Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, the Rangers Apprentice characters belong to John Flanagan and the Left Behind characters belong to Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. The first part is from Assassins in the Left Behind series
This is my first story on fanfiction, I hope you like it!
"I'm sorry, Buck. He's gone." Leah said.
Buck slammed on the brake and they lurched forward as the Rover slid in the dirt. "What?"
"I'm sorry."
Buck turned in his seat. Leah had covered Floyd's face again, but the sudden stop had pressed his body against the back of the front seat.
"Do you know who this man is?" Buck said, his own desperate voice scaring him.
"I know he was a good doctor and courageous."
"He risked his life to tell me where the GC took Chloe. Came there himself to help her escape. Stayed up for days with Hattie. Saved her life. The miscarriage. Delivered our son. Was never too big to pitch in with the hard work."
"I'm so sorry, Buck."(From Assassins by Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, page 55)
Buck thought about how much he had to go through in just the past few years. First, Bruce died, then there was the war, the earthquake and trying to find Chloe, losing Loretta and Amanda, then Ken, and now Floyd. And the worst part: the tribulation was only half way over, and worse was coming. How much could a person take? I wish I could go back in time, he thought, and become a believer before I was left behind. I would be in Heaven right now instead of having to go through seven years of tribulation. What he didn't know was that his friends and loved ones were all wanting that very same thing. Suddenly, he wasn't in the car anymore, surrounding him was a forest...
"'Morning, Halt!" Will exclaimed. "I made your coffee!" The sun had just risen and he was already dressed for the day. Today Halt and Will were supposed to go to the Rangers' Gathering, and Will couldn't wait. It would be his first time going; he missed last years' because he was trapped in Skandia, and the one before that was cancelled because of the Kalkara attacks.
"Good morning Will," Halt said as he sat down at the table across from his apprentice and picked up his cup of coffee and sipped from it. "I can see you're excited."
"Of course! When are we leaving?"
"Just give me a few minutes to get ready. Why don't you go get Tug ready?"
"I already did! I saddled both Tug and Abelard too!"
"Well go find something to occupy yourself with for the next few minutes while I get dressed."
"Okay! I'll go wait outside and take Tug on a short walk and be back in a few minutes."
"Okay." Halt said. Will walked outside and went to Tug, who neighed a greeting. Will got on his back and rode slowly into the forest. After a few minutes, Tug started neighing. "What is it, boy?" Will asked his horse, who just continued to neigh. Will tried to calm him, but when Tug didn't stop, Will knew something was wrong. After finally calming the horse, Will's eyes scanned the trees around him, looking for the intruder. After a few moments, his eyes saw a slight movement in a nearby bush. Will strung his bow quickly.
"You in the bush, come out with your hands up!" Will's eyes widened when out of the bush, a blonde woman in her early twenties emerged from the bush with a baby. What would she be doing in the middle of the woods with no one else but a child? But what Will found most shocking was what the woman was wearing, a strange outfit that looked nothing like anything he's ever seen, blue jeans and a T-shirt, definitely not something a woman would wear.
"Please don't hurt us,"she said "I'm Chloe, and this is Kenny. Where are we?"
I hope you liked the first chapter! Please review! I need ideas! :)
