This Means War

"Mhmm. They're probably just trying to get rid of some of us and clear out the camp so it isn't so crowded." I pulled my hood over my head. It was a little chilly out. "I hope this mission will be easy. I've only ever been on one before and that was a dummy mission. I have no clue what to expect."

This Means War

"Hey, anything is better than staying in this dump. Let's roll." I grabbed my hoodie and slid it on, zipping it up and slipping into my combat boots. I flipped and searched through the pockets of the pants I'd worn here yesterday and grabbed my inhaler from it. Quickly, I slid it into my pocket so no one could see what it was. I didn't need anyone worrying about me or treating me differently if they thought something was wrong with me. "

This Means War

"To be honest, I don't know. I mean, for all we know, we could be the enemy here. We could be the bad guys. I never even thought to figure out why we're in this stupid war-" Someone came through the cabin doors. I shut up, not knowing if it would be the Angry Man or not. It wasn't. It was the woman with the glasses that spoke on the stage yesterday.

"Good morning, troops." She smiled. "I've come to inform you that some of you will be sent on a mission." She took out a paper with a list of names on it. "The names I read off will report to the building you arrived at yesterday. She cleared her throat, pushing her glasses up and began to speak. "Christy Pearson, Luke Burns, Daisy Morris, Penelope Write, and Samuel Pace." She finished, smiling at us. "Gather your things, lets get going." She walked off.

"I have no clue. I wish they wouldn't have attacked at all. I'm glad we made it out. So many people got seriously injured and some were even killed! I mean, you saw I tripped over a body! You said you did too." I shook my head. "We've got to do something about this. Stop this war altogether. I didn't ask to be in this war, but since I am here, I'm definitely going to make a difference. Or die trying."

This Means War

"That's what I'm guessing." I ran a hand through my messy hair. I didn't even try to fix it up nice this morning. I've been walking around with bed hair and didn't even know it. "I'm sure they'll be in here soon. Probably to yell at us more or make us train." I sighed, rolling over on my side and playing with a loose string on the blanket.

This Means War

I noticed the girl from across the way make a peace sign to Sam. I raised an eyebrow with a smirk on my face. "She was on our bus yesterday." I said, mostly to myself than to Sam. I guessed she knew him. A few minutes later, we were walking through the cabin doors. Only a few people were back so far, but other than that it was pretty empty. I sat on my bed and kicked off my boots, grabbing them and sitting them nicely along the side of the bed.

This Means War

"Are you sure?" I asked, raising a brow and giving him a smile. "Doesn't need any stitches or anything?" I opened the door, walking out and holding it for Sam. Once we were both out, we began walking back to our cabin.

This Means War

"I agree. Lead the way, man." I scooted back in my chair, standing up and shoving a hand in my pocket. "Hey, you should go get your arm looked at. You don't want it to get infected of anything." I nodded at his arm, remembering that Sam was grazed by a bullet yesterday. Why didn't he get it checked out sooner?

This Means War

"You're right. That's a terrible idea." I huffed, pushing my bowl in front of me. There wasn't much left to eat, so it wasn't like I was wasting a lot of food or anything. "I have to get out of here though. Somehow." I frowned. "Oh never mind. We'll be ok. We just have to tough all of this nonsense out and hope for the best." I leaned back in my chair and crossed my arms over my chest. A loud bell began to ring and a voice came through the speakers, telling us we only had a few more minutes to eat and when we were done, we were to report to our cabins.

This Means War

"Wait-" I paused, holding my spoon in the air. "Would you really consider ditching this place?" I asked, curiously. If he would leave with me, I'd have no problem getting the heck out of this terrible place. "Because if you would consider it, we could sneak out of here by tonight. We just need a good story to come up with when we show up at a new base." I smirked. I could pull up a lie with no problem. "Naaah, that's too risky." I shook my head at the idea and took another spoonful.
