Video/Audio log: "Well, i guess we've all been VERY bad boys and girls because Santa has given us this lovely gift, THE FREAKIN APOCALYPSE!!!! *momentary pause and silence* Sorry, Jake Summers here and it's been a rough 3 days since i last spoke into this thing. On the 22nd i got to city of Moshannon Pennsylvania and man the place was in utter chaos. Luckily thru all the confusion i was able to get some supplies, and gear as well as a spare weapon and a change of clothes (man is this water cold!!!!!) . (i check the gun i had, kept jamming as i tried it out without the clip in of course.) Only thing to really talk about is that as i was on my out of town i saw a bunch of people ganging up on this kid and her i guess sister? Well, the kid's skin was jet black and the woman with him had black hair with i guess silver streaks. Seems that they thought they were some kinda monster or something. Well as much as i wanted to just turn and walk away, i don't like 20-1 odds and a can't stand bullies. I head toward them and as i do, this.... i dunno, hole opens up in mid air right between them and a bunch of these tall ugly things pop out and start attacking everyone. I don't know how to describe them, other than them being nearly 8-9ft tall with pointy teeth and some of them i swear looks like they have bionic parts. Not all in the same place and some have multiples. Well they start tearing into the townsfolk and as one came toward me i look at i freak out, i put up my hand telling it to stop and all of a sudden this...bolt i guess you could call it shoots out from me and hits it. It staggers before it recovers and then the boy and the woman tag team on it. The kid has some weird shadowy power and the woman starts glowing and wings pop out of her back and sliced off it's arm, Well it runs away and then we decide to do the same. Those things were on us in minutes but the woman grabs the kid and flies away. I start running and i tried to hold it off, but bullets bounce right off them. I think i'm going to die, then my head starts pounding and as i fight this shimmering light forms in my hand and i swear that it looks like a sword. No lie and even more it hurts these things, si i start hacking away and take down 2 of them, before i start getting exhausted, but luckily my angel comes back and swoops down and picks me up. She can't fly too long as she says all this falling ash is getting to her (seems i was right about this not stopping anytime soon), but we got far. She does seem to fly fast. We get to the Ohio border in a few hours, but she wanted to avoid attention as much as possible. Well, she tells me that her name is Sera, short for Seraph. And the kid's name is Nightshade. She explains that a long time ago, Humans with aberrations were hunted and killed just because they were different. Mutants she calls them. Eventually humanity thought they were extinct and left it at that, but some survived by forming an "underground" society. They lived all on their own and the more "passable ones" according to her were left to do trading and get supplies when necessary. It was like something out of a sci-fi vid-book, but then again so's all this. When the wave hit some people died. They tried to go west undetected, but were found out when they used their abilities to help the town, well, they showed their appreciation and killed most of them. they were the last two left until those monsters appeared out of nowhere and attacked. She would have left me until she saw me use my abilities. Sera is now looking after 'shade (gotta come up with a more human name, but sera explains those were the names given to her by the elders of her group and i need her assistance now with this going on.) and we've been trying to just go somewhere to hold up till we figure out where to go. The blue lights are everywhere and i saw why while i was in the air. There are blue walls pulsing with some kind of energy and they're huge! Seems that they go by a few places, but not everywhere. Still, it's been interesting (and sera is so beautiful, man you have NO idea....) There seems to be something going on west of us, so we're heading there. We're mostly walking so we don't attract any attention. I'm still practicing my mind abilities and seem to be getting real good at it. I'll talk more if we find anything."
