PART ONE: THE SCARRING OF SUNSHINE

CHAPTER FIVE: WISTERIA AMBUSH

[Eyes Open: Taylor Swift]

2nd JANUARY 3000

From my position I can faintly see what is going on. Half of the Northlake people are dead. Including Josie. She was just shot... Some others have been taken away into police vans and trucks and have been arrested. Arrested for being good. Others have tried to escape including Christopher. Luckily a few got away but the rest weren't lucky. As for Christopher he disappeared.

I lay here in hiding with Edward. As I watch the population, die, shatter and burn. And it's all my fault. Once the alliance left they managed shoot a few soldiers and none of them got caught. Here I am motionless; staring at the wipe that glides across my shoulder igniting volts of pain inside. Edward is cleaning up my wound.

"Please Edward let me join them. I feel a bit better now." I plead. I want to help them. I can't just lay here and forget about the battle. No. In years to come when people read about this act of Genocide, under my name it should say,

Andie Ocean: Fought bravely and lead her union to victory.

Not this.

Andie Ocean: Injured in battle.

"Andie you know you cannot do that. You will get killed."

"Edward I need to stop this, it's insane I am the only one here from the zodiac. It's my fault this is all going on. They are angry that I eloped. Angry that I have found out the truth. Let me act as a sacrifice. It's me they want. They won't stop shooting until I show up All the Northlake citizens are dropping like flies. It will be population zero in a few minutes. Just let me go." I push him off me ignoring the pain and get up walking towards to door.

Then he scoops me up and places me back on the floor.

"You are not going anywhere." He says sympathetically. Grabbing the blood strewn wipe and throwing it away, then grasping a new one to continue.

"I'd rather die in battle than die in without doing anything."

I rack my mind to find something to convince him, but I can't think. But then it comes to me. My mind traces back up under my bed. I find a book. A book called the bible. Then I continue.

"James 1: 12 says blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

"Wait you're not an alien how do you know that?" He asks.

"I like to think I am, well my dad was so it kind of makes me half alien half bad girl right. My dad once gave me this huge book. It used to sit under my bed and be a dust collector but when my mother used to lock me in my room. I'd take the liberty of reading it. I actually finished ready it for the fifth time a few weeks ago. You should read it. It has all these scriptures on these guys called David, Esther, and Daniel. Are you an alien?"

He chuckles to himself then before he can speak. Four men and women burstt through the door holding humungous rifles to us. Edward grabs my waist and passes me a gun and whispers, "stay strong",. I suddenly feel powerful. I know what he wants me to do.

"Andie Kruger right?" The lady says with a threatening tone.. I knew they wanted me I think. Before I can say something Edward begins,

"No, Err her name is Mitchie, Mitchie Lake. Yeah she's not from here."

"Shut up!" The man says and shoots a bullet that pierces Edwards's hand. He falls to ground with a thud. As if someone sucked the life out of him. I end down holding his arms. Soul less arms.
