Chapter 2:
Once they got back to the school they all reported to Weaver and were given a new mission. Early in the morning they would leave to go get supplies for the Second Mass especially meds for Dr. Glass so they could bring Ben and other harness kids back. Jimmy laid in his cot just thinking about the events of today. If the mysterious archer girl wasn't there he might not be alive at that moment. He couldn't stop thinking about her, her smile, her eyes, she was so beautiful! He didn't even know her name but he knew he was slowly falling for her. She saved him, he didn't even thank her for that. He kept thinking about all that until sleep finally took over and he drifted away to dream land.
The boy dreamt about his family, about the day when the aliens first came. He had skipped school that day to go see a movie with one of his friends and when his parents found out they didn't take it too well. He was walking to the car with his dad yelling at him for being an awful son like he always did and how ashamed he was for his attitude. When they got home Jimmy tried to go straight to his room but his dad had stopped him. He kept yelling at him, swearing and pushing him. Jimmy had enough so he stood straight and told him to shut up. His father was now furious and he could see his fist hit him harder than he ever did making Jimmy fall to the ground and grab his face. From the corner of his eye he could see his mother standing by the door watching the whole scene but not doing anything. He quickly got up and told them he hated them and that didn't want to see them ever again then left the room. He sat on his bed just staring at one of their family pictures he had and threw it against wall. Not long after the walls started shaking, he looked through the window and saw huge robots approaching their house. Some green creatures were following them carrying a bunch of unconscious children. Fear ran through him as he saw the robots shoot some of the parents who tried to retrieve their children. He immediately ran to his closet and sat inside closing the door. The good thing about that closet was that it was a see through mirror. He could see what was happening in front while the other could only see his reflection. Jimmy stayed there shaking and then heard gunshots downstairs so he closed his eyes and started crying silently. Someone ran in his room screaming his name and crying. When he opened his eyes he saw his little sister in the middle of the room looking for him. He was about to open the closet door when one of the green creatures came in and grabbed her. She started screaming even louder and kicking around until the creature finally let her go. There was a humming sound coming from the window and a bright light which blinded him. After blinking a few times he saw his sister on the floor unconscious next to the creature. He wanted to scream and go get her but fear made him stay still. The creature then took her in his arms and approached the mirror. He tilted his head and Jimmy started shaking. He got closer to the door and Jimmy stopped breathing. The monster was only a meter away and could take him when ever. The beast just stepped back and walked out of the room carrying his sister with him. He slowly stepped out of the closet looking around to make sure no more weird green creatures were around and headed downstairs. What he found made him cry harder than he ever had. His parents laid there on the floor lifeless covered in blood. He got closer to his dad and grabbed his hand then his mothers and laced them together. They looked much more peaceful that way. Jimmy stayed there crying for hours, telling them he was sorry and that he didn't mean what he had said before.
Jimmy was awaken when someone flipped his cot over and landed on the floor. He quickly sat up rubbing his face and saw Hal smirking.
"What was that for!?" He yelled at Hal.
The older boy just laughed." Hey I called you ten times and you wouldn't wake up."
"Ever heard of shaking someone awake?" He asked annoyed.
"This was more fun." Hal told him laughing.
Maggie just came up to him and smacked him behind the head.
"Leave the poor boy alone." She told him and turned to Jimmy. "You okay?"
"I've been better." He told her.
Tom then entered the room.
"Come on we have to leave now." He said.
Jimmy got up and shoulder-barged Hal on the way out making the older boy chuckle behind him. They all got in the truck, Tom and Dai in front and the other three hopped in the back. Maggie was talking to Hal while Jimmy cleaned his gun and thought about the mysterious archer girl. He hoped to see her again to thank her and properly introduce himself. He was pulled out of his thoughts when the truck stopped and everyone got out quickly. Jimmy was confused so he went up to Maggie.
"What's wrong why are we stopping here? We were here yesterday." He told her.
"Keep your head low kid." She told him pulling him down. "There are Skitters everywhere!"
Jimmy lifted his head and saw about a dozen of Skitters coming their way.
"What are we going to do?" He asked getting worried.
"Well we have two options here." Hal said. "One, we run away screaming like little girls..."
"Or we beat the crap out of them." Maggie finished smiling at him.
"I think two is our best option." Dai said.
"Yeah, it shouldn't be to hard." Hal said.
"What about you kid?" She asked Jimmy.
"Lets do this!" He answered.
They all got up a the same time separating themselves and started shooting the Skitters. More of them came and started to surround them. Jimmy had killed about five Skitters but was still trying to shoot one and didn't notice the one standing behind him. Once he shot down the Skitter he got grabbed by the neck and the creature started choking him. Jimmy tried hitting the Skitter so he would let go of him but it didn't seem to help. After a few seconds everything was getting dark and he was getting dizzy. He could see the others fighting the aliens and hear the gunshots but they started to fade. He couldn't breathe and was about to past out when the creature behind him finally let go. Jimmy fell on his knees gasping for air. After a few seconds he looked behind him and saw the beast on the floor lifeless. The Skitter had been shot in the head with a familiar arrow. When he looked up Skitters all around them started to fall dead on the floor with the same arrows through their skulls. The others didn't understand what was happening but Jimmy knew. She was here, his mysterious archer girl had once again saved his life and he smiled to himself before turning around and meting with the girls gaze.
