Nadia and Aleks were huddled together for warmth. They were closer than ever now that they fought together.

Anna was alone as always. Tears layed in her eyes from fighting so long as a soldier. "I just want to get away." After a brief decision, she ran off to the rebels.

Josh and Kyle were planning an invasion of enemy camp. Josh was Kyle's half-brother, but they were tighter. "Here." Josh pointed at the map. "Sure?" Kyle asked.

Sydney was as happy and go lucky as ever. She had just come from a battle, which she had won, and was planning on celebrating. She was as elated at the phone call about another battle looking to be fought with her in it. "Of course."

Bailey was cleaning his gun. Angry at his girl, military was the only thing comforting him. He stroked every part of the smooth barrel.

Steve sits around small fire. "When do we fight? I want revenge!"

~Meanwhile in Long Island~

Matthew Mercer was sprinting down an alleyway, running from building to building. Running away from chaos. The soldiers were out to get him. All the citizens have evacuated, and the town was practically on fire. He had to escape somehow...

He hears soldiers in the distance..

Soldiers: "Where are you coward?! You can run forever, but you can't hide forever!"

Matt: *He whispers to himself* "Damn... they're near.." *He tries to climb the top of the building: The Empire State Building.*

Sydney was taking the first flight tommorrow. She decided to sleep off her excess energy.

Kyle came out to see Steve sitting by himself. "Hey. We have someone coming tommorrow. Be prepared."

Matthew: "Crap..." *He climbs window through window, and finds an opening. He enters this opening, and looks down at the soldiers.*

*One soldier spots him* Soldier 1: "Uhh... guys..." *He points right at Matt*

Matt: "Oh crap." *He runs to elevator, and goes to the top floor*

Josh was heading to his quarters. He was estatic that a new recruit was on the way. Some one so happy might put a lighter mood on the situation.

Bailey was a wreck in progess. He had drank away the saddness, but it was surpressed not cured. In an angry fit, he threw a beer bottle at the wall.

Steve: *hears shot* "What was that? They must be close." *pulls out guns*

Matthew: "God, I gotta join the people who fights these guys." *The soldiers appear from the elevator*

*Matt Begins to run away but stops as he reaches the end of the building*

Soldiers: "You are trapped now. Surrender yourself now!"

*looks at radar* "5 knocks that way." *points at forest*

Anna arrived at a rebel based and camped in a random room. She was so tired, she fell on the floor and slept there.

Mat: "I wouldn't point those weapons at me so soon..."

He quickly draws his throwing knives, and throw them all at once, piercing the all 5 soldiers.

Matt: "Yeah. Thats why you don't mess with me.."

Sydney's excitedness was overly present. She hit the shooting range with her 9mm. She started up the moving targets and til her hearts content.

*Finds a rebels poster on the floor*

Poster says:

"
Dear Citizens,

Are you tired of these damn soldiers invading the town? Quartering homes, doing anything to control the city? Well join us today! We will provide you with food, drinks, and a home. JOIN NOW!

~Love,
THE REBELS
"

Matthew: "Wow. Very convenient."

"Quickly team. Let's get moving." *points at forest and moves towards it*

Anna was totally out. She was dreaming about her ex love, Josh, and his currrent love, Sydney.

*runs into forest* "Okay guys they're close." *looks around forest*

Matt checks the back of the poster for a location/address.

*Insert Address here*

Sydney decided to head to Indianna tonight.

Josh was thinking of Kyle's reaction to a new recruit, especially one who take away some focus.

Bailey chugged another beer. He cleaned his gun spotless and drank himself to an almost alcoholic coma.

*holds up guns* "Where are you guys?" *looks around*

Aleks was afraid for him and Nadia especially seeing Nadia was pregant with his child. He picked her up and carried her to a safer room

Matt: "Well, I guess I'm walking. All the way there." (Where is it? Lol)

(Just pick somewhere) Anna woke up abruptly to a horrible dream. "Wow." She said faintly to herself.

Mat: "Arizona. Here I come." *Sighs*

On the way to Indianna, she noticed Matt. She pulled over the car and asked, "Where you headed?"

