Friends and Soldiers
Ch. 3
All's Fair in Love and War
Authors Note: Oy Vay! I can't write a story without turning it into a romance. Yes I'm a sap. Anyone who laughs gets it right between the eyes.
Thanks to Angel362 and vanpirempress62 my first reviews for any of my stories.
Angel,
I'll try to make my chapters longer; I just don't have a lot of time on my hands now.
Anyway on with the story
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Ella and Mallory swerved another missile as their enemy attempted to blast them from the sky. Mal was concentrating completely on the fight, but Ella's thought's fell elsewhere. She longed to know that Tom was safe. Her wandering mind was quickly returned to reality as Mal yelled "Ella pay attention".
Aiming precisely, Ella fired at an enemy ship and she hit it with ease. She brought it down in one blow. By the way it fell in a spiral she could tell she had struck the wing. She and Mal landed the plane in a nearby strip and crept up to see what had been flying the ships.
In the aftermath of the crash Ella saw creatures climbing out of the wreckage. She didn't believe what her eyes beheld. It couldn't be. Yet it was. They were Saurians. This wasn't right. Those old legends were just that, legends. However, there they were taking her people prisoner and destroying her home.
She watched, paralyzed by fear. Her mouth hung open. Involuntarily she started to shake. Mallory's arms went around her neck to comfort her. Quietly her best friend whispered " It's alright, were safe". "I know" Ella answered hollowly. 'I should be thankful I'm not dead' she thought to herself, but her love for Tom and immense dread were the only emotions that touched her heart at that moment. ******************************************************
The bombardment continued and Tom began to worry. There on the ground the casualties mounted and the death rate soared. These mysterious attackers were wasting no time to get rid of Puckworld's only trained warriors. Even the military's most advanced jet planes were being shot out of the sky with ease. His heart was racked with nervousness. All he could think of was 'Ella's out there; she could be dead'.
"No" he said firmly " Elli's cut from tougher cloth than that". A few other people in the hanger looked at him as if he had grown an extra appendage. He didn't care what they thought. He loved Elli and he couldn't bear the thought of her dying without knowing how he felt about her.
Tom had barely finished that thought when a loud bang filled the air. Seconds later the roof of the hanger started to give way. Always being selfless he ushered everyone else out of the hanger. They fled in droves as he screamed " Everyone out it'll collapse any second! I said OUT!"
He pushed the final person out of the hanger and to safety just as the roof gave way on top of him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Am I cruel enough to kill Tom. Well we'll see won't we.
I wanted to make it longer but this is the point this chapter was meant to make.
