Civil War (Short Story)

Alex stared down at the rifle in her hand. Did she really have to do this? She was officially part of the Confederate States of America.... but, she wanted to be in the Union, with her big brother Alfred... Why couldn't her city be in the north of America? She closed her eyes tightly as her boss walked in.

"Don't tell me, missing your brother?" Anna asked with a slight sneer.

"Sh-shut up." Alex glared at her boss. She then looked Anna dead in the eye, "How would you feel if you had to go to war against your brother, Justin?" She asked, cruelness clear in her tone.

Anna growled and smacked Alex across the face, "Don't even, that's different! Justin's my real brother, Alfred's just your step brother!"

"He's still my brother!" Alex insisted.

Anna only huffed with annoyance and walked out.


A few weeks later, Alfred and Alex stood on opisite sides of an open field. Both of them with an army and both of them in their military uniforms.

Alfred bitted his lip, "Alex... why?" He asked, almost looking on the verge of tears.

Alex just closed her eyes tightly, holding back her own tears.

Alex bolted awake, looking around to find that, yet again, she was in her room (Basement) in her bosses house. She saw her blue rabbit and hugged him tightly, sobbing. Blueberry licked the tears off of his owners face, trying to make her feel better.

"What was the dream about this time?" Blueberry wondered outloud.

"Civil War times." Alex replied with a sniff.
