Ghostly Heart

1- War

Daylight crept as the sun peeked over the horizon line. Boats skim the surface of the sand before soldier after soldier leaps onto the cold sand before them. Pouncing off the boat I stumble, adjusting my grip onto my gun, scrambling to cover with Raven behind me. We hide behind dry bushes and vines hanging from the tall palms that towered over us, not long after gunfire's were already echoing the seems. Must've spotted us, I can't think of any other reason why a bullet would be skimming my dark blue hair from the other side. I shuffle through the bush and start rapid firing at the other side, ravens only doing the same. I giggle as I watch them drop into the sand, only been half an hour an I've shot so many already. Raven squints an eye as she targets very precise, the look on her face proves that this is no game to her... only if I could say the same about myself though. 

I jump over bushes to scramble into the forestry, reloading before I rapidly shoot at the tall soldiers wearing dark green pair of clothes with helmets.. where's my helmet?! I want a snazzy helmet like them! I roll along the ground only to slide into a ditch where I can get better shots, my heart thumps hearing footsteps behind me. I shot around to see who it was aiming my gun at them- it's only raven. I lower my gun giving her the glare before turning back around to continue shooting, she giggles as she whips out a blade slicing an approacher nearby. I laugh watching her struggle against a shooter, she prances around trying to avoid his bullets, I aim steadily so I don't get raven and fire. I look up seeing a gun sliding along the grassy floor. She lets out a puff of air before picking up his gun and taking his bullets. She puts away her sword and goes with her sniper rifle again "I'll stick to this" she puffs as she kneels beside me. I peep through the bushes to continue firing, although it's been a couple of minutes she's already killed more than I have. You'd think that I would from being raised in the military camp under the name of the general chief, nah she's just got the gift of great aiming. Moments last as the sun fades away into pure darkness.

Raven and I evacuate back to a camp being set up, we got a far distance away so the camp was already built when we got there. Moonlight was the only thing being used so we don't get given away from a flame or fire pit. In the ditch I rest up in, I grab out a biscuit they packed watching the waves crash upon each other. I sigh in relaxation finishing the cookie, I adjust my position to get more comfortable in the long leaves and sand. Only to get scared right out of that comfort by a dumb black haired girl who likes to scare me! "Gah- you'll pay one day, Raven!" I growl trying to get comfy again, she giggled as she nudges me sitting beside me. She looks out the sea as she zones out, I look over at her. Observing her round brown eyes looking at the moons reflection glimmer in them, I can't help but think... what if one of us dies in this war. As much as I love fighting and shooting to protect the land I call home, it's so scary at the fact that we could die so easily. It's not fair, but nothing is. I'm just lucky to still be living, even if I'm only 16. She looks back at me interlocking our brown orbs, I poke my tongue at her giggling. She just shakes her head laughing herself looking back at the ocean. She grabs out a cookie from her pocket and starts munching away at the crumbling grains, I lay down onto the sand and leaves. Drifting away to the sounds of waves...

Heyyyy It's siren! Sorry I'm back from a year ago, I wrote this story a year ago but I've decided to rewrite it. I wasn't happy with what I did beforehand and my writing skills were weak. Since then I've improved and hopefully created it to be more engaging: hopefully anyways. Well I hope you enjoyyyyyyy, and if I could do something to improve just lemme know~ For now! I'll keep writing and not just abandon it for a year and never come back :,) hehe I'll try to anyways.
Cyaaa~
