Chapter+6++On+The+Run

"Run!" screamed James " Get them!" ordered the Ork king. The five kids were running straight for the forest. James ran and hid behind a big tall tree. He took out his pistol and aimed at one of the orks head. "Enjoy a little taste of my little friend!" He fired. The bullet zoomed by one of the orks ears and went right in the orks head that was standing behind. He stood and fell hard on the ground. Vaughn threw a sharp rock at the Ork that was about to grab James and throw him against a tree with sharp sticks sticking out. "Fool, a rock isn’t going to do anything!" He shouted. Joseph began to wrap a large stick with a sharp triangular shaped stone. He didn’t notice the Ork standing behind him. James and Vaughn heard a scream and saw Joseph being chocked by an Ork. "James, go help Joseph! I’ll distract them!" James nodded and took off. "DIE you ungrateful beast!" yelled James as he fired his pistol at the Ork chocking Joseph Joseph fell on the floor. The Ork lay motionless on the ground. Gasping for air he looked at James" Grab.......the......stick...and.....throw ....at...the Ork king." James grabbed the stick. He aimed. Spencer popped out of a bush he was hiding in and told James the Ork king is to powerful. Victor who was reloading a shotgun said the same thing. James didn’t care. He wanted to kill these animals once and for all. He threw the spear. The spear flew across the sky at lightning speed. The Ork king saw it and caught it and for James everything went slow motion. The Ork king threw the spear at James, It was going to hit him right in the chest, and Joseph stood up and jumped right in front of the spear. James stared at Joseph as he fell on his knees with a large spear going through his chest. Joseph stared at the Ork king as he looked down and saw blood come out. Vaughn, Victor, James, and Spencer stared in horror as Joseph fell on the ground. “Joseph!" screamed James as he ran to Joseph and dragged him behind a fallen tree. "Stay with me Joseph!" Victor continued firing his shotgun, Vaughn continued throwing sharp rocks, and Spencer fired his pistol. They were running low on ammo. " Please don't die Joseph, we need you!" yelled James as he holed Joseph in his arms "No you don’t need me....... not anymore." Joseph said as he gasped for air. “It was an honor ........to be .....At your side helping you James.....future king of Nazarath. “Joseph began to spit out blood and he began to breathe less as he grabbed James shirt and held it hard. " James, even though I’m not going to be with you guys anymore....." " Yes you are, just hanging in there Joseph, please!! Exclaimed James. " Listen.......James......I want to tell you that....... not let my death stop you from completing your journey...You understand?" Joseph gasped. He began to lose his strength," You were a good friend, and you will make Nazarath very proud James." Joseph coughed and stared at James. “Make........your...father........proud." Joseph closed his eyes. James cried a little. " James we need to go now!" Spencer yelled. Victor ran and told Vaughn “We need to go, stop throwing rocks and run!" James stood up and ran. He never looked back. Victor, Vaughn, James, and Spencer ran through the thick trees. The orks couldn't catch up. So they stayed there.

The Ork king stared at one of his dead Ork soldiers. "Foolish children." " Sir, should we continue following them?" asked an Ork. " Yes, but we must follow them slowly so that they won’t know that we are still on their tails." the Ork king said. " Sir we only have 13 men left, 4 wounded, 5 killed and 1,000 men 50 miles away waiting for your orders." the Ork quickly said. " Tell them to stay put. We will need them as backup soon." the Ork king said. "Yes sir, anything else?" asked the Ork soldier. " Send that 2 headed dog we have after them, so that dog can eat for once." the Ork king said. "Yes sir." the Ork soldier said. The Ork king stared at the trees and the dead boy with a spear going through his chest. " Men, we are having a boy on a spear tonight!!!!" he said laughing evilly.

