First Light - 2

The fire raged across the forest, leaping and crackling on the leaves and barks, tearing at trees as a screaming fury with its anger growing unchecked. Jen was walking up the stairway when she heard it, at first she strained her ears but as it got closer, it became the unmistakable sound of a forest fire.

"Dad! Mom! Fire!"she screamed as she rushed up the stairs, the smoke started to seep under the door.

--------------------------------

"Hey, get that fire up before we come back ok?"
"Huh. Do you think my ability is that bad?"

"No, its worse." Jake grinned as he and Nathan dodged a glowing stick, turning around, they walked away from their camp and into the depths of the surrounding foliage.

"Hey this camp is pretty great huh? No drills or running, man this is the life."Jake commented to Nathan. "Hey, are you listening?" he asked when Nathan cocked his head.

"Wait listen, there is -" Nathan's second part of the speech was drowned out by a comet streaking past their heads, they looked at each other before a resounding explosion rocked across the landscape.

First Light

The first rays of the Adrain system sun touched the cheeks of Jen Winters, she was, considered by most, a calming presence to have around and an imposing one too, considering that she was a renowned singer.As the waves lapped gently at the rock base of the cliff below, she turned back towards the house which stood behind her, the first signs of its inhabitants rising were starting to show.

The back door swung open to her touch, her mother looked up and smiled, "Up so early? Can you help me wake up your father? He is still sleeping I presume."

Jen nodded and crossed the kitchen, meaning to throw her brother an insult on waking up later then her but she stopped. He was at a camp, her heart tugged, he was always the one to insert the merriness into the family, she sighed, it was going to become diffrent without him.

Tactical Front

Beyond the coast, lay a ship. A behemoth to be exact. But as the Fourth rushed towards it, even with the advanced technology it had, it could not hope to resist it, for the battle between the living and the dead had begun.
