When Skies Fall... (Falling Skies Fanfic)

Chapter 2

I wake up to find Maggie rummaging around the room.

"Morning. What are you looking for?" I ask as I stretch and climb out of bed.

"Oh my left glove," she says holding up her left hand and wriggling her fingers a bit.

"Oh," I say and grab some new clothes. A black shirt like my other one but this has elbow length sleeves.

"Never mind, I found it," she says and puts her left glove on that was under her pillow. She puts it on as she walks out the door of our bedroom. I open a draw and pull out a pair of black jeans that are also tight around my ass and legs. I throw on my black jacket and combat boots and walk to the dining hall. Breakfast is once again oatmeal but I'm so hungry it doesn't matter.

I eat with the usual, Tom, Matt, Ben, Lelia, Dai and Lourdes. Hal and Maggie are on sentry duty, again. When I'm finished I don't have anything to do, so I grab my rifle and go to the shooting range that we've made a few hundred metres from the school.

I'm practicing when I feel arms wrap around me and hold my gun a bit higher and more to the left.

"If you hold it up a bit and more to the left you'll have a better and more clean shot at shooting it straight through the head," I hear a voice behind me and the arm move back to their owner's side.

I shoot and sure enough the bullet goes straight into the cardboard skitters head.

"Thanks Ben," I say smiling and turning around. He has his gun situated behind him with the strap going across the front of his body. His jeans are loose and he's wearing a dark moss green t-shirt, along with a leather jacket. At the particular moment he looks amazingly hot. Snap out of it Hayden, I say to myself.

"I appreciate the pointers," I say and sling my rifle over my head and put it behind me, just letting it hang.

"Are you going to stay out here?" I ask as I walk away.

"Something like that," He replies and takes his first shot. It goes straight between the cardboard skitters eyes. He doesn't need practice, he just shot a skitter dead straight between the eyes. So if not to come out here to practice shooting, why bother at all?

When I get back to the school instead of going to get some lunch I decide to go back to my shared room and have a sleep before sentry duty tonight. But before I even get in my room, I hear Dai yelling my name and in a rush saying we need to get to Captain Weaver's office. He's running fast down the hallway and I follow quickly afterwards. People make way but I can see they're anxious and want to know what's going on. When we get to Captain Weaver's office a man dressed in army gear is standing their arguing with Tom. Lelia is standing their watching with Captain who is trying to break them apart.

"What's going on?" I ask Lelia. She looks at me then back to her dad.

"This man is Terry Clayton, he's from the seventh mass. He wants to take all the kids twenty and under to a place about a half days walk from here. There are skitters and mechs coming to the school and he told us we have direct orders to send anyone under twenty with him where they'll be safe. Until the third mass shows up here, then we join up head the where ever this guy here wants to take us and make our way to where ever we're going," she says while watching her dad and this man arguing the whole time.

"You have direct orders," the man says and looks at Captain.

"Back down Clayton," Captain says and Clayton does as he's told.

Captain dismisses us apart from Clayton who he wants to have words with. I head outside to Dai and Anthony.

Tom's there with them along with Hal.

"I'll go out five miles," Dai says sitting on a motorbike. "Two shots means friendlies. Three shots means..."

"Not so friendly," Hal finishes for him. Dai starts up the bike and zooms off. That's the last thing I remember before I saw a civilian man approach Tom and say, "What's this about sending our kids out ahead of us?"

Ok so I know it'd not that good but it's getting there. It's exactly 10:30 pm over here in New Zealand, so sorry if it's not that good. Anyway I think things are going to heat up between Ben and Hayden. Comment below and tell me what you guys think. Picture of Hayden to the side :]

I used a lot of dialog out of season 1 episode 6. So those parts are not mine.
