Chapter 12 - The Walls of Hell

Daniel and Aaron ran... Ran as if their lives depended on it. Because they did. They ran faster than any soldier they had ever mentored, faster than the enimie running beind. Gunshots rikishaeing behind them. Rocks kicking up behind each other. Hitting one another in the face, the eyes, they didn't care. The Adrenolin rusjing through their viens... They had been running for what seemed like the most terrifying hours of their lives. 3 minutes to go... Half way there... Half way to the exit... All they could think was Run! Run! Run! Aaron ran faster then he had ever ran, he had to make it out. Just one more day, Just one more minute, Survive! He had to get home to Peyton, to their unbord child, his sitster, her wedding, his nefew, and one more or niece on the way... And so did Daniel... Daniel... Daniel... Aaron turned... He heard the shriek of pain coming from behind him... Daniel... He was shot in the arm... He turned around and put him on his shoulder... He tried to run. Faster then he could, they saw the exit... 20 feet. But there was a problem, time had ran out... But they werent trapped as in the worse case senerio, they doors were open. The enimie less than a mile away. Still their bullets sped past them... The plan had failed... They led the enimie to the base... "Come on Daniel. 10 feet. We will figure it our from there. Daniel nodded and walked quickly with him... Until... Aaron was pushed to the ground, As he was he saw the metal fence go up ward. A fence... Between him and Daniel. Daniel was with the enimie... Daniel had pulled the backup lever. It had worked. But it locked him inside. "DANIEL!!! ENTER THE CODE, COME ON. GET OUT OF THERE!!!" Daniel locked eyes with his brother. "Im sorry Aaron, I can't... They will escape." Daniel was bleeding more and more now, he was panting in pain and exhaution. "DANEL! Please! ENTER THE CODE. WE CAN GET OUT OF HERE!!!" Daniel had 2 minutes before the heavy walls cam down over the fence... "I'm sorry... I cant... I promised Dad... I would help end this with you... My time is now... But yours is still here. Live it... I had the talk with Atticus, he will understand... Tell Maya I loved her, And that I hope she and our children will be safe... I wish Katlyn and Jin a life of happiness... And I'm sorry I could't be there to see it. And my new nefew, or niece... I hope that you guys will have a beautiful child. And that You and Peyton will BOTH be able to See him or her grow up into a strong adualt... Tell Atticus Oboete iru... I love you little bro." Aaron was silent, this wasn't happening... Again... "Daniel?"..... "I have to... Aaron... I'll say hi to your parents, tell Katlyn that I'll say hi to ours too." Aaron couldn't imagine a world without Daniel... "Daniel? Daniel? Daniel, THE WALL!!! DANIEL! PLEASE! DANIEL!" The wall had started closing... "Aaron, I love you little bro. I love all of you... Take care of my. family... I'll miss you guys... Oboete iru." They tried to hold each others gaze, until the wall divided them. It was done.... Gone.... Daniel was gone... At the hands of the enimie... "DANIEL!!!" Aaron banged on the doors, He banged. He pounded. Nothing. Until Xao jad to pull him away. Kicking and fighting to help his brother. Being attackef by over 3000 men. And then to be blown to shreds. Aaron looked at his hands, bloody, part his and Daniels. He had cut them on the metal door. They stayed at the top. 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... BANG....

It was over... Everyone in there was dead... Including Daniel... Aaron didn't cry, he just stared at his hands. He held Daniels dog tags. He had given them to him before the wall divided them, along with a letter he wrote incase this thing happened... Then the tears came... Along with the stabbing heart pain that Aaron realized his brother was gone... The one who helped him ride a bike... The one who taught him how to wear a tie. How to flirt. How to not cry at his fatjers funeral. To remeber the good in people, and not the bad, nor the tragety. And that we are all apart of something bigger. Daniel was gone... Daniel was gone... Somewhere in a pile of ash. Destined to be burried among the enimie... His last seconds... His last words heard by a soldier who probably killed him before the blast... As he burned in the walls of the cave... Alone. Dark. Afraid. Dead. Like the walls of the underworld... The Walls of Hell...
