Life's not that easy, especially how the world became how it is. The red army invaded our suburbs not to long ago, & I've just barely made it out of there. 

My family & I have joined the "Blue Rebellion," which is the enemy army of the Red army, after we had to sign a waiver in order for protection by them. But before this war zone of what we call 'home' wasn't all like this beforehand. I used to live in the more 'finer' aspects of life, with my dad & my older sister; and it was always a great day. We manage to balance his work schedule of an architect & his home life with the help of both of us to spend time with one another. Until that one day...

We were on the couch, my dad drinking some cola & my sister some water, watching the news on what the forecast would be today, & we saw some mahogany fighter jets as well as the news reporter looking frantic like something's wrong.

"...Please remain inside.." She said. "...Life-threatening emergency...Aerial-" The TV signal went off.

"Wait a minute," my dad frowned. "What just happened?"

"No idea." My sister answered before going onto her phone.

"Wait, wait, wait... What's that noise?" I spoke to both of them. I listened into the silence to hear jets piercing the air above & explosions in the distance. I immediately knew what was happening. Dad must've known as well, because the moment he shouted "Find cover," an explosion from the east side of the room blew part of the house apart, my ears ringing violently, & my sister & I got propelled back into the wall, the ceiling collapsing on us.

I was unconscious for as long as I could remember, because I opened my eyes after a while to find my dad bruised & scarred up from the wood flying from the walls, trying to pull my sister from the rubble, which she looks like she's deceased. 

I didn't know what to feel in the moment. Sad? Scared? Angry? Wanting to get my revenge? Possibly, but I just didn't have the willpower to display any of those emotions. And now we cut back to where we are, in this dreadful landscape of what we call home.

I'm running alongside of the road, hoping I don't come across any of the enemy forces if they drove by. Luckily I've taken martial arts & track in school, so I don't have to worry much about loosing stamina or being overpowered by many people. I saw two figures in the distance, & they were walking my way, but they haven't noticed me, yet. I assumed that they were soldiers , so I started to back up slowly, & one of the figures brought up a walkie-talkie & pointed in my direction. I took off running, & they started to follow.

One of the soldiers was quite faster than the other, & managed to be within my vision point. After a while, they caught up to me, & all I've managed to do was run for 0.6 miles, with nowhere to go. I've decided to stay in fight after realizing that it was never going to end. One of the men that gained up on me was the Red Leader himself. 

"Well," I exclaimed loudly, turning around to stare at him in the eyes, clapping in sarcasm. "Look who it is, the one & only man-that-ruined-my-life-&-possibly-many-more!"

"You've got quite a mouth for someone your age," he commented, with a hint of irritation in his tone. 

I decided to test my luck with him & I ran right at him, which resulted in a swift miss & a punch to the ground. I've jumped up & stood in a passive stance, noticing that my lip was bleeding, I wiped it off. I gestured him to make his next move, & he did so. He threw punches at me but on instinct I blocked his blows, & managed to deliver small, yet quick blows & a kick to his stomach. He pulled out a gun & attempted to shoot me but he missed & I turned to the side, twisted the gun from his free hand. Being a black belt in karate & a brown in Wing Chun, it felt like this was too easy. I had attempted to knock him out but he blocked the shot with what appeared to be a robotic hand & twisted my arm.

"Aww! Fucking—!" I groaned in pain. I kicked the back of his knee & he buckled. I threw a punch to his face & he wiped the blood dripping from his nose. 

His reinforcements must've arrived the moment that other soldier called on the radio. Now I was screwed, because I can't take on more than 3 people at a time. At the same time, I saw four figures appear from the trees beside the roadway, carrying guns & they shot at the enemy soldiers, injuring many & killing some.

I've used the diversion to attempt to punch him in the neck but then my ears started to ring. Why they were ringing, I could not tell you, but what I do know is that it's the same prolonged ringing when my house exploded 3 years earlier.

I've tried to ignore it but it's hard to do so. After Red Leader saw the attempt, he moved out the way & grabbed both of my arms & pulled them back, putting his boot on my back. I resisted quite a bit before giving up on trying to break free. The four figures must've retreated back into the forest & left, leaving me to fend for myself once more.

"Hmm, hun er ganske dyktig." (Hmm, she's quite skilled.) He said in a foreign language. 

"Paul, hva er bakgrunnsinformasjonen hennes?" (Hey, Paul, what's her background info?) He asked one of the soldiers.

 The soldier he asked was smoking a cigarette & he had bushy eyebrows. He also spoke to in the same foreign language. Again, I couldn't understand; so I just laid there, immobilized in the position Red Leader has me in. After what I could comprehend what was happening, they're looking at some files that show some info about something. 

"Hey! What're y'all talking 'bout —" I asked in annoyance before having my arms pulled back even more. I hear the sound of handcuffs being unlatched & one of the soldiers cuffed my hands together, Red Leader holding the back of them.

"So, Y/n L/n's your name, innit?" He asked, demanding for an answer.

"Yeah, so what?"

"We're going to hold you captive for the time being, in the meantime..." He gestures one of the soldiers to go over to him. He then points to me, & a blindfold got tossed over me as I struggled to resist being tied up.

I got carried & tossed into a vehicle & it was pretty dark. The situations I end up in.
