The Years After

Chapter 15

    Today we had a meeting in the Warehouse. We finally recruited enough people to outnumber the Leader's Army. Mark is leader of the Rebellion and we have fifty people in our group, Hunter being our leader. We plan on attacking the 16 Weaponries in the Third Town, we are waiting for a response from the other four towns and get on a date to attack all at once.

     "We are so close to freedom, I can already smell it!" Diana stated.

     We were on the lake behind Diana's house, sitting on the grass, green, the lake being clear, reflecting the cloudless sky above, lily pads spread out on the lake and dark green soaring trees lining the terrain of the lake, beauty is what I called it.

    "They say that once this place was city, cities lined the coastline and they also say that ships lined the coast." Bryan said.

    "Texas, I think that's what they called it, and the city was named Houston, I think." Hulk added.

     "They say it was large, but after the citizens fled to the Northeast, after the economic fail, the cities slowly disintegrated and the land filled with trees." Diana explained.

     "And after 200 years, our ancestors came and colonized again and 70 years later the Towns started to gain popularity and fortune." I added.

     "They're getting bigger, but we're not going anywhere." Julissa added.

    She was right. The towns were large, they gained tons of money, there was plenty of jobs, but we couldn't do anything, we were born workers. I used to be one, not anymore, but it's prohibited to share my money with the workers. I did it in secret, but it was illegal.

    "Don't worry guys, fighting will give us our freedom, we will make a new country, our descendants will enjoy a new life, a free life." Alex said.

     I stood astonished, Alex slowly changed, after one year, he grew wiser, stronger, he was managing his powers responsibly, he was growing up. We were all changing, the idea of war was making us develop faster, under the nature's law, survival of the fittest. I thought to myself, be strong, the stronger you are, the braver, the wiser, makes you win.
