Burning Impulse

Breaking walls

They say grief occurs in five stages. First, there’s denial, followed by anger. Then comes bargaining, and depression.

For most, the final stage of grief is acceptance. But for me, grief is a life sentence without clemency. I will never accept and I will never forgive, not even after the man who took my father lies dead at my feet.

"Lets go" Aiden wispers in my ear waking me up from my dreamless slumber.

last night Aiden slept on the floor.

after our fight.

It was so cold. Well it is November. I yurned for his warmth and comfort.

Luna slept on the bed with her head at my feet.

She didn't mind and we gave her a blanket.

and a pillow.

"Is every thing packed up?" I ask in my rusty morning voice.

"Yes I packed us all a back pack so that if we get separated we'll have enough to survive"

"Whats the plan?" I ask sitting up, and rubbing my eyes.

"Well first we can go get water and the go to the airport and catch a flight to new york were there holding your father." He tells me

"how do you know were he is?" I ask

He looks as if he's said something he shouldnt have said.

"Well, its just a hunch I guess." He says trying to cover himself.

"Your a bad lier." I squint my eyes at him.

"I cant tell you at this moment." he states.

"Well your going to have to tell me sooner or later." I tell him.

He nods his head and we both

get up and he wakes Luna. I grab my pack, and hand Aiden his.

When Luna wakes up I hand her, her backpack.

We walk out the door not looking back. We have every weapon and piece of food in hand.

Aiden also gives Luna her bow and throughing knifes back.

He pulls out a map to try and find some water.

We find a farely large lake near the airport.

When we get there it starts to down poor.

We wash our hands, face and drink till we're full, not caring about he parasites.

We risk our life every day now. The only thing we can choose is what we risk it for.

Suddenly on the horizion we see people. They start runing towards us, We quicky realize that there are red belts.

Aiden grabs my hand and pulls me into th muddy water. Ahhh its so cold.

Aiden pull out an old tube that looks like it belongs to a car.

He puts one end above water and the other under water.

Then he puts his mouth on the end in the water.

He blows out all the water thats in the tube an sucks in a breath ful then hands it to me and I do the same.

He holds my hand tight almost

to tight my fingers have gone numb.

After 20 minutes it seems,(even tough it was ony like 10) He comes up from the water checing for the red belts. He grabs my arm to tell me too come up. We look around but only hear someone yell "WHERE ARE THE OTHER TWO?!" It must be one of the red belts.

"I just know they ran in the woods!" I hear a shrill voice say.

Luna, they got Luna.

After we're shure there gone, we dry of and lean against a tree. Looking out onto the pasture holding the lake. We watch the sun set on a eventful day.

"it will be ok, i promise" He squeezes my sholder.

I pull away looking at him in a serious manner.

"Aiden, how can you say that? Everyones gone."

"What are you talking about im still here?"

He says wiping a tear from my eye.

"My mom. Gone.

My brother, Gone.

My friends, Gone.

My country, MY LIFE

GONE everything is GONE!
