Is It The End (Part 3) The Battle

3 teens deal with more problems, as they find out that a battle is going on just down the road from the town they are staying at. Then James finds out something, something different. As James finds out about why this is going on, is it all his fault...
It has been over a week since I have seen my parents, went to school, and hated everyone around me. I don’t know what is going to happen next. Was this the end of the world? How many times I have asked myself that question I cannot count. Amy, David and I have been riding in a car for about 2 days, stopping whenever we see a deserted gas station to fill up the car or to get food. We all knew deep inside that we were in trouble. We knew that we were never going to survive with the way things are going.

"Hay Amy, have you got any sleep," I asked. "Um, yeah, last week before the bomb went off," She snapped. "You don’t have to snap at me, do you really think that I want to be here right now?" I said, my voice rising with every word. "Would both of you idiots stop yelling and fighting?" David warned. We did not talk for about an hour. David drove some; his arm was a lot better now that he got the meds that he needed. "You know what; I think that it is time we found somewhere to stay. We can’t spend our life in this car," Amy complained. "Well, when you see a town that is not blown down, you tell-," "Town, blown down, it rimes," David interrupted. "Oh ha ha, really funny, are you are drugs or something," I said. "Just trying to laugh, you realize how stressed out you two are," David said, sounding worn out. "Oh, I wonder why," Amy snapped. "Would both of you SHUT UP. Amy, stop jumping down people throats, we are all worried you know," I said, my temper rising. We did not talk for another hour. "James, James, dude, circuit city right over there. Maybe we can find a TV and see if there is news on," David said excitedly. "For once David, you are a genius," Amy said. "Yeah, I kno- HAY, I’M SMART!" David yelled. "You know what I mean," Amy said, laughing. We polled in the circuit city parking lot. No one was inside as I could see, and the doors were open, so we decided to go in and see if we could find a TV. "Found one, over here," Amy said as she turned on the TV. "It is all fuzz. Um, James, go and see if a computer works, and try to get onto the internet ,David, get some good CDs," She commanded. I went over to look for the computers. I found a laptop that I decided to take with me, along with some DVDs. I clicked on the internet and it worked, almost leaping in the air, I went to yahoo news. I looked down to find some info about the bomb.

A very tragic thing has happened in the last week. We lost millions of people in this horrible terrorist act.

From what I have heard. Please be aware that tourists are still out there, surrounding the streets. Please seek a shelter as soon as you can. If you encounter a terrorist, do not try to fight back, do what he/she tells you. ALSO: the closest towns that have not been destroyed are listed below.

I looked below to find some hint about were to go. Our town was the top of the list that has been blown down. As I looked down I saw a town that was only 30min from where we were now. "Amy, come here," I yelled. "Yeah, what, did you find something?" She asked hopefully. "Yeah, there is a town about 30min away from here, that is where we need to go. Did you get what you needed, oh, see if you can find some food in here too," I said. "Um, James, this is a electronic store, I don’t think that there are going to be any food around here," She said, smirking. "Ok, OK, DAVID, ARE YOU COMING?" I asked. "I’m here," David said. As predicted. He was holding tones of CDs, an XBOX 360, a Playstation 3, a prepay cell phone (he found on the ground), and a PSP. "Ok David. Put the Xbox, and the playstation down, along with all of those CDs. I guess you can take the PSP. Keep the cell phone, it might come in handy, um, I am going to grab a satellite computer, one that will be on the internet wherever you go, we need one anyway, meet me in the car," I told David and Amy. After we got all our stuff (and David was dramatically playing the PSP) we headed off. "Amy, get on the laptop and try to find more info about the bomb, see if there is a chat line that is in the United States," I said. About five min later, Amy already found what I asked for. "Alright, I am on a chat line and it looks like the bombs went off all around the US. This person gave me a link, anyway, the sight she gave me says that there might be a major war. Here, I’ll just read this: We will never know what has happened, more like why this happened. As we know, there has been nuclear bombs that has gone off in the U.S., even worse, all around the U.S. We have terrorist in the United States. May God bless you. This might be the end of the U.S.’ She finished reading with a fear in her eyes. "It looks like the reason we have lost tones of solders is because there were nukes set up around there base. They all went off at the same time, in the military bases. It looks like those little things that they got shipped to them, like laptops, had the nukes stored in them, and it was too late once they all went off. I don’t know what is going to happen, but whatever it is, it is not good. This might be the end of the world. Why is this happening? Oh, I have been wanting to ask you; didn’t you have a dream about this?" She asked. "Yeah, I did. I don’t know if it was much as a dream, more of a vision. I don’t think that we would be alive right now if I did not see that, I think God gave it-""Don’t start getting all religious on me," Amy interrupted. "Amy, I’m serious, I think that I am right, I mean, what else could explain it?" I asked. "You know Amy, I think he is right, he did have some kind of a vision. It had to come from somewhere, you can’t explain this without God," David said. "Alright, BOTH OF YOU SHUTUP" She yelled. We did not talk for a while. We knew that Amy was thinking about it deep inside. After about thirty-five minutes of driving, we found a town. It looked like it was torn up, but it was defiantly a town, it was still standing at lest. There was a man standing outside of the town’s entrance. "Uh, hello," I said to the man. "You little kids drive?" He asked. "Why don’t you shut up before I come over there and kick you ass!" David yelled. I think that ‘little kids’ offended him. "Are you going to help us or what?" I asked him. "Well, not if you need toys to-""If you are not going to help us, quite wasting our time, GOT IT?" I yelled, getting angry at the man. "James, lets just get out of here, there is another town about an hour away from here," Amy said. "Ok, lets-""you are not going anywhere!" The man yelled. He went for his pocket, obviously to pull out a gun, but I was way ahead of him. I pointed the gun at his head. "Why don’t you give me your gun, and leave us alone. I have already killed one guy, I have no problem killing you," I said. "Ok, just hold on, there is a battle going on, between towns. Just up the road, I can’t let you go, if you go up the road, you will die. Just, just stay here for the night. There is a hotel here, just stay there, no charge, we have enough rooms for everyone, anyway, oh, by the way, you kids should not be sleeping together, it is too-"" You are trying to piss me off aren’t you, now, before you get your brains blown out, open this gate, GOT IT." David said. He did, and we drove on. "Ok, this must be the hotel, we are all going to stay in one room, I am not having anyone splitting up, ok, now, lets get something to eat," I said, now noticing how hungry I was. After we sat down at the table, we all got our food. We took are time to eat, not talking, everyone just thinking. "James" Amy said. "Yeah," I asked? "I need to find my parents," She said, close to tears again. "Don’t we all, but we have to keep going, lets just get to our room and get some sleep. I am really getting tired," I said, yarning. After we got up to our room, we all fell asleep, Amy and David is the two beds, and me on the floor.

