He looked up at me, the fire illuminating his features. 

"I know what you're going to ask," I said. 

"Oh?" Luka said back, raising an eyebrow at me. 

"Yes, what you saw back there wasn't a trick of the light and if you tell anybody I will rip your throat out," I growled. 

"Surprisingly, that wasn't what I was going to ask but anyway you do? How is this possible?" He leaned forward. 

"I don't know, I was crea- born in a government research facility," 

Luka looked a bit shocked. 

" A GRF? Aren't those where they torture test subjects just to gather information and shit?"

"Don't rub it in," I scratched my arm, feeling the memories again. The pain was almost unbearable.

"Sorry......"

An awkward silence settled between us.

"How much longer until we reach your base?" I asked him, breaking the silence.

"About a half a day,"

"I thought you said it wasn't far away?"

"Saying that makes it seem less enticing,"

"True," I smiled at him. 

We sat in silence before I rolled my tarp out and laid down. He leaned against the wall, looking up at the sky. I sighed, closing my eyes, thinking about the journey ahead of us.
