   "But sir, what do we do with the girl?". One of the young men commanded to the eldest man. They looked at Monnie, which she hid behind me frightened.

   "Assassinate her, no females shall be permitted to join". The elderly man stated, ambling back to the white spotted horse. Two of the young men grasped tightly onto both of me and Oggy, leaving Monnie out. 

  "August, I'm scared". She looked up at the two men, her legs trembled along with the terrify in her black fawn eyes.

  "You're gonna be alright, Monnie". I smiled, glancing back at the young man, "I have to see her, she's my sister!". I cried.

    The elderly man walked over to Monnie with a hand gun in his right buckle. I struggled to break through, "don't hurt her...please!". I screamed. Monnie's eyes glowed glossy when she seen the hand gun pointed at her forehead. Oggy held her eyes closed, holding back her tears torn. "No, STOP!". I cried, "kill me instead!". I was on my knees hollering for Monnie's mercy. The elderly man wouldn't listen to me, he pulled the trigger in a instant. 

    As I looked up, Monnie dropped onto her knees upsetting. I was free at last- I fell forward onto my mug, quickly crawled over to Monnie. "no, no". I gently held her small round face, a minute ago she was smiling, enjoying the best of her young life - now she's gone. Monnie's dead. A sweet innocent soul, age of five, leaving without any experience of first love, graduation, a family of her own, and meeting her biological parents. I softly kissed her forehead, "goodbye Monnie - I won't fail to remember you, I-I love you".

    One of the men tugged at my shirt, and dragged both of me and Oggy through the meadow. The men marched heavy, following the elderly man - he's the first place commander it appeared to be. I gave attention to up in the full of light, it somewhat gave me a sense that I was floating from the ground's surface. I began to feel light-headed, Oggy looked over at me, "August?". She held onto my arm, "you okay?". I nodded, "I-I'm f-fine", looking back up, a shadow hovered above me, my glossy black eyes swung around to the back of my head - bringing me onto my knees in a complete blackout.

     ~A slight breeze swayed across my mug, there I stood near a steep hill, the ground was much further than I expected for somewhat reason. Turning back was Monnie, she narrowed her black glossy eyes at me. My eyes extended when I seen her such a way - red gore oozed right down the center of her forehead, along with her button nose, "you let me..go, August", her weep deepened harshly. I took a step back feeling weak in the knees, "Monnie, you know I'm sorry...". I sobbed sickly, "I do couldn't do anything". She slanted her head, leasing her hand out to me, "home-take me home, August". She stumbled toward me with a weak limp in her right leg, her panting became mangled.~ 

      ~I tumbled over myself, swiftly backing away from her, as I glanced at my hand. I was sinking through the dirt - turned out to be mud, thickening mud, pulling at the straw grass I fell through, tumbling into a silent room. I groaned, keeping quiet uncertain, I rested on my knees, breathing with difficulty. The room's walls were twirling, and swirling from wall to wall, it was illusional, and confusing for me to retain with my surroundings. My weakly gagging appeared pure black, I flung back as the swirls continued quick as lightning, "stop!". I crawled around the room, it was flipping vertical, and horizontal distances, "I wanna wake up!". I cried intensely, gagging once more.~

     Unexpectedly - I awoke from visualizing, beside me was a golden blonde woman staring at me hardened. "Who are you?". I asked, shivering constantly to myself. Her shady blue eyes narrowed straight at me, she turned her back away from me, "I'm the armed force nurse, my name is Kathy, now you alright, son?". She rotated her head back over at me. I looked up at her with a blank stare, "I'm so son-". I slightly groaned, "I'm fine...".
