The War That Killed The World

Chapter 1

First chapter! Yay! -pwetty pwease vote and comment, I know I hate people telling me what to do, but it will show me that you want more of my book. I know I want to write more! Haha, I'm up to chapter ten in advance.

(Unedited, I know there are a lot of editing freaks out there, my mum is one, but you can nicely comment and let me know my mistakes if you wish :) I will edit though- promise!)

I felt the water gushing down my back, swirling my waist and beginning its long journey back down again. My skin prickles at every touch and I squirm and give a quick screech every time it hits the sides of my body and my stomach, racing painfully slow. I dip my head back and let the cold, ice chilling and aching water run down my hair as it slips onto my back again.

I shudder and my whole body makes an out of control twist. My eyes shut tight as I finishing washing. The bone chilling water coils my stomach like a snake taking its preys life with no pity, only leaving a cold, empty, heartless shadow behind. I don't even have a towel to wrap my frail, long forgotten body around.

I am stuck here, I feel like an empty, hollow shell. No one to help me, no one to keep me on my feet, and the people who I share in a cell with aren't much help. The only thing I can cling onto is the smallest, draining thread of hope. Draining with every second that goes by. My mum will come for me, she will.

Mum and her dragon Lessberae with the rest of the N.A.U. I cling to my body tight, as I slip down into a cold, hard, dusty and large, metal cage corner infested with mosquitoes and other blood sucking creatures. No where to hide from them. My body constantly scratches itself as bites become infected.

As my body dries a little I slip my clothes back on, aka filthy, wreaking rags. The M.E are heartless especially to me. I have a number of minutes to wash and dry before they literally drag us back out to our cell to eat revolting, gut wrenching food. It's made to make you vomit, but thats the only food we get so we have to eat it back up. I shudder at the thought. But we've all given up now, were all just waiting for our deaths to come.

I hear a woman scream outside as a whip cracks on her dry already burnt and cracked skin, I hear the door screech open and she is thrown in here just as I was. We stare into each other's lost, mindless and mad eyes with no trace of hope at all. Then I am hauled back out and into another blood sucking room.

The jail keeper gives me a sick grin "i hear its torcher night for you" he says gleefully and I give a slight hopeless groan. He pinches my ear and whispers softly in a pity voice "I'm sorry, what did you say?" I just stare into him with hate eyes and say nothing. He slaps my ears and they start ringing but I hardly notice, I just want to hurt this man "I'm sorry, what did u say?" He says in the same tone but louder.

Well life cant get much worse now, I think and before I can help myself, I inhale painfully and spit right in his eye. The others for the first time in this horrible week and probably the last time in their life, they try to hide their laughter. He screeches and that makes everyone laugh harder. As he goes to wipe his eye his grip falters and that little bit of hope, longing, hate and training forces me into my next move.

I punch his head and turn to the side as he gives a stunned punch to where I was. He is much stronger than I am, faster too and I cant think properly but I have to try. I give a fake kick and grab a metal pole beside me and swing it down hard but he grabs it and grins. "Stupid little girl" he sneers but in his distraction I kick his wrist where all his strength is holding the pole and use his focus on that to twist. I turn with the pole but he's strong so instead of him letting go it just stays. Damit. He throws a punch and it hits me hard in the shoulder and my vision starts going black. I scream and I slowly get up but he thinks he is going to win and wants to torment me so he lets me get up. "I will enjoy killing the riders daughter, rider assassinator... nice title don't you think?"

I give a frustrated groan and kick him again, and right where he's vulnerable but not too hard because as soon as I do that I make the momentum for the twist again and he isn't ready, and is groaning painfully at his crotch. So instead he's lost his footing and gone with the pole. I take the advantage and bash him right into the metal wall, he falters and I repeatedly in bash him with the metal pole. Breathe in, breathe out my vision goes blurry from using lots of my strength.

I drop the pole and collapse on the ground and feel the cold floor beneath me. The adrenaline shoots down my body and I give a slight turn of my head to look at the man. He's in a massive puddle of blood and his skull is a little pushed in. I think he's done I finally whisper to myself. I start to shake as I stand up. I just can't believe I did that. I've killed people before but this time I feel sick and turn my head the other way as I snatch the keys and turn to my other 7 jail friends "this is our chance! Come on!" I tell them and they just give me shocked, stunned faces but my brain doesn't process it and I rush straight to the lock and free them, but my hands are wobbling and it takes me a minute before I finally undo it.

"Come on shari, the food person will come before we get out of this cell, let alone this place." Said a man in a droopy voice. "I heard them saying when they thought I was uncontentious in the torcher chamber, that The Lord is coming tonight when u are going in there Shari, so he will be here soon-..." a small pale woman says but I cut her off. "So that means were not in a main camp! Its not a large one so it will have less people" I exclaim as my trained brain starts ticking and four of our companions just shake their head in fright.

"what if we get found?" One girl two years older than me squeaked. "Well if u just want to sit here and die that's your choice, but those who want freedom come with me, by the time mum will get here, we will probably be dead and it will be too late." I throw the keys on the ground and turn away. They all shift and start towards me and beg me to let them out. I sighed and we all shuffled out and crept to the end of the hallway.

I can't believe we are going to try and escape, what would happen if they find us? Everyone already hates me, why should they trust me?
