Chapter Fifty Two:
The tents around us are on fire and I can barely breathe but I trudge on leading Brenda to safety. It was hard because she had trouble standing but she did what she could. The screams and the raging fires only were meet with open gun fire from our forces.
'Are you okay. Where are you?' Nyx asks reaching out to me.
'I'm safe for the most part, so is Brenda. You guys find the others and get to safety okay.'
'Please be careful.' Nyx said with utmost concern.
"Alright we need to get out of sight."
"I'm sorry I'm a burden."
"Trust me this is a cake walk."
Suddenly operatives began to drop from the helicopters and marched onto the camp base with their stun guns.
I could be seen. Yet there was barely anywhere to hide. Advertently the two of us was nearly spotted by a group of operatives. Slowly I began to back up, keeping my eyes forward. I dare not turn back despite the nesscary fear to do so.
Just as we turn a to side of undamaged tent a hard swoops from behind us and yanks me and Brenda behind the tent covering my mouth so I wouldn't scream. There were goosebumps etching up my spine till suddenly the person turns us around. It was Jorge. I was so glad to see him.
"Shits gone to hell, good thinking on your feet Hermano." Jorge said with a dapper smile. Both Brenda and I run hugging him tightly.
"Jorge, my God." Was all she was able to get out."
"Jorge man your timing is impeccable." I smiled cautiously. People screaming in the distance, more gun fire blasting about. Other kids rescued by WICKED fell one by one even the crewmen.
"You know how to use this?" Jorge said placing a pistol in my hands. As he hando Brenda a rifle.
"Yeah, it shouldn't be to hard." I said slipping into the back of my pants and letting my jacket conseal it.
"Alright we can't stay standing around, c'mon and stay low." By now Brenda was able to stand on her to feet, as the three of us, duck and run.
"Listen you guys keep, going. They need me." I said sprinting off.
I kept going avoiding people, for the life of me, I couldn't seem to find, Jane nor the others. Yet in the distance I can hear screaming and shouting. Vince was holding down a spot by a truck.
Making my way over there I duck and slide towards them. Newt and Minho give a confused look, Fry's busy shouting and Harriet and Sonya are keeping flank.
"Looks like you need some help?" I joke.
"Glad to have you aboard kid, but have you got a weapon?" Vince said.
"Just this pistol."
"Here!" Vince said throwing me a heavy duty firearm. It was semi automatic and was ready to go.
I took aim as shot a solider who cross the boundary. I fire and a dozen bullets rain out yet the recoil something I wasn't used to. As the man laid dead on the ground. The shirking screams echos in chaos all round, gun shots here and there. Explosions to one side going off and fire ragging in the other. It was intense and I wasn't sure we would make it out alive. I hope Thomas is alright?
Vince held steadfast with his gattling gun attach to a van, Harriet and Minho had one flank. Fry and Newt another Sonya and I towards the front of the truck. But more and more swarmed forward.
My ears ached and ring but I pushed on and even more seek to over take us as we did our damnedest. Each of them using those electromatic stun guns. I started to worry about Curie and the others even more. It took so adjusting but this heavy weapon eased into hitting their targets with sixty percent accuracy.
"Vince hurry up, there's to many of them." Called out Newt as we tried to hold them back at the same time, dodging. Soon our ammo would run dry. Vince was struggling to run a new ammunition belt to the gattling gun.
"I'm out screams Fry!"
"Me too!" I yell dropping the machine gun and trying to switch with my pistol.
"No lookout!" Minho warns as something flashing and beep is hurled at us it lands next to Vince, before he was able to fire.
"Shit!" He cursed.
Next thing I notice is a exploding sound followed by a arc of static electricity coursing throughout my body. I'm becoming limp as I tumble to fall, darkness is surrounding my eyes, as everything comes a halt. Beautiful slienceā¦