I awoke the next morning with guns firing. "Amy, David, GET UP, NOW," I yelled. "What," Amy said. "There is gunfire outside, where’s David?" I asked. "I, I don’t know," Amy said, looking annoyed. "Ok, stay here, I have to find him," I said. As I walked around to try and find David, I could see dead people, lying on the ground. There was tones of blood, I couldn’t help but gasp. As I looked around my heart almost stopped dead, there was David, on the floor, bleeding. "DAVID. Are you ok," I asked looking frightened. "Wh-fine, just dandy. I got shot James, here. There is gun fire outside. There here, they have come to this town to kill you James, you have to get out of here now," David said. "OK, Wha- What in THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" I asked, looking worried and angry at the same time. "I don’t really understand, but it seems that you are the one that, somehow, warned the world about this. You are the one that had the visions. They know somehow that you foretold this. They are here to kill you," David said, looking close to tears. "Ok, we have to get out of here now. Can you walk?" I asked hopefully. "Yeah. James, I got shot in the arm. It just skidded my shoulder, I will be fine, don’t worry," David said cheerfully. "You must be having mood swings. Ok, let’s go get Amy," I said. We ran up to our rooms but suddenly stopped. We could hear someone else at the door. "Ok girl, were is your little friends, this is the last time I am going to-" I burst in the room and smacked him with a bat. I heard his nose break. Then I pulled out a gun (luckily it had a silencer) and shot him in the head. "WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?" David yelled at Amy. "Well, you know how I like to have deep conversations with the enemy," said Amy darkly. "Would both of you shut-up and let me think. David said that there are people after me because of what I saw. If this is true, then we are all in danger. We have to split-" "We are not going to split up. What in the world are you thinking? If we die, we all die together, understand!" Amy commanded. "Ok, but on your heads it will be" I said. "Let’s go!" David said sternly. We ran out side. Know one seems to notice it was me. We got into the car and ran for it. Know one seemed to know that we have gone. "So, now that half the U.S wants me to be dead, you want to get out of the country?" I asked sarcastically. "You know, you might be right" Amy said, thinking. "I was kidding".

In the end we planed to stay in the U.S, but keep on the run. With water and food getting to a scarce supply, we had to stop somewhere. We knew that we had to make it quick. One false move could kill my friends. I could not be responsible for a death. It could not happen. It came down to one thing now, we had to run. We could not stop running until we got to a safe place, or until this whole thing is over. It could be as I feared the end of the world. Everything that I once hated, school, family life, math, idiots in my class that I knew were dead, it now over, all over. I knew deep inside that I will always be on the run, but I knew that whatever twisted path I have ahead of me, I felt a little lift in knowing that whatever I go, David and Amy will always be by my side. It is going to be hard, whatever comes up. I had no plan, but I knew that God will help me through this. He gave me this vision for a reason. I have to somehow use it to end what is going on.

Readers note:
Sorry for the LONG wait. I did not write at all this summer, but now that school has started up, I can type this story instead of sleeping in class. Just kidding!! Hopefully you will enjoy this. Make sure you have read the whole thing. Part 4 is going to be about how Amy, David and James are on the run. I think, but don’t hold me to it. ALSO, it would really help if you left comments. Someone left comments with the name of the people in the book, really funny! So far, I have got good ratings on this story, so tell me what you think in leaving comments, PLEASE!!!!

Hope you enjoyed, or if you read this first, will enjoy.
