Devastation Dirt was picked up in the wind as trees bent in this breeze. Light brown hair teased this tall slender boys nose. He looked around to see if anything survived. He saw animals running through the brush. His eyes went back to the long narrow dirt road his parents had traveled on to go to town. They went to town very frequently. It was cold the boy had on a thick jacket with fur covering the inside and around the hood which he had down. Feet took this teenage boy toward the highway. Which was right after the dusty dirt road. “Okay feet! I want to find mom and dad too. But what if they come back.” the boy thought he reached the end of the really long dirt road. Hazel eyes widened in front of him was a puddle of blood. This frightened him so much he ran back into the big brick. He and his family built when he was five years old. Inside he grabbed his book bag filling it with clothes, first aid kit, food and then went on the hunt for his father's guns. “I hope no one is dead” he thought to himself. Sadly he found no guns just the knife his father gave him when boys at school bullied him. The boy ran back down the road to the blood spot. Suddenly he was struck from behind. When his eyes opened a boy was staring back at him. It was all blurry and there was searing pain the back of the head.”oww” the long haired one said.”i had to make sure you had no weapons.you do naughty boy” the black haired one said.” i was scared it is just a knife” the long one said straining to get free.”yeah a knife” the black haired one said putting it up to his neck.”please i was not going to hurt anyone with it that's why it was in my pack.i was scared i seen blood” the long haired one said. The black haired pulled the knife back.”a lot of people are dead. I don't want to responsible for your death.what is your name?” the black haired one said then asked.”Devin” the long haired one said.”my name is marshal” the blacked haired one said. “Marshal can you untie me please” Devin asked.”oh yeah…” marshal started to say more till he seen that Devin was shivering without his jacket.”yeah let me get on that” marshal said Devin's breathing was ridged.marshal could see his breath Devin's lips were turning blue.marshal quickly untied him wrapping him in his jacket. “Is there any more food at your house”Marshal asked.”y-yes” Devin said shaking his eyes almost closed.”wake up Dev”marshal said Devin opened one eye so marshal picked him up.”we need to get the rest of the food so we can survive” marshal said.”okay”Devin said closing his eyes again.”wake up i need directions” marshal almost screamed.”down the dirt road”Devin said marshal ran down the road.”Devin the brick right” marshal said looking down Devin was passed out. “Damn it well the door is open we will go inside” Marshal said going in seeing pictures of Devin everywhere.”this is the right house alright” Marshal said to himself laying Devin on the couch in front of the fireplace. Marshal wrapped him in blankets then started filling his bag with food.he found matches so he started the fireplace.”warm up Devin i don't want your lips to be blue” marshal said then went into a room that had a huge bed in it and one dressed. He searched the drawers to find dirty pictures.marshal took the clothes that where men's.then went into Devin’s room grabbing more of his stuff.when he got in the living room Devin was still asleep.”Devin wake up we have to get out of here”marshal said Devin opened his eyes. “Did you get everything we need?” Devin asked sitting up arms in his lap. “Where are sleeping bags and blankets” Marshal asked Devin pointed to the closet behind him. Marshal took a lot of blankets and all the sleeping bags. “Can you stand?” Marshal asked watching him. “Yeah” Devin said trying to stand up his legs were shaking. So Marshal put his arm around his waist to help Devin stand. “Put your jacket on okay” Marshal said as he helped Devin put his arms in the sleeves then Devin zipped it up. “Let's go” Marshal said impatiently as they went out the door. “Ahh! My head hurts” Devin said with his hand covering his forehead. “Hold on to the door i will be back” Marshal said Devin grabbed onto the door for support. Marshal went back inside grabbing the pain meds that were on the kitchen counter. When he was walking back out the door they heard a scream in the distance. “We should really go find out where that is coming from” Marshal said putting Devin on his back giving him the medicine. Devin put the medicine in his mouth as Marshal ran back to camp. There was a red haired caught in a trap.Marshal put Devin down on the ground grabbing the knife lunging at the boy. “Ahh! no please” the redhead screamed. ”Don't” Devin yelled at Marshal making him stop half way. “He is tied up he can't hurt us” Devin said. “Who are and what do ya want?” Marshal said pointing the knife at him. “I am Scotty and i just wanted to see if anyone was here” the redhead said. “I don't trust you” Marshal said to Scotty looking at Devin’s head. “Sorry about that” Marshal said to Devin. “He is bleeding Marshal” Devin said Marshal looked at Scotty. “Crap” Marshal said standing up going over there pinching his neck putting scotty to sleep. Then he cut the rope off of Scotty’s leg then wrapping the wound. “He wasted a good trap” Marshal said with a scowl wrapping Devin’s head wound.
