The wind was already howling outside, whistling through the nooks and crannies of the old house in warning of the storm to come. "Are we leaving?" she asked, walking away from the window while rubbing her hands in worry. She paced across the small, cramped living room to sit next to Wesley on the couch. Her older brother furrowed his brow in worry. "I don't know..." he replied sadly. "Reason keeps telling me I should, but if we leave this late, we might get caught in the storm. I'd rather wait it out here than in the old car." He looked away, and Maria stared at her shaking hands. They had to make a decision, and fast - or else... Suddenly, Wesley stood. Looking at Maria with new intent in his eyes, he said boldly, "Let's go." Maria leaped to her feet, rubbing her hands nervously again. Wesley grabbed his coat, handed Maria hers, and tentatively opened the front door leading to the harsh outside. After opening it an inch, it was ripped from his hands, slamming against the side of the house as the wind shrieked through. Grabbing Maria's hand, he led her around the side of the house to the car, waiting impatiently in the driveway. Both of them hurriedly got in, Wesley in the driver's seat, Maria next to him. Wesley grabbed at the keys in the ignition and gave them a quick twist. Nothing. He tried it again, a bit more forcefully this time. The car whined, and then was silent. Two more times Wesley frantically attempted to get the car started, but to no avail. He turned to Maria, his face pale. "I guess we're waiting it out here," he said, his voice trembling. ((Sorry if that was a bit long... >.<)) Scenario: War is sweeping across Lakna, a large but relatively unpopulated mountain country. Their neighbor, the country of Kelan, has raised up its army in an attempt to take over the world and put it under their own regime. As Lakna is so huge, it has taken them awhile to cross it, but they are about to succeed. In the small mining town of Yonoka, the first taste of war has come in the form of a Kelan scout group. These people are not accustomed to or ready for war - what are they supposed to do when it comes to them?
