Love's Extinction

Anywhere But Here

As we ran Samantha, Rico,and I. We heard sirens sounding.

     “ Rico!  I'm scared. ” I cried

“ It's going to be alright just grab my hand.” He said thrusting his hand towards me.

I grabbed it, and ran straight through the gates with Samantha in lead.  We ran for hours, as cars raced to catch us.

“ Samantha their gaining, what do we do? ” I yelled.

“ Follow me! ” She. Responded.

Samantha darted into the trees and after her we followed. As we cut through the forest we could here the cars screeching to a halt and car doors opening and closing.

“ They went that way! ” I heard someone yell.

Flashlights snaked through the trees behind us. I looked up at the pale moon and realized it was changing colors. It was growing orange By the minute.

“ Samantha their right behind us what do we do? ” I whispered.

“ The trees! ” She said pointing up.

She started climbing the nearest tree. I looked at Rico and began climbing behind her and Rico behind me. We got to the highest branch and sat there not moving a muscle. Six men with flashlights ran right beneath us shouting our name and laughing. I grabbed Rico's hand and squeezed it to prevent myself from crying. We sat there until the men walked back to their cars and we heard the cars drive off and the sun had come up.

We climbed down and began walking towards the road.

“ Samantha... ” I whispered.

“ Yeah... ” She whispered.

“ We have to get away from here.  ” I said tears burning my eyes.

“ Where do you want to go? ” She asked voice cracking.

“ Anywhere but here. ” I said looking up at Rico.

“ From now on do not call me Sebastian.  Call me....Rynaldo. Because Sebastian is no longer alive and if he is that academy is out kill him...We have to change our names and even our apperance because they will not stop at nothing to kill us. ”

“ What he says is true... Rico is no longer my name... From now on call me Tony. ” Rico said.

“ Call me Lizzy... ” Samantha said tears pouring from her eyes.

At that moment the people we once were was dead...Our new life would began anywhere but here.  As we walked out of town we heard a faint crack.  We all looked up to see a small crack in the sky.  Fear pricked our hearts.  As the crack began to grow. But we continued to walk leaving our old lifes and finishing our new ones before the Apocalypse came to claim them.
