Every man to themselves.

Arrival

I felt kind of sticky as I fell down onto the hard ground, bruising my knees and scabbing my hands. I'm confused and terrified as I hear the groans of others falling to the ground as well. We didn't fall far maybe a few meters off the ground but it was entirely unexpected. I take a deep breath before finding my way to my feet, looking around at my surrounds i am on an abandoned road near forest and an odd looking house behind where I am standing. The look on everyone else's faces is painful, searching around for something to boast their memories of what had happened to them. I stand there in silence, there is a guy running towards us from the forest with to what looked like a gun "everyone get down!" I say, before finding a gun at my feet. And before I could think I drop to my knees picking up the gun and shot at him.

*flash back*
There is mud and dirt flying in the air from all directions, rocks being chucked and bullets being sprayed across the battle field. "Algraaaa" I get shot in the arm, dropping my weapon to my feet. Looking down at it, I recognise the type of gun knowing exactly how many bullets are in the cartridge and how much range I need to be within a person to do maximum damage... but why? Why do I know this?

A distressed scream forces me to look up at my surrounds.
*pulled back to reality*

I kneel there in shock, overwhelmed with the fast reaction I took to handle the situation. I look around to check if everyone is okay. There is a young girl with red hair and a dark green shirt standing in her mother's arms. The mother has run mascara down her face holding her child tight in her arms, she looks to be in her 20's almost about younger "it's okay baby, we'll be just find, mummy is here to take care of you, I won't let anything happen to you" she comforts the girl. There is a man looking at them in a suit which is dirty from the fall but looks to almost be an rich man, he has one of those trendy hair cuts and golden watches. There are 6 people in total, an elder man to look about is early 50's and a younger teenage girl to be about 16-17 about, they both have a confused look on their faces.

I take the gun in my hand and slide it into the back hems of my jeans out of view from the others. "Does anyone know what's going on here?" The suited man asks looking around at each of us. By the look of confusion on everyone's faces gave him his answer. "So what are we going to do? Just stand here all day it's starting to get dark." He continues "Why don't we get to shield?".

I turn back to the body on the ground, the guy in his early 50's walks up to. "Stay away from him" I say. The guy doesn't listen just looks up at me with a intense brow before flipping the collapsed dead body, the guy I just killed. "The guys names Jerry and he works at an motors store" the elder says. I walk up to him "he was armed with that gun run towards us" I say. The man picks up the weapon "don't worry you can trust me, we don't know what's going on here but hopefully we can figure it out together" he smiles putting the gun to his side.

I turn around to check the others, their gone. "Where did they go?" the man beside me asks. "I don't know, finding shelter" I say turning back around to find the man aiming the gun at me. "Oh... hold on" I say moving backwards a little. "I remember now." He starts "why is this man with a gun running around? It's all man to himself now..." he continues "I can't trust anyone not even you"

I reach behind my back ready to pull out the gun from my jeans. "Why? I don't know you, you don't know me, why can't we just get along man?" I say a bit shaken. The man laughs "that's the problem, I don't know you and everyone's out to kill..." before he could say anything more I pull the gun from my jeans and quick shot the man in the chest. The man falls to his knees dropping the gun. I swear under my breath, that was a close one. Before I could think about it I wonder off away from the two body's on the road.

I walk up to the door of the house that's beside the road and knock on it. "Hello?" I say. The door opens revealing the young teen. She motions for me to come in. I walk inside to find everyone sitting at a table with cashew nuts and red vines. "So does anyone remember anything before the drop?" The suited man asks. The mum with the small girl on her lap begins to shake her head. "Where is the guy that was with you?" The suited man asks me.

Now. Do I lie and say "He grab a gun off the dead guy and left" or tell the truth and say "he lost his mind and aimed a gun at me"? Your choice....
