1One hundred and forty years ago in the year 2013, a government experiment went wrong causing worldwide mayhem and panic. Children were enlisted at the age of five to fight and all branches of the military put aside their differences to work together. Curfews were put into place and Sanctuaries were built to protect the people. But still the virus was out and there was no one to control except one. One whose life was forever changed when she was born. Born to kill in the world and set what was once broken right this child was destined to either set the human race free or destroy all mankind and the virus. So in the year 2150 five men set out to find this mythical woman and face down the virus that the world had lived with all those years. To face down the creatures that were only supposed to be mythical but weren't due to an experiment gone wrong. But what they were to come to face to save the world was more than they ever thought it would be.
The lights of the house were off and no flashlights were seen shining through the windows. The group trudged up to house lugging their bags while still being silent. The group, all Navy Seals were quieter than the still air, none knowing that their silence was what the presence followed. One man stood out from the rest, he signaled two of the four men to go left and to the back to make sure they were alone and signaled the other two to go right and to the back. The man was taking no chances with his life nor his mens' lives. He stood at the front of the house waiting for his men to turn the corners aware of the body creeping up behind him at last. He turned and shined his light but the figure was already behind him with their weapon at his throat.
"What the hell are you doing at my house?" The voice sounded rough and throaty. The man tried to do an evasive maneuver but the figure was still too fast and had the man on the ground which was an amazing feat considering he was six three and two hundred and fifty pounds of pure muscle. This unknown man must be strong.
"Names-" the man tried to start but was cut off when the knife cut into his throat.
"Didn't ask your name. I want to know what you and the other four men are doing at my house." The knife let up to let him speak again. All of a sudden four lights shined downed on them but the figure was gone.
"What the hell is going on?" The man who asked that question lowered his hand to help the man off the ground. "Ricky where the hell did the guy go?"
"Sammy that was no man unless, he wears a bra and knows how to knit." A guy peering into the window called them all over.
"Croquet, I never figured out how to knit. The voice came from the shadows. Five flashlights turned toward the voice. "What the hell are you doing here, if I may ask once again?" The voice came from the porch this time.
"Come into the light and we will answer." The man named Ricky answered. He never saw her leap at him so he barely knew what hit him. One minute he was standing with his men the next was laying on the ground with a knee on his groin and the knife back at his throat.
"Is this good enough for you?" The woman was shrouded in darkness and the lights were blinding to his eyes.
"Damnit lights off. We are looking for Private Bryan Wallace. We were hoping to stay the night here in safety ma'am." Ricky explained after the lights were off.
The knife was let up but whether it was because of the explanation he couldn't tell. "Did you really just call me ma'am? I'm probably younger than you." The voice choked out. One of the men snickered and was nearly killed when a blade went soaring past his face. "You find that funny Ensign Sam Michel's?" The woman asked.
"How do you know who we are?" Michel's asked.
"I know all of you. Lieutenant Richard Combras. Petty Officers Jeremiah and Titus Walls and Senior Chief George Brown."
"Who the hell are you?" Sammy asked, pointing his gun.
"Boys meet Private Bryan Wallace." Ricky flipped their positions and signaled for the lights. "Didn't know you were a girl ma'am."
"Am I the only to realize Ricky got taken down by a female?" Titus asked laughing.
"I would not laugh T. Wallace here as more training than any of us and has gone through all SEAL training and is at the ripe age of 23. Enlisted at the age of 9 and disappeared at 16 and was reported to have been kidnapped by the Birds and killed because she couldn't be controlled. Did I miss anything Wallace?" Ricky asked looking down at the woman underneath him.
"Nope. Wait your forgetting when at 17 I killed every one of my captives and went into hiding. What the hell are you looking for me for? And would you get the hell," she bucked under him and Ricky flew off of her, "off of me?" She stood up and was back in the house within the blink of an eye. The men were left gaping at the open door. "Are you gonna just stand there or are you coming in?" The men cautiously walked into the house wondering just what the hell was going on.
