It started with a soft rumble. The ground shook. The windows began to shatter. Jax snapped from his sleep as he held his palms up preventing the sunlight from shining into his eyes. He watched the windows cracked forming visible spider-web patterns. Picking his back pack up, Jax hurried towards Alex, patting the younger boy on his shoulder waking it up. Alex startled from his sleep, his blue eyes looked directly into Jax's brown ones as he pushed himself up upon feeling he vibration of the building. The sunlight was slowly disappearing. The rumble was stronger than before.
"We need to get out of here, Alex. Come on." Jax shouted.
Both the boys raced down the building, steadying themselves as they both held onto the rail by the side scrambling down the flight of stairs. Jax ran ahead with Alex following him by the side heading towards the main door as they exited the building only to come face to face with a huge lightning struck right towards the ground a few inches in front of them. Jax pulled Alex backwards urging the boy to stand up. His brown eyes looked around for anything, perhaps a vehicle but there was none. They were all destroyed into pieces or either useless.
The nearest broken bicycle was sucked up into the air as the thunders began to rumble, lightning struck causing the lands ahead to burst into horrifying flames. It began to gather around like a huge ball of sand. Everything was sucked up harshly. Wasting no more time, Jax and Alex both ran to the left behind the other tall buildings as they watched the rest of the materials being sucked up mercilessly. The storm was getting larger, forming into a huge cylindrical tube getting bigger and bigger as it sucked up more things. Thunder began to rumble in the skies as another lightning flashed down to the left breaking the building into half and lit the grounds on fire.
Alex pulled Jax closer to him as they both raced hurriedly towards the opposite direction heading towards a garage. There was a rail near the stairs and a huge wall to prevent them from being sucked up into the whirlpool of thunder and unwanted materials. Jax held onto the rail as Alex directed him too. They both held close to each other preventing the wind from pulling them ahead. The coldness had been seeping through their clothes into their skin. It was cold, but the heat from the nearby fire was a little welcoming. Jax began to wonder if this would be the end of his life.
"Hey, Jax!" Alex shouted gaining attention from the older boy, "If I die..."
"No! No! Don't be melodramatic out of a sudden! No one is dying, Alex! Shut up!" Jax shouted in return hitting the boy on his arm as he tightened his grip on the rail as another gush of wind blew through their direction.
"No! You listen to me!" Alex shouted holding onto Jax's gloved palms tightly, "I want you to keep surviving alright! Promise me!"
"What are you talking about?! Stop talking nonsense! I am not Jack and you are not Rose! I am not doing that! Mind you this is not an acting interview! Damn you, Alex!" Jax mumbled, his voice rose as he leaned down onto the back of Alex's jacket preventing the dust from flying into his face and eyes. Jax flinched as he heard another lightning struck not far from where they were probably just a few meters ahead of them.
Alex chuckled, his head turned, his blue eyes looked backwards at the older man who was holding him close, his grip tightened on the railing, "Of course it is not! Just promise me you will!"
"I said I am not doing it! We will both survive this! Stop it, Alex!" Jax shouted staring into those blue eyes sternly, "I lose my sister, I am not losing a brother I never had. Damn you, Alexander!" He growled.
"How did you get my full name?" Alex questioned curiously.
"You were shouting last night telling someone not to call you 'Alexander.' So, don't you dare die on me today!" Jax spoke, the determination to keep his partner alive was burning through his veins.
