A war has broken out in the city.

People are fleeing.

There is chaos, utter chaos, everywhere.

Bodies litter the floor, in different states of decay.

Houses crumble to the floor.

The cries of the lost and wounded fill the skies with their shrieks.

Bullets rain down from the darkened sky.

Children run to and fro.

In a school, Alexander yawned. The clock was ticking. It was barely 2:00. So long... he thought blearily. Would the day ever be over?

He lifted his chin off the desk-

His teacher opened her mouth-

And suddenly the entire front of the classroom caved in.

Genya sketched idly on her notebook when it happened.

Cracks appeared in the plastered ceiling.

She frowned.

..."Uh, miss?"

Genya raised her hand.

The school shook.

She opened her mouth to scream.

And was buried in rubble.

Alexander was on his feet in an instant. The only corner that hadn't been hit was his own.

Suddenly, a plume of dust flew up off the floor- He choked- and felt it fill his lungs. Promptly, dizziness overtook him. He stumbled back several steps, his hands flying up to his mouth. He hacked a few times... then promptly slumped to the ground.

He didn't know how long he blacked out. But when he awoke, he saw a girl's head, lolling across the ash, half her face scorched off. He choked-

Then he saw movement in the ash... he tried to move forward- and keeled over. He slumped down across the ground. He blinked. Was there more smoke in the air, or was he blacking out again.

He moved a little.

He could crawl.

He inched forward across the floor, desperately aware of how dangerous this was. He had to get out- he had to find a shelter before the rest of the city was bombed, destroyed... before the school collapsed, him under it-

He found a hand in the rubble. He tugged on it a bit.

He blinked. Was it his imagination, or was the hand disconnected from the body?

With a sickening lurch and the last of his strength, he yanked a girl out of the rubble.

Genya's clothes had been ripped and torn.

Her now dull hair was covered in grey dust.

She wasn't moving.

Her chest rose and fell slowly.

Her pale face matched the alabaster rubble.

Her fingers twitched a little.

A glimpse of amber eyes was seen through her thick eyelashes.

She gave a soft moan and shook.

Reality faded in and out. Alexander's vision blurred. His breathing was hard, ripping its way through his chest, forcing his heart to action. His stomach rose in his throat. Before he could stop it, suddenly he was vomiting. Spewing bile into the dust, wheezes and hacks rising from his throat.

At last, he fell silent. He gulped a few times, then crumbled to the ground. He managed to roll himself over.

He lay there. Unthinking. Unfeeling. Just breathing. Just breathing. Staring up at the crumbled plaster of the ceiling which based the next layer of black and white tiles in the cake of the school.

Cake... he closed his eyes. He remembered his last birthday. Hadn't he had a cake...?

.......

My head.


Oh god, my head.

.............


Genya shifted uncomfortably.

She coughed out ash and soot,

Her eyes didn't open though.

A large cut trickled blood down the side of her head.

She groaned and opened her mouth to scream for help.

No sound came out.

....

Agony.


She rolled over, groaning as she scraped herself on hard rock.

Her head began to sway as she inhaled the smoke.

Trying to keep herself conscious, she opened her eyes blearily.

She couldn't see anything.

Genya began to shake.

Blinking faster and faster, she rubbed her eyes until they were red.

At last, she could see.

She sighed with relief, scanning her broken surroundings.

A boy was sat near her, with wounds similar to hers.

She attempted to speak, but all that came out was a rasp.

Genya's eyes widened with fear.

Pearly tears made streaks against the soot on her face.

The boy stirred a bit. His arm scraped roughly across the ground, shredded by the bombs. His hand found his face and he brushed the ash off. He blinked up slowly.

And then he rolled over on his side and met her eyes.

Genya flinched.

She held the boy's gaze.

Her hand idly traced pictures in the dust.

Blood trickled down her face.

She coughed into her palm.

It came back red.

At last he spoke. His voice was raspy, choked by the ash and the dust. "I... saved your life." His voice cracked at the end and he broke off into wheezes.

Genya smiled a little.

A tear fell from her eye.

"....and I-..."

She coughed again.

And winced.

"...I t-thank you very m-much for that..."

Genya shuddered.

"Just a thank you?" Though she couldn't see it, he was pouting. "Not a kiss for the handsome stranger-?"

Genya blushed.

"...I c-can't really move..."

She tried to shift forward, and couldn't.

"I-i'm all stiff....sorry."

She smiled apologetically.

He chuckled a bit, then winced. "I think- I have shrapnel-" He tried to sit up, and suddenly he was gripped by pain in his side. "Ugh- We need to- get- shelter-"

Genya pointed shakily to a small hut in the nearby forest. It was unscathed.

"T-there?"

She asked nervously.

Genya got up shakily, her legs wobbling.

Her ripped sleeve flapped in the breeze.

"N-No-" Alexander shook his head jerkily from side to side. He reached for her hand, then recoiled, pressing it into the bloody patch that was starting on his shirt. "B-Bomb shelter... before they come back- there might be doctors-"

He was starting to stand up, but immediately stumbled back several steps, his knees buckling- he caught himself on the wall. He gripped the peeling wallpaper, bunching it up together.

Breathing hard, he turned to look at her. "We need a bomb shelter," he replied as calmly as he could. "Because... the school fell... easily... Bricks..." His vision blurred again and he slammed his eyes shut, hoping to chase off the dizziness and headache that was forming in the back of his skull. "We need to go now."

Genya nodded slowly.

She stumbled.

She followed him shakily, here eyes drooping.

Her ears were were still ringing.

Her limbs creaked as she moved.

Alexander inched his way along the wall, searching for the door through mounds of ash. Several times, he tripped over limbs. Some disconnected. Bile lurched in his stomach and he swallowed it down.

At last, he found the end of the room. He found the knob and pried off someone's stiff fingers. He pressed all his weight against the door, unable to put any force in- It had to open outward, right?

And it swung open and he fell backwards onto the floor.

Genya stifled a laugh.

She walked slowly through the door and collapsed on the ground.

She breathed shakily, wiping the blood off her face.

Genya glanced to the boy, and looked back at the ground.

Her head was spinning.

Alexander stood up again. "Let's go. That's enough rest." Alexander took her hand. "Up."
