Third-Person POV

            Jesse stood up to his feet 'Why the heck did he give me mercy right on the spot?!' he thought. Feet sifting through the red sand as he followed Jerald and the other guy (i which he still didn't know the name of) "I promise this would work out fine!" Jerald happily to the other guy. Jerald didn't wear a helmet, so his dark, long-ish black hair waved through the air. And he also had a bright smile and a Joyful/Playful Personality. You'd be surprised If you saw him stabbing something to death with his sword on the battlefield.

      "Okay, so what is this all about?" Jesse asked confused. Jerald  turned to the other guy "Tell em boss!". "Okay" he replied "Jerald over there was thinking that, we could use you on our troops. We've been needing new recruits anyways, especially after--- I.. I'll tell you more when we inside base"

        A moment later, they reached the base. It was a tall building with a very high tower in the back, and it's rooms stretched out here and there forming a sort of wall. It was painted whited with streaks of red There were minecarts in the front which were used for nothing. "Wow" Jesse said surprised, "I know right!" Jerald grinned "I'm always astonished".

             Jesse's POV

        I saw the two doors to the building open up, showing the inside. the was a ring around the room that reveal the second floor. "ay, Blondie's back!" a voice said in a sly tone. my vision cleared up to see a guy with blood red hair stuck up into a pointy mohawk. 'what is he talking about, blondie?'  I thought. At that moment I saw the guy in front of me take of his helmet, uncovering shoulder-length poofy blonde hair. "I told you not to call me that!", the voice sounded more feminine now....

       HOLY CRAP THAT'S A WOMAN! 

       she turned around to face me "Why are you acting so surprised? Was my gender unclear?!". I didn't even noticed the surprised look on my face "well..u-um....yeah" I stuttered. She didn't look as pissed as I thought she was gonna be. Instead, she smiled "Thats okay, happens with everyone". she seemed much different from earlier, In which she was pointing a sword to my neck. "the names Elliot, you could call me Ellie or stuff like that but just don't call me by my hair color. I find the whole dumb blonde subject VERY offensive". Her purple eyes shimmered in the light. 

       The mohawk guy jumped down from a couple of crafting tables that he was sitting on. "so, who is the new guy?" he asked. "Jesse, I'm Jesse" I replied. He looked confused "Isn't that a girls na----" he was gonna finished until Elliot elbowed him hard in the stomach "its Unisex!" she snapped "just like mine". wow, at least we have something in common now. "Sorry about what Nick over there said, he can be very rude sometimes." she said to me. I didn't really take any offense to it, my name has been  mistaken for a girls names plenty of times before. "It's cool, its not the first it has happened i can tell you that" I joked. 

         Elliot giggled a bit "Come on, I'll show you around".  She turned to Jerald "Jerald, keep watch with Indy in the control room, kay?" Jerald nodded "yes ma'am". We walked down hallways of metal and tech. Seems like the environment you'd see in a Sci-Fi movie. There were single block windows of glass panes. I looked out into the red sanded domain "Why is this place like this?". Elliot bit her cheek "I believe that a long time ago, there was a nuclear war here, and It blew away all the environment. Which left the ground looking like this" she shrugged "thats just my theory though". 

       I noticed something on her left cheek. It was a scratch mark, a big one too.

         Elliot's POV

        I walked through the hallway with him. WHY THE HECK IS HE SO CUTE!? wait, no, what the heck am I thinking! I should be thinking about more important things. But, this is important.. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't focus on reality. He was staring at me, His Green eyes widened. What the heck was he staring at.. wait, the scratch.  The scratch I got from battling a group of zombies one time. I quickly covered it with my hand and turned away. 

        I didn't even know how much I was blushing. Is he really that cute or am I just overreacting?! Then, I heard his voice "How did you get that?" he asked me. I turned back to face him, red at the cheeks. I lifted my hand of the scratch. "Just a scar I got from battling a couple of zombies, no biggie" I smiled awkwardly.  

          "Elliot! come here!" I heard Indy yell from the control room.  "Coming!" I quickly rushed there, Jesse followed behind me. I stormed through the room "whats wrong?!" I yelled. Indy twisted her fingers through her dark brown hair. Jerald spoke up "the next wave is starting". 

      Jesse looked at me, confused "What does he mean?" he asked me. "Jesse, do you have any fighting experience?" I asked him.  

               "yes" he nodded

           "good, cause your gonna need it" I smirked.
