Preface
When you stare death in the face and think to yourself, there are so many ways of dying and I choose the right way. That's good, but like me there are some people who choose the wrong way and end up thinking to them self, life sucks but death is way worse, then you know that you are not going to end up in a happy afterlife.
Chapter one:
It's just my brother and me. My parents died in a terrible accident and left us a house and $2.00 in a savings account. The mortgage has already been paid off before they died. Every night before I go to bed I think to myself and say "one day life will be better". I have been doing that ever since I knew how to talk. Except that when I was little I was talking about getting a pony. Now it is just life in general. I work at the only place that would hire in the domain area, a fast food restaurant. My brother makes most of the money. This is paying off the school bills and electricity. I pay for food and everything else that is cheap. Yes, I don't have the best life but like I say "Life Will Get Better."
It is a Tuesday morning. The air is crisp and it is time for my winter jacket. The alarm clock goes off as the smell of bacon wafts into the room. I get up and out of bed to get dressed. I have a strange feeling about today but I ignore it. I walk outside to see Trent making breakfast. "Good morning sleepyhead." He said "Breakfast is served." I sat down at the table as he sat down two plates with about five pieces of bacon on each. "Well, you're in a happy mood today." I said with a mouth full of bacon. "Yep! Today I get to skip biology to go on a field trip to a garden" he said. He took a look at his bacon then mine, stole a piece, then kept talking. "Heather is in biology and I don't want to see her after she breaks up with Tyler for the fifth time." He said as he finished his bacon and took it to the sink to wash. "What's so wrong about that? She's going to ignore you like always. Anyway why do you care?" I asked as I finished my last piece and gave the plate to him to wash. "Well she always cries and I can't concentrate on my work." He said. Trent finished washing and put them on a towel to dry. We grabbed our baggies for school and walked out the door. Most of the leaves on the trees were gone except our good climbing tree. The leaves rustled in the wind as it blew in my face. We started walking down the trail leading to school. With a crunch after every step it was hard to hear each other. It was so peaceful. We heard a crunch behind us but ignored it. We kept walking until we heard it again. We both turned around and in back of us were two people each with empty potato bags. We tried to run but they were faster they bagged us and dragged us till we finally stopped trying to get out. It was then that they took the bags off and taped our mouths and tied us up with rope. Then they bagged us up again. I didn't know what was going on. They dragged us for what seemed like forever. Every bump felt like the last, every turn made me turn onto my side before I got the courage to turn back in time for yet another turn. I was starting to get hungry when I realized that this was all a dream. I tried to pinch me to see if I was right. Ow. Nope, not dreaming. My stomach growled and one of the men kicked me… hard. I couldn't scream due to the tape but I tried my hardest. After a while I stopped moving. There was talking outside so I tried to listen in. "coranga lorgdo sona. Es concarde le motoraba" One man said in a deep voice. I couldn't understand any of it. I heard some type of doors opening and the bag started moving again. I was lifted up after a while and put on something medal. The bag was lifted off of me and a brown haired man was standing in front of me. A black haired man was in back of him getting something. "Hello." He said. "You are my test subject you could say. Let me help you with that." He pointed to my mouth and ripped off the tape. "Ow. What the hell do you want with me?! And Where's my brother?!"I screamed at him and tried to get off of the table but I forgot about the rope and fell. "Are you ok?" He said as he helped me up and back on the table. "Your brother is fine we are taking care of everything. You, you smell better than your brother." He said as he walked in front of me. "Thanks?"I said in a sarcastic tone. "You're welcome. Jonathan bring this one in to the chamber." He said. My stomach growled again. "And get her some food." He walked away faster than a normal person. The so called Jonathan walked towards me again faster than any human being. He said "If you promise not to run I will un-tie you." I didn't know where to go any way so I nodded and like he said, he untied me. I jumped off the table and put my hand out. He smelled it than took it in his. It was ice cold, but I didn't mind. I shook his hand and said "My name is Liz." "I know." He said as we started walking.
