Jewlet took off her hood and came out of hiding. She put her hands under her hair and let it out. "What a pain." She sighed mad at herself. She pulled out sunscreen and put it on. She dusted off her jacket the best she could and then dusted her boots.
Reaching up she yawned. "I need to stop that." She popped her fingers and then her neck. She started to walk with her hands behind her head.

Connor slid his calloused hands into his pockets as he walked, his lips set in firmly in a thin line. Sharp but empty golden orbs gazed forward without any regard for anyone else. The voices of others in the caravan went through one ear and out the other, as he cared not for them, only her. Everything had dulled for him since her death, his own life having dwindled down to mindlessly wandering about. Even with her gone, he still felt her near. Maybe in heaven, maybe as a wandering soul, or maybe just in his heart. He did not know and did not particularly care. Her presence was there and that was all that mattered.
Connor's stomach growled in need of food, but he disregarded it. He simply walked on, feeling no degree of emotion toward his current job which consisted of guarding the caravan. All he had for a weapon at the moment was his Beretta handgun and his fists, but that was all he really needed. Until he came across a quiality sniper rifle, he'd make due. And so, he continued on whilst paying minimal attention to those around him, only speaking when spoken to.

Dimitri walked ahead of the caravan with another mercenary, acting as scouts. The other guys was trying too get Dimitri too talk. "So, how long you been a merc?."...", "what's your name?","...", "can you even talk?", "...", "you know what...screw you, I tried being nice...". The guy seemed rather pissed off. Dimitri smirked slightly as he looked away from the guy, Dimitri didn't talk because that wasn't part of the job, His job was to escort thios caravan safely from point A to point B. The sun was hot but Dimitri had grown used too it, over his usual camo he wore a ragged cloth cloak that's tail blew whenever the wind picked up. He wore a light cloth hat that cast a shadow over his eyes .

(Sorry I took so long to get a post in myself. XD Anyway, I'd say we got enough people, so let's progress the plot a little.)
The air grew extremely quiet. Even through all the talking, Alaric could feel himself start to panic. If the man next to him responded to his question, he didn't hear. Only his heartbeat was present.
"Ambush!" a voice screamed from behind him, panicked. Gunfire erupted throughout the area, and people started to scatter. The old rusted vehicles that carried the cargo drifted through the sand, some flipping over. The ones that did were used as cover.
"Get into formation!" a man shouted authoritatively. He must have been the commander of the mercenary unit, Alaric realized. Funny he had never spoken to him in person.
Unfortunately, he would never get the chance to. With a high-pitched whiz, a trail of light flew past the group, striking the man in the head. He fell limp to the ground. The carnage was incredible. Sniper rifle, Alaric deduced. He dove behind a car, bringing his rifle up. Who was attacking them...?

At the sound of gunfire Dimitri dropped onto his stomach as a round zipped past him and slammed into the other guy, Dimitri kept very still like a corpse then began to crawl moving ever so slowly to avoid being spotted by the attackers, he made his way over a dune and a couple doven feet away lay a man with a semi automatic rifle, firing on the convoy. Dimitri took out his knife and flipped it open, the man never saw or heard anything. Dimitri snuck up behind him, Dimitri waited for the guy too start reloading. "...Oi, Suzy"((100 gold if someone can tell me the game and character who said this)) The guy turned, Dimitri lept stabbing the man in the jugglair with his knife well coverin his mouth to prevent anyone nearby hearing the man as he died. Dimitri tossed the body into the sand, he wiped the blade clean on the man's clothing then put it away, he took his Assult rifle off his back and kept moving along the ridge to find more shooters.

Jewlet looked around. "What!" She flipped her skirt up and pulled her guns out. She took cover beind a flipped over vehicle. She pulled on her hood and looked over the vehicle. "Great."
She placed her old army bag on the ground. She pulled out her butterfly knife and opened it. She locked it in place and placed the knife in her right empty gun holder.

All traces of emotion and thought drained from Connor's face, his hand instinctively pulling his handgun from it's holster. Just as the shot flew overhead, he dived behind an overturned vehicle, setting his back against the metal and breathing evenly. Flipping off the safety for his weapon, he dropped to a prone position and peeked around the corner. His well-trained gaze spotted a faint black dot in the distance, barely peeking over the edge of a small sand dune. Sunlight glistened off the barrel of the enemy's sniper rifle to prove Connor's suspicions.
Pointing his gun toward the sky, he surveyed his options. That sniper needs to be taken care of or we're all dead. Another flipped vehicle was nearby, out of sight of where the sniper seemed to be surveying at the moment. Assessing the situation quickly, Connor developed a brief plan of attack. He swiftly stood into a crouch and sprinted toward the back of the other overturned vehicle, ducking low all the while. Peeking around the corner yet again, he confirmed that the enemy sniper still had his sights locked onto the other vehicle. This was the time to act. Connor quickly jumped to his feet and dashed to the right, circling around to end up about fifteen feet behind the sniper. He aimed for a few seconds and fired; Straight shot into the back of his skull. As the body fell limp before him, Connor looked about to make sure no other enemy soldiers were in the same area. With confirmation, he fell to a prone position once again and crawled to the body, holstering his own gun and gripping the rifle. Nice. His lips quirked ever so slightly.

