Chapter 1: the beginning of the end
the days were looking good for me and the rest of my family we had just bought a house and are now living in it. It's a good home, 1 story, good backyard and front yard, has a master bedroom and bathroom, and a room for me and my little sister. If you don't know who I am, my name is Fred Daniels I'm a 14 year old
Boy and has a 2 year old sister named Abigail Daniels. It was Monday the day everyone hates, the day where everyone just wants to stay home all day and not go to school. It was "supposed" to be a good day for me yet all I ever think about is the sadness I've had since coming to this place in the U.S. Florida is a good place yes but it's also filled with bad people. People that I can never make friends with or even talk to.
School is just much worse all day everyday I'm harassed by people that I hate with a burning passion and just want to beat the fuck out of them yet I can never do it because I'm just not that type of person. I really do want to but everytime I do it just doesn't click. At school I'm the most hated kid there no one wants to talk to me, hang out with me, or even help me with the simplest things. I truly have no friends people call me worthless, stupid, fat, ugly, well you know what they can just go and suck a dick for all I care if they're gonna be like that then I don't need any friends like them in my life. And if I have to, I'll even ask my parents to get me out of that school so I don't have to be there anymore.
The year is 2545 and we are in the near future since the 21st century, we've created the UNSC or the United Nation Space Command, and they've been fighting a common enemy called the covenant. This war has been raging on since the days of harvest and it's been going on for too long. Why does this include me, Fred Daniels and the rest of my family? Because my dad was a spartan my mom works for ONI or office of naval intelligence, a group of scientists and data clerks that get all kinds of Intel from higher ups like HIGHCOM, NAVCOM, or the UNSC in general.
I wanted to grow up just to be like my dad, a SPARTAN-2. In case you don't know him his name was and need I remind you WAS, ODST R Daniels. His name now is II Daniels S089 and he fights for the UNSC to keep peace in our galaxy.
Present day
"HEY JACKASS WE DONT LIKE YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR SCHOOL!!!"
That's what most of the kids at school say, they think they're so cool and popular and want to be big shots in the big leagues but you know what people are going to see who they truly are and leave them to make better friends then their sorry asses
"HEY HOW ABOUT YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!! AT LEAST IM NOT SOME POPULAR DOUSHBAG THAT GOES AROUND SAYING TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SCHOOL YOU CAN GO DIE IN YOUR OWN GRAVE FOR ALL I CARE!!!"
That earned me a punch to the face but you know what I can take it. Punches don't hurt me because I've been punched so many times before and now it doesn't even hurt me. Maybe I should've shut up but I couldn't let that bastard demoralize me like that so I defended myself but all that got me was a punch so note to self, ALWAYS stay quiet.
Monday, April 14th, 2544 4:15 pm
It was dismissal time at school so I can go home and get away from this hell that I was in. As I'm walking to the bus one of the kids comes up, knocks my stuff to the ground then pushes me to the ground "don't get up it'd be best if you didn't I wouldn't want to punch a lame ass loser like you" so you know what I stayed down because I didn't need another punch to the face today. After he left I got on my bus and went home simple as that. I get to my bus stop and since I'm at the first stop, I'm alone where no one can follow me or beat the hell out of me. I'm also relatively close to the bus stop so I can just get there and back within 5 minutes. I look up at the sky it's amazing no clouds in the sky not even a single plane or pelican up there. Then that's when I see something in the distance in the sky like a little object coming towards the ground I wonder if it was a little drone from the UNSC to check up on us but when it got closer I was so wrong. IT WAS A MOTHERFUCKING COVENANT BANSHEE!!! So I ran to my house as fast as I could to get my mom to contact ONI and get the UNSC here
Before the covenant glasses the Damn planet!!
"MOM MOM MOM!!! THERES A COVENANT BANSHEE OUTSIDE!
"Oh Fred you and the covenant. The covenant haven't even found this planet yet so what makes you think they would find us now?
"MOM I'm not joking around!!! Come outside see for yourself i promise you there is I saw it with my own eyes and I don't lie either!!"
"Fine. I'll look outside Fred but I'm telling you there is no banshee outside whatsoever.
As my mom went to look outside she opened the door and stopped midway to look up and was horrified at what she was seeing. She saw the banshee but it also had a squadron of banshees with it.
