Ever since i was little i could remember fighting. Thats just how it was, I was given the heart of desire sword when I was seven and Greg, my brother trained me to be the best fighter. When I reached twelve our mother had passed away from cancer leaving my father in despair, he killed him self. Me and Greg were heart broken, greg didnt talk too much after that leaving me the one to cheer him up, when his 15 birthday came up I put a box in a cake so i could jump out of it, but cake got in my hair so he just laughed.
After that thats when the light came, I know the light sounds good but trust me its not. Thats the whole reason why greg trained me and my dad trained Greg, so when ever the light came we could fight not run. The light burns your skin and puts you in a jar to their savior ScareCrow. If you dont move your body a certain way they can take you away forever. Greg said mom was part of the light thats why she got cancer but when ever he says that I just shrug and say thats ridiculous and hide in the cabinets.
Ever since the light came there wasnt much left. Streets were empty Swings were swinging with none swinging them, and building doors opening but no life. The light usually comes in the morning or at dawn, thats why me and greg get in the city and out as quickly as we can. My name is Isabell and this the story of The ScareCrow
Chapter One
"SCRREEEEEEEEEEEEE" The Light screeched as I cut my sword into the mist. I winced and sheilded my eyes as the sand surrounded me "GREG!?" i dared to open my mouth to call my brother but all I got was a mouth full of sand. "ISABELL WATCH OUT" I turned around and saw a light coming down from the clouds searching. I fell on my back and scrambled under the shade where my brother was. He pointed to a hole in the wall and pushed me through it. After the light destroyed everything holes became your friend, cracks in the wall are you allies and broken wndows are your best friend.
I looked around to where the hole led us and then I felt my brother behind me. The whole wall was just a giant window. My brother and I looked out the window as the methane sky turned darker and night captured everything. I blew a kiss and sighed "well I guess we're safe for now right?" Greg smiled at me and pointed to a beaten up couch in the middle of the room "here you sleep somewhere comfy for once" I looked at him in confusion "and let you sleep on this hard concrete floor, no way"
Greg just laughed at me in that "you really think you call the shots?" tone and threw his backpack on the floor. I growled slightly and put my bag on the couch, as I opened my bag a few pictures fell out, i left them there and took my water bottle. I began my search for a bathroom and found one in a hallway next to the room me and greg were staying in. I took my sword out from its scabbard and got ready incase anything jumped at me.
I heard nothing Except Greg snoring, i poured some water on my hands over the sink and washed my face. I looked up at the mirror and frowned at my looks, I have light brown fluffy hair that goes down into knots down my back, vibrant olive eyes- well used to be vibrant considering they dulled and they now have bags under them. I was about to wash up more until i heard a woosh of wind and flash of yellow.
By instinct I took out my sword and slowly stepped out of the bathroom cautiously, i walked out of the hallway and peeked into the room Greg was in. Standing over him was a girl wearing a short white dress, her hair was a pale blonde and her skin was almost pale as paper but with a hint of pink. Before she could look up I lunged at her with my sword
