Chapter 1: My world
Imagine a land full of exotic plants and many people. Everyone is happy. Or so it seems. Now imagine a king, strong and powerful. He is ruthless and crazed with power. There are slaves here. Each family may only have two children. When the oldest turns 10 they must give up the youngest. This child is trained as a slave. Here is a story of a slave who is only 5 years old.
"No! Mama! Come back! Please!" I shouted out to my mom. She looked panicked as I was swept away in a sea of kids. A fox boy grabbed my arm. He was older than me about 10.
"It's going to be okay. We just have to follow these people." He said softly. I felt weak and was relieved when he picked me up and carried me. I fell asleep in his arms. When I woke up we were on a train. "Hi I'm Tails. What's your name?"
"André Garcia." I replied shakily. Tails smiled at me. He then looked to the other side of the room. I looked over to. The captain had come in to (apparently) find suitable bed slaves. When he got to our row he looked straight at me and nodded his head. A guard came over and grabbed the back of my shirt. Then he hauled me out of the room. I felt like crying.
"What is your name?" The guard asked. I didn't think this was very important. My mom had told me a bit about slavery. Apparently she had been a bed slave and had then had my sister and I. I don't know who my father is but I don't care. He must be very mean to leave us.
"André." I reply flatly. The guard looks at the captain who nods. He bends down and whisper in my ear while his hands travel down…

I woke up shivering and an echidna holding me as he slept. I tried to move away but his grip was to strong. I saw a guard kick him and he instantly woke up. The guard bent down. "You sure learn fast kid you might get out of the academy in two years instead of 4." He then walked away chuckling to himself. The echidna looked over at me and pulled me closer.
