InThe War - chapter I

I walk around the open yard wondering how this could have happened. I hear a car pull up in the drive way and hurry back into the house. "lynx!" my mother called me. I walked politely into the Living room where three soulders in uniforms, with rifles slung across their backs, stood. "this is she, no?" the female soulders asked with her poor english. "yes, this is our. Only child" my mother said, while standing next to my father. I stood staight with my arms at my sides, as the two male and one female soldier walked around me examining me. In no time flat, the soldiers where out the door. I just looked - more like glared - at my parents. "thanks alot" I said before going to my room.
ok, I know your probably wondering whats wrong, so i'll tell you. About a year ago - ten months to be exacted - our country was invaded, and to cut the long story short, the soldiers are talking all us between ages thirteen and sixteen to work for the soldiers. I dont know why, but this is the way life is, totally and completely unfair. I walked out of my room and went out the front door. My three best friends have already been taken, and now its my turn. So I sat on the porch. Those soldiers will be back tomorrow for sure, with my outfit and some more of the people I will be riding into woodmore with.
I wake up to the sound of our front door being kicked in. "Lynx! its time to go!" my fathers stern voice called.i quickly get up before my door is opened forcefully. "you lynx?" I nod. "you put this on. No running, put this on and go out of room when done. Ok?" "yes, sir" I said as he handed me my new, itchy, smelly, to big, discustingly ugly grey wool outfit. stood by my bed with the clothes in my hand, and with a sigh, I get dressed. After I was dont I slowly walked towards the door. 'should I stay? run away? never come back?' those were the only questions going through my head at the time. Before I opened the door, it opened, pushing me backwards and falling right onto my back. I lost my breathe but in a few seconds one of the soldiers was pulling me up and pushing me out the door. On the way towards the door my mother gave me a hug and whispered something into my ear. My father shook my hand leaving a piece of paper in it. I bowed politely towards them, as I was taught and I left, following the woman before me. I was about to get into the back if the truck before they opened the peice of clothe hanging there, till one of the male shoilders pulled me back. "you wait" he said in his poor english. I nodded. another two soldiers came out of the clothed back and they helped ne into my ride into the nearest town. I stoped right as soon as I was standing and looked at the three people before me. Michelle hallston and the Curtis brotehrs, of whom I do not know the names of yet. I sat before Michelle, seeing as she looked the safest. "hello" she said to me "...hi..." I replied bitterly. "no talk" one of the soldiers said before the other got in. I looked at them. I couldnt make out their features in the dark, so I gave up and turned so there was a wall infront and beside me. I opened the small note and read it. 'do as told, and live fair' it said, quoting something I read in a book before. I sighed and started chewing on the paper for something to do.
It's almost night time now and Michelle's sleeping on the floor, the Curtis' look like their playing rock, paper, scissors, and im hella bored. The soldiers are smoking their last pack of smokes and I have no clue what to do. Its a twenty four hour drive to woodmore so we shouldnt be there till tomorrow morning... I layed on the bench and sighed, making both soldiers look at me "something the matter?" one of them asks. Was I hearing this right? "pardon?" I asked leaning on my elbows. "you feel good? you ok?" the other asked "yes, why?" "your new master would not like his maid ill" he said struggling with every word "ok" I said before leaning back. I dont know if I fell asleep but I was being shook away by someone. "wake up Lynx" it was Michelle. "hmm?" I mumbled "are they awake?" a womans stern voice asked "yes they are" one of the soldiers said before I got up. I sat up straight away. One of the soldiers opened the flap thing and I heard the woman grunt in displeasure. "they look awefull! to awful to serve the young master.. I'll have to work with them." the woman said before walking aay. I guess that was are que because the soldiers told us to follow her. I was behind Michelle who was behind the tallest Curtis who was hehind his shorter brother.
I guess that woman wanted use to adress her as Mistress Corina. Well me and Michelle anyways. After she told us what to adress her by, she pushed me and Michelle into a small bathroom with two sets of clothes. "um..." I said a bit embarrassed. "just get dressed, that lady means business by the way she looked." Michelle said already getting undressed. I follow her example and start getting undressed, and getting my other outfit on. I looked at my self in the full length mirror that was in the bath room. My outfit was plain white, the pants and the shirt. I held a long peice of black skinny rope in my hands, not knowing what to do with it. "its a tie" I heard Michelle say behind me, and in the mirror I see her fixing hers. "um... Help... Please?" I asked. She smiled somewhat and helped me with it. "there, thats better" she said standing beside me as we looked into the mirror. Then and there is when I realised how helpless I felt. "you two get a move on, the plain leave in ten minutes!" mistress corina shouted. And then we got out and on to the plain.
We finally landed!
i thought the flight was never going to end. But here I am getting off the plain and into a shabby little cab. Im squished in between Cole and Audrey cutris, white Michelle got into another cab with Mistress Corina. Cole started to poke Audrey from behind me. "quit it" he said annoyed, looking right at me. "hm? quit what?" "dont play stupid wolff" he said glaring. Then Cole broke into a fit of laughter and a sorry expression was on audreys face. "im so sorry!" I suddenly said, I bet if the car hadnt stoped and we hadnt got out, I would have been squished in a hug right now. But nope, no hug for me. We were lined up as mistress corina started talking "you will all line up with the fifeteen other servants that arive here. When that happens you will be hand selected by the young master on what you will do, how you will do it and where you will sleep. Untill then you are free to roam the yard. Do not go far or the gaurd dogs will chase you down, and the gaurd will shoot you without regret." before she left she eyed all four of us and 'hm'ed. I didnt like the way she 'hm'ed at me...
i was walking in a garden I happened to see when I was hugged from behind. I heard light sobbs. "lynxathia!" I couldnt believe my ears. I instantly turned around and hugged my best friend, Johnny Nix. "omg! Johnny, what are you doing here?!" I asked on the brink of tears. "im beeing trasported, the young master of the house bought me the other day." he said leting go. I couldnt believe my eyes. right infront of me was one of my bestest friends, in whom I havent seen since him and my other two friends where taken, six months ago. "wheres Kylie and Jake?" I asked quicky with worry. "they dead" he said looked into the sky. Dead? dead?! I suddenly started feeling sick "..wh-who killed them?" "kylie was.. raped.. My workmate found her, we dont know who did it... And um... Jake was whiped for not listening, and the whip hit one of is soft areas and he... He just died" Johnny was hugging himself before me. A sight i've never seen before. I hugged him. "hey! you two! get over here you lazy-" the male voice was cut off. "thats no way to talk to my servants" I let go of Johnny and stood at attention, as did Johnny beside me, although he was still shaking, almost as if he wanted to cry. The 'young master' wasnt really young to me, nor Johnny. He looked about seventeen or eighteen, he had red short hair, green eyes, and a very expencive looking outfit. "i came to see what was taking you to so long. The others are already here" I bowed in respect, bringing Johnny down with me, because I put my hand behind his necK. "im so sorry, master" I said, hoping he wasn't abusive. "good manners young lady, but you and this mutt should get into the house and get yourselves lined up before I have you shipped off." he said, and I swear to god, when I stood up I had to tilt my head a little just to see his face. And he was pretty close, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable. "yes, m'lord" I said before I grabed Johnnys arm and we both raced into the house.
^-^ Please rate.. you don't have to but it will make me feel better
