Love and Warfare

Chapter 7

Luke sent a private plane to take me to my home. I haven't seen me family in two years. I miss them so much.

Before I even got to my town, I knew the invaders had already came. Houses were burning, planes were upside down and on fire, and there were no people. All the sudden all these what ifs went through my head. What if all my family is dead? What if the invaders are torturing my family?

I about passed out when the plane landed. I looked out the window and saw everything desolate. I found my house and the door was open. I walked in, and everything was destroyed. All I could do was just stand there with my mouth wide open. I ran upstairs to look in every hiding place. I came up empty. I did the same thing for the next two floors. Nothing.

All the memories shared in this house gone. The memories flooded through my head. That's when tears started to gush from my eyes. I had to pull myself together, but I just couldn't do it.

That's when I made the shocking discovery of a bright red blood trail. It looked like the person was being dragged. I followed the trail. I found an enormous fire. It was engulfing something in flames. Then it hit me. The fire was burning my family along with neighbors and friends. I fell on my knees and cried. I cried until there weren't anymore tears coming out.

Then I just ran. I had no idea where I was going. I just ran. I didn't care if I got caught or got killed. My legs gave out on me, and I just laid there for the longest time.

I heard an engine, and found a hiding spot. Someone got out. I heard my name and knew exactly who it was. "Aylia! Aylia! Where are you?" It was Drew. "Over here, Drew." I tried to wipe away my tears, but my face was still bright red. "There you are. Are you all right? You don't look so good."

"No I'm not fine. The worst thing of my life happened" Drew gave me a sympathetic looked."I know. I saw everything." I hugged him and sobbed in his shoulder."I don't understand. I knew that they would invade, but I didn't think that they would kill anyone. My home was unarmed. I never even said goodbye, Drew. This is all my fault." I had no idea how long we were standing there.

"Ssh. No it's not your fault. There was nothing you could have done to save your family. Look even if there was, Luke wouldn't have allowed you to go anyway." He gave me a smile. "Come on let's go home." He lifted me up and carried me to the plane. I must have passed out or fallen asleep because I woke up on a bed.

There was a knock on the door. Luke walked in." Hey. I heard what happened. Believe me I know how you feel. Our family will be missed." Luke was trying to make me feel better, but it wasn't working. The images were still stuck in my head.

I was being dragged from my bed onto the floor. I couldn't see my captor. I was screaming at the top of my lungs."HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY PLEASE! ANYONE HELP ME!" I could see the blood trail. I was bleeding, but from where? All the sudden it felt like me legs were on fire. I looked around, and my captor was dragging me to the fire.

I screamed. My captor threw me into the fire. I could feel the heat rising up my body. I screamed out in pain.

..............................................................................................................................

I woke up screaming. Tears were streaming down my face. Luke, Drew, and a few guards came charging through the door. "Is everything alright. I heard you screaming." Luke had a concerned look on his face. Drew sat next to me and wiped my tears away. My head was throbbing and my heart was beating. "You had a nightmare. Didn't you?" All I could was just nod my head. Tears rolling down my cheeks.

"This is all my fault. I shouldn't have sent you there in the first place. I'm so sorry." Luke looked at me with sad face. "Now try to get back to bed. I'll keep some guards in here in case it happens again."

That night I slept a little bit more peaceful, but my nightmares still came back. I didn't know how long they were going to stay that way. I would soon find out that these nightmares weren't the worse things in the world.

I would long to hear what you think, but no one does that. Feedback really helps me. I don't know when the next chapter will be. This chapter took me forever to write. I know this chapter is sad, but it may not be sad to you. Tell me how you feel. Please!
