I looked down at the warm, red liquid covering her hands. My face soaked from the tears that just wouldn't seem to stop. I was sure the guards beating on the other side of the door could her the loud pounding of my heart.
With one finally bang the door flew open and the guards came charging in. "Sofia White, you are here by placed under arrest for the murder of Officer Gordon and Julia White."
Two guards picked me up from the ground, and pushed me up against the wall. My long, dark hair flying into my face. The guards took both of my hands and tied them behind my back.
"Bellamy," one of the guards shouted. "Take this prisoner to the skybox for questioning. Though by the looks of the blood on her hands we have all the proof we need." The guard the had just spoken turned her around.
I looked up to see a boy that looked just a few years older then her. He had thick, brown hair and eyes to match. He reached out and took a hold of my left arm. He lead me out of the room I was hiding in and made down the long hallway. I could feel peoples eyes on me. "Why did you do it?" I heard a deep voice ask me quietly when we where away from everyone.
"I don't except you to understand," I whispered so low I was sure he didn't hear it. Though I was wrong when I heard his reply.
"Oh, but I do."
I sat in a hard, metal chair chained to the floor. My hands still tied tightly behind my back. I was in the sky box waiting for Chancellor Jaha. To say I was nervous was an understatement. Though I was only sixteen, and I knew about the law, I had killed someone of importance and I was afraid that they wouldn't wait till my eighteenths birthday to float me.
I could already feel the tears filling my eyes when the door opened up. The Chancellor walked in with two other guards. He sat down in the chair in front of me. The guards taken their places behind him. "Can you tell me why you did it?" I kept my mouth shut and looked down at the floor. "Leave us," he told the guards.
They nodded and left without a word. "Look Sofia I promised your father that I would take care of you after his passing, so please let me help you." I remand silent. He let out a sigh before standing up, "you give me no choice."
He walked over to the door before yelling out. The two guards as before came back picking me up so that I was now standing. "Sofia White, you are now a prisoner of The Ark. On your eighteenths birthday your case will be reviewed. If you are fount guilty, you will be executed. Take her away."
I hope you enjoy. Please comment and tell me what you think.