Raiders... Alaric thought. He despised them. This was why they were hired, he knew, but still... How did they catch them by surprise? In an area like this, he was sure they would have seen an ambush group... There was nothing to hide near.
Alaric popped out from behind the car, firing a few rounds from his rifle, pulling back the slider after each shot to release the spent cartridges. He didn't know if he was hitting his marks, but he knew that they were going down one way or the other.
Unfortunately, they didn't seem to stop. More came as the caravan lost more people, it seemed. They were well equipped, too... He could almost swear he saw a laser beam form near him. He thought only the Brotherhood of Steel had access to that sort of technology, but it seemed he was wrong.
People started panicking, running... Maybe it was the best idea here. Some of them were gunned down immediately, but he knew there was no chance of winning here. Alaric slung the rifle on his back before preparing for his retreat... This battle wasn't worth throwing his life away over.
Hopefully others would do the same... He didn't know if anyone would survive any other way.

Jewlet spotted a man coming closer under cover. She laughed under her breath. "You can't hide from my eyes..." She took aim and fired four rounds off. "Got ya." She saw blood on the sand.
Then there was shoots fired at her. She ducked down and cursed under her breath. Gritting her teeth she stood up and fired at the guys shooting at her. Her hood came off. "Thats the theff!"
Jewlet ducked down again. "Flip. I know them." She fired at them from the side of the turned over vehicle. I've got to get out of here. She looked around trying to find anything that could help her.

Dimitri stopped, He saw what looked like a laser. That can't be right...could it? He questioned himself, but either way, that laser was attacking the convoy so it had too go, one way or anotyher, the problem was the guy weilding it was guarded, Dimitri ducked over too the other side of the dune and produced a HE (high explosives) grenade from his vest, his last one; He pulled the pin counted too three then tossed it, the grenade landed at the foot of the laser weilder, who looked down. "SON OF A" Explosion, Dimitri got up and ran, gun fire erupted around him, a round caught him in the leg. S*** he cursed in his head, He ducked around behind an over turned truck to catch his breath.

"Ah, for the love of..." Alaric said under his breath as he watched the battle. Why did they keep fighting? The battle was lost... Would they really sacrifice themselves for a bit of cargo? Was it pride? Or did they just not realize how hopeless the situation was?
Alaric sprinted shortly, to the wounded man. He'd find out the answer to his question, hopefully.
"Here, c'mon," he said, offering him support by wrapping one of his arms around his shoulders. Hopefully that'd make it easier for him to walk. "Ready to go? I think we should retreat..."
He wouldn't try to persuade him to come if he wanted to stay, but it wasn't the best option for survival...

Jewlet kept on firing trying to keep them away from her, but one was coming around from the other side. Shr reloaded her guns and heard someone hit her bag. She turned around and found a shot gun at her head.
"Drop them." Jewlet frowned and put her guns down. "Stand up." She did as told. "Where is it?" She stared at the man and spat on him. "You little wrinch."
Jewlet smerked. "I don't know what your talking about." A bullet grazed her arm. She didn't look away. She put her finger on the gun and pushed out away from her face.
She used her other hand and grabbed her knife. With a quick move she cut his arm and kicked him. He fell down and she picked up her guns. "Say hello to the Devil for me." She shot him in the heart.

Jason picked up a rifle from a dead man muttering "I'll be needing this." and "Thanks bud." Then he saw the little girl he had helped earlier crying under what seemed to be her dead mother. "Motherf***er...." he cursed into the wind as he scanned the area for someone to shoot. Finding what he was looking for he took a deep breath leveled his sights and closed his eyes. Opening his eyes he pulled his trigger in the same instant and the man dropped dead with blood flowing from between his eyes. Looking for any immediate threats he decided it was time to act.
Sprinting towards the girl he saw another man come from behind a dune with his gun aimed at him. Rolling on the ground briefly he came up with his gun aimed on the man and with out a second thought shot him. Finally he got to the little girl and pryed her from her mothers lifeless death grip. "Come on sweetie we need to get you to safety." he said to the tear stained young face. "What about mommy and daddy?" she asked while looking up at him. "They just need to take a rest right now they asked me to get you away from here." she slowly let go of her mother and he picked her up and threw her across his shoulder. "Alright hold on tight sweetie, I'm going to get you to a safer location so that I can try to find some help." He felt terrible about lying to the little girl but he didn't need her to struggle.
Jason ran to another overturned vehicle and saw a man trying to help another get up and leave from the looks of it. He quickly directed himself and the girl towards them. "Are you planning on getting out of here too?" he asked the man trying to lift the other.

Connor kept his position on the small dune, and slowly began to pick off enemy soldiers, lasting a good twenty seconds without being detected. Unfortunately, when he was detected, two enemy soldiers began to fire on him with assault rifles. Three bullets hit him; one in his right shoulder, another in his right bicep, and another that clipped the cartalidge of his ear. This did not faze him in the slightest. The only sign he showed of taking notice to these slight injuries was a slight twitch in his brow.
He swiftly took each of them out with shots to the head and chest, paying no mind to the thin line of blood running down his ear. After all, it felt no different from the beads of sweat streaming down his face and arms.
