My plot to capture Scar and force him to take me to prom is still in motion, until then I don't own him.

Ch. 7

The next day the festival continued. Scar sat with Maria watching the games, Rick and Leo were lined up with the other children waiting for the race to begin. The flag was waved and the boys took off. Leo won. The next race was between the men. Rick ran over to Scar and pulled him towards the starting line. Maria and the boys stood with the others waiting for the race to start. The flag waved and the men ran. Scar easily won.

Afterwards they ate lunch. Loral and Maria spread out a blanket and some food outside wile Scar and the boys wrestled. By the time Maria called them over for lunch Scar had Leo on his back, Derek hanging from one arm and Rick was sitting on his foot with his arms and legs wrapped around his leg.

The boys jumped off and ran to the food. Scar sat next to Maria and she handed him a plate. After lunch more games were played, Leo had Scar be his partner in the father son relay race and Maria helped Loral in the weaving contest. Rick was the proud winder of the pie eating contest.

That night the music played again and everyone danced. The children went to bed late their stomachs filled with good food and their heads filled with the knowledge that they were way up past their bedtimes.

Scar carried Rick on his back, Leo walked half asleep next to Maria, and Loral had her son in her arms as well. After tucking them in the three were heading back to the clearing when the sound of engines met their ears.

"What's that?"

Scar was alert, he recognized the sound as a jeep and three or four trucks.

"Warn the elders."

He started to walk towards the sound that was steadily growing louder. Maria caught his arm before he was too far away.

"But, what about you?"

He pulled her close, kissed her then started to walk away.

"Go!"

He shouted before disappearing behind a tent. Loral took hold of Maria and pulled her towards the clearing where everyone else was. They ran and when they reached the clearing gunshots were heard. The music stopped and everyone had their eyes on the fast approaching women.

"Someone's coming, Scar went to see who they were!"

The one of the elders silenced everyone and his voice was clear and final.

"Do not panic, everyone knows what they must do."

The people ran to their homes, the women taking their children and the men their guns.

(After Maria and Loral left)

Scar was standing outside the camp. He stood with his feet firmly planted and his arms cross. As the vehicles neared he counted one jeep, three trucks and one motorcycle. The visitors stopped in front of Scar, their headlights on him.

"That's him alright, I can see the Scar."

He could tell they weren't military but they were still threatening his people.

"Leave or suffer the consequences."

The men opened fire, Scar dodged the bullets and rolled out of the light, he quickly made his way to the intruders. The man on the motorcycle tried to run him over, Scar grabbed him by the collar and he was pulled from the fast moving bike.

"Why are you here!"

His arm started to glow red.

"To get rid of you and all other Ishbalian scum!"

His arm flashed red and the man was dropped to the ground dead. He continued to fight and soon half of the men were running away. The half that stayed had taken positions behind the trucks and were re-loading their guns.

The others Ishbalian's had arrived and were taking aim. They fired and the attackers (those who weren't already dead) grabbed their wounded and left.

Scar fell to one knee. A two bullets had found their way into his side. Two of the men ran forward and helped him to his feet.
