you wanna do this?" Zack asked again his concern for her growing even more

  "Sure Zack, wouldn't be a problem"Chloe replied almost instantly reassuring Zack she was going to be ok but the expression she had betrayed her, Zack knew she was lying but for some reason he still had to agree with her "if you think you can do it then" Zack replied with a smile turning around to stare at smoke

  "We're ready" Zack said

  "Ok then I believe everyone knows what they gotta do, we start in 3" smoke counted, it then hit Zack he had not been given a role on this plan, was he too busy thinking about Chloe's safety that he has completely forgotten that he thought interrupting smokes countdown

  "Wait I wasn't given a role" he reported but he had been too slow smoke had reached the last number of the countdown and with that the mission was a go, Chloe rose from her hiding spot and walked into he center of the road, that wasn't enough to gather all the attention in her, she had another plan. She raised her gun up aiming for the sky, ten she shot *BAM!* Accompanying the gunshot was a yell from Chloe "come get me fuckers!" She yelled

  I'm not time every infected in the area were all focused on Chloe as they rushed towards her.

  She ran leading them away, hopefully she could get buy her friends a little more time before returning.

  Blowing a tiny whistle with his mouth smoke complimented Chloe before running for the station accompanied by Zack "she's one hot stuff ain't she?".

  "Please be safe Chloe" Zack prayed. Joining smoke into the tiny grocery store attached to the station.

  "C'mon must be something useful in here right?"smoke asked slamming past some cartons on the floor while approaching a board stacked with vr keys, he concluded that was where the shopkeeper had left them while walking there. At least that made his jod a little easier.

  Still running and parkouring down the street Chloe had managed to stay as far away as she could from the infected, her legs were surprisingly able to run faster than sh had anticipated. Had she never tried running this fast before or even testing herself to her limits she wondered shooting an infected down while somehow climbing up and signboard and then leaping into a closeby apartment building through its destroyed window.

  "Ohh, that was intense" Chloe huffed slowly, she sat on the window pane stareing at the infected below her.

  "Hope they're alright" she thought placing both her hands on her face

  "Yh they are, why wouldn't they be, what's wrong with me................"she asked confused, why was she thinking about him at a time like this? Why? She wondered instantly reassuring herself she was just worried for his safety and that was all

  Had she bought them enough time she asked herself, staring at the sky, how long has she been there, better still what time was it. She couldn't sit anymore, she didn't wanna so she decided to explore the building she was in. The building has nothing interesting to offer she has explored most parts of the building and found nothing to interest her but that suddenly changed when she found a campfire at the bottom floor of the building what was more interesting she only found dead infected in the building and no live ones, was someone else here ?she was going to answer that herself later right now she needed to head out of the building, heading back up where she came from she heard someone call her name from behind "Chloe.....that you?" The voice asked, was it a mimick?......was it another infected with the ability to do so, no it couldn't, mimicks didn't kill other infected so what or who was behind her right now?. She slowly turned around to know who or what it was.
