When our normal adolescent lives are destroyed by a sudden war, we are forced to run and question everything we ever took for granted. Underestimating the part we are to play in this battle, how well can we survive the challenges we are about to face?

SURVIVAL

The artillery took some time to be prepared, and in the meantime, the boss asked Jace, Ryan and I to go to the door along with Chris and Kaleb and help with the defence, which we did, of course. 


That was the rule here: you’re given an order, you obey, no questions asked. And even though we were not official agents, we were expected to follow. Even normal people who were just in the shelter did. We ran to the entrance and I saw Kaleb standing there. 


Kaleb – There’s a guy who got injured, Chris is helping carry him to the hospital wing. What are you guys doing here? 


Me – Boss asked us to come and help while they prepare the artillery. We’ll try to stop them, but we got only one shot. If we miss, we reveal our position and we’re dead. 


Me – That’s what I said. Watch out! 


I had seen someone coming in behind him ready to hit him, or mostly kill him, so I signalled him to drop down, and shot the guy.
