The Soldiers had arrived suddenly last week surprising the locals and causing suspicion and terror. It was after the strange men left that life changed for Laura, When they left they had placed strange blue torches around the village and said they were a present to the town. Initially Laura had been mesmerized by exotic flames until she noticed how the air around it was starting to feel strange and hard to breathe, nobody else had been complaining about them but she was still wary of them, as a result of this most of the people in the village were lecturing her and saying things like "you shouldn't insult them when they are helping us" Still she wanted to do something today rather than stay in the town so she decided to go off and fetch some flowers for one of the neighbours who had been feeling ill recently, the store flowers were kind of expensive  so this would save her a lot of money, The pig-like soldiers didn't like people leaving the town but Laura knew a way out, she moved a panel in a stone wall revealing that it was hollow, and walked up to the mountain through the makeshift tunnel.


After a lot of crawling she finally got to the other hatch and stopped to take in the fresh alpine air, a few meters away stood the flower fields with al sorts of pansies as other plants all waiting to be picked, she pulled a bag out of a pocket in her skirt and hurried over gleefully sorting between what flowers to leave and what to take, eventually after picking for so long she fell onto her back and lay there looking at the sky and smiling, this was the only part of the town that didn't have that odd feeling that she felt coming from the torches,she sat there dreamily slowly closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep..



She awoke with a start, the sun had gone down and the moon was out casting a white light onto the hill, the town somehow seemed to be glowing, Rubbing her eyes she picked up her bag and looked at her town at night, suddenly a bright blue flash erupted from the middle of the town, Back at the town the blue flames were spreading off their poles and engulfing everything, the strange thing was that instead of burning things were just fading. Just like someone was using an eraser to remove a drawing.. But when a drawing was erased you didn't hear people crying in confusion or not know what was going to disappear. The flames suddenly fanned out and made a circle trapping the entire town in a ring. At this time Laura was still running when the ring closed, she tried to enter but the wall resisted her and sent her flying through the air,  She started walking to the surrounding hills hoping to find help  but she couldn't help it and took one more look as slowly the bright lights of the town she had lived in slowly faded away..
How Laura Started her journey, I wonder who those soldiers could of been..
