They were coming. She could not outrun them. No one could outrun them. They were talons. One of the most feared people in Atmos. Especially when they were after your home terra. Unless you had a sky knight or a squadron protecting your terra you were instantly doomed. Oh yhea just like Stork.

When Terra Casa heard that the talons were coming there everyone started to freak out. People packed all their items as fast as they could. Yet the information was little to late and only a few lucky ones got away. Then the day came.

The talons came flying down to towards the terra. They even had one ship. It was just enough to freak out everyone. People ran from their house screaming and trying to protect themselves. The Talons started to shoot at everyone. Tons of people fell down never to get up. Piper was holding her aunt hand. They were running down the streets pushing pass everyone and avoiding the dead ones. Piper Aunt took her into her arms so they could run faster. But it did no good. Talons surrounded them with a few other people.

"If you give up now you'll be taken peacefully away to a cyclonia jail," said one Talon.

"Never," shouted a man.

The four Talons looked at each other and smiled. They brought up their staffs and started to shoot. Piper Aunt turned around trying to protect Piper. Yet she herself was not protected. A shoot from one of the staffs hit her. She fell down in a heap and Piper screamed. She knew had no one left to protect her. She was all alone in the world. Before the Talons could get her, Piper ran into the woods and hid behind a fallen tree.

She crouched down and pulled her legs up close to her. She could hear all the people screaming and the Talons evil laughter. So Piper covered her ears with her hands and she closed her eyes. Even with her hands over her ears she could still hear the screams. It was too much for her and she started to cry. The tears streamed down her face. Piper stayed in the position for the rest of the fight, praying that no Talons would find her.

Slowly Piper started to feel her eyelid droop. The past few days had been hectic for her and it was wearing her out. She barley got any sleep not knowing if she would make it past this battle. Before she could stop herself Piper drifted off into a sleep. Plagued by nightmares of death doom and destruction (Me: I sound just like stork. Stork: You say that like it a bad thing).

A sound of a branch breaking woke up Piper. Listing carefully Piper got up from the ground and peered over the log. Luckily there were no Talons. It seemed that Piper survived the battle. The bad news she was the only that survived the battle.

The scene that lay before her was a terrible sight. Some of the buildings were on a fire, but they were dying down. The rest of the buildings were either torn down or burnt to the ground. The street was coated with people. None of them moving or breathing. Un luckily for them they did not die a peaceful death. It was not a site a 10 year old wanted to see. This site plagued Piper dreams for many years to come.

Piper walked out of the forest careful to avoid the bodies. She looked around hoping someone else survived. If somebody looked a bit alive she would check their pulse but only got the same results for all of them, nothing.

"What am I going to do now?" thought Piper.

She kept on walking through the town. When she came to the spot her Aunt was laying Piper had had enough. She fell down on her knees, her legs to weak to support her. The tears came next. The spilled down her cheeks like a waterfall. This could not be happing. First she lost her parents when she was young and only had her Aunt and Uncle to live with. Her uncle then died a few years later from cancer. Now her Aunt is dead. Piper had no one to go to. She took life for granted and now all she wished is that she had a warm bed and her Aunt famous chocolate chip cookies.

While Piper was crying she did not notice that someone had approach her. She only noticed the person when they coughed. She froze. Tons of thoughts swirled in her mind. The one thought that kept on repeating was a Talon and he came to take her away. She was not going to be taken away so easily.

Piper jumped up and saw that it was not a Talon but a boy her age! He had flaming red hair and stunning green eyes. His clothes were all ripped and torn. On his shoulder was a blue creature that looked like a lemur and a monkey combined. He was looking at her confused.

"Who are you?" questioned Piper, her amber eyes narrowing.

"I'm Aerrow. What happened here?"

"Talons came. What are you doing here?"

"Oh that what they are called. They came to my terra and I had to flea. What your name?"

Piper blushed remembering that she forgot her name. "It Piper,"

"By the way this is Radarr. Well I guess I should go," said Aerrow pointing at the blue creature on his shoulder.

Aerrow started to walk away, but did not get very far. Piper grabbed his sleeve and he turned around. He gave her another confusing look. Piper kept on holding Aerrow sleeve, thinking of what to say. She had grabbed his sleeve without thinking and now it was just embarrassing.

"I-um, well can I come," blurted out Piper.

Aerrow gave her a surprised look. He then started to think for a while, his face a mask. Piper prayed that he would say yes. He then smiled and nodded. Piper tackled him into a bear hug and shouted her thanks. Aerrow stumbled back in surprise but hugged her back.

"Ok so I'm guessing their no food here so the next Terra we'll grab some food. Also let go see if we can find a few pair clothes for you to wear for know," said Aerrow.

Piper grabbed his hand and led him down to where her house used to be. Luckily for them it was one of the only buildings that were barely touched. It even had some food for them to take. While Aerrow and Radarr grabbed food Piper went upstairs to get some clothes. While she was up there she grabbed a first aid kit, and a picture of her Mom, Dad, Aunt and Uncle. She rushed down the stairs to find Aerrow and Radarr waiting at the door for her.

The headed over to Aerrow skimmer, but before they did Piper laid a white rose on her Aunt body, and kissed her goodbye. The three of them climbed onto Aerrow skimmer and took off to find a new terra to live at.
