AN: Well hello, This is a story I started writing like 3 years ago and I decide to re-publish and touch it up a bit. Formally titled Rebels and War.

ENJOY.

Darkness that's all I can see as I attempt to open my eyes and grasp what the fuck just happened. I tried moving a little bit but my hands and feet were cuffed; and I realized what small spaced I was in as I bump into what I hope to be Katie next to me and a cold wall. "…Katie… Katie is that you?" please god let it be her and alive. "Emily, well thank fuck you are awake, Jesus I've been laying here for an hour thinking you were dead."

I lay on my side with my knees cradled into my body as my eyes finally start to adjust to the darkness that surrounded me; I was just able to make out the silhouette of my sister lying in the same position as myself. "How long have we been in here" I feel so cold and can almost see my breath in the dark air. My eyes catch Katie looking around trying to come up with an answer. "Well, when I woke we were still moving… but we stopped right before you woke up. Its fucking freezing in here too, I swear to god when I get a hold of one of those fucking guards…." "KATIE… shhh, please don't do anything stupid okay." I could feel her eyes rolling as she promised me. "Are you hurt?" she said in her most concerning voice. "I think so, just my head hurts." "Well… they did hit you with a baton in the head when you started to run…"

11 months ago, the world financially collapsed. Leading people to devastating fear and a mass rebellion against all forms of government. It was an all out bloodbath for the first 2 month of the collapse, with official beheadings in the street, the burning of towns and government offices, but that was only the beginning of it. The next month as the death toll came to a delay and it seemed that maybe, just maybe things could work out. Something far worse happened. A new power had risen. They called him the emperor since no one even knew his name. But he was once a rebel against the government. Leading mass killings in the streets and burning anything in his way. The power got to him. The people looked up to him and he absorbed every single crumb of supremacy given to him. After taking control he created his own world, with his own rules. People were starving in the streets; there was more death, more fear, and more destruction in the world then ever before. Electricity, food, and clean water became scarce, which lead to even more riots. But, they were no match for what the emperor had created. No one was. All rioters were shot on sight bringing all riots to a stop. He was in control and there was not a damn thing anyone could do.

That was until a few months' later. Small rebel groups started sprouting out of nowhere, and they were well hidden and equipped for what they were. This brought the all mighty emperor to more violence and a full out civil war. With the civil war brought on a lack of trust among neighbors and friends; no one knew which side anyone stood for and then spying started. The emperor's promise of money and food for those who turn in anyone for siding with the rebels tore Families and friends apart.

With that Katie and I left our flat in London after our family was taken away, and found a small old farming house that we hide and lived in. It was a nice home to us. No electricity, but a fireplace in each bedroom and living room made for warm nights that were rare for many. It was also equipped with running water, which was not that clean, but did its job well. The house was even furnished leaving the story of the past owners behind. One day of cleaning the house I notice a note written.

Naomi,

I hope you find the power to forgive me. I'm leaving to Ireland. The Emperors men were searching for you and I knew if I stayed they would come back for me too. Stay strong my love. Keep fighting for what you believe in. We will find each other again soon. I love you my only daughter.

Your mother, Gina

After living there for a bit Katie notified the new government of our living space. It seemed stupid, until the fear kick in that if they would find us; they would for sure kill us for being 'rebels' it was a smart move by her. We lived comfortable for a while. No one bothered us, and Katie and I learned how to gather our own food and to hunt. We even took on trading which was very required to live. We were always worrying, but sometimes at our new home it almost felt peaceful. But that ended today. They came in so fast; Katie being smart, gave up as soon as they broke down our door. But I didn't want to go. I didn't want what happened to the rest of our family happen to us, so I ran. Then everything went black.

"It really doesn't make since to why we are in here," Katie was now whispering and I knew even she was nervous about the whole ordeal. "I mean its not like we are bloody rebels or anything of their kind… We followed the fucking rules…I just wanna know why the FUCK we are here." Just as Katie finish there was a ghastly noise as the cargo we where in opened blinding us with the bright light.

"Alright you two, shut the fuck up and listen to every fucking word I say." I could only make out the outline of the man yelling harshly at us. Then I looked back at Katie. Who was acting somewhat out of character by not talking back. She had an unmistakable fear in her eyes. 'Oh shit' this is going be worse then I expected.

We were taken outside to face three more guards looking at us suspiciously, and they started to frisk us roughly and sexually to make sure we didn't have any weapons. What a fucking joke. I felt violated and stunned with fear to say or do anything at all. I look at Katie through the entire nightmare and she just looked emotionless. Not even making eye contact with me. Once they has finish they lead us to what look to be some kind of court house and were seated with our cuffs still on in some kind of waiting room.

The first man that spoke to us in the cargo spoke again. " Just wait here til I come and get you. Katie and Emily… Fitch." His voice was softer then the last time in the cargo and It didn't shock me he knew our names. We were well-known traders and hunters around. But my nerves were telling me this wasn't going to end well, and by the end of the night we weren't going to be back at the farm in our warm beds. This was it. We were either going to be put to death for reasons unknown or be put to work for a government we both hated. I was not so sure, which one would be worse. Our life now no longer in our control it was time to face our judge, jury, and trial.

Please RR! I plan on putting up new chapters every other day or so!

Peaceee out
