A\N: This is my second story I publish. My first done seemed to be not so good. Yep. This chapter is really short (but next one will be longer), this is mostly an introduction to it. So here you go! Please review if you read this. If its good or not. I want honest reviews! Enjoy! :)
I lie alone in my room thinking about things until Ky gets home. It's been months since we moved to our own tiny apartment. Where we meet only at evening and go directly to our separate rooms and I, waking up, always to find that Ky has already left. We never have time for ourselves. I mean, I shouldn't give myself so much importance in his life. He has his job and he loves his job just I like mine, but we don't talk much. He is usually tired these days and troubled about something he won't tell me what it is.
I listen to the noise of the doorknob when it turns. My heart jumps at the noise, knowing that Ky arrived.
I open my door to my room and see him close the door and locking it. He catches my eyes and a chill goes up my spine as I see his. They are black this time, with bags under them, as if they have no life. Ky smiles at me as if he thinks he can hide his lack of sleep. What is he not telling me?
"Are you okay?" I blurt out.
Ky eyes me,"You don't say hello now?"
I don't say anything as he approaches the kitchen and takes his plate and starts eating standing up. It seems hours when he finally says,"They found Patrick's body yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
My heart sinks as I hear that,"They did? I thought he... Is that why you are like that?"
Ky doesn't say anything as he keeps eating, stuffing food inside his mouth, making it harder to swallow every second.
"Slow down Ky." I say placing a hand on his arm which is colder than ice. I quickly take my hand away. He looks at me with a face I cannot tell what he is feeling. He quickly looks away and puts down the plate.
He puts his hands on the counter and looks up and sighs."Isallie and I are working together on a new project Anna is making us do."
Isallie. She is about a few months older than me and she is probably one of the most beautiful girl pilots at Ky's base. Sometimes I worry he might fall in love with her beauty. Look at me. I'm jealous of her and I only met her once and she was very kind and sweet. I shouldn't be worried. She has her love and Ky has me. The thing that amazes me of her is that she is married and she is only nineteen. Sometimes I daydream how life would be if Ky and I got married at this age.
"What's the project about?" I ask trying to forget about Isallie.
"We are bringing relatives together again. Flying them in our ships. Anna commanded people to make larger ships to do so. Isn't it great? She's thinking that after we do that to make it as an activity. People did it before. You know, before the Society and the Rising. Traveling on things called planes." Ky tells me.
I can tell he is really excited about it. Then I had an idea,"Did they also fly to the Otherlands? In those planes?"
Ky nods,"Yeah, but Anna is thinking planes inside here not to travel to the Otherlands- yet."
I smile at him and he smiles back. He places his plate inside the incinerator and walks up to his door,"I'm going to sleep."
"So early?" I ask, I probably sound like a child.
"Yeah. I'm tired." he says, his face, when he came in, coming back."I saw Bram and your mother today. They told me to say hi for them."
I smile and try one more time,"Okay. Are you sure you don't have anything to say to me?"
Ky gives a small smile,"Good night, Cassia."
*****Page Break*****
It's my birthday today. One year after my Matching Banquet. It seems years ago. Ky left me a note this morning telling me he is going to pick me up early at work in the afternoon. I walk lightly to work thinking of what he would do today to me. Could it be a romantic dinner or a poem recital? I couldn't wait. As I walk I hear a raspy voice calling my name lightly. I look back but there isn't anyone once I look upfront a girl stands with a coat over her head.
"Cassia. You need to run. Escape. Fast." she says.
"Who are-" I began, but the girl takes off the coat and leaves me speechless.
I can only make out one word.
"Indie."
A/N: Indie's back! Yep. Enjoyed it? No? Review please!
