Chapter 1
Escape

I can't feel my legs, I can't feel anything. Am I about to die? I don't know what's going on. Somebody, help me.

I open my eyes to find myself in a hospital. I hear an annoying, beeping noise to the left of me. I watch the nurse slowly approach me.

“So you're awake.” the nurse said to me. She had long brown hair, and a lot of freckles all of her face. The nurse was about five foot tall or so if I had to guess. She checked if everything was going smooth in the room.

“What happened,” I questioned. I wanted answers, and I wanted them now. All I know is that I've been injured, which is why I'm in a hospital obviously.

“Oh,” she began, “You must've been fighting or something, because you should three bullets wounds in your back. Apparently you did something to your nerve, because sometimes you will have feeling and sometimes you wont. We ran a test.”

“If you don't mind me asking, when will I get out,” I questioned, trying to be polite for a change. I thought I was being rather rude for my time being here.

“About a couple of weeks.” she said.

I nodded. I really don't have time for this crap. I'm in the middle of a war between the Ossyrian Kingdom, and the Victorian Kingdom. My name is Joseph. I don't know my last name, nor do I care. I wondered around the Victorian Kingdom since I was 5. That's as far as back I can remember. I have short blond hair, and about about five foot five. I'm a Gunslinger. That's pretty much all anyone is today anymore.

It's been an hour, and I've been laying down in the bed. I threw the sheets of me, and got up. I felt a little pain, the rest I couldn't feel. I found my stuff in the corner of the room. I took my gown off, and put on my equipment. I tied the bandages tighter in my back just in case I started to bleed again. I picked up my pistol, it was brand new. It was a Lunar Shooter, and it was red. It turned red over the couple of months I've been bashin' heads, you know?

I opened the door, and found the same nurse as before in my way. She started screaming at me, and telling me to get back in the room, but I didn't listen. She tried pushing me back into the room, but wasn't strong enough. I was in terrible condition too. About three other nurses joined in trying to get me in my room. It was getting on my nerve. I wanted to shoot them, but then I would feel guilty after awhile. I handled this the less-violent way by hitting them over the head with my gun. It knocked them out, and I escaped. Peace of cake.

I left the building to find myself in Kerning City. The medical squad brought me back pretty far. I saw some kids on the streets of Kerning City. They must be out of their mind to be on the streets of Kerning City. The cops have been trying to clean it up a bit, but it's not working. I was looking for a cab while walking down the streets.

After a mile of walking, I then saw a man dressed in blue and white. It was in Ossyrian Soldier. I pulled slipped my gun out of its holster. I aimed, and then a couple more soldiers popped out. They tried jumping me, but that didn't work at all..

“Come with us prisoner,” they hollered.

“I wouldn't be so sure about that.” I said. I aimed my gun, and shot the two down easily. I pulled some ammo out of my bag, and reloaded quickly. As for the man walking down the street, he was gone.

Then I felt a cold metal touch my neck. It was him.

“Come with me.” he said.

I jammed my elbow into his guts, and he flew back, dropping his knife. I quickly turned around. It was an Ossyrian thief. I shot him, but his speed dodged the bullets. His speed was amazing. He slipped a star out of his pocket. I thought I could easily dodge it, but I was wrong.

Ehh…CH2 will be better
