A bright green ball that appeared to be electric hit the school with A large bang. We ran as fast as we could to get home we knew that school was no longer safe for we were under attack by the covenant. There were soon three more shots of plasma at the school each hitting a different part. I ran to where a staircase used to be but all that was there was the outside and in he ground layered brick and ash with a few students lifeless bodies laying there. We had little time to weep for our friends for the shells of plasma were more frequent and we did not want join our friends in death. We found another staircase down the hall and got down it as the last person got down the staircase was no more. We ran to the nearest exit in a panic. We get outside to see elites brutes and grunts in the distance in town beginning their assault. We each dispersed and ran in different directions all that was on my mind Is finding my sister and parents. Graces school was close enough to run to in five minutes. I ran in and went to my sisters classroom to see no one. I looked around under desks and in the closet, nothing. I ran down the hall to find she had been hurt by the explosion and knocked out . A heavy piece of concrete was laying on her leg prohibiting movement. I lifted it with ease and checked her pulse and picked her up over my shoulders as my dad had taught me to. I ran outside to see the bodies in multiple states of dismay scattered around the ground the bodies of children with large gashes in their heads. Some torn in half with intestines spewed everywhere. The image of a little girl who's head was smashed by a fallen column still haunts me. She was holding a small teddy bear. "God who would do this?" I asked. I knew the answer to my question...everyone did. The covenant.