"FRED GET YOUR THINGS NOW!!! We are leaving this planet I'm contacting ONI to give us a Pelican to
Find a different planet to settle on.
"But mom what about dad??? We need to let the UNSC know about this we need to let dad know about this!! We can't just leave without him knowing where we're gonna be its pointless!!!
"Ugh fine Fred just get your things and your sister we need to leave."
I packed all the essentials guns that I've been trained with since I was 10, clothes, food and water. We left as soon as we could to get to the nearest ONI building to get off the planet.
Earth. The Last safe haven for all humans to colonize on. Now burned and glassed by the covenant. We knew this day would come. When they would find us, take over our planet and kill us all. We knew this would happen but we weren't prepared for this large scale army. now all we can do is fight or die trying.
Present day
we left the house as soon as we could to get to the nearest ONI building. I sat in the back with my sister to make sure she didn't get hurt in the process of getting off earth. I care about her a lot and if I lost her and my mom id probably have nothing left. Except my dad but he's a spartan and I can never talk to Spartans like my dad. They're always out fighting on different planets in different part of the galaxies, it's just pointless. We were in the Car driving on the highway and all I see are covenant ships flying overhead us and a big covenant carrier high in the sky getting ready to glass the planet we held so dear.
This planet was all we had that was even remotely close to home and If we lost it then what could we call home? My mom was wearing her standard ONI uniform to identify herself as part of ONI she's basically a higher up in the office of naval intelligence and gets lots of classified info that I don't know about. as we were driving covenant were landing on the left side of the free way and there were lots of them too. Grunts, elites, jackals, and even hunters. How do I know this you may ask? Well my mom tells me everything about the covenant to the point where I exactly know what and who they are. As we're getting near the exit tunnel I see a jackal sniper on the left of us and try to warn my mom
"MOM JACKAL SNIPER TO THE LEFT OF US!!!"
"WHERE???"
CRACK
"MOM NO!!"
My mom was shot in the head the car spun out of control and me and my sister almost died but we were thankful enough to be alive
"Mom... Mom no... HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED!!"
As I mourn over my mom I knew that I had to be strong so I searched for her phone to contact ONI about this whole thing and get help
"Come on you damn piece of shit work for me please.. Please!!"
"Office Of Naval Intelligence state your name business and ID number"
I looked through my moms stuff for a quick second to see if she had an ID card to talk to the person on the other line
"Name: Emma Daniels
Business: contacting ONI supervisor of Emma Daniels
ID number: ED-1135-345-ONI"
"Access granted contacting supervisor of Emma Daniels"
The phone was ringing when I heard a male voice chime in on the phone
"This is the supervisor of Emma Daniels who is this on the other Line?"
"Supervisor... This is Fred Daniels Emma Daniels' son... I'm sorry to tell you that she was shot in the head by a jackal sniper... The covenant are on earth and I need help!!! Can you get someone to our current location? It's on the east highway I-23 I'm in an exit tunnel and I can't get out"
"I'll see what I can do but for now hold tight we're coming Fred"
"One more thing?"
"And what is that"
I need you to contact my father
His name is as stated: SPARTAN-2 DANIELS S089 I need him to know about this and what happened contact him for me and tell him what happened it would be gladly appreciated."
"Understood we have UNSC personnel en route to your position ETA: 10 minutes hold out for a little bit longer and I'm sorry but I have to hang up the line there are other people in need of assistance. Good luck Fred and may your mom rest in peace."
CLICK
And that was the last I ever heard from him for now though I had to be strong and get some weapons out of the car to kill the bastard that took my moms life.
"Let's see what he have here. A magnum, assault rifle, and a shotgun. This'll do. But the only weapon I'm good with is the magnum I guess that's my only way to defend myself for now."
That's when that jackal sniper was about to make a shot for me so I got the weapons and ducked under the car to make sure I didn't die like my mom did. That's when I took the magnum aimed right at the jackals head and shot
CRACK
then all I see is purple blood and the jackal falling right down into the ground without incident. I took my sister out of the car and told her that we're gonna be ok and that people are going to help us. And speak of the devil the UNSC came as soon as I said that one of the marines told me to get into the warthog with my sister and we drove off to the ONI facility with me and my sister still hating the fact that our mom is dead but it was for a good cause and she loved us very much. She would be proud of me for what I did so would dad but I don't even know if he's dead so that's another story. But for now me and my sister are alive and that's all that matters.
