3.I see lights turn on in buildings at the horizon. I realize, I must hurry. Too afraid, I peep from behind the rock. I see no movement. I move in to secure the area. Recover what I can.

Sort:  

4.The crash site resembled a battlezone. Blazing embers, mixed with the sound of crakling fire surrounded me. The smoke so thick I could barely see through. All I could think was, did anyone make it?!...

5.I start wading through the mess, looking for whoever or whatever was controlling that object. I find something like a box, looks completely unharmed. I pick it up, try to pry it open. And just then I hear a creak from above. I look up, and find a rod flying right at me. Far above it, there is a creature, hovering right there. I dive aside and find another rod hurtling towards me. I roll over and hear a loud bang. The creature fell over, from whatever it was that it was riding.

6.I turn around and find an old man with his double barrel. I look back and find the creature coming back to his senses. I realize my gun fell off, when I took the first dive. It was now crushed under the rods that were hurled at me. I decide to take the old man and get away in his car.

7.The creature gets up and tries to follow us. The old man shoots him again, but the creature withstands the shot and continues his pursuit. The old man asks me to stop. The shotgun would be more effective if we were closer. I turn off the lights and stop just as we move behind a huge rock. The creature flies past and BANG! His machine veered off into a bush, probably nonfunctional for the time being.

Eight (8): Cautiously we get out of the car and move towards the bush. We must eliminate or capture this enemy. We are just paces away when there is movement in the vegetation. My companion lifts his gun instictively but we both stop short. It is a young woman, out of place in this new war zone in her simple, ordinary beauty.

She stumbles towards us, the only thing moving as time freezes around us. She falls into my arms - the only thing my senses can take in, as she whispers - 'They were my people. How could you? I have waited so long........'

9.She faints. I hear the sirens from the incoming back up. I must decide quickly, the young girl's and the old man's fate would be out of my hands, if the military caught them. I ask the old man to drive off to his house, and tie the young girl securely. We don't know what she would do when she came to her senses. I decide to go back to the crash site.

10.I reach the site. The military is already there. I realize, I will have to explain where I was and what happened. I see a soldier pick up the box I had found. The military had set up tents around and cordoned off the area from the civilians. The official statement was as usual a training exercise gone bad.
The military collected what they thought was important for the moment and we leave for the headquarters. I make sure I get in the truck which had the that box in it. As we reach the gates of the headquarters, I see Jonathan's wife coming in, looking dishiveled. She still doesn't know about Jonathan.

11. I think they will come back for him. I can not help but feel bad for that person though. he has become erratic over that month. this obsession will kill him, if i command not to kill him first .
