BRAGR) New Rules

When I woke the next day, I found Angel still sound asleep next to me, hugging my arm. The girl was a real trooper. Even with the sounds of bombs going off, the sounds of monsters roaring, and even with the sounds of people crying and clawing at the barrier outside, she still fell asleep.

After our little talk she seemed to have calmed down quite a bit. She even stayed to watch the massacre outside the barrier. Even as blood began to flow like a small river, she watched the scene, never taking her eyes off it for a moment.

“Mmm… barbecue ribs… Hmmm? Where are my ribs?” Said girl must have been having a wonderful dream, and now I was hungry.

“Are you awake?” I asked, poking her in her forehead. She blushed and nodded meekly. “Good, then let’s take a quick shower while we still can.”

“Okay~” Angel sat up and stretched before turning and giving me a kiss on the cheek. “Don’t worry. I am not as weak minded as you think.”

“I know.” I smiled and pulled her back down, causing her to squeal.

After playing around for another half an hour, we finally got up and took a shower. Only when we were fully freshened up did we make our way to the dining room. “Master, strange noises were coming from your…”

“Hilde shut it before I send you back.” I stopped her before she could finish. Angel’s face turned bright red. But I kept my cool. At least, I think. “Mati how are things outside?”

“The number of people who have come to the barrier has increased. The soldiers who have asked to enter have been granted access as long as they were willing to submit to you. But I fear it will be hard to open the barrier again. Even with Hilde and I standing there unless we cut them all down they will charge in when we open the barrier for the soldiers.” Mati had a good point.

Right now, this entire barrier had been surrounded by the military. They had decided to make their base camp here, which was much different from what I remember from my dreams. They had begun setting up last night before I went to bed.

I thought for a moment before walking to the window and looking outside. “For now we will, keep the barrier closed. Once I finish breakfast, Angel and I will go to the barrier and give a speech.”

I turned and looked at Angel, and as if she was reading my mind, she gave me an assured nod. It seemed she understood what I was planning to do.

An hour later, Angel and I, followed by Hilde and Mati, made our way to the barrier where the most military build-up was. We exited the barrier and closed it behind us. “Miss Zoe!” I turned to see a young man in military uniform run over to me.

“You know me?” I asked, a bit confused. I mean I did not announce who I was to anyone except for on TV once or twice. Was I really that memorable?

“Of course, I do! I to not think there is a single person here in my unit who does not know you as Miss Angel! Ah right! Where are my manners. My name is Thomas.” The soldier seemed a little too excited to me.

“Alright then, do me a favor and gather all your people here. I want to make an announcement.” I decided to make use of this, Thomas.

“And what right do you have to order my men around?” Hearing the familiar voice made me frown. I turned to see a blonde-haired man, now with a huge scar across his face, walking over.

“Oh its Mr. Dickhead. Didn’t expect to see you still alive. Still trying to order me around huh? Do you realize that I no longer give two shits about laws? So open your mouth once and say the wrong thing and I will cut your head off.” I snorted and turned back to Thomas. “Go do as I said. There is no time to waste.”

“Yes!” Thomas turned and went to follow my orders, only for me to hear a gunshot and blood spray from Thomas’ head. I watched as the young man’s body fell forward and landed face-first. Blood flowed from the fresh wound, puddling around his head.

“Angel.” I only said one word before Angel ran past me and said: “On it!”

I then turned to Davis, who was standing there with a pistol in his hand, pointing it at me. “There are two things I fucking hate in this world.” I began as I pulled out my sword. “One is brussel sprouts. They are bitter and are normally served in vinegar making them even more bitter. And second, dipshits like you who think they are god. Who the fuck gave you the right to shoot that man on my territory?”

“Heh… This is my platoon and we have already taken this area over for military purposes. As a citizen of the United States you need to give up the land whether you want to or not. If one of my men during times like this disobeys my orders they are considered traitors and will be dealt with on the spot. So what I do with my men is none of your business.” Davis seemed very cocky for a dipshit.

I tapped my sword on my shoulder, and with a smile on my face, I said: “I see. Then I will teach you the new rules of the apocalypse here and now.”
