Sorry I haven't posted lately guys, but I have had terrible writers block, also I received a comment that kind of shook me. If there was something wrong with my technique than I wish someone would have told me sooner rather than have me keep writing and my paragraphs/spacing was off. Anyways after thinking for awhile I have decided that you guys deserve an update. I will try to work on the technical aspect of my writing, but I have never been very good at editing, but I will try.
I don't Falling Skies. This is the second installment of Found. Just to get something clear Ben only lets His family and Jimmy touch him, because of something that happened which you will find out about later. Also if you don't like slash don't read this story. Okay now on with chapter 2.
Jimmy's POV
I walked back to the Mason's tent with Ben and Tom. Ben was leaning more towards me, but most of his weight was being supported by Tom. When we arrived Tom and I gently laid his on the cot and put a pillow under his leg to support it. "Okay Ben, I'm leaving. I'm sure you and your dad want to catch up. I hope you get better soon. Bye." I said going to leave the tent. "Bye Jimmy." I heard him say right before I exited the tent and went on my way.
Tom's POV
"Ben, I am so happy to have you back with us." I said as I pulled my son into a hug. "I missed you too, Dad. I am happy to be back. I finally feel safe." He told me before pulling away from the embrace. "Hey dad, I'm kind of tired, can I just sleep for a bit?" I nodded and left him alone. I hope he will be okay.
Ben's POV
I laid my head down on the pillow and drifted off to dreamland. I was running through a dark alley when I saw two men dressed in black step in front of the entrance. They pointed their guns toward me and the first man spoke in a rough voice "Look what we have here Jack, fresh meat." When he said this he looked me in the eye and I saw a devilish hint in his eyes that scared me. They seized forward and caught my arms.
I tried to struggle against them and get away, but they were to strong. They took me to this house in the middle of the woods and I felt my heart drop. They pushed me inside of this cage like area and the one named Jack sat in front of the door with a rifle pointed at me. I sat down in the cage and awaited my fate. The door opened a few hours later and another boy around the age of 16 was pushed in. I huddled in the back of the cage when the guy came up to me and explained that he had a plan to get out of here. I nodded and he informed me on what to do.
The door opened again and I took this chance. I ran and stabbed him in the back while Damon grabbed his gun and shot the other guy. We took off running, and as I was running I tripped on a twisted tree root and fell, rolling down a hill and I landed on my arm. I heard two sickening crunches and I knew my arm was broken. I looked down at my leg and saw it was sticking out a weird angle.
I tried to get up, but I ended up falling again. I waited a few minutes before slowly getting up and balancing on the non-hurt leg. I slowly limped up the hill and that's when the pain hit. I gasped and almost fell over, but stopped myself on a tree. I heard Damon calling my name and he finally found me. We began walking back to the city and when we got there we were not expecting what we found.
There were about 40 Skitters and 7 Mechs fighting against each other. One Mech turned towards us and Damon pushed me behind a dumpster as it shot at us. I saw his body fly backwards and a Mech stepped in front of me. It raised its gun and I did the only thing I could think of, I screamed. I woke up covered in sweat and frantically looked around the room. I could tell it was late because all my family members were asleep. I slowly got out of bed, grabbed my crutch and limped out of the tent. I found a little creek to sit by and I just watched to the water to help calm my mind.
I heard footsteps come up behind me, but I didn't tense or feel worried, I felt at peace so I knew I wasn't in any danger. "I thought that you were supposed to be resting?" I heard a familiar voice say before they sat beside me. "I couldn't sleep. Why aren't you resting?" I questioned him.
"I guess I couldn't sleep either." I turned towards him and the moon light bounced off his face in such a way that his skin seemed smooth and flawless and shone like delicate porcelain. "So what made you come out here?" He asked me gesturing to the small creek we were currently sitting at. "I don't really know, but I am glad that I did. Everything just seems so peaceful here almost like there isn't an alien invasion happening."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I have been coming here every night for the past few nights just to escape from the world. So are you happy to be back?" I looked down at the water and listened to the few crickets that were around, I sigh before answering "Yeah, I am, I am happy that I have my family back, but it feels as if everyone in camp kind of hates me, but I don't know why."
"Yeah, I felt that way the first few days when Weaver and your dad found me, lost, scared, and hiding in a building after I found my family slathered at my house." He told me with a far away look on his face then he turned to me. "But it always gets better, people will eventually accept you, and it's not all bad at least you have one friend here." I looked at him "Who would that be?"
"Me. I like to think of you as my friend. I hope that you think of me as the same at least that is if you want to be my friend. So how about it Ben Mason would you like to be friends with me?" I smiled and nodded. "I would like that very much Jimmy Boland."
Okay that is the end of the second chapter of Found. I hope you enjoyed it and that it was technically better than before, if not please copy the text, fix it, and private message me the fixed copy and I will post it corrected. Bye for now.
