Innocence:





Innocence felt a great amount of pressure on his left shoulder blade and forearm. Though, he could feel no pain, Innocence knew he was injured quite badly. Innocence lightly opened his eye's, observing the scene. His arm was trapped under a good amount of debree from the school. He wasn't sure if it was broken, or just cut, but from the little part of his arm he could see, it was bloodied. What had happened?


Oh, Innocence remembered exactly what happened. The school being shut down on a Tornado warning. The teachers yelling that everything would be okay, that the storm wasn't heading for them. The cowering in the hallways and the storm hitting the north side of the school. His side of the school. The last thing Innocence could remember, was pushing his sister against the wall, shielding her with his body, until the wind picked him up and slammed him into the wall.



This brought on a new panic towards the boy. He knew for a fact he wasn't in his school anymore, but thats not what had upset him. The fact that he couldn't see where his sister was caused him to panic.



"Kimberlynn! Kimmie!" He yelled. "Kimmie? Where are you?"

Kimberlynn





Kimberlynn moaned as she stirred. Attempting to sit up, she felt herself swayy. The world around her was literally spining. She knew she must of slammed her head, hard. Her first thought was how she was now laying in a patch of grass, when where they were had two feet of snow on the ground at the time. Maybe she was hallucinating, or maybe not. She was surronded by broken wood and bent metal, piled high. Not to mention that the grass must of been chest high, if she was to stand up.


Her eye's searched around her. Broken glass.. Wood.. Metal and.. Kimmie froze. Her eye's landed on a body of a girl. But not any girl, one of her friends.. Alice Bedgington. Alice layed on her stomach, non-moving. Alice had been siting right next to her in tha hallway when the tornado hit the school.



"Alice? Ally..." She whispered, edging closer to the girl. Kimmie gently turned her over and screamed.



Alice had a giant shard of glass sticking out from between the girls eye's. Kimberlynn began to hyperventillate. "No.. No, oh my god. No." She yelled.



A scary thought came to her mind. If Alice had suffered a fate like this, then where was her brother? Could he have had the same thing happen to him.



Kimmie attempted to stand and failed, he ankle was twisted wrong way. "Innocence?!"

Aaron closes his locker with a slam. He slings his backpack over his shoulder after filling it up with his most important stuff. Lunch, water, and his electronics. An announcement came up on the PA announcing a tornado warning. Aaron wanted all his stuff before with him at least before it gets destroyed. He grins and swaggers away, his books untouched. He wouldn't mind that loss.


Another announcement rang out through the hallways.
"Everyone down and under a desk. This school is on lockdown."


Aaron calmly rushes to an open classroom. It was empty of people but filled with desks. He frantically began to stack the desks up in a corner to protect himself. He didn't need his beautiful face messed up.


