Prologue

Jay was running down the pathway, leading to freedom. She was a few steps away when she tripped and skinned her knee. The rock hard door started closing and she wasn't going to make it.

"Get her." She heard a guard yell around a corner.

"Now, now. We don't want to make her upset now do we." No. She threw her head back in frustration. Her sister always found a way to make her stay no matter what.

"Why can't I just go out and enjoy the world for once?" Jay asked her sister. Her sister threw her head back laughing.

"Oh dear sister. Why, you have so much to learn." Lyra bent down so that her face was level with Jay's. "Guards take her back to her room and don't let her out until she's being good again." Two guards grabbed her arms and dragged her down the hall and she heard her sister laughing.

I'm going to get out of this hellhole someday. I know I am. Jay thought to herself. Closing her eyes and trying to pick up her feet so that her knees wouldn't get any bloodier.

"Let me go." Jay said, a sudden burst of anger ragging through her. She started punching and kicking and thrashing around trying to slip out of the guards firm grasp on her.

"Stop." One of the guards said tightening his grasp on her. The other guard picked up a giant rock from the ground and hit her over the head with it. Knocking her out.

Jay woke back up in her cell. She sat up fast getting up, only to fall back on the rock hard bed, her head hurting and her left knee seering with pain. She had lost a lot of blood when the guards had dragged her down the hall for as long as they had and the didn't even try to stop the bleeding. Jay ripped up the bottom of one her clean white shirts and wrapped it around the place where it was still bleeding. She was starting to get light headed and decided to lay back down on the bed, making sure to put pressure on the wound. Her cheek was cut from falling on her way out and her lip was bleeding from getting hit with the rock. Her face, arms and legs were caked in dirt and her clothing was ripped everywhere.

"Having fun?" Jay sat up to see Lyra smirking at her through the bars of the cell. "We both don't want you to be in there so just do the right thing and stop running away." Jay finished tying the wrap around her bloodied knee and limped over to her sister, putting her hands on the bars and smirked right back at her sister. Lyra stumbled back a bit not expecting Jay's reaction. Jay threw her head back laughing.

"Come here Lyra. I want to tell you something." Lyra walked over to her putting her face so close to Jay's that they could have been touching if it weren't for the bars in the way. Jay put her mouth to her sisters ear and reached her hand threw the bar, grabbing Lyra's neck and squeezing. Lyra tried to gasp, but no air came. Jay laughed again and squeezed harder.

"Give me the keys." Jay demanded. Lyra shook her head reaching her own hands to her neck trying to pry her sisters hand off. "You know Lyra. I've always know that I was crazy. I just didn't think that I was crazier then you but now I'm rethinking that." Lyra finally pryed Jay's hands off and started gasping for air. Jay laughed while Lyra ran down the hall surly finding a guard, but Lyra wasn't going to need a guard to get her out of that cell. Jay brought her hands back into the cell with the key in her left fist. She unlocked the door and ran out making sure to close and lock the door behind her. She put the key in her pocket starting to run down the hall. She heard footsteps behind her, but didn't dare to look back.

"Stop her. NOW." A guard yelled. A guard jumped out infront of her, but Jay was to prepared. She punched him hard in the nose and kneed him in the balls. He fell to the ground in pain, swearing under his breath. Jay took her hair down, letting it breath and threw her head back laughing. If only she would get to do that more often. She ran twisting and turning in all different directions. Once she had to run up the stairs and kicked a guard down the stairs making him fall into the rest of them. She finally made it to the hard rock door. It was closing again, but she slid under right before it closed. She pressed the lock button that was on the outside. She looked up at the tallest tower and saw her sister standing on the balcony.

"You're going to regret this Jay." Lyra called down to her. Jay made sure that Lyra was looking and just held up two middle fingers smiling up at her sister. She jumped into the sports car her parents gave her for her birthday five or six years ago. She realized that she didn't have the keys, but she had left it unlocked. She quickly hotwired the car and drove off down the rocky path putting down all windows and laughing. She was crazy for sure, but she liked being crazy. It ran in the family.

Now all she needed to do is find the bitch that put her in that fucking cell.
