Dusk

Chapter 2

I wake up and Neon or Brea aren't here. I look at the time and it's already 8. I jump out of bed and put a shirt on and change my pants. I run to the elevator. I need to talk to Neon more about Trace. I go down the elevator and when the doors open Neon's there. "I was about to come and check on you, see how you were feeling." He says, "I feel great. Surprisingly." I say. I reach into my pockets and I feel a piece of paper. I didn't put anything in my pockets. I pull it out and I unfold it and it's a picture of Trace, there a big red X on it. I through my hand to my mouth, a tear almost coming to my eye. How dare they. I hand it to Neon and he's just as shocked. Why did they leave this in my pocket. What were they trying to do.

We walk out the building and there's one of our air ships. It's pointed directly at us. Not doing anything. What are they doing. I try to look through the glass but I can't see. Neither of us move. It stays there then we hear *click*. All at once it starts shooting the machine guns at us, we rush back into the building. We run to the back exit and we run through the doors and there's another! We're surround! When we shut the door again we hear a explosion, we open the door again and my sister in one and she drops a rope for us to climb up. We climb up and Brea's locked into the seat. Thank god she's here. I rush up to Kota is cockpit and she's piloting us, but she's bleeding, she was shot, in her stomach. I get the first aid and rush back to her, trying to keep my balance with her bumpy flying. I rap some stuff around her and I yell "GET US OUT OF HERE!" as we try to leave a ship flies in front of us but right before it shoots us, another ship come and shoots that one down. I'm guessing that's Bruce. A couple more ships join us and my sister leads us. We fight our way out maybe destroying 10 other ships, not all there's. We finally barely escape. Looking back the whole base is on fire. Destroyed. Gone.

I wait sitting right by Brea, she holds my hand tight. I'm not sure where we're going.

I finally get up to go see how my sister is doing. She's still bleeding, but now that we're steady I can stich her up. "Where do we go now?" I ask while stitching her up. "You think I wouldn't have a back up plan. We're going to the main base. It's an secluded island. It's pretty far, you should go be with Brea. I'll tell you when we get there. She says, "ok." I reply.

I go back and sit with Brea again. She's already asleep. I lay by her and she puts her head on my chest and I fall asleep.
