Chapter 1

I ran acrosss every obstacle that i could, feeling free and no longer held against my will. This was the time of the war. People often call it the end, simply because this is WOrld War 3 and every State has just about nuclear weapons to destroy whats lft of the world.

"Wait up mary!" I heard a familiar voice shout from behind me. ANd i tripped over a branch, I gasped as my face came in contact with the cold ground. I felt cold arms help me up and looked up to see logan caliver. Logan is my bestfriend and always will be, we met when the war had just started, but thats a different story.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, he looked at the ground and said "Well I needed to go with you, its not sade and besides i didnt want to be taken away by the army." American rules soon didnt matter. Noone payed much attention to them anymore, As america fell so did everything else, There were no laws , the constituion was just some paper that we dreamed about. People were sold for money as slaves but noone cared, noone was there to say that that was illegal all because of War. war is for peace and peace is war, its a never ending cycle. we couldn't just get along. Te small amount of people that had been left made civilizations. Once you left those civilizations theres nooone to save you , and once the army found the secret civilization they took away every man and woman from the ages of 16-30 to fight. and if you refused you were killed on the spot. Thats why i had ran, i had seen them the night before with logan.

FLASH BACK

"tag your it !" I screamed as i clamped my hand down on logans arm. I layghed as i ran into the forest forgetting all rules that came with going into it. I couldn't let logan catch me. I ran brushing past leaves and branches hearing loud footsteps run behind me. The snapping of twigs as i tripped and ran into a bush. I peered through it to see man men in camofluage clothing around a fire. Panic soon washed over me as i started to back up, bumping into logan. We fell into the dirt and he opened his mouth to say something but i clamped my hand down on it. I gestured a shh with my finger pressed to my lips. And pointed in the direction of the men were logan gave me a confused look. And i dreagged him into where i was pointing. He looked up at me his face pale with a blank expression.Worry filled his eyes and his features tensed, im sure mine reflection his own. He grabbed my hand and slowly moved us away from the area and the where the village was.

"We ...uh, need to go." I said , he knew what i meant, he knew it wasnt to out house, he knew i meant leave the only place where we felt safe, but there was nothing we could do. He shook his head and looked at me "I'm not going i'm not leaving my family." I looked at him with a sad face but knew that when logan made up his mind he was the only one who could change it. I nodded my head in understanding and headed home to collect some things and leave in the morning.

Flashback end

I half-smiled and adjusted my bag. "We should get going its going to get dark soon." He nodded and we walked side by side throught the silent forest. It seemed like hours since we had started walking and i felt my legs grow tired with ever step.

"Mary?" Logan said.

"Yesh?"

"we should stop and get somethening to eat."

"not here this area isnt secluded enough." (A/n: yesh i usee very big werds LMFAO srry just had to say that )

I looked around and saw two tall trees intertwining into eachother to form a cave in the middle."over there" i pointed and we started jogging towards it. I grabbed my lightr and peeked in the cave, it was empty.Logan dropped his bad on the ground and i did the same slumping to the floor. I emptied the contents that filled my bad and so did logan. We had tons of iodine,bread,fruits, crakers, 4 pairs of blankets, a sleeping bag, bottles of water and rope. Also we had hunting items . back at the civilizations we were forced to learn survival skills,just in case. Im not complaining me and logan would always venture out into the woods to hunt a rabbit or two. while i brought my set of arrows , logan brought his throwing knives. Lots of people used throwing knives noways.

"Looks like were set." I said grinning.

"yeah, hmm im not the only smart one that brought my hunting equipment huh?" Logan said nodding towards my bow and arrows.

"Nope your not that smart anyways."

"Hey and lets see if you've gotten rusty." He said a smile forming on his lips.

"Are you sure that isn't you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Hmm im not the one who took 6 trys to kill a deer." He said teasing me .

"HEY! I was 10 so sue me!" I said pouting . (A/N: I have no idea how to kill a deer or how many times you have to shoot it and what not, and im pretty sure a ten year old wouldnt be able to but hey life has unexpected tolls soo anyways back to the story :P )

"Yeah and now your 17 and still pou like a baby."

I threw my shoe at him for his last comment, and he grinned making us end in fits of laughter. We finally stopped to catch some air and readjust my shoe, when we heard a cracking sound. I froze and looked at logan who was reaching for his knives, i spotted my bow and arrows an grabbed them i got into a crouching position as a shadown began to appear do to the setting sun. Soon a small foot appeared of what looked like a childs. I motioned for logan to put his weapon down as the child stopped in her tracks looking as white as a ghost and dropped to the ground with a thud. I ran over to her motionless body and pressed my forefinger to her neck to check her pulse. I sighed in relief

"She just fainted, get my blankets."

CLAIRES P.O.V.

"Mommy, Daddy?!" I yelled

"Shush , shush." they said they were lying on the ground clutching their stomachs.

"Claire we need you to leave and run as fast as you can okay?" My Father said, I nodded .

"Here, take this and this okay, your going to have to find someone to take care of you." Mommy said. Soon loud gun shots were heard And peoples screams piercing through the evening, Blood everywhere and footsteps heading towards our area.

"We love you claire." they said as they pushed me motioning for me to run. And i did run, i ran as fast as i could, with my blonde curls following me. I put on the red cloack my mom gave me and the knife into my belt. The sun was setting and i felt as if i had run for hours. I was hungry and my vision began to blur I made it to a tree that formed a cave and heard laughs of children. I stepped on a twig and immediatley the laughing stoppped. Maybe ihad just beeen imagining the kids. I walked to the front of the cave and saw two surprised faces staring at me. And i wondered if i would be alright as the darkness took over and i felt myself falling into unconciousness.
