Chapter 2
Ring ring ring
"Hello" I said groggily.
"Hello this is Mayor Darwin, from the neighboring city of Tratos, we were just calling every nearby town and or village to tell them that we have noticed heavy Nod military movements at a nearby abandoned airfield and that they may be planning something, and we wanted you to be prepared for an attack, pass on the message."
"The people of Arrowood thank you and I will be passing on the message." I said calmly.
"Thank you and goodbye" he said.
"Goodbye" I said as I put the phone on the hook and grabbed the phonebook in my drawer and sat it on the desk.
I could hear the sounds of the parade outside; it was the peace parade celebrating 15 years of peace in Arrowood.
I picked up the phone and began dialing but it got super-hot, super-fast, and the cheers outside turned into screams I than felt the ground beginning to rumble, I heard booms, I got up and ran to the door but as soon as I opened the door I was engulfed in flames, and started screaming, but then there was a great flash, and then I woke up.
I sat up very fast.
It was 4:35 A.M; I would have been up in 15 minutes anywayso I just got up, I had to leave at 7 AM, I started the coffee and then I got in the shower my sound system was still going. I finished my shower, got my uniform on drank my coffee, turned off the sound system, grabbed my gun, and headed out the door.
I didn't have a car or a bicycle, the office was only down the street, I slowly walked, saying hi to everyone I saw, it was a good job, knowing I could help people it was a good feeling. I continued walking, the parade was today but I had to sit in at the station and answer phone calls and do paper work, maybe I could open up a window and watch the parade, it would be going in front of the station everyone was going to be there.
I opened the door of the station, and went in, the station was fairly small I was the only cop we didn't need others, people remembered the coups, the violence, the fighting, and no one ever wanted to go back to that.
This was my life I was living in Arrowood a small village that was peaceful and everyone knows everybody, I had little desire for something other than living in a trailer getting paid 15 Tiberium Credits an hour at the station, I couldn't tell if this was a good life or a bad life, I didn't have any family but dad. Little did I know it was going to change drastically soon.
I immediately walked over and opened up the window and then continued over to the desk got my papers out and started writing, for a peaceful town there sure was a lot of stuff to do.
It was about 9 AM when the people began to gather outside and that's when I realized I wouldn't be able to see anything, oh well at least I could still hear it.
I was still doing paperwork by the time the parade started coming through at 10:10 AM, it started out with the drummers, and then the militia went marching through.
I heard the door to the station open; I looked up from my desk.
"Well hey there dad" I said with a smile sitting up straight.
"Hi" he said smiling back and shutting the door.
"Why don't you come out and watch the parade, son?" he said walking up and leaning on my desk.
"Because I got to stay here in case of an emergency" I said.
"Emergency, everyone is at the parade, why don't you come out" he said.
I was almost done with my paperwork, "oh alright" I said standing up.
He smiled and turned to walk out the door.
I could hear the mayor now giving his speech outside.
I put the pen down and stood up I began to walk around the desk; my dad was waiting at the door.
I was half way across the floor but then the phone rang… I stopped in mid step.
I turned and looked at it, ring ring ring, I slowly walked up to it, as I remembered the dream I had.
I slowly picked it up "hello" I said.
"Hello this is Mayor Darwin from the City of Tratos-" he was cut off by a sharp inhale and then the sound of the phone hitting the floor
"Hello, hello" he said
I picked up the phone "h-hello" I said as I quivered with fear.
"Oh hi" he said "I was just calling-"
"To tell us that you have noticed unusual amounts of Nod military movements at a nearby abandoned airfield and that you wanted me to pass on the word" I said cutting him off.
"Uh yes how did you know… hello, hello"
"Dad you need to go to the nearby hillside" I said quickly grabbing him by the wrist and dragging him out of the door.
"Wh-" he was cut off.
"Don't ask just go" I said.
"I don't-" he stuttered
"JUST GO!" I said commandingly.
He looked shocked.
I sighed "don't ask why just trust me" I said.
"Ok" he said clueless.
The mayor was still having a speech I darted over to the Town hall which was across from the Station and went in, I ran up the stairs and out on to the balcony.
I pushed the mayor from the microphone.
"Look I just got a call, Nod is planning an attack, and everyone needs to go meet on the nearby hillside" I said quickly.
"What is this about" the mayor said.
"Nod is about to kill us all" I said fast.
They all started laughing except for about 7 who turned and left the crowd.
"Is this a joke" said the mayor with a smile.
"What!? NO, they are about to Napalm this village and then level it" I said.
"Everyone give him a hand" said the mayor.
I hung my head in defeat and began walking away.
"I'll be seeing you later about this" the mayor hissed at me.
"Hopefully" I said turning back to him and then walking out.
I went down the street slowly with my head down in shame, while ever one laughed at the has been cop.
I just wanted to help I thought to myself
I eventually reached the hillside.
"What is going on son" my dad said putting his hands on his hips, and sounding extremely ill.
I noticed the other 7 behind of him, including Jenkins.
I began explaining to them what happened, little did I know…
Miles away.
"They are gathered at the parade sir" said a Nod soldier.
"Good" he said "now people are going to figure out that when Nod demands Tiberium credits, they get them" said the Warlord in the suit.
He got up and walked over to the window and looked across the airfield where the Vertigos parked.
"First I want you to Napalm it, than I want you to make sure everyone is dead, with a daisy cutter, then we will take all neighboring townships with ease since they have the highest amount of fighters" he said with an evil voice.
"You got it sir" said the soldier running out of the office.
The warlord gave an evil chuckle when the soldier was gone "they will know fear" he said to himself with an evil smile.
Back on the hillside
"Do you really expect us to believe you" said one of the others.
"Look I know it sounds far-fetched, and it is, but you have to believe me" I said.
"Your dream was a coincidence, it doesn't mean anything" Jenkins said.
"You need to listen to me, Nod is fixing to level the-" I was cut off when I heard a roaring sound and then a shadow passed by overhead and then another and then another, until ten passed over.
We all looked up it was the silhouette of multiple planes.
They approached the village and then it appeared as if they were dropping fire on it.
"Whoa" we all said in unison.
And then one last shadow past overhead.
It flew into the village and then the village was engulfed in a flash, we were blinded by the flash, and even though we were quite a ways away the shockwave was enough to knock us to the ground, it was even enough to knock me out.
A/N alright here we go the village gets destroyed now what…
