Chapter 9: The Night Begins To Burn Away
"GO NOW!!!" He screamed. I nodded and ran inside before I could watch him kill again. I was scared, but I knew what I had to do. I ran to Sue's room and woke her up, then I ran to Kyle's room and woke him. I took them both by the hand and called for my mom. No answer. I started down the stairs, hoping she was down there. I was stopped by a soldier, rifle pointed at my head.
"Don't move or I'll-Oof! Uuuggghhhh..." He collapsed in front of my and I saw mom behind him, holding up her favorite frying pan. She laughed softly until I told her what was happening. She then led us out the back door as we started to run away from the town. I stopped and look back at our house.
"What about him!?" I cried, worried, wondering if he was even still alive.
"He'll be fine Crystal! We gotta get out of here now!" But I didn't move. I kept hoping he'd appear, running toward us, following. He didn't show up.
"I'm sure he'd want you to get to safety Crystal! Now let's go!!!" I fought with myself about this for a second. I knew my mother was right, but what if he needed me. He was strong, he can handle himself. But he's arrogant, he could get hurt.
"Crystal! Let's go!" I turned away from my home town, running hard, trying not to think about him getting hurt. He was strong, he'd survive. I knew he would. I didn't look back. I heard gun fire, screams of the falling, the clashing of metal all through the town. My home was at war with someone I didn't know. I fought my tears as I ran hard. We got to the edge of the forest before I realized where we were running. I stopped for a second, thinking. Mom looked at me and shook her head.
"Crystal, don't you dare..." I looked up at her with a blank look on my face, thinking. What should I do? Should I go after him? Should I stay here? I looked at the burning town and winced. I closed my eyes and prayed for his safety.
"I wonder what's gonna happen?" Kyle said, worried.
"I'm sure he'll come back..." Sue muttered. I made up my mind. I bent down and grabbed a stick and ran toward my town.
"CRYSTAL!!! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" I heard my mom screech, but I didn't listen. I kept running. My town needed me. I found my way back to my house and snuck in. No one was there. I ran to my room and flipped my bed over. I knelt at the box that was underneath. It was short, but long. I opened it and reached inside. I held up the only keep sake Isaac left me. With his sword in my hand, I ran out the door, looking for the one I loved.
