Fiction: Group 4
A bullet flew right through my shoulder blade.
I hissed when the bullet had shredded through layers of skin, muscle and finally through my bone at such a
high speed.
Blood had traveled down the base of my shoulder down to my arm, the crimson liquid dripping onto the
ground, like small raindrops falling off the tip of a leaf.
BANG.
Another shot hit me, this time it flew through my side. My eyes widened as the signals from my nervous
system hit. This pain was horrible; I curled my arm over my stomach and placed my hand over my side,
blood streaming through my fingers.
Then finally, the sound of footsteps echoed through the empty halls of the factory. There were more men
coming. I didn’t have any time to battle just one man.
Teeth gritted I turned tail and made a dash for the front door, letting out a grunt of pain.
There was no way that I would manage to take down a crusade of trained men with just two pistols, manage
to get to the head of this factory, kill them and then destroy the factory. I needed help and quickly.
Kicking myself forward I grabbed onto the door’s ledge pushing myself outside and with a jerk of my arm,
the door had slammed shut. Letting out a deep breath.

I sat back at Ms. Lin’s house, bandages now wrapped around my side and shoulder. Sat next to me was my
other partner, a young man, around age twenty with brown hair that reached to his shoulders, blue eyes,
and a small scar that ran across the side of his cheek. He was sitting beside me with a cup of tea in hand.
“What do you mean you are going to start a revolution? These villagers don’t know how to fight at all, and
not to mention they don’t exactly have guns.” He said, bringing the cup to his lips.
I huffed; Vexus, that’s what his name was.
He always one to shut down my ideas, “people want to live in good conditions right?” I said, a determined
look on my face.
“But with that factory making their home a wasteland they can’t do that. So if we convince them to fight
with us, we can enter our way into the Factory from the distraction and then we can kill the leader and
blow the place up.”
Vexus raised a brow at me, that look always said that I had some big flaws in that idea. Ms. Lin sighed, and
waved her hand about.
“It’s the only idea that we have. I’ll call the villagers. They will only be used to distract the guards whilst
you two make your way into the factory, understand?” she said, her arms crossed.
The both of us nodded, standing up immediately and making our way outside.
