"Sam, where are you?" Zach's voice becoming distant every second that goes by. "Why did you leave me...Can't you see they're surrounding me? You left me!" Piercing screams resounding around the area, as Sam tries to talk to Zach. "No! I didn't leave you, I'll find you Zach I promise!"
"That's what you always say..." His voice disappearing into an empty abyss. "Zach!"
Screaming his name as he jumped up from a certain white bed following in a contained area. Realising that it was a nightmare, Sam couldn't help but cry once more as he had woken up to being alone.
"Now, how about we have a talk with what you want to do now Sam?" Noticing the voice had come outside the room he had been staying in, he nodded thinking that would get their attention. Just as he thought, a figure in a black suit with a suitcase came walking to him. "Good Evening Mr. Heart. I hope you're feeling well. My name is Alfarez, and I'm here to discuss your future path as we have noticed your certain potential in this upcoming event."
"We have two proposals for you to think about, they'll both benefit you and us with whichever you decide to proceed with." As the man was talking, he started to open his suitcase revealing two contracts. "Take your time as you go through them, we'll expect an answer this afternoon." Without waiting for Sam to reply, Alfarez stood up and walked out of the room.
Sam mentally nodding to the figure as he watched the man leave, he readjusted his eyes to start scanning through the two contracts in front of him.
[ Sam Heart | 17 | 5'10" |
1/2 Proposed : Sam Heart to be enlisted to the now made Ancestor Corp as of today. He will begin to hunt down Ancestors only until there preceded to be no more Ancestors in his Country. He will be given income based on merit from killed num...
2/2 Proposed : Sam Heart will stay in base as an assistant, until area is secure and safe to live amiably for the citizens. He will not disclose any information coming from the base, or else be sentenced to prosecution... ]
After just gaining a brief understanding of the contracts given, Sam couldn't help but feel shocked as he never expected to be given terms like this ever in this life. He had started thinking that he'd have to find a way around the military if he wanted to ever find his brother in the future. Now that he was given an opportunity like this, it was obvious what he was going to choose.
Several hours later, the door to his room had opened and two men had come into his room. The man next to Alfarez was most likely the soldier who had rescued him when he was injured back at the store.
"I'm sure you must've remembered him back at the store, he is Vice Com. James and he'll be the one in charge of the Ancestor Corp. here at base. So Sam, have you made your decision?" Looking at Sam with his nonchalant eyes waiting for an answer. But when he looked into Sam's eyes, he couldn't help but feel like a predator had just latched onto its prey.
"Before I give you my answer, I would want to know this. Why would you offer such a contract to me in the first place? I'm very sure that you have looked through my background, and are well aware that I'm indeed normal amongst the variety of citizens here."
Seeing him ask such a question, Alfarez couldn't help but reveal a curled lip every second. "As you asked, we only chose you because you were willing to go up an Ancestor. Don't misunderstand, we didn't pick you because you're special or anything, actually you're very average. But if you excel in the Ancestor Corp, we'll undeniably be happy and reward you. The second contract is just a precautionary measure, I hope you understand."
Trying to see if there would be anything wrong with the mans words, Sam took some time to process it. But at the end, he didn't see anything wrong with his words, so he voiced out his answer.
"I'll sign the first contract. I want to hunt the Ancestors down, while finding my brother."
"Very well then Private Heart, VC James will show you to your tent and explain to you everything that you'll need to know. Looks like we now have a new ally helping us figure out what truly is going on in here..." With Sam signing the contract, the three men stood up and shook one another's hands. Now all Sam could think was he was now one step closer to looking for Zach.

UN Conference Hall
"...so could the following UN Secretary please give as follow up statistic of how our plan is following through?" The UN Head had asked, while the several tens of representatives started to stare at a figure beginning to stand up.
"Good Afternoon Everyone, regarding the plan which has been followed by the majority of countries, we have now gathered a thorough understanding of our situation right now. As per plan, most of the countries have been able to hold down the Ancestors, while a few could push them back. But as I said most, there are several countries that had been lost to the Ancestors and their governments now either destroyed or null." The UN Secretary had spoken in a unemotional tone to the hall of representatives, but hidden was fear in her eyes.
"The countries who had fallen were as followed: Egypt, Norway, New Zealand, Kazakhstan, and... North Korea."
"What?" Everyone had understood the reason why the few countries had fallen, was due to either low population to fight against the increasing Ancestors, or to some strange weapon that they had been used against. But they had never expected North Korea, the country who focuses on their army and discipline to be wiped out of the map.
"We do not have full understanding to why these countries have fallen, but regarding North Korea, it is said that the Ancestors there had capabilities to nullify projectile attacks..."
As these words came had come out utter shock and fear was all that could be known throughout the hall of UN representatives. "All we can do is focus on clearing out the ones in our own homes. We can talk about that later. Everyone Dismissed." The UN Head had commanded.
