My head was pounding when I finally came round, awaken by the rage of an engine and binds pulling at my wrists. My whole body was aching, but I think it was due to the lack of movement on my part than anything else.

I looked towards the door in front of me. There was light seeping through it, although, everytime someone passed, the light left, making the engine seem even louder.

For a few moments, I thought I heard some sort of shouting, but I wasn't sure whether the engine was coming to a hault or something bad was happening outside. I tried to pull out of the grips around my hand, but it was no use. I was stuck.

All of a sudden, the door blew open and I shut my eyes. It must of been mid-day because the light felt blinding. I opened my eyes again a blurry figure walked towards me, brandishing something long and sharp in his hand. I closed my eyes again.

This is it I thought, but the blade, instead of slitting my throat, it slit the binds, letting my arms fall free and the person pick me up. My head started pounding as I was brought outside. The rush of cold air that suddenly hit me cleared my vision, but then I was dropped.

I hit the floor of a wooden balcony before rolling of the edge and hitting the ground.

I tried to push myself up as guns started to fire, but then something fell on top of me.

It rolled off quickly and then he stood up. It was a guy, a pirate no less. I looked over at him and he was scrambling for his gun that was just a couple feet away from him. As he picked it up, he looked at me,

"Stay low" he ordered as he aimed his gun, only to be gunned down immediately.

Shit

I started crawling to the underside of the building I'd fallen off, but as I got half way in, I felt someone pull me back out by my leg.

"Get off" I shouted as they grabbed on to my arms, holding me still,

A rakyat warrior walked in front of me. The tatau were complete and he was covered in knives. The most distinct one was a stone blade with a decorative handle that was attached to his side in a holster.

You've seen that knife before haven't you...

"We need to get her in plain view of the pirates" he was ordering the people behind me.

We were in some sort of village, which I quickly remembered to be Church town. There were no natives, but there were warriors all over the place, and the looks on their faces told me they were waiting for something, for someone.

The noise they were waiting for came minutes later. The alarms went off and pirates suddenly ran in, all guns blazing. The warriors went at them, and the blood bath began.

My capturer held me tightly as I watched the two factors go to war. They threw grenades, knives, flaming bottles. I even saw some C4 being thrown below some trucks before it was blown up, killing everyone around it, including the one who had activated it.

I watched, as a pirate and a Rakyat warrior clashed, using knives as their only weapons. Astonishingly, the pirate came out the victor, only to be mowed down by another Rakyat who had been waiting in the shadows with a shotgun.

Then I saw him, sitting on one of the trucks with a speaker in his hand.

"You little fucks really think you can defeat us?"

His voice made something stir inside me, something I hadn't felt in weeks. There was this insane fear building in the bottom of my stomach.

"Let me go!" I told them, despearate to be as far away as possible from all of it as possible, but still they kept me there, "Let go" I almost shouted before one of the warriors let go and the other put me in a headlock, something cold pressed against my throat.

"This is all your fault" I heard it, the voice, it was Merrick,

"Please Merrick, please, don't, I-",

"I'm going to kill you" I felt the knife start to move.

"Dad?" the words almost killed me, "Daddy, daddy, please" I looked over as Anna suddenly come out from the shadows and walked right in front of us,

"Anna, run!" I screamed at her as Merrick went quiet, "Run!",

"Dad?" she started walking towards us, a sadness in her face "Dadd-".

The gun shots ripped through her tiny body and she fell to the floor. She didn't stand a chance.

"No, no, no, no" I screamed, pulling away from his grip as I felt something bludgeon the back of my head...

Not again...
