Chapter 5: Tripods vs The Army

We were walking down the road with other people who survived the water attack and Robbie was walking ahead of us.

"Robbie slow down." Said Rachel but Robbie kept his pace. "Robbie, slow down." She tried again but still no luck. I finally couldn't take it anymore and walked right up beside him.

"Robbie, you need to slow down." I told him but he didn't seem phased. Suddenly we hear guns, tanks and all kind of things going off. I looked over at the hill and saw the army fighting but we couldn't see the tripods though. Robbie started to walk faster and faster then broke into running. We ran after him.

Ray left Rachel near a tree and told her to stay there and he managed to get Robbie on the ground.

I couldn't hear what they were saying because Jason was doing the same thing as Robbie. Jason stopped and looked at me. He knew I didn't want him to go but he also knew that I wouldn't stop him. He nodded to me then bolted over the hill.

A moment later, I saw Robbie doing the same thing. I ran over to Ray who was now holding Rachel. He was walking back towards the fighting calling for Robbie when a huge explosion went off and a tripod got up infront of us. We ran and saw a man holding a shotgun.

I was lagging behind but kept running. Suddenly a large leg cut me off making me halt. Ray looked back at me. "Jesse!"

"Go Ray! I will be fine just get your daughter out of here!" I shouted. He looked at me, desperation in his eyes. "Hurry and go!" I shouted as I bolted. I looked around for any kind of shelter. I saw a house and quickly ran inside.

I ran to the basement and made sure to block the door and blocked the outside entrance. I made makeshift blinds out of the boards but made sure I could take it on and off to see what is happening.

I sat down on a chair and sighed and listen as the tripods went to work. I leaned back and buried my face in my hands. I didn't know what to do now. I don't know if my real and foster parents, my brother, or Robbie was still alive. I shut my eyes.

I am trapped in a basement with no hope of getting out of this alive.

I walked around the room and peered out into the hellish night. The tripod was searching houses and I quickly hid. I didn't want them to find me, even if my will to live now all but dwindled.

I never felt so useless in my entire life.

Here I am, hiding and waiting for these things to come to get me.

The sounds of the walking tripods slowly made me fell asleep.

It has been a couple days since I got separated from Ray and Rachel and I was begging to lose hope.

I was looking outside again, This red weed was spreading rapidly everywhere. The tripods was still in the area, I know that much but I don't know where they were. All I have to do is to wait.

I suddenly heard a scream and I knew that it was Rachel.

I bolt outside and saw Ray looking around shouting for Rachel. A tripod suddenly came out of nowhere and try to catch Ray but instead it saw Rachel and went after her. I bolted and grabbed her and we were both grabbed and put in the basket.

A few minutes later, Ray joined us and a tentacle grabbed him and started to pull him in but an army guy and a couple of others started to pull him down which they succeeded.

The army man suddenly told everyone to get down and then the tripod started to blow up. The cage we were in landed in a tree and we got out. Without anyone saying anything, we headed to Boston.
