Chapter 1
Smoke filled the cargo bay of the raven as it made it's way in a dangerous downward spiral. Inside Baird and Same struggled to keep from being thrown out.
Bair struggled to breath as he stuck his head out, only to immeadly regret it. The trees were getting closer and closer, and at a very fast speed. He looked over to where he last saw Sam.
He couldn't really say that they were friends. Sam always annoyed him, but like him, she was a Gear.
"Sam!" He had to yell to be heard. "We are going to have to jump!"
"What? Are you crazy!"
"Do you have any ideas then?"
He could see taht she was uncertain. Shit, he was uncertain, but he wanted to live.
"Look." Baird now stood in front of her, his eyes burned. "There is a good chance that we will survigve, but we have to time it just right."
Sam gritted her teeth as the ground got dangerously closer. It was only half a minute, but it seemed like an eturnaty.
Without another hesitation, Sam grabbed Baird's hand and they jumped as faar as they could from the burning raven.
"Oh shit!" Baird felt himself flailing as the trees rapidly came up to meet them.
They hit the trees hard at a speed that was unsafe. As they continued to fall, branches scraped them drawing blood. Everything seemed to be so clear at that very moment.
Baird was vaguely aware of his head connecting with a thick branch knocking him out. His whole body became limp as his body bounced off each branch and hit the ground with a dull thud.
Sam felt her breath leave her lungs in a woosh as her stomach connected with a brach. For several minutes, she laid there, struggling to catch her breath. For several minutes, she laid there, struggling to catch her breath.
"Baird?"
Nothing
"Baird?"
When there was still no reply, Sam became worried. Quickly she jumped the rest of the way down.
"BAIRD!"
A soft groan cought her attention and she quickly turned.
