Falling Together
Rosabella, a beautiful rose. That’s what this town was famous for. Now its just mass destruction.
Ivory sat in the mud waiting, waiting for anything. He looked across the way to see the other three, KoJo, Jeeth and Xavier. They had to stick together in this war. Ivory had to be the leader, he can’t afford to fail.
“Psst, Hey Ivory” Jeeth whispered.
“Shhh. You want us dead?” Ivory whispered back
“Just saying maybe we should leave. No one is here”
“No, I was told to stay here and wait. That’s what we’re going to do”
“Yeah just suck it up Jeeth” KoJo whispered
“He just wants to get back to camp to look-” Xavier got cut off.
“All of you shut up!” Ivory yelled
Ivory’s voice echoed through the whole forest. Birds flapped away from the noise that disturbed their peace.
Jeeth stood up. “See no one is here”
KoJo and Xavier stood up. Ivory got up carefully and looked around.
“For once I think Jeeth is right” KoJo said
“Yeah, wow” Xavier said
Jeeth gave them a dirty look and picked up his pack. “Well lets head back”
“I guess but we were supposed to find their hideout”
“If we don’t Halstein will be pissed” Xavier said
“Yeah and I sure don’t want to wash everyone’s clothes again” KoJo said
Jeeth laughed. “Yeah that was gross!”
While the four were talking, there was rustling around them. Something was surrounding them and ready to fire. Suddenly a bullet cut threw the silence and hit Jeeth in the arm.
“Ah!” Jeeth screamed.
“Everyone down!” Ivory yelled
They all fell to the ground and rolled by some boulders. Ivory and Xavier pulled their guns out and began firing. KoJo examined Jeeth’s wound.
“Where are they coming from!” yelled Xavier
“It looks like from everywhere” Ivory yelled back.
“Damn! Why does this happen to me!” Jeeth shouted
“You’ll be okay. Its not that bad” KoJo said.
Then there was silence. The shooting was gone and nothing made a sound. Ivory looked around but there was nothing.
“Did we win?” Jeeth asked
“I, I think so” Ivory said
From above a net fell onto them. The net seemed to come alive and fit perfectly around the four boys. They were all huddled together looking around frantically.
In front of them a group of men appeared. They just appeared out of no where, like they were invisible.
“Take them” said a tall built man with broad shoulders.
An enemy solider nodded and walked to Ivory, KoJo, Jeeth and Xavier. The four looked up but said nothing. The soldier’s face was hidden but his eyes showed the enjoyment. With the butt of his gun he smashed it to each of the helpless boys. They quickly became unconscious.
The man smiled and smelled a red rose.
