The Legacy (An Original Story)

Prologue

Bang!

Crash!

BOOM!

Explosions and bombs went off every second. Dirt and debris went flying everywhere, in all directions.

"Sashi, we need too get out of here, NOW!" A lieutenant screamed from behind a bullet damaged car, holding an AK 47.

The girl lie there in the dirt, motionless, her own gun to her left and a katana on her right.

"Sashi!" Another soldier ran up to her, sliding on her knees, kicking up more dirt towards the already dirt covered girl.
She threw her gun down and checked her pulse on her neck.

Nothing.

There was a bullet wound in the center of her chest, blood still slowly oozing out. A trickle of blood came from her lips that were half open, and eyes with tears leaking out slowly, still wide open.

The soldier slammed her fist on the armour of the dead Sashi, tears leaving her eyes like waterfalls.
A bullet whizzed passed the soldiers head, alerting her of the still going battle.

She lifted her gun, and stood to run, but paused.

She turned back around, picking up her dead sisters blade, blood still fresh on the once shiny surface.
She let out another sob before running behind the car with the lieutenant.
He looked at her with a confused but sad look, but all she did was sob and shake her head, her mouth forming a gritted frown.
He let out a sad, quick, sigh. He understood as tears too, streamed down his face.

"Tariki, I'm sorry." He said sadly, giving her a pat on her shoulder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sashi gasped, bolting upright.
Her breathing fast, she looked around. She was in her bedroom, lying under her covers, like she just woke up.

Her door slowly opened, her brother peeking his head around. "Hi Sashi." He greeted, but he didn't sound happy.
"Harkai, brother!" She said, opposite of the tone he used. She flung the blankets off of her and jumped out of her bed, hopping into her brother's arms. "Oh how I miss you..." She cried happily.
"I've missed you too." He said, returning her warm hug and a smile.

"But you're not supposed to be here."

"What? Brother why? I am only dreaming aren't I?" She said, letting go and returning to the ground.

He looked at the ground.

"Aren't I?" She repeated hastily, scared.

He looked her in her bright green eyes.
"Sister, Do you know where you are?"

"Mirkari? In Yohiri? In my bedroom? Why...? Wait, Brother, this isn't a dream!? You're... You're supposed to be... Dead..."

He nodded. "And you aren't."
