Chapter 1
"Well well well, what do we have here?"

"Who is he? Where did you find him? What do we do?"

"You ask too many questions, but I know one thing that we do to people like him."


 * Gun cocks*

"You are nothing but one filthy American, time for you to die!"


 * BANG*


 * Gasp*

It was about 7 AM in the morning when I woke up from the bunk beds in the barracks. I had just experienced another dream, those that had started ever since I turned 13. It was strange though, I never experienced any of this. Why am I having dreams like these? What was that term used to refer to me? I do not know, but at least I didn't crap my pants. I never had, I never will. I got up and went to the bathroom to shower and brush my teeth. It was about 30 minutes of me doing my thing until one of the Drill Sergeants came inside the barracks. I was dressing up into my combat outfit when he came in. He talked to me in an unusually calm voice. Generally when he talks to the recruits here, myself included, his voice was always in a strict, commanding tone.

"Hey Browning, you're needed in the briefing room. Finish getting dressed and report there ASAP, understood?"

"Yes Sir!"

He left the barracks in a jogging pace. Strange, I never get called into the briefing room except for the debriefings on our training progress. Today was not the day to check up on our progress. I just shrugged it off and finished putting on my combat uniform. I then went to the armory to obtain my weapons. The girl over there greeted me with a warm smile.

"Hey Browning! Up early again?"

"Yeah, just had another bad dream again. What about you Stones?"

"Everything's Jake!"

I went inside the armory locker rooms to access my locker and gather up Peacekeeper and Enforcer. I found my locker and turned the combination dial to open it up. As I was doing so, another recruit walked in and saw me. She started the conversation with a curious tone.

"Sup Browning, were you called into the briefing room also?"

"Yep, they called you in too Woods?

"Uh huh. Along with Rojas and Ashton."

Olivia Woods is a cute girl who is a tiny bit shorter than me, athletic, has fair skin, green eyes, and brunette hair. Like me, she is one of the recruits who started training at a young age, came from a military family and aspires to become a Hunter to protect people from Grimm. You're probably wondering why we're here in Fort Vale getting military training? Well, let me give you the shortest answer possible: it's to give us an advantage in combat academies. Anyways, Woods and I got our weapons, went outside, and headed to the briefing room together. As we were heading there, Rojas and Ashton were running to catch up with us.

"Browning! Woods! Wait up!" Yelled Rojas.

"Don't Start without us!" Followed up Ashton.

We stopped for a moment for the pair to catch up with us. Ruben Rojas is a friend of mine who attended public school with me. He is a shorter guy who is about 5'6" feet, has an average build, has dark brown skin, brown eyes, and black hair. Kalyn Ashton is a quirky girl who is always seen by Rojas' side. I would always think that the two of them are dating. Funny thing is that they are, but taking it slow. Ashton is about the same height as Rojas, has an average build, has fair skin, grayish eyes, and dirty blonde hair. About a minute later, they finally caught up. They weren't panting hard, but it was their workout of the day.

"So, the 4 of us have been called in to report to the briefing room huh?" I asked.

"I guess it looks that way. Wonder what they need the 4 of us specifically for?" Rojas responded.

"Well, we have been working together a lot lately. They probably need us for something." Woods stated.

"I have a bad feeling about this, they're not sending us to war are they?" Questioned Ashton.

"Of course not! We are being trained and can be sent on small missions, but never off to war!" I ensured.

"But what if we are?" Replied Ashton.

"That... War... it was years ago, when we were still in elementary school. There shouldn't be any more after that." I pledged.

Ashton calmed down a bit, but she still kept a scared look on her face. I was starting to feel it too, but there was only one way to find out. We all took a deep breath and walked to the briefing room. As we walked inside the room, we were greeted by a few Non-Commissioned Officers, Captain Winters, and Colonel Hayes. Colonel Hayes spoke out to the 4 of us.

"Glad to see that all of you made it here for briefing. Please, be seated."
