Battle Scars

It

"............sh*t."Lukes' face went blank with horror. He quickly looked at Calum and said "Run!" Horor was still eminent on his face. Calum gave a quick nod and began to run as fast as he could and Luke followed him. Screams began to fill the city. "What are those things?!" Calum asked. "I have no idea, just keep running!" Luke said almost commanding Calum to do so. Luke saw something that somehow managed to bring more fear into him he saw a missile straight at them. "Get down!" Luke screamed jumping on Calum to try to get him out of the way. The missiles' impact made Luke and Calum get thrown backwards. The painfully load sound filled Lukes' ears all he could hear was ringing. Be told Calum to keep running even though he knew Calum probably couldn't hear. He somehow got the messege becuase he continued running down the street. Tears started forming in Lukes' eyes but he quickly blinked them away becuase he knew now wasn't the time to get emotional. All he cared about was his and Calums survival. He knew Calum was just running away from whatever the hell those things were. He knew that they weren't gonna survive if they were just running. Luke quickly looked around to see what was going on. He noticed that there were a lot of people running into a building. He saw Calum running into that building. He quickly pulled Calum toward him a kept running still holding on to his shirt. Calum looked at him with confusion and a little bit of anger. He gave Calum a reassuring face -he didn't even know how he did it becuase he was so unsure of what he was doing-. He saw a target about a block down from that building, perfect he thought.
He let go of Calum and pointed towards the target and started running towards him, Calum gave him a nod and also started running towards it. They both ran into the target and after they ran a little more they threw themselves on the ground and started panting even harder than they already has been. "What the hell are those things?!" Calum said with fear in his voice and face. "I have no idea but they're f*cking scary." Luke said for some reason he seemed calm even though he was filled with fear. "Ok let's get things we need like knive and lighters and stuff." Luke said. "Wait but isn't that stealing." Calum said. "Dude there's a freakikg alien apocalypse, I'm pretty sure there aren't any laws at this point." Luke said letting out a little chuckle. "Ok we should probably get some backpacks then to put everything in." Calum said trying to stay calm. "Good idea." Luke said also trying to stay calm even though fear was consuming him. "You get the backpacks and I'll get some knives ok." Luke said. "Knives? We're up agianst f*cking aliens here I don't think knives are gonna cut it. Guns would be better." Calum said. "Well it's better than nothing. And last time I checked target doesn't have guns." Luke said. "True. I'll get the backpacks and see if I can find anything else."Calum said. "Ok let's meet at the exit when we're done." Luke said. "Ok." Calum said, his vioce seeming somewhat unsure. Luke ran to the kitchen section. "How many knives do I need? Um two for each of us. Yeah that'd good." Luke thought to himself. He grabbed to big knives and two little knives. He went through all the things he needed in his mind. "Aw matches." He said to himself. He didn't know where to find matches but he got the next best thing. As he walked around he saw a bunch of barbecue lighters. "I guess this is good enough" he said to himself. As he started running towards the exit to meet up with Calum agian, he noticed something behind him. It was a bunch of tall guys. More fear somehow managed to flow into Lukes' body. One of them said "Hey kid give me the knives.". "What no." Luke with a surprised tone, trying to sound as unafraid as possible. "Listen kid give me the knives and no one gets hurt." Another one of the guys said. "Listen you can just get these in the kitchen section just like I did." Luke said with a little bit fear flowing from his voice. Luke thought if he should just give them the knives but he quickly brushed off the idea. Not only was he agaist the aliens but he was agiast time, he needed as much time as he needed to get him and Calum to a safe place. "Nope." Luke said said as he quickly started toward the exit, hoping that Calum was already there. He could hear the footsteps of the men runing behind him but he knew he shouldn't look back. "Calum go outide!" Luke screamed hoping that he would hear him. "Why?" Calum asked. "Just do it!" Luke screamed back. He didn't get a response but he could hear the door opening. A little bit of relief went through his body. That little bit of relief though wasn't nearly enough to mask the tremendous amount of fear that was consuming him. Not only was there aliens and missiles all over the place but there were poeple trying to kill him. He quickly swallowed when he thought about that. He finally saw the exit. He stublmed out of there quickly. "Dude what happened? Did you see one of them?" Calum asked, concern written all over his face. "No." Luke said painting. "Then what are we running from." Calum asked. "People." Luke said, listening if he could hear footsteps. He heard something else though, something more scary another missle. He had been hearing that ever since it started but he had only heard one so close to him before. "Run!" He yelled to Calum, taking the lead. They both ran into a Starbucks to take shelter from the missle. *boom!* he heard as the missle destroys the target. Luke felt a little sad knowing that more poeple are dead becuase of these aliens, even though they tried to kill him. "Wait do you hear that?" Calum asked. "Yeah I hear it. It's sounds like........" Luke said but was quickly interrupted by one of the best things he could see. Military tanks. "Yeah!" Calum siad, a sense of security started to fill both of them. "Ok so here are the backpacks I could find." He siad giving Luke a green backpack. "Awe why do you get the blue one. I want that one." Luke said. "Because I do." Calum said. "Ugh fine." Luke said. "Ok so here are your knives." Luke said while he was handing Calum the two knives. He also opened both barbecue lighters to give on to Calum. They both put their things in their bags. Luke got up and started to walk towards the exit and Calum followed. When he opened the door he wished he never had. What he saw terrified him. It was huge, about seven feet tall. It was covered in metal. It had advanced weapons in both hands. It was was one of the most terrifying things he had ever seen. He saw it. He saw one the aliens right in front of him, ready to kill him.
