"Mom. I know you will just say they are far off bur truely I heard a bomb maybe two miles off!" Primrose said.
Mom knows. She refuses to leave. We will all die if we dont.
Mom calls Primrose in. I listen through the small crack in our shack wall to the kitchen.
"Prim, I know your worried. We will go when they are in sight. Our stuff is packed and we are ready we are just," she was cut off by the sound of a bomb. We all rushed to a window behind the pine so they cant see us. Three houses down were burning. We saw the army crawling across the hill.
We shoved food into a suitcase. My sister screamed and a tear rolled down her cheek. This shack may have been the ugliest thing I've ever seen but we had so many memories of joy and fun.
"COME ON SEV!!!" Mom screamed. I grabbed my bag and filled a bag with a pillow and a couple pictures, even my blanket and sheet. I zipped it up. Sev and mom were already in the woods. He have a plan and place to meet. I run twoards the door and run out. Tears roll down my cheeks. The pristine wildflower hill is now singed with ashes and fire. The woods are a clear shot away. I jump as I hear a ear-splitting boom. I stop to look back. Our house. I am at the tree line when I see them. They have blue suits and know how to destroy. I ran as far and fast as I could to the Hanging Gardens.

Mom was crying as Prim rubbed her back. Mom screamed when she saw me. Then she gasped.
"How did you survive that bomb" she managed to choak out amoung the tears.
"Mom, i was just barely out of the house, as a matter of fact, at the treeline. I cant hear out of my right ear. They almost had me."
"Lets sleep for the night," she suggested,"and get some rest!"
