I haven't written any fiction in a long time and I figured since I am on this site and so many of you are writing fan fiction that I might as well give it a try. This is the first part of what will probably be a short story (around 7-10 pages). I'll upload the parts as they are written. I don't know much about the lore of Halo so you guys will have to cut me some slack. But I'll take any criticism or suggestions that you may have.
The story involves my favorite character from the first Halo. It takes place at the very end of Halo after her Pelican is shot down by the Covenant.
Foe Hammers Song
Chapter 1???
I didn’t think today would be the day that I would die. At least it’s not to those damn zombie things. Though these covenant scum aren't much better. God I hope the chief makes it. It would be a damn shame if he didn’t. After I went through all of that effort. I had to take a god damn Pelican underground, UNDERGROUND seriously that is ridiculous. Man I was good, I mean really good. The way I see it, it wouldn’t be stretch to say that I was the best damn pilot in the whole UNSC.
…..Look at me this is pathetic. I am pathetic….. already talking about myself in the past tense like this. I guess it makes sense though it takes a strong person to accept your fate, especially when it’s as grim as mine. I am dying and pretty soon will be dead. I wouldn’t have to die if it wasn’t for Frye using up all of the damn supplies. I guess he needed though he was bleeding bad. When everyone else left he stayed with me. He was a great co-pilot… too bad he was such an ***.
Dying right now isn't too bad I guess..... I got a good thirty four years in. Plus I should get a lovely memorial service. Maybe they’ll name a charity after me, or even a Pelican, maybe a statue. The Pelican would be best though… it seems the most appropriate at least.
Wait… oh damn what was that noise! Oh it’s just one of the little ones. Chief called them Grunts I could probably take him, I still have my pistol. I always though the assault rifle looked stupid...... But I bet it would be pretty useful right now.
….. It looks like he’s gone now. Is it even a he… do they even have genders… Why do I even care?…. Can’t I just die already?
I could just shoot myself now but I can’t seem to bring myself to do it. It probably wouldn’t hurt too much and even if it did, it wouldn’t be for very long.
……….. Maybe I’m not in as bad a shape as I think I am. It could all just be in my head. Let me try standing up…… ****…. Okay that doesn’t work. Maybe Chief will come save me?… nah I’m not important enough he has much better things to do. In fact he’s probably dead.
I thought your life was supposed to flash before your eyes. This is bull**** serious bull**** I shouldn’t have to sit here and die without having anything nice to remember. Are my last thoughts really going to be of this miserable place. I can’t see the sun so I wonder what’s creating the heat and light. Come to think of it I don’t even know what time it is or how long I've been here……. I don’t even get the luxury of knowing the hour of my demise. It won’t matter much when I’m dead though… at least I don’t think so.
Come on life start flashing…… come on already….. urghhhhhh….. Its pointless I guess that isn’t going to work. I’m going to have to do this a different way. Let’s see where was I born…..
