New Beginning

The End

I was running, i don't know what i was running from but i just felt fear like i had never felt before.
The sweat, it was dripping off me.
The sky was a fiery red, my vision was blurry.
I woke up panting, short of breath sweating like crazy.
I climbed out of my tent, looked around, everything seemed normal
It was just a bad dream again.
I must of slept in, the camp site was empty and my friends must of packed up and left.
Hopefully not, i didn't feel like walking home on this hot summers day, it must of been 40 degrees.
I put my swimmers on and a light dress, an walked down to the beach, running on the hot sand to the cold waters edge.
It was strange, something didn't feel right, i took my dress off and jumped in the water, it was amazing
But even the water felt warm.
I dived under and cleared my mind feeling my anxiety leave me.
But that didn't last for long, the next thing i new i was swimming in blood, i let out a scream.
Starting to panic i looked around and there was no body around me.
I ran out of the water and grabbed my dress, panicking i looked out at the ocean trying to find the blood sauce because it wasn't coming from me.
There was a small boat out on the horizon, maybe it was people spear fishing, I wasn't sure. I started walking back up to camp hoping my friends or someone was there.
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea going camping where i hadn't been before.
There was still no one there, i put my dress back on grabbed my bag and started to walk towards the road trying to find somebody.
I just had a bad feeling in my gut, and those feeling i stuck by.
I found myself in a open field, i felt lost and confused, slightly covered in blood still,
There was a couple tents set up but no one there
'Hello? Is anyone here' i asked
No answer, i kept walking
I could smell patrol polluting the forest, this was not right.
I kept walking which felt like hours,
I could hear something..
It was a car!
Maybe i hadn't been left behind.
'Hello?' I screamed, i waited.
And waited.
The sound engine got louder, i walked towards it.
There was an unfamiliar 4wd drive ute idling, i took a deep breath and walked slowly up to the ute.
Hoping it was the ranger, coming to collect camping fees.
'Excuse me, what are you doing here?'
A young male called out to me, he came out of no where, he must of been a couple years older then me.
He was gorgeous, he had dark brown hair almost black and olive skin.
'I was camping' i started ' but i have been left here, and i think I'm lost and I'm covered in someone or something's blood' i started to panic even more.
'Calm down' he approached me 'this area has been shut of to the general public, you need to get out of here and go home to your family' he seemed a bit worried himself.
He looked me up and down.
I felt so embarrassed, i looked a mess, i haven't looked at myself the last couple days, i had no service on my phone so i couldn't contact anyone.
'Do you know where the closest road is? Or a phone i could borrow?'
I asked, trying to be cute.
'There is no time to waste miss, ill give you a lift into town'.
He opened the door to his ute for me,
I jumped out with out thinking.
And then it hit me.
What is going on?
Who is this
He jumped in the ute and the next thing i new we where off.
'Thank you, my name's Everlyn Jones by the way' i introduced myself.
He just smiled, and then we where on the beach heading north.
'I'm Lucas Peters, now lets get you home, you need to spend as much time with your family as you can'
He still seemed worried.
Then the smell of death came, i gagged.
There was a dead whale washed up on the beach.
'Oh my god!' I gasped,
'He must of got himself beached, i wish i saw him earlier' i continued.
And then sadness hit me, i did not have family, my parents had passed when i was a little girl, i lived by myself.
'What is going on?' I asked.
He didn't respond.
Then a massive explosion went off in the sand dunes.
Metres behind us, i started feeling dizzy, my ears where screaming.
I looked out to the ocean, and all i could see was a missile coming towards us.
I screamed and covered my ears, panicking, not sure what to do.
Lucas put his foot down on the excelerator, and we took off down the beach running trying to get away from the impact.
This time the missile hit closer to us, sending the us flying in the car, time just left me.
I was upside down, blood running down my face, i looked around trying to see Lucas. He was passed out next to me, 'Lucas? Answer me please,' i pushed on his shoulder.
Great, i thought this is just what i need.
My head was spinning, i could feel my sight leaving me.
Don't give up. I told myself.
I unplugged my seat belt and fell into the roof of the car.
Pain ran up my shoulder and down my back.
I climbed out of the smashed car window.
Smoke was coming out of the engine, the heat was unbearable.
Then adrenaline hit me, there will be more missiles coming.
We where under attack.
I pushed myself up, and ran to Lucas side of the car, he was to young to die.
I took off his seat belt, he fell down like i had,
I grabbed him under the shoulders and pulled him with all my strength out of the car and as far back into the dunes as quick as i could.
He had a massive gash coming out of his leg,
Oh dear, then i vomited all over myself.
But it wasn't time to rest, i ripped the sleeve of his shirt off and started wrapping it around the wound.
I dragged him up, putting his arm around my shoulder i limped us away from the beach not looking back.

My dreams where coming true.
