everything. I hid from them up in a tree, looking down at
them as they searched for me.
It was scary being out here all
alone, it really was. I felt more alone than I ever had in my whole
life. I nearly killed my little sister. She looked at me and
thought she was running for her life when she ran down that
hallway. Once you see that in your lifetime... you never forget it.
My own sister abandoned me. My own family.
Bugs chirped all throughout the
woods, speaking with each other, jumping around. It was annoying,
but peaceful at the same time. It started to relax me, making my
eyes drowsy and droop down heavily. Before I knew it, I was
asleep.
Then, I smelt something burning.
Again.
I jolted up and saw where I was. I
was in the middle of the burnt field again.
I started to freak out, not
wanting to know what I would see. Every other vision I had was
terrifying. Who knows what I could see now?
I looked around, trying to see in
the thick smoke. Further out, I could see a figure crawling this
way. A low moan came from that direction. A moan of
pain.
I stopped breathing, trying to be
silent as possible as the figure appeared, crawling out into view.
It was the hooded man from the vision before.
His body collapsed, sending ash
into the air from underneath him. His hoodie was covered in blood
and ash. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him as he sat there on
ground in pain, blood flowing through his obvious
wounds.
That’s when another figure came
from the smoke, followed by two more. At first I didn’t recognize
them. But it quickly came to me. It was Nick and the other kids
from before.
They stood over the hooded man,
looking down at him as he lay there in defeat. He still moaned, not
even attempting to get up. He looked back up at them, staring in
their eyes as they stared back. I almost wanted to jump in there
and help, but that man was bad. He killed them in the other
vision.
“ You shouldn’t
have done this,” the man said. “I was trying to protect the world
from you .” Nick
scoffed at the man.
“ Protect it from what?” The man
started to laugh. “If anybody needs to be stopped, it’s
you.”
The girl stepped up and sighed as
she knelt down, facing the man.
“Things didn’t have to be like this,” she said. “If you listened,
you would understand.” Nick grabbed the girl by the back of her
shirt collar and pulled her back up away from the man.
“Don’t talk to
him like he’s a person,” he said. “He tried to kill us for no reason. If
his excuse is that we’re different, than he needs a news
flash. So is he. ”
The other boy nodded his head in agreement.
“He nearly killed us,” he said.
The man’s muscles stiffened as he shot a look at Nick.
“Look around!”
he yelled. “You did this! You nearly killed you and your friends! You’re a monster!”
Nick kicked the man in the ribs, causing him to scream in
pain.
“Shut up!”
The girl pushed Nick back and took
his place. She gave the man a sympathetic look. She looked back at
Nick and then at the other boy and shook her head.
“They just don’t
understand,” she said. “I understand. I understand everything.
After what happened to you, I understand why you looked for someone
to blame.” The man’s muscles stiffened again. “But we didn’t cause it.
There’s no one else to blame but you.” She put her hand out in
front of her, facing it towards the man.
“But what has to be done, has to
be done.” She closed her eyes. “I’m sorry, Joshua.”
What?
Her hand started to shake, and the
man’s breath stopped. He stopped moving and laid there on the
ground. The girl shivered and inhaled, trying to hold back a sob.
Nick and the other boy patted her on the shoulder, and they turned,
walking away.
The girl stayed there for a
second, looking down at the body of the hooded man. She looked
back, then back down at the body. Kneeling down, she grabbed the
hood of the man and pulled it down. That’s when I saw his
