Earth War I
In they burst,
smashing through our door. Everyone was panicking and I could hear almost
nothing over the din of breaking furniture, hearts, and bones. The soldiers
were being merciless, treating the women and children just as badly as they
were treating the men. I whipped my head around, dodging the bullets that
filled the air. A clear voice rang out, the voice of my father. “Maria! Take
your supplies and go! To the safe house, quickly!”
I ran to the room
I shared with twenty others and reached my bed. It was surprisingly empty here.
Then again, no one would be in bed at this hour. I pulled the stuffed backpack
from under my bed and ran out again. I paused for a moment at the door and whispered a goodbye to the place I knew I would never see again.
When I got out of
the room I was thrown to the floor. Facing me was one of my friends. My best
friend actually. She was staring at me, but she did not see.“Callista,”I whispered, distraught. I was
looking at the still warm body of my dead best friend, her blond hair falling over her dirty face. Her dirty fingernails still gripped the sketchbook she had so loved in life.
I was suddenly
aware of thick boots kicking me. I lie very still and close my eyes, willing my
heartbeat to disappear. “Sleepin’ ,” a gruff voice proclaimed above me. In my
head I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn’t dare do it for real.
The men, in their
black suits with their huge black guns, exited after they had confirmed that
everyone was at least unconscious. Then they lit their torches and threw them
through the windows.
I was
surrounded by the fire. “I’m so sorry,” I whispered to the body in front of me
as I took everything useful. I choked on the smoke that now filled the room and
tried to find the door.This would be the beginning of chapter one in 'Earth War I'. The story is about a girl trying to survive on a planet torn to bits by a terrible war. She does have some things going for her though, like the fact that she can make highly prized bombs. It would be a very emotional story with a message of how harrible war is. (I did not misspell horrible. That's what it's supposed to look like.) i also had another idea about some planet way off where they have a religion about the seven angels. The angels would turn out to be real, and from there it would be sort of like Percy Jackson. (If you haven't read that book book you fail!)
That looks fantastic! Yes I have read Percy Jackson (love it!)
ReplyDeleteWhose your favorite character. I don't normally like the main character but I looooooooover Percy!
I think it's really funny that you wrote 'harrible' I say that alllllllll the time!
I love Percy Jackson too!(both the series and the kid.) i am totally into Greek mythology. You should get a Poptropica account(assuming you don't already have one.) and go on mythology island. I have completed it almost 5 times! Harrrible is just one of the many quirky things I say. Yay!
ReplyDeleteHaha, my little brother plays Poptropica. I don't know if it's really MY style though. : )
