This is my Town

Chapter 4: Its all kicking off

P.O.V Hadyn

I laid on my roof looking up at the stars. My stomach full for once in my life. For some reason I couldn't wipe the smile off my face, Tonight was the best night of my life. I think my allies are starting to become more than allies.

I sat up and crossed my legs placing my hands in my lap.

I could see the lights from Stockwood beyond the forest. They have been quiet considering we just stole 4 motorcycles, a truck, and enough food to feed us all with leftovers. That was the biggest catch we have ever got from that spoiled town.

I stood up and walked to the edge of my roof in the back and jumped off backwards grabbing the ledge on my way down and sliding through my bedroom window.

My room was small with not much in it, I have a bed in one corner with an oil lamp on my bedside table. On the opposite wall I have a wardrobe and two drawers and next to that is a mirror. Nothing super exiting.

If you walk out of my bedroom there is a kitchen/dining room to the right and an old, ugly, uncomfortable couch to the left. But we dont tell him that.

I walked over to my bed and did a backflop. I sat there for a while staring at the ceiling until the peaceful darkness of sleep overcame me.

*Dream*

"Honey come over here" I herd my mom say to me. I turned away from the flowers I was picking to see her smiling at me with her arms out.

I never liked pink, or dresses. But when your 5 years old you dont have much choice.

I ran to her into her open arms and gave her a hug.

I remeber this moment and thinking about what happens next I never want to let go. I want to hug her forevor. But I continue, I take the flowers out of my hand and give them to her.

"Oh there beautiful." she says taking the flowers.

Daisys, her favorite.

My dad comes down the hill of the park we are at. It was empty nobody there but us and the beautiful view of the town from this hill. Before they put the fences up.

My dad, holding a picnic basket, walks over and sits next to us. We start to eat. All of us laughing. I want to keep this moment forevor I never want to wake up.

I brace myself for the shock that comes next.

First the men. Then the planes. Then the tanks. Explosion after explosion. I hear myself screaming. Hugging my mom as we look down at our town being destroyed. My dad runs after the town. My mom sits me down on the blanket. "Stay here" she says. I see the tears in her eyes. She knows whats going to happen. No dont leave! I scream to her. But she cant hear me. Please dont go! She starts to walk away. Take me with you! Oh God please no, please dont leave me here alone. She runs after my dad and I want to run after her. But I cant. Im 5 I dont know whats going on. I do as im told. I stay there and watch them both get killed! How could i just sit there and watch them both get killed?!

"Hadyn" I hear in the distance.

I look around and dont see anything. Just darkness. Am I still dreaming?

"Hadyn?!" I hear again, louder this time.

"Hadyn wake up!"
"Hadyn!"

I wake up. Im crying, Fitz is in front of me.

"Hadyn we have to go!" he yelled at me.

I stare at him confused.

"Hadyn come on! We have to go! Now!"
