The Centauran Wars.

Alexis story pt2

Two weeks have passed. Every day feels longer as I sit in these cells. My cellmate looks at me and hands me a makeshift knife.

He looks into my eyes as he hands me the knife. "At 8 p.m. This whole place is going to light up. Either we make it, or we die. This is your only weapon. Know where you hit. And be watchful of snipers. We have only one chance." He says

"I understand," I say as I look down at the knife.

8pm.

The first camp begins to attack in a hurry. Then the second. Then mine. I slam the cell Doors as they burst open. I run out and tie a shirt around my face as a mask as fire erupts from different camps.

Corvun guards run in but are not met with hundreds. But thousands of men. We run forward, tackling them down as everyone begins to gut them.

I take the guard's mace, another takes his rifle, and another takes his gernade. The other corvuns retreat and slam the exit of the prison shut. As more and more guards arrive,.

Whoever is left inside was left. We run across the yard, looking for guards. There's about 30 left in here.

In a matter of seconds, most of them are cut down. I managed to get a rifle. The rest of the guards hide themselves in the armory. About 7 in there.

"Let none live!! Break down that door!!!" Someone yells. My cellmate grabs my shoulder and points to some bunks.

We run to it and try to pull them off. Other prisoners join us as we pull the bunk bed off the screws and slam it on the armory doors.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

And the door fell. The armory gets swarmed, and all you hear are the screams of the Corvun soldiers as they beg for mercy.

But there is no mercy here. I was one of the last to go in, and the sight to see is horrifying.

All I can say is Their heads looked like smashed watermelon. I grab some ammo from the armory and walk out. Only about 40 of us are armed with guns. The rest use maces and shivs.

I look up at the sky, and then. My cellmate's head explodes.

"Sniper!! Take cover!!" Someone yells

I run and hide behind some crates as I cock the gun. After watching how the guards use it, I have somewhat of an idea of how it works.

I aim at the guard tower and fire, and the sniper returns fire. Then I hear him yell in pain as he engulfs in flame. I look to my side to see prisoners holding molotovs.

I see some prisoners grabbing the bunk bed we used to break down the armory doors as they charge for the gate. Other prisoners come to help, and I run forward as they slam the gate down. 1 more gate to go.

We grab the bunk bed again and slam it once more. Again. And again, the last gate falls. And we're met with heavy gunfire as the corvuns have set up a final defense.

With no reinforcements coming any time soon for either side, It's become a battle over who breaks first. And I'll be damned if we lose.

Prisoners throw molotovs. And the ones with guns stay behind. I was lucky enough to have a gun. We have to cover our boys while they charge into corvun lines.

Gunfire covers the area, and our boys drop like flies, but they don't stop pushing.

"Last offensive. We either all make it or we all die!!"

A loud roar erupts in the area as we all charge into corvun lines.

I shoot a gunner on it and charge forward with the rest. Men die one by one, but our sheer numbers eventually overwhelm them.

And then everyone spreads out. All escaping in different directions.

I go with a group of people as they hijack a car. I get on the back and help as many people as possible. Then we drive off.

A few days pass. We cross the old border and rally, managing to find our comrades.


After a few days, we make it to the front. Covuns pushed deep, and it seems we might have another problem.

I walk through the trenches as I ask men after men.

"Have you seen Ronnie? A tall blonde fella."

"No.. well.. actually yes.. but your a bit too late.. he's been shipped to another frount.."

I sigh, say thank you to the man, and walk away. I try to walk out of the trench but get pulled back in.

"You can't leave," someone says.

I groan in annoyance and keep walking around the trench.. my thoughts feel like it's getting distorted.. suddenly I'm in costal battery Q then.. with Alice.. then in the trenches.

I faint, and I fall down. I later wake up as a medic sits next to me. He says

"Don't lose yourself here.. You're lucky to be here. Most people just go insane."

"I need to find Ronnie and.. alice.." I say


"Kid. That Ronnie fella is probably dead. And that Alice of yours is getting fucked by another man. Your on the frount kid, get used to it." He says.

I stare at him, then sit up as I rub my head. Yes, I'm in the frount. I need to get my head straight.

I look up and see artillery exploding as my officer yells, "Battle positions!!"

I run and cock my gun as I prepare to hold this trench.

Here we go again.
