The waterfall
After the weeping Matthews wife Sara told him the whole story step by step. Sara said that “after we left everyone was still sleeping” Sara saw something coming from afar. She was very tired so she thought it was Matthew. Soon after someone put a bag over her head and she heard people weeping and crying. They then flooded the whole town with the waterfall. They built a dam on the bottom of the creek. They told the people of the village to walk all around the waterfall until we get in the back. We still had a blindfold on but I knew they were watching you because they said watch after Matthew. Then when they saw you go into the waterfall the gang brought them back and they took off their blindfolds. Then one person from the village argued with the gang. Then everyone started to yell so Sara knew it was her chance so she took the children and ran to the waterfall. Then the gang who captured them took their guns and shot them in the air.
They said “all of you line up so we can count you” there were three people missing. Before more people left they shot them all one by one. Then put them in a pile and burned them after she told Matthew what happened they grabbed their kids and got out of there before more the gang comes to look. When they got down the river they heard the people talking. So they ran to their secret door were they keep a few extra boats. They floated down the river to a small village about the same size as Mathews They go to the village and tell them the whole story of what happened. The leader of the town Mr. Dally said we will help you with your problem. Mr. Dally told his town and said lets go up to where this village was. They gather up the town and row up the river. They dock the boats by the rocks and get out the weapons. What Matthew and his wife don’t know is the whole village was highly trained marines. That was dressed up as farmers. The marines got their guns and ran up to the hill. Then general Dally said we have you surrounded drop your weapons or die. The gang then started to release fire but the marines were too good.
The marines get ready they crouch down and get ready to aim. Then they release fire the marines take out their RPGs and blow them sky high. Matthew and his family were still by the rocks which by the boats. The marines go down to the hill to check if anyone is still alive. After they do that they take the bodies and put them in the boats and let them float down the river. After that the general of the marines gets the family and says were going to take a look around to see if we can find any more people from the gang. As they were walking up the hill they heard a gunshot. They all look up to see there was a whole army of people surrounding them. The general said” they probably heard the gun shots from the last battle so there must be a camp somewhere.” Now there were only 150 marines and 250 people from the gang. The leaders of the gang said drop all your weapons and we won’t hurt you. The marines knew they were outnumbered but the general said we die fighting. So after that they picked up their guns and turned around and told us to run. After that we ran never looked back and heard bullet after bullet. I heard the general yell FREEDOM!!! And they took cover and held them of but not for long.
The general said there are more coming very soon. So he called for reinforcements. Quickly after he called in more men for help the gang came running down the hill and released fire on the marines. The marine’s weapons were newer and a lot better than the gangs. So the general takes out their biggest gun they have. He takes out the mini gun that shoots like 100 bullets in a second. Right when that gun came out the gang died and the ones that were left all surrender to the general. Then the general came to Matthew, his wife and children and said thank you for coming to us if it wasn’t for you and your family we wouldn’t have found the gang and we have been tracking them for years. So to thank you we are going to give u 1 million dollars so you can rebuild your village from start. Matthew says that is too much but thank you. So the general said no please you did us a very big favor. So the first thing that Matthew wants to build is a church for the people of the town. Then he builds a house but he couldn’t do it by himself so he goes out and grabs a bunch of strong men to come and help him so he can finish soon
It was about a month later the whole town was built so Matthew and his family had a great rest of their life. Matthew become governor of the town and took charge of everything. But what Matthew will never forget is that if it wasn’t for god he and his family wouldn’t be where they are now.
