Hal and Maggie were patrolling an area outside of the second mass. They started to talk about what their childhood was like. Their friends. Their families. What their lives were when the skitters and mechs hit Earth.
" Before the skitters and the aliens came, Karin was my girlfriend. My family and life was perfect. My mom was alive, Ben was not harnessed. Its hard to look at Karin and see that she is right infront of me but she is not the one I thought I fell in love with. Its hard to be with someone your in love with and tell them they are not worth to be with you" Hal finsihed and when Maggie heard that the last sentence was about her she just looked at him and put her head back down and nodded.
" I had cancer. I was in the hospital for almost my whole life being tested or either being prepped for surgery and everytime you go in that hospital you dont know if your coming out alive or is it another day of terror. Its hard to realize you have no family left. Its hard to stay alive everyday wondering if it is your last" Maggie finsihed.
Hal just nodded and said " I am sorry."
Maggie lifted up her head and looked at him and said " Its not your fault Hal. Its no ones fault. We dont know why they showed up. Maybe they had no home. I understand why they would do this to us. They need a home. If our home was gone we would fight for a new survival like what we are doing now"
It was a moment of slience for a minute when Hal spoke up when he heard a noise. Maggie looked at him then they both ran to hide behind some trees oposite of each other.
They waited a moment of and was looking at each other since they were across from eachother waiting for what ever it was to pass by.
