The dream maker

chapter 23 : human rights watched

" I cannot deny the feeling " a voice so loud came from a huge commercial screen hanged at a shopping mall , everyone in the street stood silent and looked either at that screen or at any television at every corner , at every electronics store and at every house , Roy was struk looking as well at the big screen through the window , it was the vice president of the native's (or what's left of them ) population , the head master of a government that should have joined it's resistance against the occupiers instead of trying to calm things down over the years by crooked promises and embellished lies ,

" the feeling of change " , he completed , " we were all promised a better life ...... we were all promised with a life to be honest ..... for this siege to be broken ...... we all were promised freedom ..... to be treated like humans ..... to sleep without worrying if our houses are going to be bombed upon us and the bodies of our innocent children at any moment ...... to never starve ....... to never be deprived of water ..... yet here we are ... it is a heavy heart I hold within ... for ..... I am the one who gave those promises ... " he said looking half dead with red eyes , everyone was looking shocked and speechless , even more shocked to see the president getting out a gun and pointing it at his head then .... Bang !

Everyone was astounded , some let out feeble screams but most were struck so hard they just can't believe that this just happened , the camera that was pointed at him hastily turned off to black , but as soon as it did ...a v mask appeared , all the screens were flickering and grainy , and the voice wasn't clear as well , though everyone heard it for they have fell silent as a ghost town , and it echoed many times all the way between the alleys and beneath the ruins ...

" good evening my dearly beloveds , as you heard just now ... it is time to change , it is time to set things right , and to reveal all the faces in this silly masquerade ... , it is time to rise above all the threats and fear that should have been sent off many years ago ... this is in the interest of all those who were promised ..."

as he said this , the sirens of war began reverberating deafening screams ....

" Now we have the power to turn the tables once in for good , there is no longer a reason to be afraid of ..... this is a message ... a warning .... Our first step towards the independency of our new land , towards a bright future , free of all those who refuse to believe that this land is ours , my fellow new comers ... it is time to clear our new promised land of all the natives ... hand in hand , we will be the rightful owners of everything they stole ... this is ... a chance .... For those natives to leave this country forever , to perish anywhere else ... or else ... this last district of theirs , will become ashes .... Moving towards any other district that house the next highest population of despicable natives ... so my dear brothers and sisters ... help us .. to drive all natives out from the body of our nation through the heart of their last standing district , and to prove im not joking ... the supreme court will be demolished in three ... two... one ..... , "
All eyes gazed upon the supreme courthouse at the top of the hill , they were waiting anxiously then shuddered when the whole house was bombed from the bottom up and turned to a pile of dust and hopless fear ... now they feel it ... the danger ... the fear that made a mother grasp her little boy and tell him everything is okay ,

Klaus was calm in one way ,spoke with a completely calm voice , like giving a lecture or a plan , that seemed to work perfectly

Roy was listening while his logic went absolutely shattered to the lowest ground , " what the hell is the matter with Klaus!!! He is standing with the occupiers against us !!!"

he was trying to slip his hands loose from the rope all this time , when he finally did , he jumped and smashed the chair at the guy who was guarding the door , the next thing he realized that he was throwing punches as hard as he can and taking punches and hits in return but the adrenaline in his body kept the situation numb and vague .. he got out , leaning Tyler's arm around his neck and running downstairs as fast as he could possibly go , rushing into another dorm room at ground level that he found opened and hiding in it seemed like the best plan , while a couple of the fraternity members completed their way out thinking that they have as well , then realizing that they have lost track of them, they went back ..

Roy knew that he have to act fast and that there isn't time to absorb or to rest because it's a certainty that Luka is going to send more and more searching for them , because he have snatched his phone back , and now Luka defiantly wants them dead , but as he was calming his breath down , the pain started to burn in his shoulder , leg and everywhere else , he looked at his shoulder and it was all bloody , his leg slightly under the knee as well , he was shot ... he was tired .... He could barely open his eyes , looking down at Tyler , who held his gun tight in his hand , he realized that the old man's leg was broken , and a bullet went through his thie ... he freaked out confused rather hopeless , looking behind him as he sat on the floor back against the door , there was a girl holding a knife with both hands towards them , obviously she was afraid , Roy raised his hand trying to calm her down " please , I'm not gonna hurt you , please help me " he stuttered and shuddered while blood dripped from his hand

Luckily for Roy , the girl was a nurse student , and even more lucky he was when she lowered the knife and decided to help them both even though she ,as well, got the dream everyone else did about him . Roy's vision was blurry at first , but after she mended his wounds as well as Tyler's , he realized she was Tabatha Kain , the same nurse whom Roy spoke with about the dreams he'd been having the other night and the one who brought up the dream catcher idea ,

" I never knew you go here " spoke Roy at last ,

" well that's normal for a stranger , " she answered coldly , " I take a training course at the university's hospital " she proceeded a while after

"what are you doing ?"

" packing my bags , what does it look like I'm doing ? ! "

" why what's going on ? "

" SERIOUSLY ? haven't you heard the warning that was given for us if we don't leave town ? , everyone is heading towards the borders , everyone is running away ! "

" everyone ? "

"well , all the people who care about their families and children are , the resistance refuses to comply , along with other civilians who decided to die in their land than to run away "

" and you are running away ? "

" I have a family of my own , my little sister and brother "

Roy took his phone up , looked at it wondering why the fraternity members never found him ... maybe they don't need the phone anymore , maybe now they can contact Klaus from the computer they plugged it in as well ,

He turned it on to see a digital watch ... counting down , forty three hours , twenty minutes and 24 seconds ,

" it's the time natives have to leave from everywhere in the country to this last district then to the borders ... " explained Tabatha

" this is ridiculous ! , a lot will be left behind , it isn't enough ! what the hell is wrong with Klaus !! " he shouted in disgust , thence he got up , woke Tyler up and limped to the door with a firm look on his face

" where are you going ? " asked the nurse

" I'm going to get my freind , Ed , then my mother , and try to cross them out of the borders , "

" then what ?"

" I don't know... if I'm lucky enough to do these first , I'll think of what's next . "

" I'm coming with you , I need a ride to my place " she said dragging her small suitcase behind .
