If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 3

As her character falls, she tapped her left fingers on the netbooks base panel. She was waiting to press the ‘accelerate’ button for fast drop, downwards. Her character was in a free falling status.

In terms of angle, she continued facing north with her targeted location of where she wanted to drop her character off.

She opened her mouth and began counting numbers from eight, with a silent voice.

“. . .”

As she nearly reached three, she mumbled out the words, “Three. . .Two. . .One.”

Using her right hand, she pressed the acceleration control using her mouse. Her characters’ body speeded down. When she was halfway near the top of a abandoned building, she pressed spacebar to open her parachute.

Her characters body swayed with the parachute, she adjusted its position a couple of times from left to right , slowly. Until she hit the ground. However, when she landed her loot radar broked.

It was not a perfect landing.

Then her squads profile located at the left corner blinks again like before as they open their mic.

GunChaser: “Oh right, by the way Rage what are your plans after November?”

She smiled sourly in front of her netbook as she heard the question.

BattleAxeEmpress: ” I bet she will confess her love under a mistle toe, while snow flakes fall. It will be a romantic scene.”

GunChaser: “She? Have you forgot Rages deep voice? Rage is a he.”

She tried to ignore thinking what she would do after November. Gladly, GunChaser shifted the topic after they went silent again for a second.

GunChaser: “Anyway aside from Rage, how about you Empress? What are your plans?”

BattleAxeEmpress: “My plans? Well, I wanted to confess something. . it means what ever I say now, just leave it here. Do not tell any one else about it. I will trust you on this one guys.”

She was just currently listening to what her squad was saying at the same time. While she proceeded on letting her character head towards the ‘Adens Creek’. She has to grab a rifle, coins, medi kits and even a basic level one backpack?

GunChaser: “We are family here, you can say what ever you want. Besides I would not even remember what you said afterwards. Since I also have different thoughts of my own.”

RoadKillerRifle : *breathing on his mic*. . .

BattleAxeEmpress: “I have some one I like, but, I can not stay happy while my father is hurting. He would not be home after November. My mother died on December twenty forth. So technically, I will be home –alone.”

RoadKillerRifle: “Chase, you are a bad, insensitive man.”

BattleAxeEmpress: “Nah, do not blame him. I just wanted to speak up for my own selfish reason.”

GunChaser: “See, we four have been together for nearly one year already. We even use our dummy accounts just for fun, and still here we are intact, like a family. And RK you can not just say I am bad and insensitive, I just did not know what she has been through until now.”

She then noticed a glowing pistol as she jumped by pressing spacebar. There were considerable cottages on the location but she only entered one and her eyes twinkled as soon as she saw her favorite stickered skin on a G18 pistol.

RoadKillerRifle: “Yeah. Sure. If you say that then I am good with it.”

BattleAxeEmpress: “Guys, I found a motorbike!”

GunChaser: “How about we race later? Let me grab that Monster Truck first.”

RoadKillerRifle: “No one can beat me with my Tuk-tuk.”

She can not stop herself. She laughed silently as she heard what RK said.

GunChaser: “I assumed that Rage will take his Lamborghini.”

They must have expected for her to open mic. However, the also know that she does not talk much in game nor on discord.

They only heard her voice twice and she uses the male deep voice changer. And no one knew it. So her squad can not tell if she was a he or he was a she. Even her character was a woman, she could pick and change it into a man because of the free fire Cards.

But since gender was not that important for them and it was not appropriate to disrespect a person for it, they just change topic directly to forget about it.

Then shortly, she heard a footsteps coming from a distance. As she change her direction of running away from ‘Adens Creek’ she saw an enemy jumping out from the window of a cottage.

“Hunting time.” She whispered and she became a different person in front of her netbook. She slightly smiled and it seems to teeter on the edge of a loud cackle with her eyes dancing with thrill as she observed her enemy.

She crouched, waiting. . .

“Come on, get on the point.” She commanded as if the enemy heard her. And when it stepped on the point were she anticipated, she run forward, aiming her pistol on the target and shoot.

[Headshot]

[DeadByGuns has been killed by RagingLightSpeed]

Her characters hair swiftly swayed as it stands.

The enemy’s body slowly fades away.

“G18 you are a badass.” She complimented the pistol and then she resumed her character on moving forward by sprinting, leading the way to the ‘Clock Tower’.

BattleAxeEmpress: “You killed Guns. .”

RoadKillerRifle: “Rage, beware. If you have time you can search about DeadByGuns background. Try the free fire forum. But I will say this again, beware.”

She does not know what was happening, it was not like it was her first time to shoot some one with a pistol. Besides, that was the main goal of free fire, to shoot and kill others. So what was the big deal with it?

She shrugged off the thoughts and did a short exercise for her neck until she hear a cracking sound.

She then glanced away from the netbook screen and looked at the hanging calendar on her wall, “December twenty fifth.” She said.

“I did not know it is the twenty fifth, today..” She then inhaled some air.
