This is a chapter I had already written, but i edited it slightly, Making sure everything looked nice and seemed to fit where i want the story to go.
Enjoy
Nothing compares to the feeling of falling or jumping. The thrill and rush you feel as the wind pushes back against you almost like it doesn't want you. The feeling I have right now, doesn't compare to that in the slightest. No this is worse. Falling out of control, blood flashing infront of my eyes, pain striking between my ribs, no wind strong enough to reject this falling object. Why I was falling...I didn't know, I just fell and fell, Hitting blackness at the bottom...Never to rise.
You'd think i wouldn't have time to think of anything, Only time to think "Ah I'm falling!". But with adrenaline slowing everything down I had a last chance idea, I fired the pistol I took from Justin, the odd sound of the gun he would recognize and come quickly. I realized something else aswell, Quickly was much too late.
Justin's PoV
"Damn it!" I quickly cursed under my breath, not knowing what else to say. I had come across some other civalist, but the "gaurds". They found us all, even me. Griffin and I were both able to run away, unsure of our escape but we were close. Close to old vending machine when we heard it. A single shot from MY pistol being fired, and we knew what it meant. We forced our tired bodies to run as fast as they could in the direction of the shot, arriving at the alley between the buildings, at just the right time to hear and see exactly what happened.
He was falling. Falling fast, there was nothing we could do. He crashed against the ground, his bones break, his body bleeds, his head cracks, his spine shatters. The sound makes me sick and the view is even worse. There was nothing we could do... He's dead, The first of our group has died. And Jordan is never to rise again.
Destiny's PoV
By the time i was informed and ran there. The body was gone, just blood remained. I dropped to my knees as i realized it really happened. The rest of my group was back the Vending Machine. Tears filled my eyes and I couldn't move. Hours later when i did return and talk to everyone else. They told me that they never moved the body, But i wasn't really listening, i just went into the sleep room and passed out, not wanting to wake up anymore.
????'s PoV
I was tired of running, I had been running all day looking for anyone. And finally...Finally I had found someone. Curled up under a dirty blanket, the head hidden, i couldn't tell who it was, but was it worth it to find out who it was? If it's a gaurd i'm screwed, but if...If it's someone on my side. I drew the blade i had started carrying after this. It's not as much of a blade as a modifited curtan rod.(you know the old aluminum ones that are painted white and have the little hook on end?) And I pulled the blanket back quickly, and i nearly cried with joy to see a familer face, Kristiana was the one curled up under the blanket, holding a small purple pack to her stomach. She had woken up once i pulled the sheet away and she grabbed my ankle, making me fall to the ground. Than realization crossed her face and she hugged me. "Noah! It's so great to see you, it's great to see anyone!" I hugged her back. "How've you been, Kristana?" I asked realizing only than how thirsty i was because of the hoarseness of my voice. Luckily she had water and we were able to wait out until the next day.
The next day we moved on, Walking east, for a long time. Passing buildings, sneaking past gaurds. Looking for anyone, or anything that could help. We found nothing. Not for days, about the time we ran out of food and only had water did we find The Vending Machine, Inside of an old broken building there was a vending machine with the glass shattered and broken, we took all the food we could carry and ran, no one there to stop us, until we tried to exit, we crashed into someone, and that's when the trouble started...
