Chapter one
There was no escape, I knew that but somehow whenever freedom crossed my mind it was adrenaline rushing in me, wanting more of it.
"Sith, move faster!" dad calls behind me as his pace quickens looking back at the dark shadow wood.
Something shivers at the back of my spine, I look around wanting protection. Suddenly a hand grabs shoulder, I turn to see Mason, my older brother, 'by two months' I thought. He gives a warm smile that I always liked, the way his gaze at me never changed. I smile back to him.
"Daddy!" A voice calls from the top of the hill I look up to see my little sister, Ella. She ran to dad breathing heavily with her nine year old chest poking out.
"What is it sweaty" dad says picking her up off the ground and onto his arms. "Mom and Uncle Johnny need you to come quick." She says. Dad is sent off sprinting and me and Mason follow.
Up ahead is a large big steel wall mom moves her hands through her hair. Uncle Johnny talks to dad in a low conversation. "It's too high to climb," he says dad sighs looking down in disappointment. "It wasn't here before, looks like they upgraded there volts" dad breaths. "The Sliders will come any minute now" Johnny replies. I turn to Mason who like me heard every word that they said. I could sense the fear coming from him and I gave a heavy swallow.
Suddenly a twig snaps underneath something and the pressure in the air fell upon us.
Dad and Johnny both pull out there pistols "kids stay close to your mother" Dad yells as we move "damn it there here". We stay close to the wall shuttering in fear, I hear roars in the woods follow by tramples in the ground.
They were coming fast.
Dad reloads his gun as Uncle Johnny does the same. They were so close that the tension in the air tighten and surround all of us.
Their silver eye's seemed to glow as bright as moonlight. They had dark red skin with razor sharp teeth and beef muscles. They tighten at their necks and strained at the rest of their body part. They wore tattoos down there heads and arms and black boots with battle gear and a bullet proof vest.
They look ugly and hideous, but they were viscous and did not stop for mercy. They had come out the shadows of the forest and they ran straight for us. Dad shot first at the Siders, the bullet bounced from its plate of armor.
Some of the Siders walked on two feet others ran on all fours. The Sider had jumped on Uncle Johnny with much force. Dad's gunshot again with a slight hesitation and again, some bullets were lucky enough to hit the Siders. The other bullets missed and shot trees or straight into the sky.
They were so fast, I was paralyzed head to toes.
"Sith!" Mason yells as I spun to him. A Sider jumps to me tackling me to the ground. I slammed right on the back of my head, the feeling of pain stun me. The Sider roared about to go for the kill when Mason jumps on the back of it giving a choke hold to it.
I was too scared to move off the ground or I was in too much pain to move. I felt like I was going to pass out. I feel blood trickle down the back of my neck and going down my collared shirt.
I managed to roll on my side, but wince in swelling pain. Grass covers my vision a little, I'm able to see Mason still on the back of the Sider as the Sider does everything to shake him off. The Sider slams Mason on a tree behind them putting all its weight down on him. Dad has Sider's blood all over him, I realized I didn't see his gun. He only had a broken branch
Dad hits the Sider that Mason is on with the thick branch. The alien gives a screech it hurts for a second moving a couple of steps forward. Mason is then thrown off the Sider and crashes on dad. A Sider comes to pick me off and finish me, they don't leave and merciless bodies. It grabs my ankle and drags me through the grass, it was going to finish me off. I scream.
Explosions hit the ground making the world shake. "Hovers!" Someone shouts, but I'm to focus on the Sider. I grab the grass to stop the pull, but end up ripping out the roots. I look back at the Sider who is almost done wheeling me in as I dig my fingers into the dirt screaming.
Suddenly an explosion lands right next to us. I'm sent flying into the air my body uncontrollably twisting then slams into the ground hard. My body is in pain. All I see is darkness, it's getting too hard to breathe, my heart pounds against my broken ribs.
"Was this it?" I thought "I die with no meaning to my life." But then again I was too scared out of my mind to care about it, the fear of death was scarier than anything.
"Sith!" Someone screams in my ear, my ear somehow amplifies the sound to scream of pain and horror. I want to wake up, I want to wake up. There is gunfire and my name screams again "Sith!"
My eyes snaps open and I'm breathing heavily, my vision clears from the darkness and onto Dad who carries me in his arms as he runs. My legs and arms dangled by his sides as he looks feared .I wasn't dead, but still alive not well to move my head away from dad, but well enough to form a smile. We were going to make it, we were going to survive.
Suddenly, dad goes to a sprint to a light run to a jog then a complete stop. "What's wrong?" I want to ask, but my mouth don't form any words. Dad looks down to meet my eyes to eyes, he gives me a warm smile but that's when my smile fades.
A gunshot fires echoing across the Shadow Forest and makes dad jump. "Dad?" I say with my voice cracking. Blood pours down the corners of his lips as he still smiles. "No!" I shout as dad falls over on his back take me with him.
Blood soaks through old dirty blue Yankees jersey. We are surrounded by an army of Siders Mason falls to his knees weeping in tears and mo turns Ella away as she screams.
But me. I don't cry, I'm not crying. I feel nothing no sorrow, no despair, no lost. Just like this was all nothing. I stare at the body of my dad as his breath staggers and coughs up blood, he was dying slowly. He grips my hand and it tightens and he breaths he last words "the force...is strong…with you…stick together." And like that he was gone. When he died a spark of rage and anger to over those are the feelings I accepted.
