Hey there, everyone! Eibon here! After some careful collaboration with Rimu, we've decided to post the first chapter of our first fanfiction and continue once we've recieved some good feedback!

Even though this first chapter is shorter than most, we hope you enjoy!

She never slows down

I think one of the hardest parts about the life that I currently live is that I am always running. Whether it is physical or mental, I am always being chased.

Today, I am literally running.

It's a nice day and I don't particularly feel tired, but I know that there is a time somewhere soon where I will have to stop and surrender. There's no way I'll ever escape; they always win these games.

But I am running every day and I am used to this; I am getting used to their tricks.

I hate them. They attatch strange machines to me that hurt when they turn them on, and I don't like it when they call me in for those "tests."

The only thing I find solace in is Evan's company.

Even though they keep him under strict security, we are friends and he knows what I am going through.

But he isn't even psychic, which is strange. When I asked him about it once, all he told me was that he wanted only to protect his sister.

If he isn't psychic, why do they still keep him? Another of my daily fears is waking up, and he suddenly isn't there. I know they kill the weak and dispose of the useless. I don't want Evan to die... He is my only friend as of now.

I can't believe I just left him like that. He was so sweet to help me escape... Originally, I had asked him to escape with me. We would start a new life somewhere, somewhere they would never find us. But he stayed behind to stall the gatekeepers, and he isn't here with me anymore...

I wish he was here... Those icy blue eyes always make me feel safe.

When I was small, I discovered my psychic power. I could read and change people's emotions, make them feel however I wanted them to. The boys in school were always subconsciously drawn to me, I had many friends because I was able to make them like me.

But I never used that on Evan. He just liked me for me. All those boys who said they liked me just because I wanted them to... They never had the same effect on me as Evan.

My running slowed slightly, but did not cease as I started to cry. I loved Evan.

As I continued down the boulevard, I made it to the end of line; the docks jutted out into the harbor, the Daedalus Bridge looming dusty and unfinished.

I stopped as I looked out into the misty waves at Satellite, where I could see the trash and old towers staring at me from afar.

There were shouts from far away, and I swiveled my head hopelessly, searching for somewhere to go.

Then the ground was no longer beneath my feet, and I was falling down into open air. Through the fraying strands of my dark hair, I could see the face of a figure, a figure that was wearing a thin smirk.

"Oops."

As I was drifting away, I had to remind myself of a few crucial things. Most importantly:

My name is Amorei Michelles. I am always running.

Always running.

Toldja it was short! This is more of an introduction to Amorei's backstory, just a snippet of what appears later on.

Thanks for reading, and leave a review on your way out!

See ya ;D
