PROLOGUE
A girl about 13 years old was running blindly through the woods.
It was night. She was running for about 12 minutes now with all sense of direction lost but she didn't care. They were still on her tracks.
It was a miracle she got out alive but now they're finally gaining on her and she couldn't let all her efforts go to waste. People are counting on her and she can't- no, won't let them down.
It would only be minutes when they catch up to her- why not? They're using military SUVs for goodness' sake- then she would be detained while they discuss on what to do with her. They can't let her out alive. Kid or not, she ruined too many plans and destroyed secret documents among others that could take months or even years to rebuild. Most of all, she stole something precious from them.
No, I didn't steal it. It was my idea; I made a blueprint and they stole it from me!
She held the small light metal cube close to her chest under her makeshift black robe. A cheap way of camouflage.
They were gaining on her fast, she could hear them. Think! I've got to use my brain! Her intellect was her gift and it got her out of messy situations before and why not now? Those were far more extreme than her recent crisis.
I got it! If they followed every step on the blueprint, this got to work!
She steadied her breathing and slowed a little, only enough to concentrate on running for her life and setting her plan into action.
The girl took out the cube and sighed. It was beautiful and she imagined that the first time she would use it was in a glorious time… well, now's glorious enough right? She pressed the small red circle on one side of the cube then a violet on another then yellow and so on.
She smiled. It only works with a correct sequence made by the creator. Even though they changed the password on the blueprint, this was just too easy.
They were getting closer. No time for hesitation. She pressed the last button- blue. A hologram lit up with only a few symbols: 00/00/00 Location:_
She dictated the date and place specifically, praying that her trick would work. Afterwards, the symbols formed to a single one: a microphone to send a message for heads up to whomever she would send it.
I got to make this count. She hid the cube a little since the light it emitted would lead them easily to her and she wouldn't want to count on it. She spoke silently and urgently.
"Please-please help." She hesitated a little. Help? I'm not that desperate. She sighed then continued after steadying herself from a near fall. "Things are bad- no, worse. Very. You're decision would affect everything and I mean it. I'm alone and they're chasing after me. Please come fast."
The girl then pressed the blue button. It's working! In that moment of fascination, she tripped and flew a few inches before landing head first into a tree's base. It was very painful. But at least the cube's safe.
They're very near now. She couldn't get up. She was tired, bruised and very dizzy. The only thing to do now was hope, but she also knew that she was done for. But then, she saw the bright light.
