Chapter Three: The end of the world
"We'll have to go the long way round!" Harry had to yell to be heard over the collapsing dome. The Thal missiles were raining down, before the big rocket took off. They had only just escaped one area of it, and one of the exits was blocked, because the ceiling had collapsed on top of them. Everyone knew the next time they may not be quite so fortunate.
"What on earth are we going to do?" Sarah asked, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"We'll have to climb out through that tunnel halfway up the wall," Harry choked; the smoke was suffocating.
The guard, whose name was Renning, led the way because he knew the location of the tunnel. He climbed in, but retreated. It had half collapsed and was filing up with smoke.
They ran back to the main entrance, which was mercifully open, but it was jammed with Kaleds, fleeing for their lives. Another piece of ceiling fell down, except this time it was burning, and they took that as their cue to move.
Smoke poured into the corridor, burning their lungs, and choking them. Sarah was trembling. The lifts had all been blocked, and the dome was collapsing. They ran around the corner, and came to a stop. About ten feet away was a pile of dead bodies. Harry gasped, Sarah let out a small, choking sob and Renning moved forward to examine it. He looked very grave. Two of his friends were in the pile, their bodies cold, and their faces white.
He looked up at Harry and Sarah. They looked exhausted.
Harry knew that they had to get out to the loose tile in the floor.
"Okay,"
he said, his voice shaking but commanding. Sarah gave him an admiring
look; it wasn't very often he took charge of things willingly. "We
have to get to the loose tile and if we go this way, we should make
it."
They sprinted through the dome, and Harry soon had the tile
up, and then replaced it as they all left.
Then there was an almighty explosion, a hundred thousand times bigger than the last one. Sarah was in Harry's arms, crying almost hysterically. She had been very affected by the dead people, and that combined with all her running, and rocket work had just sent her over the edge. Rennings crouched with his hands over his ears. And Harry thought about how they would get out alive.
