Dooms Day
"Quickly we have to get out of here," Locke called out. "Hurry and get the baby."
Locke ran into the living and looked through their glass wall to see the entire city of Echidnaoplis was on fire. He never thought something like this would happen. The dingoes had declared war upon the echidnas. They said would destroy the city by the end of the week. This had totally caught the echidna government off guard.
"Okay I'm ready," Lara-le said as she ran into the living room. In her arms was her son Knuckles.
Locke grabbed his wife and pulled her out the door. They ran down the burning hallway of the apartment building. Lara-le held her baby close. She didn't know what she'd do if something were to happen to Knuckles. Tears came rolling down the sides of her cheeks.
"Aurora, guard our child," she said a silent prayer. "I won't live without him."
As they approached the exit of the building the sound of gun shots filled the air. Locke stopped and held onto his wife. Lara-le cried in his arms. Then suddenly the front to the apartment building came crashing down.
"Anyone in their," came a voice from the dust and ash.
"Yes," Locke replied. "Please help us."
From behind the dust came a group Echidnaopolis S.W.A.T. team members. Each one had one of those stupid Halo 2 machine gun. The S.W.A.T. leader came walking through the opening as the team checked for anymore survivors.
"Come right this way Guardian," said the team leader as he led them to a get away vehicle. "Alright men move out." The members came rushing back outside and hopped into a separate jeep. The two vehicles immediately took off, swerving around tipped over and dead bodies. "We'll be taking you outside the city to a safe zone."
"Oh, Locke," Lara-le sobbed putting her face into her husbands chest. "What will we do?"
"It's gonna be alright," Locke said trying to calm her spirits. "I know someone who lives outside the city."
(Half an hour later.)
The two vehicles came to a sudden stop. Locke opened his eyes to see that he arrived at a camp. He could see other survivors as well. He thought he might be only the ones along with his family. He looked over to his wife and child to see they were both asleep just he was.
"Wake up honey," he said rubbing her. "We've arrived at the camp." Lara-le slowly opened her eyes. She clutched her baby and slowly got out of the car. "C'mon, we've assigned a tent." Locke held her hand and he guided her to the tent.
