//------------------------------// // 2 - A boat // Story: Amina's travels // by Flitterkriz //------------------------------// Fire! Fire! Everyzebra get out! Atuanya shouted while standing in the middle of the camp, multiple wounds down his neck all the way down to his knee, his dark red blood blended well with his dark yellow strips. For a older skinny zebra he lookt like a warrior of strength, bravery and rightness, a spare in his left hoove and his bloody mane in the vind looking like how you would imagen a hero from legendary storys. Smoke was starting to fill the air around the camp, the healing hut was on fire, bigger then the one I seen in my visjon. Strangest thing of all was that, normally there was all those small spirits everywhere, even past loved ones following there children or friends. I look up and the moon was fully covered by the smoke with something that was something flying over us in the sky outside the smoke but the a new big explosion behind us happen. That was when it hit me, somepony was trying to hit OUR TENT! As the explosion hit the ground, we where flung forward and roll over until I hit Atuanya, I moved one of my back hooves away from his cheek as he look down at me and gave me his hoove. Helping me up and looking to all of us saying: We are being attache, forget all your materiel stuff and get your love ones somewhere safe. My father just nodded in affirmation and helped my brother up, although the long mane makes him popular with the zebra ladies, what it doesn't help much with is when you manage to tie your legs in it. My mother lookt at my father with a love-full expression in her face, she tied her tail together with his and startet galloping out of the village. My brother lookt at me with worries in his eyes like I have never seen them and said, I have to find Adimu go with mother and father I will be fine! Without another word, he turn around and blended into the smoke with the other zebras. Standing there alone and with father and mother already out of sight, I startet galloping out of the smoke. But when I took my first step i heard a baby colt cry, its scream was of absolute terror. Without another thought, I turned and ran towards the sound. Everything was black by the smoke and night sky, suddenly I ran in to somezebra. The sound of metal hitting a rock and a irritated grunt by a male voice as I shake my head to clear out the dizziness from the crashed. The smoke was bruning in my eyes and my lungs startet to hurt as well, with this ut was challenging to avid all the fires and other zebras running around. I wounder to myself, why had they not gotten out yet? and the baby colts crying was MOVING?! I stopped at the spot and rubbed my eyes while trying to find out where the crying came from now. In my hooves I could feel fewer and fewer zebras running around, my eyes who barely could see anymore, saw something running around. As I was trying to where the sound was going, a big sound hit my ears and it all turn black. Everything hurts, I could feel a warm stinging pain in the back of my head. Trying to move my front hoove to rub my head, I heard a *clink* and felt something cold and hard restraining my hooves. As I lookt down, I saw that I had been locked down in chains and that I was in a metal box. The little light i could see was from 3 small air holes and i startet to tremble from the cold air and ice-like metal i was in. When my eyes adjusted to the dark, I notes that the metal box was bolted together and that was was laying bear on the floor of the box. the box started to move, i lay completely still and hold my breath. there was someone making stock of the boxes as i heard them counting them when i was moved, it starting to smell horrendously of cigars and sweat. work in progress, thank you for understanding and hope you enjoy the story so far. <3 hugs Flitterkriz
