OOC: I hope I'm not overstretching my bounds in this post, if I am, just tell me, Pokejungle, and I'll edit.
IC: I reach the gate and look nervously towards the ocean. The boats are getting nearer. "Mayor, it's me, Al! We," I indicate Rey, "have been out in the forest, talking. We didn't hear any announcement of the gate being closed. Is there anyway you can let us in?"
Just as I ask, I hear a gunshot. The leading lifeboat is very close to shore now, and a man with a gun is standing on the deck. He points the gun towards me, and I run as quick as I can, trying to keep low, heading toward a rock big enough for me to take cover. He shoots again, and I feel a pain in my shoulder as I dive behind the rock.
Who're in those lifeboats, and why are they shooting at me? I wonder as I sit there, panting. My heart beats quickly. I can't stay here. They'll get me! The forest is right on the other side of that hill I just came down....I'll have to make it.
Holding my shoulder, I make a run for it. I hear one more shot, but it doesn't hit me, and hear someone yelling. "Stop shooting, your wasting the ammo!" I don't stop running, and reach the forest. I keep running, ignoring branches slapping my face. I know I'm panicking, but, I can't stop. I've never been shot at before!
