Hello world! This is my first fanfiction so I'm a little nervous, but I hope you all enjoy! Sorry some of the chapters are a little short. They seemed much bigger before I posted them. I'll work on making them longer as the story develops. Review or PM with any comments or suggestions!


Ch 1 - Life As I Know It

I open my mouth, trying to will sound out of it. Even though I've known for years it doesn't work. We villagers, are trained for one of three things: wheat farming, building and crafting, or working in the hospital. Being a teenager, I can only wheat farm for now. Occasionally the builders take me with them to gather new supplies, but even then all i feel is the monotony of the task.

At another failed attempt to speak, I simply sigh as i continue to work on the wheat farm I was assigned to. I felt a tap at my shoulder and looked up. My superior looked at me expectantly and I handed him the wheat I had collected so far, my partner doing the same. My partner and I had no way of communicating our names to eachother, but at birth our names were tattooed into our arms, that way we could identify eachother.

After our superior left, I looked over at my partner, who noticed and looked up at me too. Both of us had the hurt of many years staring at the other, and we both knew we wanted the same things out of life. This time, her eyes had a slightly glazed look, as if she wanted to cry. Anger took me over then, and I knew what I needed to do.
