Introduction
"I am running through darkness there is no light at the end of the tunnel," I think to myself "There is a fork in this maze of a tunnel. One side is glowing one side is not."
"Come here Toni," says my mother's voice from the glowing side. I see her silhouette, her arms open, "come here."
I begin to run suddenly the ground beneath my feet begins to tumble into more darkness…
Chapter One
I wake up soaked in sweat.
"It was only a dream," I whisper to myself, "good."
I get dressed in a black t-shirt that has two yellow, glow in the dark eyes, and an old pair of jeans, and a pair of plain white socks. Then I put my dark blonde hair in a plain ponytail on my head.
"Are you awake, Toni?"Calls my mother
"Yes, mom" I reply. I go downstairs to eat breakfast. I gasp at the sight of the kitchen. My mother stands there smiling at me and my older brother, James, just stands there. I had forgotten that it was my birthday! I was turning fifteen today. That would mean singing in the lunch room, which I was not looking forward to, singing in study hall before everyone left, and a present from Georg, my best friend.
My mom had made chocolate cupcakes with black frosting and the number fifteen on it in white frosting. My breakfast was toast, bacon, and eggs. My mom had gotten me some new high tops for my birthday and brother gave me some new sheet music. I played myself 'Happy Birthday' on our old piano. After breakfast, James and I got on the bus and every Markabee High School student sang to me, even if it was childish. I made them stop. I hated to be sung to ever since I was five. Georg asked if she could come over after school. I said yes. Then, I asked, "Why is there going to be a little party?" My answer was a smirk. 'Great,' I thought.
When I walked into Mr. March's Math Class I was sang to. I ignored them and thanked them when it was over. We were starting fractions that day; I only looked out the window watch a mocking bird look right back at me. I took a good look at the mocking bird, I stared at the bird through the entire class. I stood up to leave, still looking at the bird, it suddenly releases a bright light from its eye and I trip. The next thing I know I'm falling through the window and I hear screams before, suddenly, I black out.
When I wake up a bright light shines in my eyes and I shield them.
"I see you're awake," says a man's voice "it's a good thing you're not really dead."
"What dead?" I ask, "I not dead if I'm talking to you."
"I see you think you are in a hospital." He says
"I am in a hospital!" I interrupt.
"No you are not you are in an underground headquarters; you were in a hospital a week and a half ago. You feel from the window with broken bones, but you didn't suffer bad head trauma, you stayed for three day and 'died' when one of our undercover doctors put an injection in your that makes it seem like your dead, but you remain completely alive." he says.
"What did they bury at my funeral?," I ask "But more importantly why the hell would choose me of all people to 'kill' and steal from a perfectly happy life"
"A drone, and I didn't choose you the machine did it randomly selects a child from every country, they 'die' and are shipped to HQ," He says simply "oh I forgot to introduce myself I am Gabriel Hemming; you are in London, England." I'm given a plain t-shirt, pants, and shoes. Before Gabe takes me into a car and we take a short ride to a go in a car and take short ride to a house.
Thanks for reading. I'm an amateur writer at most, but I would love some reviews and comments :3 Thanks.
