"Run Gale," I say while in awe, "run!" We both run for our lives, sprinting as fast as we can in the other direction. We hear the boom of the bomb and many screams. Everyone is running behind us trying to escape the bomb.
Just when I think we've escaped danger another bomb drops in front of us and I come to a sudden stop. I've completely forgotten about Gale because all I'm thinking about is saving myself. I start to run towards the fence, sweat pouring down my face not only because I'm running but the heat from all the buildings that have been burned down from the bombs is excruciating.
There's a loud sound that I've heard only once before and I look up to see I hovercraft. At first I don't see it but then I see that the hovercraft is dropping bombs in his path. I start to run even faster, which I didn't even know was possible, and reach the fence.
I remember Gale and at that moment turn around to see he has been following. I forget that the fence is electrocuted and place my hand on the fence. Luckily most of it has been blown away so it's not on. I use all my strength and pull part of it out of the ground making a hole that we both wiggle through.
On the other side I automatically feel safer but I know I can't stop running. We get far enough from district five and we drop to the ground panting uncontrollably. After I've somewhat regained my breath I stat to sob quietly.
I've re-witnessed the hovercraft that made me realize there actually was a war going on, the small silver ball that seems harmless but can blow you to bits before you know what's happened, and now something else is coming back. It's a scent, the one that first signaled a war. I turn around and sure enough I see a wildfire right in front of my eyes.
