Chapter 1

War. We deal with it every day.

We watch it on the news. We see our fellow young friends get killed. However, no one has ever dealt with the war like the one I have gone through. War is hard to understand, but once you fight in a war, your answers will be solved. Especially, if you have to abandon your dreams to fight a war that lasted a long time and this time... it wasn't overseas. It was at home.  

It all started in the year 2009. I was a college student. I was majoring in Music Education and going to college in SUNY Potsdam. Potsdam is on the border between United States and Canada. It is an amazing school where people pluck their violins up in the Adirondack Mountains. The beautiful breeze is so cold, yet crisp and breathable. I usually sit down on a tree stump and watch the leaves that have a lot of color blow away. In the fall, it's so beautiful. I could do a lot of things right now. I would go on a hike and watch the sun set with the colorful leaves behind me were blowing so fast. The wind blowing through my short, yet black wavy hair. It was what I called paradise. 

However, five minutes later, the paradise I knew was gone. I turned around to the campus. My brown eyes were scanning the area. I was running away from where I sat with my red shirt blowing in the air, trying to pull me back. But, I had a feeling that there was going to be a mega problem. Turning around to look, I noticed black soldiers. They were black from their heads to their toes. Their armor was covered completely in leather and they carried submachine guns, bazookas, iron swords, automatic weapons. It was completely dreadful. I started to run away. People looked at me as I started running and they turned around to see that there was a group of them. The black cross soldiers then started pulling the triggers. Bullets started flying and the sound of them going off was atrocious. I never saw that much bloodshed in my life. People are being impaled by the powerful golden bullets that were sharp to the touch. Blood was flying out of people. I continued to run. I had to. The alarms were ringing from all over the place. People started evacuating and I watched them die in front of me by the powerful bullets. 

I continued running away. Next, I heard explosions. The Crane School of Music was going up in flames. Quickly, I had to go inside. I ran toward the school of music while dodging bullets from the soldiers dressed in black and I went inside. The place was a mess. Flames were erupting and music began to burn. Some of the most famous music was now going to burn. I quickly grabbed some of the most famous books: Haydn's music, Mozart's music and Beethoven's with some Debussy. They were my favorite composers. I then turned around to see the black soldiers surrounding me. I had nowhere to go. I was stuck here.

Yay, Chapter 1! Note: it gets bloody.

I OWN NOTHING!
