I wrote this story in another thread, I just pulled it right out of my head when I wrote it, but it became more than that XD but then I figured I should also share it here 😛George, a Locust drone who was lost in a riot as a Locust baby, so he set out on an adventure and found the surface in a rain forest, where he was raised by turtles.
As a child he was fascinated by humanity and wanted to be friends with them one day. He grew up, and enlisted in the COG eight years before E-Day. He trained as a ground gear, and fought with his new human friends like he had always dreamed.
He was happy with the humans, and they accepted him, it was all he ever wanted and wouldn't change a thing about his life for anything. He had a best friend in the COG named Harry, they went through a lot together in their squad, and helped each other in life or death situations.
George couldn't have possibly comprehended the idea of a better friend than Harry. It was a great life, and although George didn't know what he was, he and all of his friends considered him human and loved him just as much as one of them, and George was content with every moment of his life.
On George's 8th year of service he was allowed 3 months leave to see family, so he decided to visit the turtles that raised him up. He traveled back across the world to the islands where the rainforest was, and enjoyed his time spent with the turtles. Meanwhile, in the middle of George's break, E-day happened, and he didn't know.
Two months after E-day, George came back, and the first person he wanted to see was his best friend, Harry. It being 12 PM, Harry was always at the same spot every day at that time, a tree that George and Harry always spent time to talk to each other by. So George went there first, confident that he'd be there again. Once he got there, he saw Harry, but not Harry as he normally was. He was crying, kneeling, rifle in hand, just crying. This upset George, so he went to go see what was wrong.
He placed his hand on Harry's shoulder, and Harry turned around in shock. "Get away from me!" Harry screamed, punching George in the face and crawling backward in fear. George was confused and upset, he didn't know what was wrong, and so he shed a tear.
"What's wrong, Harry?" George cried, more tears rolling down his face. "You bastard! You're going to pay for my squad!" Harry shouted, aimed his rifle at George's legs and shot them both. George fell to the ground, not knowing what to think. He had never experienced betrayal, or sadness before, and so he simply laid on the ground and cried while his legs bled. His vision was getting hazy, he turned his head to see five men armed with the rifle that he was oh so familiar with aimed at him.
In a moment, which to George, felt like an hour, they opened fire on him. Dozens of bullets per second ripped through his flesh, he could feel his organs being destroyed and his lungs filling with blood. He saw only 5 faint images now walking away, they were all blurred by George's tears. He soon bled to death, and had experienced cruelty for the first and last time in his life.
