THE CAMP 001

Chapter 1

Everyone used to like sunny days with clear skies but I always liked the cloudy days. Cozy and cold, a good day for a hot chocolate with a romantic book to read. I haven't seen a day like that for years. People destroyed the nature and it seems like mother nature is punishing us for that. Five years ago, when the sun flare started it didn't seem serious but now It is a crisis more than billions of people died, food is extremely low factories fall even electricity is not easy to find and in middle of all a war started going on against the government, giving reasons to Fight over the left resources but I think all those wars are just to under cover the crimes they do. it's a well-known thing that the enemies hunt down kids for labor in their camps. Sometimes bad people will always remain bad even when it is a tough time. The world has broken in to two groups one side fair and square other side believes in power where higher people stomp on the poor, they declare that it's the people who have less knowledge end up poor, so when the poor dies without food the greedy rich morons remain. Well, I cannot say that I don't agree with half of it but then again that doesn't mean that I agrees with them either.

"Nita!......NITA!!! Girl WHERE on Earth are you! I have been calling for you for five minuities. What were you thinking?"

"Nothing mom just you know stuff, are you going to be okay without me? it will take me 3 months to finish my shift in the states, I heard that they get so many sick and wounded people with the weather so hot and a war going on"

"Oh! my sweet girl it won't be easy without you but it's your job to care for others. But be careful okay I don't want to lose you too"

Breakfast was not a feast but anything my mom makes gives out a warm feeling. The bus stop isn't so far from home but mom wanted to drop me off. It's my first-time moving so far for work it's making me a little nervous.

The bus stop was almost full. Parents and kids, teenagers like my age were talking and saying good bye. I could see our ride an army green bus coming from the corner. It halted right in front of the bus stop a solder came down from the bus and started loading the luggage to the bus but for me, I travel lightly I had all my belongings on a haversack strapped tightly on to my back.

I hate saying byes. It's a scary world who knows what would happen so every time when I step out it feels like the last time, I will see my mom again. Judging by the faces around me I am sure everyone else  feel that too.

I really wanted to say something to my mom but if I opened my mouth, tears will come down my cheek and it will be hard to stop. I hate crying and upsetting my mom. I think mom guessed that. She took my hands and said "promise that you will be safe, promise me that you wouldn't do anything unnecessary and return home as fast as you can" she didn't wait for an answer and I wouldn't have given one, so she hugged me tightly. They say that there is no safer Heaven than a mother's arms. The warm summer feeling that starts from your heart and spared around your body the familiar smell. you can't just name the smell but you can say that it's your mother's smell, mix of leaves, honey, flowers, water, sweat, sun shine and soap. Finally, when she let go of me, I feel the heavy burdens again settling on my Shoulders.

I hurried to the bus and got in found a seat near a window and settled down. It's going to be a long ride after all. The bus started moving forward with a slow rustling noise. I turned around and waived my hand to my mom. The seats were not that comfortable but then again this is the most luxuries thing that the government could provide.

A siren started going off . The peace full surrounding was ripped in to chaos. I could hear a long-distended gun fairing. hurriedly I looked for my mother, she was within the group of people near the bus stop but now two gunned men were standing there. Fear started to grow in my stomach I got up from my seat. And ran to the door.

A piercing noise went off numbing my ears. My head was full of pressure blood was rushing to my face. In the next second everything was falling. I was thrown back against some thing hard and air knocked off my lungs  the surrounding  tuned in to a red orange making my eyes tear. The heat and the smoke  was so unbearable my lungs were screaming for air. When I lift my head, I was on the ground the back half of the bus was missing. bodies were everywhere. I can see someone coming towards me but the surrounding wasn't clear. MOM! fear started clearing my vision and I saw my mother being dragged away by someone. I struggled to go to her when out of nowhere someone kicked me, and pain rushed through me a scream jumped out of my mouth but I could hear it . I could feel some one putting arms around me and dragging me to the opposite direction. I tried punching out my legs but suddenly a hard metal cracked against my head making me dizzy. I could see my screaming mother dragged away from me but darkness was on the edge of my eyes I felt so helpless and then everything was dark. One last thing came to my mind "It was a well-known thing that enemy kidnap kids"