*looks around* "Squad. Squad?" *whispers* "They're gone."

Matt: "Indiana. You?"

Josh looked at the clock. "It's late. Big day tommorrow."

Kyle layed on the grass looking at the stars. "They're so pretty."

Sydney answered, "Same, hop in."

"Well, I am kinda in a hurry. I am wanted.. I need to get to Indiana.. Join the rebels.."

"Hope that's a joke." She laughed a little and smiled a friendly smile teacher give on the first days of school.

"I'm sorry. I should probably go now.." Said Matthew. *He continues his jog to Indiana

"Okay?" Sydney cranked up some Lupe Fiasco and continued to Indianna.

"Guys? Guys? Haha very funny come out now." *hears rattle* "Who's there. Don't make me shoot."

*He Hears Lupe Fiasco* "omg. I love this song! Where is this coming from?"

"Guys?" *holds up gun* "I will shoot you." *fires*

Taryn woke up, and grinned. "..Time to play.." she mumbled, taking out her sniper rifle, and going to run to higher ground, in order to get a better shot at the rebels.

Josh was driven to wake up. "Sydney arrives today." He jumped in the shower and quickly washed up. He was extremely excited to see a new face around base.

*Matt continues his jog as he hears the lupe fiasco in the distance*

"Damn engine." Sydney decided to pull over and check it. She had skills a mechanic would be jealous of. She messed with the carborator and hit the battery. However the car still would stop overheating

*Matt is halfway through it, and he stops at a nearby restaurant for a bit of rest*

"Guess I'll walk." Sydney was extremely frustrated now. Her stomach grumbled and remembered a resturant a mile back

Matt: "Wow. Its a Mc.Donalds.. Haven't had one in so long." *He doesn't enter because the line for food goes out the door*

*looks in the bush* "It wasn't one of ours. There must be more." *holds up gun* "Show yourselves."

*Matt impatiently waited in line...*

Matt: "Damn... at this rate, the cops and soldiers will find me.." Then a random built stranger turns around in front of me.

Stranger: "I'll find who?" He looks at my face and gasps "ITS HIM!" He grabs out his magnum, but Matt grabs another man hostage.

Matt: "You even THINK about killing me, and the girl dies." He draws his desert eagle.

Taryn said nothing, as she pointed her sniper rifle out of a window, in the little base she was in, ready to head-shot any rebels, and probably anyone else besides the soldiers.

"Don't make me shoot you people!" *fires wildly around* "Take that!" *looks at bodies* "They're all enemies. There may be more." *runs to nearest town*

Josh was ready to go find Sydney at any cost. Sydney however walked into the McDonald's to see a hostage situation. Suddenly she pulled a 9 mm from her back pocket. "Don't move."

Matt puts his hand up in surrender, then is shocked.
Matt: "Wait.. have I seen you before?"

Sydney looked at him carefully. "Oh my god. I offered you a ride." She continued to leave the gun up but wasn't going to shoot.

Matt: "Yeah... That was you..." *Lets the hostage go, but holds throwing knives in his hands secretly*

With her quick thinking, Sydney said, "I'm not an idiot. I know you have another weapon. I'll set my gun down if you put down your weapon."

Matt: "I don't know. You could be lying and turn me in or something.. You sure?"

He gets the knives ready just in case.

"Yes." Sydney starts to set down her gun. she went down slow deliberately. She wasn't going to die from the hand of a rebels like him.

"Fine. You seem trust worthy I think..." Matt Drops the knives "Well..."

*runs to nearest place* "Oh a Micky D's!" *enters*

"Well what?" She was slightly impatient, but she just negotiated a hostage situation. Then she looked at him again as she straightened back up.

"Alright... uh... im gonna go now? I think.. Am I?" Matt begins to feel very awkward because if she was just an ordinary soldier, he would've killed her. Male or Female, no matter what. She seemed a bit different from the others, and he was concerned.

Sydney started to exit leaving the pistol behind. She had plenty of them. Then she turned back around. "I wish I could fight along side you."

