The day that some await, and the day that others dread...the annual Purge, the fourth, may i add. Every year, i fight out the purge my friends, Jackson, Phoenix, Brandon and Lucifer; pretty odd, having the devil's name, isn't it? Well, he DOES act like a Devil incarnate. Anyways, up until this point, everyone survived...well, except Jackson's sister, Jolene, who died last year...and it's most likely...my fault. Anyways, there's also my girlfriend, Aubrey. She's...pretty badass. She was nowhere close to being killed last year.

We're loading up our guns, checking our warehouse entrances and exits and distributing grenades and ammo; it's 6:57P.M.

Soon, the moment arrives where all we could here, is this:

This is not a test. This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of the Annual Purge sanctioned by the U.S. Government. Weapons of class 4 and lower have been authorized for use during the Purge. All other weapons are restricted. Government officials of ranking 10 have been granted immunity from the Purge and shall not be harmed. Commencing at the siren, any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours. Police, fire, and emergency medical services will be unavailable until tomorrow morning until 7 a.m., when The Purge concludes. Blessed be our New Founding Fathers and America, a nation reborn. May God be with you all.

Jackson and Brandon's job was to shoot whoever comes close to the warehouse and send in whoever they are most sure are refugees. Our rule is to only kill, the people that wants kill us. Phoenix, Lucifer and I would interrogate refugees and get them inside. In case anyone gets in from another entrance or the roof, it's our job to make sure they die. Aubrey is in charge of the equipment. Jackson and Brandon are already outside awaiting whoever dares to come our way. So are we, Phoenix, Lucifer and i, spread out in different parts of the warehouse,

MARCH 22ND, 6:55A.M.

"Finally! Just five more minutes, and we'll hear the siren, then Jack and Brandon can come back inside! " Phoenix exclaims. I nod my head in agreement, satisfied as we made it through with only a few cuts and scratches. "Good job, Drake. We made it again," Aubrey says as she hugs me tightly. i smiled, "We did, and we always will," i responded.

7:00A.M.

The siren...why can't we hear it...we can't end the purge if the siren doesn't play...what's happening? "Phoenix! Go out and ask Jack if they can at least hear the sirens in the distance!!" He nods and runs quickly to the main door. Seconds later, i hear a scream...i ran to the door...and then stood there in shock. Phoenix was being held tightly and was forced at gunpoint. Who was the potential murderer?

"Jackson!! What the hell are you doing?? Let him go!!"
