War Torn
Disclaimer: I have no form of ownership of Code Lyoko.
Inspired by: An attack in Beslan that destroyed a school and left 186 kids and 158 adults (344 civilians) dead. True story.
Please Note: The details of my story are different from what happened in Beslan. The only commonality is the destruction of a school and death.
Different
Laughter.
White ankle-length bobby socks.
Trudging, dragging, running of feet to classes, lunch room, dorm rooms, home.
Arguing over petty things.
Home Work fussing.
Assignment giving.
The immaculate grounds of Kadic.
Great Teachers.
Annoying teachers.
All kinds of students.
Laughter.
The memory of this life we once knew. A life we all once knew flows through our minds in slow motion.
How could this have happened?
How could our lives change so much?
Rubble surrounding what was once an immaculate school. Hiding from people in camouflage who we don't know. From the moment this happened we've been flung into a horror movie. But no credits, no off-switch, no alternate ending. This was real and no unrealistic daydream, superpower, or super computer could help us. Hopefully they won't find the factory. At least Aelita will be safe.
Odd's dead.
So are many others.
Bombs falling down unsuspectingly on France. You've heard it happening elsewhere. But not here. Not now. That's what we young teenagers thought. So much older than kids, yet not so less naïve. It happened. Bombs fell. People died. Debris came of building. Running French citizens and other killed by invading troops. Nightmare, bloodshed, shrieks in crescendo. Gunfire, explosions, death, slashing of throats. This can't be real no longer exists. Only pain, heartache, and in some ways unfortunately survival.
"World War Three won't happen, not for now."
Odd said that.
"It's possible but we're well defended."
Jeremie.
"I'm not going to waste my mind on thoughts of War."
Ulrich.
"We need to move from our vicious human instincts."
Yumi.
"I need more nail polish."
Sissi.
Now Odd's dead.
Jeremie's hiding, now moving with a permanent limp.
Ulrich too, now counts off on a slab of stone the amount of invading soldier's he's killed. The number's seven. He's run from over nine hundred.
Yumi with both of them. They're one of the small hiding groups. Making holes and underground makeshift caverns that were once a part of their school Kadic, their home.
Sissi was missing. Most likely dead.
Ulrich had once seen Emily with Milly who was a part of another small group hiding around the once proudly standing school. But had to scamper when soldiers started to come around. That was two days ago. The attack on France and their school was three days prior.
Therefore making France and Kadic War Torn for five days.
At least, five days so far.