Matt hears her and is confused on her words, and walks over to her. "Wait. What did you say about fighting along side me?"

"I wish I could. You seem like you know what you're doing." She looked up at him. Her blonde hair was plastered to her face from sweat, so she shifted it to behind her ear.

"You probably can. Whats stopping you? All the other soldiers are against me, so there is no point in me joining you side." Matt said. He stuck out his hand. "You CAN join us.."

"I don't know. I grew up to learn a soldiers life." Sydney started to have a strange feeling inside. She had never felt this, but it was every time she saw him. She grabbed his hand and said, "Alright."

"Wow. That was a pretty quick decision. So, you mind giving me a ride?" Matt said in enjoyment. He tried not to blush as she grabbed his hand

"Well... if you can fix cars." She gave an awkward look of embarrassment. She didn't want to admit she had let her car overheat.

"Well, I guess we are walking a LONG way then." Matt says as he continues to hold her hand. "Lets go." The hostage stared at them in complete confusion.

"So where are we going?" She blushed from him holding her hand. Matt seemed innocent. At that thought she shivered. there had to be a reason he was a fugitive.

"I honestly don't know exactly where... Somewhere in indiana though." (brb)

"What's this?" *looks at situation going on* *raises gun* "Freeze!"

"Okay." She was even more hot because of outside. She felt Matt was a different kind of rebel. He trusted her. Suddenly she heard a voice.

(back) As he holds her hand, I walk slowly with her on the sunset. "Its beautiful out..."

"Put em up!" *holds gun with tight grip*

"Yeah." She walked closer over to him and put his arm around her shoulder.

"HEY! I'm talking here! Put em up!" *shoots gun into air*

Sydney freaked out and turn around. "What do you want from these people?" She had fear for their lives.

"No. It's you. You monster." Steve fears his life is at stake when he remembers the painful memories.

"Yeah, seriously!" He holds her in protection.

"I'm not a monster." She teared up a little. No one ever thought of her as a monster. She wiped away the tears and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"You killed... my parents." Steve cries at the vary thought of his parents being shot.

"I never had the courage to shoot anyone." Sydney started to cry harder. "I'm sorry they died though." She felt terrible.

"You did it! I remember it as clear as crystal. You and your dumb army! You will pay for what you did." Steve raises his gun to shooting position.

Sydney pointed her head down and sniffled up. If she was going to die, she wasn't going to look her killer in the eyes

"My parents... dead... my squad... left me to die." Steve drops his gun. "I... forgive you."

Sydney lifted her head. "What? Why?"

"Maybe you've changed over the years. Maybe your different." Steve puts his gun away.

"Wait... what just... dude, im sorry for you... My parents died to the soldiers too..." Matt says worriedly. He begins to tear up at the sight of his parents shot in front of him.

Sydney broke out of Matt arms. She could handle being the cause of so much emotional trauma. She headed away from them, crying in empathy.

"Matt? Is that you? My friend!"

Matt just sits and sobs on the street pavement.. Not knowing what to do anymore.. He slowly got up and started walking as sunset turned dark... "Wait... is that.."

"MATT!" Steve runs over to him to give him a hug.

Sydney's tears were so bad, she didn't see a car heading toward her. Suddenly the car had run her over.

"OH ****!" He runs over to her in panic. "AW ****!"

"Matt?" Her voice was soft and almost nonexistant. She was bleeding everywhere, and eveything she did hurt.

"SOMEONE! CALL 911!" Matt begins to tear up at the sight of the bleeding girl that he JUST met..

"Oh my god?! What happened to her?" Runs over to her in panic.

Matt quickly reaches for his phone, which he left at long island. "CRAP!" He picks her up and attempts to carry her to the nearest hospital.

Sydney passed out from the pain.

"I got it." *calls 911*

Through her mind she was running every statistical outcome that could happened. The most frequent was death.

"K thanks Steve, I can NOT let her die like this.. You'll be okay sydney.. Promise."

Sydney came back to consciousness. She lifted up her head enough to see. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry.. I'm glad to see your back to life. Please stay.." (Brb again)