The windows began to shutter and the winds current grew stronger. Aaron is knocked back to the wall as the windows shattered and sprayed the room with broken glass. He has just enough time to cover his face before he blacked out and sank into a dark abyss.



~~~~~~



Aaron wakes up with a start. His vision was blurry, and he couldn't make out his surroundings. Aaron closes his eyes and counts to three. "Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay." he whispers to himself. He opens his eyes and looks directly above him. All he saw was blue. Aaron shifts to the side and sees the most amazing greenery he's ever saw before. Aaron looks around him again.



The sky was clear. All evidence of a storm has been erased. There was no white puffy cloud or a dark threatening one either. The ground around him was littered with rubble and debris. Aaron looks past that, and sees beautiful shrubbery and trees surrounding him. Was he in a forest? It all seemed so peaceful. He couldn't be in the same place he was before.



No sirens. No screaming. It was just him and nature. Nothing and nobody. The school was gone, why? He couldn't be dead, could he? All these questions ran through his scattered mind.



Aaron rubs his eyes, but he is stopped by shards of glass cut into his face. He painfully picks them off one by one. Each shard bloodier than the previous. He was surprised he wasn't blind. Aaron tries to stand up, but he yells out as the pain shook through his leg. His ankle was broken. What was he going to do? He knew he couldn't travel far wit this broken ankle. He needed to find help.



Aaron slowly gets up, wincing through the agony which it brought him. His backpack, still slung over his shoulder, rattled through his shaky movements.



"Is anyone out there?" He shouted through the empty void of a forest.
 
Elena let out a low, guttural moan as she began to stir from her unconscious state. It takes effort, but she manages to open her eyes, a blinding light from above forcing her squint her eyes. After a few moments in silence, Elena began to slowly sit up, letting out a painful groan as her body protested against the movement. Now that there was no light directly in her eyes, she could see that she had somehow ended up outside in the grass, surrounded by large trees, and the source of light coming from the sun above. Elena tried to stand, but she could feel the growing soreness in body now that her mind was coming to. She immediately collapsed when she tried to balance on her two feet, letting out a throaty grunt when her body made contact with the dirt and grass below. Elena could feel herself struggling to keep conscious and awake as senses were muddled and she couldn't think straight. It wasn't just the pain that brought this on, but also the turmoil in her mind as she couldn't keep up with the strangeness of the situation, how surreal and frightening it all was.


Elena remembered what had happened before the storm; she was walking back to class from the restroom when she heard the announcement to get under the desk. She hurried back and did what she was told, silently waiting for the storm to come and pass. It all happened too soon though as the tornado hit them. It seemed like it was out of nowhere; no warning sound, the winds weren't fast enough yet to produce a powerful tornado. Everyone's screams were drowned out by the howling winds of the tornado, everything was in disarray as the storm easily broke through the structure of the school and sent everyone and everything inside flying around. It was too fast for Elena to keep up. One moment she sees the tornado and the next she's high up in the sky, struggling to find at least something to hang on to and have that false sense of security.
That made Elena wonder; how was she still alive after the whole ordeal? If she fell from that height, it would have killed her. Sure, her whole body was sore and the pain was almost unbearable, but she was still alive. Elena would have liked to believe that she did die and she was in heaven, but the pain said otherwise. Was anyone else even alive and in the same forest as she was in, or is she alone and would have to fend for herself? She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a voice call out from faraway, asking if anyone else was in the forest. From the voice, she could tell that it was a young man, most likely another student from the school.


"
Hello?!" she shouted back as loud as she could, her voice echoing through the thick grove. Her heart began to beat faster as she felt renewed hope beginning to grow inside her at the thought of not being alone. She forcibly pushed herself off the ground, ignoring the protests and aches in her body, quickly going over to a tree to lean against it for support.


"
I'm here! I'm over here!" she continued shouting. Elena began to trudge her way towards the source of the voice. She fell over a few times to due the uneven terrain and of the forest floor and loge and roots hidden by the massive piles of fallen leaves. However, she got back up every time and continued to slowly make her way through the forest, ignoring the pain that shot up her body with every step she took.
 
Aaron drags his feet when he hears a yell. It sounded like a girl. Aaron grins. He wasn't alone, someone else survived this freak tornado. He tried to follow where the voice came from. The forest seemed endless.


"Help! I need some help!"He clamored.


Aaron wanted the girl to do the same. He clutches to branches and trees and anything to hold onto as he stumbles through the woods. Everything he grabbed broke as soon all of his weight landed on it. Surprisingly, he hasn't fallen yet. Aaron's eyes were affixed to the ground, hoping that his streak of not falling won't end.


Aaron's ankle screamed in agony with every step he took. He knew he wasn't going to last much longer without doing some serious damage. He collapses on the ground and looks at his surroundings. Trees as far as the eye can see. Aaron sees something move in the corner of his eye.


This makes Aaron more aware. There could be bears and wolves in the forest, but it could also be the owner of the voice that hollered out earlier. Aaron squints towards the horizon. The figure seemed to be a person. It was standing on two feet after all.


"I'm over here! Help! I'm hurt!" Aaron cries out in pain as he clutches his ankle.
 
Hearing the voice pushed Elena further as she began to move faster, hearing the urgency in the man's tone. It was hard getting through the forest, nothing at all like what books had depicted it as. Crawling over a fallen log, Elena froze as she saw a shadowed figure on the ground ahead. Her mind thinks of the worst possibilities as to what the figure was; a bear, a wolf, anything. However, at the sound of the voice shouting out, coming from the figure up ahead, Elena relaxed herself. She rushed forward, ignoring the pain shooting through her body with every movement, and knelt down beside the man.


"
How bad is it?" she hurriedly asked him, seeing as how he was clutching his ankle.
