Mary's body collided with mine as the tent next to us exploded into a big flame. We went tumbling to the ground, landing on top of each other. In other circumstances it would've been an awkward situation. Except, in this one, I was too focused on the chaos around me to care about foolish things like embarrassment.
"No!" I cried out as the ground around me went up into flames. There was smoke and fire everywhere, consuming anyone and anything in its reach, destroying the Right Arm. People were screaming out in terror as they got caught up in the chaos of a wild fire.
I sat on the ground on, knees up and the palms of my hands were flat against the dirt, resting them a little bit behind my back. If someone were to look at me they would be able to see the reflection of fire in my eyes, yet there was more than that in the reflection. There was agony; a mental suffering from within.
"You did this!" I was yanked up from my spot, grabbed by the collar of my shirt, making my feet drag slightly. Mary held me tight. "Did Wicked bribe you with money, huh? To sell us out!"
"N-No! What are you talking about!" I yelled, desperate for her to come to her senses. She pulled me up higher, causing the collar of my shirt to wrap around my neck tighter.
"Hey! Mary! Let her go!" Vince came to my rescue and tore Mary away from me. I fell to the ground and Vince was quick to help me back up.
Mary stood there with a look of pure devastation. "We need to go now!" Vince shouted over the screaming. "What about my friends? I n-need to go and find them!" I told the man.
"It's not safe. They'll make it out on their own.-"
People were running in our direction farther from where the helicopters came from. That's when I noticed that the helicopters had landed on the ground. Several guards working for Wicked came out and began to grab people. The people they couldn't get on their own were tazed, making it easier to round everyone up.
I ran. Mary and Vince followed behind me. My body was turning and twisting in every direction trying to find a suitable way out while looking for any familiar faces.
Vince held out a hand to stop me. "You take Mary. I'm going to round up a group to fight back." He barked out. He pushed Mary towards me and I was forced to grab the unsteady woman.
Vince gave me no time to protest and ran away in the other direction, towards somewhere else. Where was I supposed to go? There was nowhere to hide? I stammered on my toes, not knowing what to do next.
Shots fired in the air, making me grabbed Mary's arm and pull her towards the ground, bending our knees and squatting down. They were close by, firing nowhere near us. So, I sprinted with Mary.
"Y-you really didn't do it?" The woman next to me said. I looked at the girl. She was in shook at the worst timing possible. Hence, that is why, I did what I had to do.
