"I've found you. Don't ever leave me again." It said to me as it held me. It's Cody I know it is. "Get of me! Leave me alone." I tried to push away. But then as I looked at his face I saw shock and horror. He is defiantly mental! "I lost you, and then I found you running from him." He pointed into the trees and said, "That lad who was running after you, I knocked him out then I pinned you down over there so when he left he wouldn't know where you were and you'd be safe." I don't believe him. "Remember I'd just saved you and then it went white and we were running together. Then we stopped and we told each other our names, mine Cody and yours Tia, and then you told me what had happened and why. You snapped questions at me. Then you were taking me to a pick-up point where we would go somewhere safe and start new lives." Not true. "No it was the other way round you told me everything and you took me to the pick-up point and asked me to marry you, and I ran away then this." "No I didn't say that." Was it that insulting you asking me to marry you. "I looked away and you were gone, I've been searching for you. I saw you running and I took him out over there."
"Hello, fancy seeing you here." It was me in the distance coming closer, I had to do a double take, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Do I really sound like that? Cody's face said it all, shock, horror and a screaming help expression. "Oh, so will you marry me Tia?" A voice came from behind us, Cody 2. Or is that the real Cody. I'm so confused! We just stood there looking at each other. Other me was getting closer and Cody 2 was also approaching. There was nothing we could do. BANG!
We were sprawled on the floor blood everywhere. What happened? My body cut everywhere grazed knees and I think I have a broken nose from the face plant. I here Cody, "Tia are you ok? Tia?" He helps me up and we look around bewildered. "They exploded, they weren't real where they?" "I don't know, but at least we were far enough away we didn't get blown to bits, literally." "Come here." He was hugging me, I cried as I was confused, upset and extremely in need for a bit of love like this. Cody is like a big brother to me.
I open my eyes, I look into the forest. I see a butterfly. So elegant. So beautiful. Moving around like nothing has happened. Like the world was just the same. It fascinated me, its beauty so beautiful, it made me happy and feel warm inside. I wanted to fall asleep and forget the world, like the butterfly. But I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here at this moment, hugging Cody and watching the world go by. I watch it, it doesn't seem to be doing anything in particular, just showing its beauty to the world. CABOOM! My hearing has gone, I can only see whiteness again, but I can still feel Cody. He's slipping from me, he's falling to the ground. I shout for him pleadingly. But I can't even hear my own voice. I'm frozen. I'm blinded. Then I fall unconscious.
I'm alive. I'm layed down on something, something rock hard, it's so uncomfortable. Something is on my arms, it's heavy. My eye sight is still white. How long have I been unconscious? I can hear people faintly, they're surrounding me. THEY. Who is it? O.M.G am I in the mental hospital, was it a crazy dream? Where's Cody, is he real? Is my Dad even dead? Is the world ok? AHH!
No, everything was the same, when my eyesight came round, I can't move. My arms feel really heavy, but I can't move to see what's wrong. I can hardly hear, but I know they haven't noticed I'm awake. There's a black boy, he has a very strong Afro-American accent and there is also another black boy who's younger, about ten, who isn't saying much but keeps looking at my arms. Where's Cody? I think I can hear him. I want to scream but I can't. I want to go home but I can't. I couldn't do anything, absolutely nothing.
The young boy has noticed I'm awake and telling other people to come over. I hear thuds of feet, they are shaking whatever I am layed on. Cody is running towards me I can see the top of his head, he's so tall. He leans over me and looks into my eyes and smiles. His brown eyes, full of joy at the sight on my awake. He says something but it's just a mumble to me, I see tears in his eyes, he says something again, I know this time that it was, "Everything is O.K I'm here now." Then it comes out of my mouth, I didn't intend to, but I did, "Cody, I'm sorry." He looked surprised, so was I, why was I saying I'm sorry, but I knew I needed to say it, but why I do not know. He whispered in my ear, "It's O.K don't worry it wasn't any one's fault at least were alive." I didn't know if he was talking about our families, or the clones been really creepy. TAKE ME TO THE MENTAL HOSPITAL! I whispered back in a dry croaky voice, "Don't leave me, you're the only person I trust." "I won't" he smiled back. That smile made me feel safe. He stood a few metres away. I realised my hearing was getting better and someone else was stood next to me, putting something on my arms. I turned and snapped, "Get of my arms, it hurts." It was the older boy he wasn't near my bed, I looked down to my arms to see that there were butterfly's on my arms. I'm scared, what's happened, I think the look on my face made Cody come over and say, "Don't worry, it's O.K." Totally I've now got butterflies on my arms! "Get them of, get them of me now!" I shout pleadingly. "Please!" I start to cry. Cody rushes over and holds me, "In the third set of explosions whatever you look at you get magnetised to. You must have been looking at a butterfly, where I was looking into the woods at was looking at a tree when it happened. Now I have a bark leg." I worried is he O.K? "Are you O.K?" "Better than you are, you've been out for 4 days, I was only out for half an hour." I'm feeling bad as I haven't been around to help, I left him.
"Sorry." With a confused expression he replies, "Why are you sorry, it wasn't your fault you were a victim." I feel weak now, but I aren't I'm much stronger because of what's happened to me, physically and mentally. In as stronger voice as I can produce, "it's made me stronger." My eyes saw from my tears try to stay open to look at Cody he gently says, "It's made us all stronger." They all sit me up introducing themselves, the older boys name is Zabio and he is 18 years old, the younger is called Hendrix he's 10years old and is brother to Zabio. There's also a girl, blonde hair, blue eyes, she looks unreal maybe even to beautiful to be true like someone in a movie or photoshopped in a magazine. Her name is Destiny, what a rubbish tarty name, ugh I hate it. Why isn't they're anyone who's older, or a baby, Cody is 15 and I'm 14. "How come we are all teens?" I question. Silence falls across the room. Zabio says in his very strong accent that I can just make out, "In the 2nd explosion where everyone was cloned, only teens lived, anyone younger than 10 and older than 20 didn't live, killed them instantly." That's it, official, mum and Joe are dead. Joe was only 2 and mum was only 38. I want to cry but I have to be strong now for the others, we've all lost, and we had nothing, but together we have each other.
