Chapter 4 Boom! This one exists in the world without the Institute of War.
Sorry this one is short. But I really couldn't think of anyway to make it longer without it seeming weird. Anyways, I hope you enjoy! Also this does have some relations to chapter 2.
There was nothing but ashes. The blacken barren landscape had no plants, no homes, no life. No life except for a small girl that danced in the ashes. Her red hair, purple dress, and pink backpack stood out against the ashes that filled the sky and covered the ground.
"Ashes, ashes, they all fall down…" the little girl sang as she twirled around with a stuffed teddy bear in one hand. She danced for a while a huge grin covered her face before it started to fade away to a sad smile. Her emerald green eyes began to water as small tears slid down her cheeks. Then all of sudden, she plopped into the ashes causing a bunch to go air born. She sat there starring into the barren ash filled landscape. The only sound heard were the soft sniffles from the little girl.
A gentle rumble echoed across the empty lands. The rumble grew louder as the ground shook in a steady pattern. Yet the young girl sat there, not even moving a finger as the rumble grew louder and closer. Behind the young girl a huge metal titan marched through the burned land. Each step he took shook the earth, like a mini earthquake that would've crushed any buildings. A large anchor rested on his shoulder, almost as big as the metal titan himself. Its red eyes beamed like headlights through the falling ashes. The titan turned its head from side to side until he saw the red hair of the little girl.
The metal titan marched directly towards the little girl in the ashes. As he approached he swung his anchor down into the ground. This caused ashes to fly high into the air as the earth shook. The little redhaired girl did not move. As if the nothing happened the little girl wept into her teddy bear.
"Annie…" The titan rumbled before kneeling behind the little girl. He put his hand palm up next the little girl who finally turned around to face him. Her eyes were filled with tears and her cheeks covered in tear streaks. Her nose was running as she tried to wipe her eyes with her sleeves.
"Nauty… Have you seen Tibbers?" Annie asked giving Nautilus a grin. Yet her eyes were still watering with tears as she tried to put up a happy face.
"I have… he is waiting for you…" Nautilus said not moving from his spot.
"He is?" Annie whispered looking at Nautilus's hand.
"Yes… he waiting for you… the princess of his tea party…"
Annie just stared at his hand a little bit before finally moving. Once she had crawled to the middle of his hand and sat down, Nautilus lifted her up to his shoulder. Nautilus stood once Annie was settled on his shoulder. He quickly turned back to grab his anchor and gingerly lifted it up and place it his shoulder. Nautilus red eyes glanced at Annie.
"Are… you ready?"
"Yes, lets go. We can't keep sir Tibbers waiting for us, can we?" Annie said before grinning, "Onwards, sir Nauty!"
"Yes… lets go… Princess Annie…" Nautilus said as he began to march forward and out of the barren landscape. Annie just giggled on his shoulder they traveled together.
So? How was it? Did it cheer up your day?
