It felt like I had ran the entire circumference of Earth when I made it back to God’s Gate. I had a password that I had to say when I got there so that they would know it was me. “Terminate!” I screamed, “Terminate! Terminate! Terminate!” I was loosing my voice from both lack of air and my screaming. “Hurry!” I exclaimed as I looked back at the crowd following my trail. The door to the Gate finally started to open. Once again the shadow of two figures appeared, I knew who they were, Ellen and Dave. I ducked through the gate and ran. “Get Down!” I yelled, my voice was cracking. Then as I gathered all my strength I tackled Ellen and Dave to the ground. It wasn’t long until every persons nightmare broke loose. A massive massacre. My darkest fear. Bullets fired from every possible direction, they flew through the sky passing the tip of my head. Then after what seemed like forever the Gate closed separating me from the crowd.
I survived! I couldn’t believe it. I closed my eyes, as if to try to stay in the moment. I didn’t want to open me eyes again, in that moment I thought opening them would send me back to my nightmare. But this time I can’t wake up, my nightmare is my reality. I stayed there until I felt my breathe starting to ease and felt the beating of my heart stop pressing hard against my chest. I stood up, dusted my pants off and opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was Ellen and Dave. There faces showed a state of shock. That must not have had this kind of experience firsthand. It was Dave who snapped out of his shock first, “ You...you brought them here!” His look of shock was replaced with rage.” How.. Why.. You..” He got cut off as a screen crackled to life on the right-hand wall.
A man appeared on the screen. Apparently he was the leader around here, he was known as President Caspian. “We are prepared,” he stated,” The war starts today.” The war? I thought we were preventing war?
“What...” I began but once again I never got a chance to finish my sentence, the President began to speak again.
“ Today an air strike is scheduled to attack the Darkside, we shall end this war before it even starts,” the man spoke with no sign of emotion. “ We should have destroyed the Darkside a long time ago, those people have been a nuisance from the very beginning. We will eliminate the threat. Good luck soldiers,” and with those final words the screened turned black.
I looked at Ellen and Dave in silence for a brief second. Then the gears in my head started turning, there intentions were not to prevent the war, they sent me there as a spy so they could win it. “ How dare you!” now I was angry, no wait passed the point of anger so my my verbal abuse was not over, “ I’ve seen the affects of war firsthand and if you think for a second this will solve anything your wrong! If one war destroyed half the world the second will destroy it all!”
“Blake...We didn’t..”Dave began. I shut him up quickly, I didn’t want to hear it. I jabbed him on the right side of his skull and down he went. I ran out of there spitting out curses left and right. Saving my sister now seemed like a dream. I could almost hear her tortured screams ringing in my ear. I had no where to go, I had nothing. I failed my sister, my dad, myself. I walked home sat and waited. That’s when the air strike happened.
