Anna woke up to a strange sound. There was yelling screaming, and something that sounded like exploding. Anna immediately jumped out of bed and opened her window. 

"Oh my gosh! Mom!" Anna walked out into the living room. "Mom, we gotta get out of here! It started! The war! The attack!" No answer. Anna was getting a little worried now. Anna looked in her mom's room, and the bed was a disaster. The blanket looked like it had been thrown across the room. There were rips in the pillowcases. Anna was scared. She ran out the door and looked around. It was complete chaos. There were people fighting, Kilamen screaming and hiding their children behind them as Tutheans held pistars* to their faces. Tutheans. Anna thought to herself. She kept running, desperate to get away from the attack, but it looked like it had spread across the whole planet. Anna ran even faster, but she tripped and fell. "Ahh!" Anna's knee was cut. She ripped off part of her shirt and used it to staunch the blood. She tied it and got up to keep running. But she felt something burning hot on her back. No! They're gonna take me!  Anna stumbled as she felt more stings in her back. She fell down again and looked up. There was an angry looking Tuthean standing above her. He was holding a smoking pistar in his hand. Anna screamed and kicked, but the Tuthean was strong.

"Shut up you worthless piece of junk!" The Tuthean shouted. Anna didn't shut up. In fact, she screamed louder than ever!

"Let me go! You can't take me! Let! Go!" Anna fought back. She shot a mini-star at him, but it worked the same way it did when she hit her mom. He only flinched a little bit. 

"You're gonna wish you had never been born, rat!" The Tuthean said. He took the pistar out and held it smack dab in the middle of her forehead. "Don't you say another word, or you won't see the light of day ever again." Anna was tough. She decided to scream more. Her mom had to hear her, right?

"Get off me!!!" Anna shouted. But the Tuthean was true to his word. Anna saw his finger pull the trigger, and felt a deep, burning pain in her head. She mumbled, "Let... go..." But the world went black.
