It's been 3 weeks now and millions of people and soldiers have perished in this war and they need more men now than ever before.
I was laying down looking up at the dark red sky trying to picture it blue and cloudy, full of birds and life, but it was impossible. I sit up right and I try standing on my own for the first time in 3 or 4 weeks. Claire sees this and she freaks out. "No, no, no!" she yelled as she ran towards me, but I stopped her and said, "I need to do this on my own, otherwise I'm always going to depend on you to help me, and what if you..." I trail off not wanting to finish my sentence. "What if I what?"
"Never mind." I try limping away, but she grabs my arm and yells, "what if I what,Tom!" I close my eyes and sigh, what if you die? I thought, but instead I said, "I said never mind, Claire it doesn't matter what I was going to say, 'cause hopefully it wouldn't come to that." There was a long pause and Claire left without another word.
At least 3 hours go by and we hear a jeep rolling up from the distance. I grabbed my gun that I stole from the dead soldier a few weeks back and proceeded to kill anyone who was in that jeep. As it came closer towards us, I aimed the gun at it and shot. The jeep swarved off the road crashing into a big rock.
Claire and I walked up to the jeep and the guy that was in it came out, hands in the air saying,
"please, don't shoot me!"
"Who are you?" I asked in an interrogating voice. "My names Gilbert and I was sent by the U.S. Army to achieve a guy named Tom." I look over at Claire in complete shock. "I'm him, what do you want with me?" Gilbert sighs in relief and says, "thank God, I've been looking everywhere for you!"
"Why?" I say with the most confused face. "Your brother, he's alive!" I look at him in disbelief and say, "but, that's impossible, he died, I saw him die!"
"No, he's very much alive, come, I'll show you."
"But, your jeep, it's ruined."
"Yes, but it still drives." We got in the smoking jeep and drove 590 miles to the army camp. The whole drive I couldn't stop thinking about Jerry and how he's still alive. Though I can't imagine how messed up he'll be when I see him.
When we finally arrived I looked around in complete shock and said, "Wait, where's Arinana?"
