Anyway I hope you like this!
Flames and ashes was all that was left of the once functioning base camp. Bodies littered the ground, singling there was no life around. Except for one. A girl about the age of fourteen was running through the desecrated land. Her clothes torn and burned and her face covered in soot and scrapes kept charging through the war zone calling out for her mother.
"Mom!" she cried. She looked around frantically but still couldn't find her. "Mommy!" she called out again before tripping and falling face first into the dirt. The girl slowly got back onto her hands and knees. Tears started to form as she gets back on her feet. "Mom," she whimpered out. Crying, she limps across the field, still on the search for her mother. The girl was about to give up hope when she heard a woman's voice. She stopped and listened.
"Ellie," she hears her name. She turns around and sees the back of a woman with long chocolate brown hair. Ellie's eyes brightens as she starts to limp toward the woman.
"Mom," she calls in relief, but, when she got within ten feet, her mother turns around. Ellie stopped in shock. She covered her mouth as she gasped in horror.
Ellie's mother's pale face was speckled with blood and her usually bright blue eyes now looked dull and lifeless and in the middle of her chest now had a gaping hole that was more than a foot wide. Blood slowly dripped down her body from the fatal wound. Ellie took a step back, keeping her mouth covered, and her face looking green.
"My God…" she gasped, her stomach began to churn.
"You didn't save me Ellie." Her mother spoke. "You let me die,"
"No! I tried to help! Really I did!" she cried
The area around them began to become darker as if a shadow was being cast off as Ellie fell to her knees sobbing. Her mother glazed over eyes stared at her as she did. She heard a deep chuckle that sounded almost menacing to the ear. Startled, Ellie got up quickly but only to slip in her mother's blood and fall backwards, landing on her backside. She gazed up and saw two eyes, blazing crimson, staring right at her. Her heart felt like it was in her throat as sheer terror filled her very core. Ellie tried to crawl away from the tall dark figure but stopped when said figure slammed its foot down right next to her. She cried out but the figure laughed at her protest.
"There is no point youngling," It said smugly and aimed its arm toward Ellie. A bright blue light came from its arm and it grew brighter. "You failed,"
The blast hit Ellie right in the chest and everything she came to know and love became a bottomless abyss in her eyes. She felt nothing.
Ellie jolted awake with a gasp. She ripped out her earphones and began to rub her chest, trying to get her heart rate down but grimaced as she did so as it was a reminder of that terrible night. She heard a bell ring and jumped and took a look at her surroundings what she saw made her laugh a little. Ellie was sitting the in left corner of a high school classroom and glancing at the clock, she had about fifteen minutes left till class starts. While waiting, Ellie thought back to her past and thought about how much has changed in the last five years. She still wondered why her father decided to take a job in a small town such as Jasper, Nevada. "From all the places he could've gotten a job at, here was his top pick," she grumbled to herself. She did asked once and all her father said was that this job had better benefits. How the heck could this particular job have better benefits?!
Ellie was snapped out of her train of thought when she saw her fellow students slowly trickling in. Everyone that came in the classroom were staring at her, in turn making her feel a little self-conscious about her attire. All she was wearing was a white blouse and a navy blue under shirt and a pair of washed out capris topped with black sneakers. While everybody else were wearing nicer clothing, except for one girl. She also sat in the back corner and was staring at Ellie, but not out of suspicion, but out of curiosity. This girl had colored her the tips of her pigtails a bright pink while the rest of her hair stayed its natural hair color. She also wore a pair of combat boot with stripped tights and had worn short shorts over them. She also had a very cute purple shirt on with a funny character on it. She fit the punk style nicely.
The girl looked as if she was going to say something but was immediately shushed when the teacher stepped in. The teacher looked like she was in her mid-thirties and wore a light blue dress shirt and a pair of kakis and she had a bright smile on her face. "Good morning class! Today we have a special announcement!" she said with high enthusiasm. "Today we have a new student joining us! Mrs. Reed can you come to the front please?"
Ellie got butterflies in her stomach as she rose up and walked to the front of the class. Once up in front of the many stares that was aimed toward her. The teacher placed a hand on her shoulder, making Ellie flinch but the teacher didn't seemed fazed by it at all.
"Ellie and her father moved from California and now will be joining us for the rest of the high school year," The teacher said kindly. "Ellie can you tell us a little about yourself?" she asked.
Ellie fiddle with her hands has he looked towards the ground. "Uh… Well I-I like to draw and read. There isn't much else I can tell you," she stuttered.
"Oh I would love to see your art, Ellie!" the Teacher said excitedly. "You my take your seat dear,"
Ellie quickly walked to her seat and watched silently as class started. After the bell rang Ellie rushed out as fast as she can. This routine continued in all her classes, when the final bell rang, Ellie sighed in relief, she was ready to go home. On her way out though, she heard someone calling out.
"Wait. Wait! Girl with the spiky red hair!" Ellie stopped and turned toward the voice. The punk girl that was in her first class was running towards her. She smiled when she caught up to Ellie. "Phew! Glad I caught up with ya! You're name's Ellie right?" Ellie nodded her head as she stared at the punk girl. The girl smiled and held out her right hand "I'm Miko. It's nice to meet you," Ellie smiled and shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you too,"
