Project Zero

They got to the highway and Lemon got out, "Okay guys. See if you can find anything useful. Clothes, food, medical supplies."

"And if we can find some containers, we can siphon some gas out of these cars." Nighthawk said as he loaded his gun.

None of them noticed that there was someone watching them from inside of the trees. With a couple small breathes the sniper sighed, "I want to take them out."

"Don't, they aren't raiders." A voice replied on his comm.

"Then what do you recommend?" the sniper said as he kept his eye on Lemon Blitz.

There was a sigh from the comm, "Patience."

Lemon was digging through a car for supplies when he paused and popped his head out.

Nighthawk raised his head, "You okay Blitz?"

Lemon looked around, "Everyone get down!"

The sniper groaned and rolled his eyes, "Dang it, I've been spotted."

"stay cautious, I don't think it was you."

Nighthawk crawled over to Lemon, "What is it?"

"Something doesn't feel right."

Another barrel was pointing out in the distance. The sniper looked around and saw one of the creatures heading towards Twilight.

"Ah shoot!"

her comm sparked up, "I see it."

The sniper in the trees was looking right at the creature, but he couldn't get a clear shot, "I'll kill her if I take it."

The other sniper hesitated, "I think I can take it, but it won't end well."

"Take the shot then."

The sniper grinned, finger on the trigger, she closed her eyes and pulled.

Lemon kept hearing something and he turned towards Twilight. Suddenly, a creature appeared out of nowhere and was ready to tackled Twilight. A gunshot went off and blood began pouring from the creatures neck and from Twilight's shoulder. She jolted forward and fell from the shot. The creature immediately fell to the ground, and the girls ducked down. Lemon ran to Twilight and picked her up, "Twilight? Twilight look at me."

One of the snipers ran towards the group. He was in a black leather jacket, dark blue hair and had a scar on his left eye. "How bad is it?"

Lemon looked at the sniper, "I, I don't know."

"Then we better get her to camp. Follow me."

Nighthawk looked at Lemon and nodded.

"Ok, let's go."

The group got to a campsite with a couple other girls playing in a fire pit. One of them stood up when she saw the others. "Hold on, you said-"

One of the snipers replied back, "We have an injury."

The other one stood up and ran to a tent, "Set her down and i'll get to work."

Everyone got into the tent and set Twilight down, still shaken that Twilight was shot.

"If you want me to do this I need everyone to get out." One of the girls said.

Rainbow Dash shook her head in anger, "We stay in here together."

Nighthawk and Lemon sighed, "Come on girls." Nighthawk said, "Let's give her some space."

"Seriously? Lemon you can't let us leave her."

"I agree with Rainbow, Lemon. Who know's what she could do to her after getting shot by that sniper?"

Lemon looked back at Twilight, "Let the medic do her job in peace. She could be Twilight's only hope."

The group sighed and began walking out of the tent. Lemon knelt down and grabbed Twilight's hand, "You'll be okay. I promise."
