Chapter 4: Sharpshooter
Alexis is quickly surrounded by Soldiers.
Alexis: "We're fucked!"
Samuel: "Don't you like stating the obvious!"
Alexis takes down two Soldiers by skewering them by the head in a row.
Alexis: "He really wants us dead."
Samuel: "Most soul bound people don't get this many Soldiers. He really wants us."
Meanwhile...
Amanda: "(drowsy) Huh?"
Amanda wakes up within the gray realm.
Amanda: "What did Alex hide from me?"
Amanda sees the golden light.
Amanda: "Is that where I have to go?"
Amanda begins to move toward the light until she hears a scream in the distance.
Girl: "(screaming) Anybody please help!!!"
Amanda: "(in head) The light can wait, I'm not going to leave someone in danger!"
Amanda moves in the direction of the scream.
Amanda: "Anyone there?!"
Girl: "Over here!"
Amanda finds a girl collapsed on the ground.
Amanda: "You alright?"
Girl: "Don't go to the light."
Amanda: "(shocked) Isn't that where we need to go?!"
Girl: "(crying) I lost nearly my whole family's very existence and I don't want to go there!"
Souldiers begin descending from the light.
Amanda: "Losing existence?"
Girl: "Only my siblings made it out."
Amanda: "(afraid) How did they get out?!"
Girl: "Our family has passed down the technique of soul bonding to avoid it."
Amanda: "(in head) Is this her secret? (out loud) Let's do it!"
Girl: "(hopefully) Will you really bond souls with me?!"
Amanda: "My friend is in danger, I need to get out of here as much as you!"
The girl and Amanda lock hands.
Chloe: "My name is Chloe."
Amanda: "I'm Amanda."
A white light surrounds the two.
Alexis: "(sweating) I can't keep up."
Samuel: "(panting) Could we only buy us one more week?"
Soldiers had beaten Alexis and covered her in cuts that have been slowly healing thanks to Samuel.
Alexis: "Game over?"
At this moment, Amanda wakes up.
Amanda: "Ready Chloe?"
Chloe: "(shakily) I hope so."
Twin, white pistols appear in Amanda's hands.
Amanda: "Die you bastards!"
Amanda sends a bullet of light through the cranium of a Soldier attempting to deal a decisive blow on Alexis.
Samuel: "Huh?"
Amanda steps in front of Alexis.
Chloe: "(happily) Sam?"
Samuel: "Chloe..."
Alexis: "You soul bonded?!"
Amanda: "I definitely wouldn't have understood up until now. Let's take these bastards down!"
Alexis grabs Amanda's hand.
Alexis: "Alright!"
Amanda quickly begins sending head shots left and right as Alexis slices gut to the neck.
Alexis: "That's all of them."
Time resumes.
Amanda: "Let's get to your place."
The two shakily walk to Alexis's home.
Alexis: "Good thing I live alone."
Chloe: "Guess we got lucky brother."
Amanda: "He your partner?"
Samuel: "Yes, soul bonders can talk to the partners of other soul bonders, but what are the chances of my little sister bonding with your friend?"
Alexis: "Sister?"
Chloe: "Two of four, our older brother and sister had already escaped."
Amanda: "Fate?"
Alexis: "We need to be careful if you haven't forgotten."
Samuel: "Two soul bonders are great to help each other from Soldiers. We should get on good terms with any others."
Alexis: "I was around the whole school the past week, no one else has bonded."
Amanda: "There is going to be a new student joining our first period. I hear that his family has moved from Japan."
Chloe: "We can always hope."
Samuel: "Classic Chloe."
Amanda: "We need to get home, mom will get worried."
Amanda heads home.
Samuel: "Why do you live alone?"
Alexis: "My parents passed away last year, they left me all of their money and house."
Samuel: "Ouch."
Alexis: "I'll get something to eat and call it a night."
