The Sapphire War

It hurts...

"Wake up Emmy!" I hear My father opening my door.
"Why father it's Saturday!" I screamed in my pillow
He ran up and grabbed a suit case from under my bed.
I sat up,
"Father what are you doing?" I was so confused not knowing what was awaiting the future.
"We have to go, we have to go!" He mumbled to himself it gave me goosebumps, he grabbed my hand like I was 3 and pulled me up...
"Remember the war Emmy? That we thought would never come towards Iceland?" He was distressed, I knew what he was gonna say... when the war hit my country I was 12 so I was old enough to understand what was happening,
"It hit didn't it father.." I looked down at my dark blue hair, my hair was naturally blue for some reason, my dad said it was rare.
"Yes my love now we need to get down stairs to your brother and mother"
"Yes father"...
"Emerald please baby get over here!" My mother cried out to me as I went down the big stairs in my house, we lived in a big house kinda like a mansion.
"Mother? Elijah?" I yell out while dragging my suit case my dad packet for me."
My mom was holding my brothers hand my brother only 6 was crying of course but I felt bad me and him are really close and I love him no matter what.
"Are we all okay" my dad walked down stairs.
"Yes darling" my mother kissed his cheek while I went over and hugged Elijah.
"Do you smell that?" My dad pointed out an odd burning smell.
Then everything went black,
When I awoke, I was cradled in my fathers arms he was crying my brother was screaming for mother.
"Daddy? Where's mommy?"
I couldn't speak properly my head hurt and smoke was filling the room
My dad looked at me in horror
I got off of his chest where my head was laying, blood was there
"Father?! Why are you bleeding?!" I screamed,
"I'm not my love you are." his voice broke.
I touched my cheek and it stung like hell.
I touched my lower left cheek the same had happen, it hurt.
I saw a broken piece of mirror and held it up to myself.
Half of my cheek was gone. I was about to get sick,
I started to hyperventilate,
"Dad where's mother?" I wanted my mom badly.
"She's gone baby.." he started to burst in to tears, "Your mommy is gone."
I heard a creaking in the roof. My dad took action quick and grabbed a gas mask near him and gave it to me. He then pushed me and Elijah outside.
"I'm so so so sorry my baby," that was the last thing he ever said to me.
I put the gas mask on my brother it was a bit big for him but it worked
We walked threw the black ashes and snow. I had on a scarf and hat along with a blue shirt and heavy jacket. It was hot in the house but now it's freezing.
My brother had on the same but his jacket had fur and was red not teal. And he had a orange long sleeve, with snow boots.
"Sissy?" He said threw the mask.
"Yes Elijah?"
"When will mommy, and daddy come back?"
"I'm not sure..." I answered. I wasn't sure if my dad was dead... no I knew he wasn't dead he's strong and brave, he'll find a way out.
Then,
I heard gun shots.
My vision went blurry,
Everything was quite
Everything was red.
I awoke to my brother screaming in pain,
I tried to stand but I fell right after.
I was shot in the stomach but I still lived it wasn't to fatal.
I crawled to my brother while blood was dripping in between my fingers I finally got to him. He was shot in the chest, arm,
and leg. The one on his chest went threw his lung his screams became gasps for air.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!" I cried out he was dying
That's when I knew
Someone was watching me, I turned around after grabbing the gas mask off of my dead brothers corpse.
A large guy was holding a gun up.
"You killed him" I started to laugh, "YOU KILLED HIM!" The man grew shaky. I ran up to him
One of the most important people in my life, was dead. I didn't care if I was risking my life, I wanted that man dead.
The man who was wimpier than a 9 year old dropped the gun and fell to the floor crying
"Don't hurt me please, I just wanna live I had no choice!"
I grabbed the gun and said
"To late" I shot him with every last bullet it that pistol.
Overkill you may call it.. but I called it revenge.
I started to walk
For hours
My cheeks hurt
My stomach was still bleeding
I fainted
I then woke up in a hospital... but it was In a boat.. I was in a– wait a minute I wasn't in Iceland anymore.
I saw a nurse and she ran up and told me everything.
That I was found almost dead,
That I had surgery on my cheeks and stomach.
"Do you still have my gas mask?" I asked those words where the first words to come out of my mouth.
"Yes we thought that you should keep it just in case."
"Good it's from my father-" my cheeks started to hurt so couldn't finish my sentence.
"Oh!" She grabbed a white bored in front of me and marker, "here write don't talk."
I wrote:
My name is Emerald Jónsson (John-son)
I'm 12 in-a-half I had a brother named Elijah who died while we where trying to get away my dad gave me the mask so it is important my mother Shelly Jónsson is dead
I loved her with all my heart
I wish to be in a better country please take me there.
"We will" the nurse responded
It was 2 days before we hit America.
We went to this weird place and I saw girls who had odd clothing
A boy with a box over his head that said "UwU"
A blonde girl with a brown cloak
One with a cigarette
And one with a weird swirl on her cheek.
They ran up to me
"Hello" the boy with the box introduces himself, "I'm Venus!"
He introduced the others too,
The other girl with the cloak said she was Echo,
The one with the cigarette was Allison and the swirl girl was Jacqueline.
"I'm Emerald" I mumbled.
They where about my age so 10-13 maybe.
I think to my self
Will I finally be happy
Then a boy who was my aged tapped my shoulder and told me his name
"Hello there!" He was a bit energetic "I'm Collins I'm from America."
I finally spoke up
"I'm Emerald, from Iceland.."
My accent was like a soft Irish accent some people could have mistaken it for one but it was an Icelandic accent.
I finally thought that I found people that I would grow up with.
Elijah I hope you can see me and I hope you're happy for me,
I love you.