James fell on the ground hard. He was out of breath and gasping for air. Spencer and the other two boys stopped. "I can't believe Joseph is dead." James said. "James he died saving his life for you, and he expects you to finish your journey." Spencer said. " I know." replied James. " Hey guys we should start actually making spears out of all these large sticks and stones." Vaughn suggested. After a quick break, they began to make spears for back up weapons. Soon they had about 20 spears piled up. Victor grabbed them and put them in a big enough bag he made and he carried them while they continued their journey. Now the four guys walked through the forest. They continued going north and they crossed a few rivers and swamps. Finally they found a place to camp. The boys lay down. " You James, did you ever think we would make it this far?" asked Victor " To tell you the truth, not really." said James. " Hey Spencer do you think we will be able to get that cyclopse eye?" asked Vaughn. " Sure, if we have enough shotgun bullets or something that can kill that thing in a second." answered Spencer. " I feel bad that Joseph is gone, don’t u guys?" asked Vaughn quietly. " Yea." everybody answered. James began to sleep. He saw Joseph with blood all over his face and body lying on the floor, gasping for air. Staring at him. " James..........HELP." " I'm here, hang in there Joseph." " James, watch out.........dog.....gone...after....you........." "What?" "WAKE UP JAMES, WAKE UP!" screamed Joseph as he gripped on James shirt. "AHHHHH!" screamed James. Gasping. Breathing deeply. It was midnight. Everyone was awake, and James was looking at Victor. He heard growling from behind a tree. Victor, Spencer, and Vaughn were staring at a bush that began to move a little bit. " What’s that sound?" asked Vaughn. " I don’t know." replied James. A dark dog looking figure appeared. " Victor, get the spears." Spencer whispered. Victor gave each boy a spear. They all pointed it at the moving bush. Then the figure moved from one bush to another at lightning speed. Everything went silent. Fear crawled up James spine. Then a dog appeared and jumped on Spencer. “Get this thing off of me!!!!" James stared in fright. The dog had two heads and it was attacking Spencer. Victor ran up and stabbed it on one of its heads. Then Vaughn ran up but wasn't able to stab the dogs second head so he drove the spear in its leg. Then James ran up and tackled the dog. Pulling out his gun, he shot it a few times. The dog stopped moving after it received about ten shots on both of its heads. Spencer stood up and stared at it. James stood up and held his left arm tightly. He was bleeding badly. Victor ripped part of his long sleeve of and wrapped James arm with it. " Thanks brother" Spencer said. " Your welcome, it’s just that I’m not going to let another guy die." replied James. The three boys continued heading north. Even though it was about 4 in the morning. James was to awake now to even sleep. They spotted an old wooden house just a mile away. They entered the house. It was all old and spider webs were all over the doors. Victor began to roam around the outside of the house to see if there wasn't any hidden passages or a basement somewhere. Vaughn began to look for any books or papers that showed who the owner was. No papers were found. So James decided to make this their resting spot, since the other three boys were still sleepy. After about 4 hours the young men continued walking. They had to cross many dangerous areas like the swamp filled with sea creatures that looked like huge life sized crocodiles. " Hey Spencer, how much time do we have left to bring back the medicine for dad?" asked James " Only about 18 days left." replied Spencer. " We got enough time boys." said Victor The 4 boys kept on walking. Vaughn saw a little town nearby. "Hey guys, I’ve heard about this place before!" exclaimed Vaughn proudly. "So?" asked Victor. " This is the town where everybody sells weapons, food, cloths, and other things!" replied Vaughn as he began to run towards the gates of the town. “Halt!" two soldiers pointed their rifles at Vaughn. "Who are you???" One asked. " Uh, I’m a friend if the prince of Nazarath and these are my other two friends Spencer and Victor." replied Vaughn nervously. " I don’t believe you." the soldier said as he pointed the rifle at Vaughn’s face and was beginning to pull the trigger. "Please, don't shoot!" Yelled James as he got in front of Victor. "I'm really the prince of Nazarath; I’ve come to get weapons to defeat the cyclopse and safe my father from dying." James replied. "Hmmmmmmmm, ok I’ll let you go then." the soldier said. "OPEN THE GATES!" screamed the second soldier. The gates opened, and to the boy’s amazement, the town was crowded with people buying all kinds of things. Vaughn ran off and went to the weapon section. James, Victor, and Spencer went to go find food and clothing. A few hours later the four boys were standing with their hands full of weapons, food, and clothes. They shoved all the food and clothes in one bag, and the weapons they carried in a separate bag. They stood at the exit when they heard the front gates opening. There, stood over 30 orks with hands full of spears and bowing arrows looking for them. The four boys hid in the crowd and ran out of the town. They heard a little girl say "They left and went over there!" James ran faster into the woods. Soon the orks will catch up. The four boys camped in the middle of thick bushes and trees. Yumazandra was very close to them now. James heard rumors that the cyclopse had a whole army that protected him and his kingdom surrounded by fire, he was not sure if the rumor was true but he was going to find out in about a week.
