I don't know what the plan is, but we're out in Tarmen. I see familiar houses and faces. Will I see my parents! I hope they're safe. I can see everything actually, why? My heads still aching and I'm groggy. Am I flying. The people are smaller but I can still make them out. As I look out the window more, I decide I can see clouds. Am I. I gasp. I'm in a helicopter. Though I'm not as far up as you would think.
"All part of the new plan." I hear a voice say. I climb over pillows and blankets and sit in in one of the front seats. Paxton is there.
"Yea Teresa I got it, I'm about in contact. Got to go. No no. Teresa just make sure the phone piece is on. Yea ok. Keep in contact." I look at him.
"What?" I ask.
"Oh yea ok so that was Teresa. The new plan is simple actually, you see Tim is stupid."
"I know," I say smiling.
"Ok. I am going to send out a memory wipe mist that will connect to the communicators in their ears. They'll forget they ever were about to attack and leave. It will sadly take a while for it to set in so we have to keep them away from everything lock them up, punch them, knock them out. I dunno but I'm about to set it off."
"All for me?" I ask. He nods
"And your parents and home town." He says. "Umm..cover your ears. NOW!" He yells unexpectedly. I curl into a ball as the helicopter shakes and as it does I cover my ears. I look up for a second and see the mist spread over the town. It's a purplish green and is a bit shimmery. I curl into a ball again. I feel the helicopter turn and twist in the air. I feel like throwing up. Then we plummet to the ground. I scream. My life flashes before my eyes. Then we hover, softly. All I can hear is my heart. I look up. Paxton is gasping for air. I run over and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you ok." He nods.
"Let's land, so it can set in and we have to keep them back from attacking." I nod and relax. I'm not going to ask him how he can fly a helicopter but he has been in the organization a while. When we land he jumps out first. And starts punching people knocking them out. I do the same we all kick and punch. A man sneaks behind me and punches me behind my back. I turn and kick him in the gut, but he grabs my leg and pulls me under. My arm starts bleeding and I scream. I quickly get up suddenly and jump on the man. Then I hit him in the ears and run away. He's down. We fight for another hour. Why couldn't Paxton find an easier and faster working mist.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We all gasp as we face Tim. He laughs as he prepares to attack us. We didn't kill anyone luckily only made them pass out. I wouldn't live if I killed anyone. My arm continues to bleed as I make my first punch to his head, then I jump and Teresa and Kira kick him until he falls. I feel terrible. We run fast into the forest. We run as fast as we can. When we reach a clearing far way from civilization and we're out of Tarmen we rest and lay down.
"How much will they remember or forget should I say?" I ask Paxton.
"Just that they were attacking Tarmen." I nod and fall asleep on the rock, cold, dirt floor.
