“Mommy, where am I going?!” One girl cried out.
The train station was empty except for a line of children and their parents. Outside the train station, several black cars rested, their windows rolled down and the shiny tips of high powered rifles pointed out.
It was November tenth. A day that would go down in infamy, but as for now, history had yet to be made. The focus was on five of the world’s most precious children. The focus was on getting them onto the train and out of danger.
The five children were being showered in love as the train pulled into station. It was a monstrous thing. It was six cars long, and each side was heavily coated in shining metal. In intervals of two feet along the side, lethal looking metal spikes protruded out. Stationed on the top of the heavily defended train sat two turrets, their operators were covered by a transparent bubble of bullet proof glass.
Each child was brought into a warm embrace, everyone single person had fresh tears running down their faces. Outside the heavens seemed to be weeping as well. Heavy drops of rain began to fall. There was a crack of thunder and a brilliant flash of lightening that lit up the dank station.
“Mommy, daddy, I love you,” One by one the children were pushed away. Their parents weeping lightly as the most important things in their lives were turned from them by a blond woman in a conductor outfit.
She looked at each sobbing parent with kind blue eyes, and it seemed to comfort them as she pulled them toward the smoking train doors.
“Alessandra, go with the nice lady, we’ll see you soon,” One girl’s mother croaked out before breaking out into more sobs.
“Mommy I don’t want to go, I’m strong, I can stay and help,” a small blond girl belted out, her fragile hands were placed on her hips. Another strong boom of thunder signaled the start of a down pour. Streaks of water rushed down the many tinted station windows.
“No, honey, you have to go” Her mother responded. Finally, the blond conductor approached, and placed one hand firmly on the girl’s shoulder. The girl whipped around and knocked her hand away before gripping tightly onto her mother, tears were running down her face.
At this point, her mother fell down, the sorrow of it all was too much. The rest of the children had already boarded, their faces were all pushed up against the windows of their separate cars. Their eyes watching, their hands waving, and their mouths forming words.
The conductor moved forward, the young girl screamed, her eyes were wide with a primal fear. And for a second the conductor stopped, and the two stared at each other. The conductor had stopped half reach, and the girl had now stopped screaming. Something had clicked. Maybe it had been meeting of their eyes. Or perhaps it had been the swirling of blue and red within the girl’s eyes that had stopped the conductor. But for what seemed like an eternity the two sat staring at one and other.
Suddenly, the small girl moved forward.
“I love you mommy,” she whispered, before taking the conductors hand. “I realized that in order to save you, I have to go” Those were the last words her mother would hear from her eleven year old daughter for two years.
Leaving the grieving parents behind, the train gave a wailing cry and the doors shut. The conductor watched the parents reach out, and she realized how important the cargo was now.
Outside the rain continued to get heavier, and the black cars rolled their windows up and sped away, leaving the station behind.
Hope would soon come in the form of five children.
The fate of the world sat in their delicate hands.
