--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarah Burst through the doors, a small congregation of settlers has gathered around the corpse of stockholm, sarah roared, as the rest of the ghouls came charging through behind her, she unlocked her two armblades and sliced through two settlers, she continued to slice through settlers untill she came to some resistance, a merc who was in moriarties saloon had been standing there when she came through, the two crossed blades and continued to fight, he hit her with the butt of his rifle, breaking the bottom left corner of her gas mask out, she let loose her long tounge, a rare occurance in ghouls, wrapping around and licking the blood off her face. Before stabing him in the throat whilst his attention was on her face.
She continued her rampage through the streets of megaton, screams of smoothskins filled the air, and roars of ghouls filled her heart, she pulled one of the glowing ones down into the pitt where the nuke was, the feral understood the reason for this, he hugged the nuke, and started radiating more powerfull radiation in a wider radius, she felt the bloodlust rush through her body, her eyes lit with rage, she ran up to moriarties saloon, pulling out her Automatic Pistols. she set her guns to release 3 shots per pull of her trigger, after clearing out moriarties saloon she marshalled some ghouls in there to feast on the corpses, she noticed some concentrated fire coming from outside the water purifier centre, she put her guns away and started running, using her agilness to leap over the edge, grabbing on metal pipes and swinging herself onto a roof, she ran across the roofs of megaton untill she was just above the resistance, she heard Eli yell for assistance, she dropped down into the middle of the platform, driving arm blade through jerichos stomach, incapacitating him, before pulling out her officers sword, slashing at the back of Leo stahls knees, bringing him to the ground, just as all their fire was about to hit her, Charon Eli and Roy burst through guns ablaze, she jumped up and kicked Billy Creel over the balcony, breaking both his legs and imcapacitating him.
Sarah nodded to eli and charon, and jumped down to craterside supply, just as a loud explosion was heard inside the shop, as the old one walked out of the small shop, she smiled at him before running off to kill another fleeing smoothskin, he was fast, he made it to the gates before sarah, she pulled out her pistol and shot him in the knees, she dragged him back in by his hair, and placed his head over the open pipe on the stairs down to the bomb, "Goodbye" she said slicing his head off, his blood mixed well with the spraying water.
"Drink.. DRINK MY BROTHERS" she yelled as some ferals ran to drink the bloodwater that was spraying over megaton, she laughed manically as fires sprouted up all over megaton and corpses littered the streets, she continued her bloody rampage and entered a house, she looked down on the table to the right and saw a videodisk, she left it when she heard crying upstairs, she drew her sword and walked upstairs, she walked up and noticed the young girl under her bedsheets, sarah immediately jumped on her, trapping her beneath her thighs, the little girl screamed as sarah removed the sheets and her gasmask, sarah slowly cradled the child, singing a lullaby to her, calming the young girl, bringing her face side by side hers, she kissed the little girls cheek, she had calmed down.
"There there, dont worry little girl, i promise everything will be fine," she said lovingly, sandra kissed the girl on the cheek again the lingering motherly kiss that sarah had never gotten, the little girl wrapped her arms around sarah, something she hadn't expected.
"Really?" the little girl enquired, "Will it all be fine?"
"Yes..." sarah said, "now, put your sheets back over your head and go to sleep" as the little girl did as sarah said, sarah slowly raised her blade and plunged it into the clean white sheets, as the blood stain slowly encroached on what was left of the white material, sarah lifted the corpse of the little girl and carried her outside, most of the fighting had subsided by now, and some of the fires were being contained, corpses of the humans were being feasted on by the ferals in the main center of megaton.
Sarah carried the corpse of the little girl outside of megaton, lying her down against some rocks, sandra replaced her gas mask with a fresh one she had strapped to her back, so no-one could see her cry, she unlodged her sword from the little girls chest, and removed the sheet, staring into the closed eyes of the little girl, a smile still fresh on her face from sarahs deceit.
Sarah started to dig a shallow grave for the young girl, she was innocent, but sarah had did as ordered 'None Shall Survive' the orders of eli wrang in her head, the little girls voice crawled within her skull, 'Really, Everything is going to be ok?' sandra continued to cry as she dug the little girls grave, by the time it was big enough the sun had started to rise, sarah placed the little girls corpse in the grave, placed her hands on her chest and wiped the bloodstains from her face, as sarah did, she cut a small piece of the little girls blouse off, and smelled it, before covering her in the shroud of bedsheets, trying to protect what was left of the girl, she slowly covered her in dirt, still crying as she did, by the time that the girls body was covered, the sun was peaking out from behind the rocks to the east, sarah grabbed the small patch of the girls blouse, and her pillow case, the case was red with blood, this would be her flag, her rememberence of what she was fighting for, the symbol of the uprising, a BloodStained Flag, she smelled the small patch of material from the little girls clothes, and stuffed it in her pocket, she grabbed a small stone that had a flat surface and placed it like a gravestone over the little girls grave.
Sarah stood upright, and looked into the sunrise, "Everything is going to be fine" she said to herself patting the pocket with the fabric in it, she walked back into megaton, looking around as the ghouls had gathered in the center of town, Charon and roy intercected her, coming from both exits,
"where have you been?" Roy asked
"Survivors, escaped" she said bluntly
"I didnt see any" charon said
"Get your eyes checked" sarah snapped, obvious that this line of questioning would get them nowhere, charon told sarah that eli was going to adress all of the ghouls and she was wanted.
Sarah walked up and stood beside eli as he adressed his troops, his speech was stirring and made sarah think that everything she had done tonight was worth it, she thought about that little girls face, the purity in her age, she felt the tears well up again in her eyes, luckily the glass covering sarahs eyes in her gas mask, where tinted so no-one could see her, it made her feel cold for a second, the fact that no-one could see her, she looked down at her feet, and thought, no-one here had ever seen her body, how did they know she was even a ghoul, snapped out of it when people started clapping for eli as he finished her speech, she joined in and looked at the rest of the feral ghouls, they were even clapping, she noticed changes in the ferals when they were around normal ghouls, they were reforming, perhaps they could return to their former lives.
When the clapping stopped, sarah walked into the house that the little girl had been in, she sat on the bed, and pushed her fingers into the hole that she had made with the sword, she started to cry again, she heard Charon bark orders to the new recruits, Tom and ben starting to marshall the Ferals and Eli talking with them, sandra stood up, wiped her eyes, and replaced her mask on her face, she slid her hand into the pocket, she fondled the little patch of fabric before walking out to megaton, to see charon marshall the troops and tell them what to loot, and what to leave, she lent against the railings and looked down.
"This is who you are, This is what you are, This is what must be done for the greater good, For her memory, For your memory, For your race..." these hollow reassurences filled her body and her mind, for the past three hours teh little girls voice had crawled within her skull words ment nothing to a dead girl, sarah said to herself. She walked and met up with Eli, Charon, Ben, Tom, John and Roy.
"What Next, Sir?" sarah said flatly...
