The Journey

Chapter 5

I stopped breathing.

That is the district I live in......Crud.......Wait, what about grandpa....He was on his way home!

I started to panic. My breathing got ragged, my heart stopped. I'm haven't felt this way for years. Megan, Joshi, and Jasumin wore similar faces. Well, Megan was kind of in a trance.

"W-We...The stables!" said Joshi. Megan then snapped out of her trance. "Hato!" she screamed. "I LEFT HATO AT THE STABLES!!"

We all got our stuff, and practically flew out of the door. While me and Megan were getting our bikes untangled, Joshi and Jasumin hopped on Rubi and flew ahead. I got my bike untangle, and wasted no time getting on it and heading down the road. Megan soon followed behind me, and we were off. You could hear and feel in the distance, bombs crashing and exploding on the earth. It was pretty scary. A bomb exploded somewhere near us. I could see the scarlet red of blood near the blast. The orange of the fire seemed to be a hungry beast that was once was stalking prey, to now feasting on it. The crimson and orange seemed to get ever so closer, and as if we would stop, it would swallow us whole. We finally made it there, only to see Joshi there first as usual.

"Megan! Kuro! We got most of the dragons out, we got to get out of here!"

"What about Hato!?!"

"Well if you would turn around you would see!"

At that moment, Megan turned to find her beloved dragon.....being attacked by hunters. Megan took no time turning around and running at them. Joshi had several attempts trying to stop her, but to no avail.

"Get off her!" she shrieked, throwing rocks at them. The hunters simply turned, and charge at us.

"MEGAN YOU IDIOT!!" Jasumin shouted. She ran up to her and grabbed her arm, then ran back, scolding Megan the entire way. Once they reached us, we started to run away. Joshi and Jasumin hopped on Sukauto, while me and Megan were forced to run. Corner after corner, we ran, never stopping to look back.

Well, until we ran into a corner.

At this point of time, Megan was crying. Losing Hato seemed to be a little too much for her. I tried to shush her, tried to keep her quite, but to no avail. She kept sobbing and sobbing, to the point where I couldn't do anything about it. I knew where this was leading, Megan did too. That was one reason she was crying.

We were gonna get caught.

Whether it was the hunters or humans.

We were gonna get caught.

Jasumine's Pov.

I look down at the fire cover stables. We were currently looking for survivors. And when I say survivors I mean Kuro and Megan. Joshi had a very worried and sad face, but she kept pushing on.

They have to be somewhere. They can't be de-

"Look!" Joshi said. "Down there!" I averted my gaze downward. Two figures were running towards something.

"That must be them!"

"Well, No dip Sherlock!"

Joshi then angled Rubi down, causing us to fly downward. We landed and quickly hopped off.

"Kuro! Megan!" They ignored us.

"Guys! Are you....ok?" Once again they ignored us. I took a step closer.

"Guys...?" Joshi muttered. Then she realized. "Jasumin! Get back!" she shouted.

The figures turn to show their hideous faces.

Hunters.

They were hunters.
