I woke up to the alarm ringing through the corridor. I slipped slowly out of the stiff, cotton sheets. I grabbed my stiff, grey shirt, with my stiff, black pants, and rushed to get dressed before I had to leave. Right as I finished pulling my shirt on, the door automatically opened, and everyone stepped out at the same time. Everyone had the same grey clothes, the same black hair, the same pale skin, and the same grey eyes. Well, almost everyone. I was different than the others; I had tan skin, with freckles dotting my face, I had bright, green eyes, and my hair was a combination of orange, yellow, and brown.
That didn't really matter to me, I had to do the same thing as everyone else. I wasn't special. Some would disagree, or just say that I'm strange. I tell people stories, and sing while I work, put on extravagant performances, and use bits of charcoal to draw pictures in my free time. When I try to tell others of the different colors I see in my head; they look at me strangely and back away. Maybe I am strange, but I don't really care.
We all walked in lined, moving at the same speed, and in the same direction as we passed the guards. Soon the lines passed into four ways; each way led to a different area of work, to the far right- was the mining duty- only the strongest work there, to the middle right- was the agriculture area- the people that are good with plants go there, to the middle left- the animal care- people who are good with animals go there, and the far left door- the food duty- only the worst behaved people go there, if you disobey orders; that's where you go. It's horrible, you have to collect all of the plants from the agriculture, get the materials to make pots and pans from the mining, then make the pots and pans, and after all of that you have to get animals kill them, and make the food. Everyone is miserable there; no wonder our food is so horrid.
I went through the middle left door go help with the animals; it's the only thing I can do. They tried to make me mine, but I'm not strong, and they tried to put me in agriculture, but I couldn't grow anything, so they dropped me here; in the animal sector. It's really not that bad though, I'm really good with the animals, and I get to go to the surface, even if I am, caged in.
As we went up the stairs a pair of blue eyes met mine. Under them a mischievous smile broke open to show two rows of white teeth. The owner slowed down and walked next to me.
"Hello, sweetheart" He said teasingly.
"Hello, Thomas." I replied as we walked to the surface.
The day was dark, like any other; or maybe that's just the shadow of the glass we're encased in. I walked over to my station, the horses, and started to work. As I fed the horses, I noticed that Thomas hadn't left. He was still here, watching me.
"Don't you have to work with the cows?" I asked him plainly.
"Actually, I need to talk to you." he said, more serious than usual.
"Well, what is it?" It was fine to speak normally, because the guards are outside, and the glass is soundproof.
"I think we can escape."
"What?"
"Don't you want to? I know you hate this place."
He was right, I do hate this place. "Of course, but how? We can't even get out of this cage."
"Yes we can, you've seen people leave."
"Well, yeah, but they're injured."
"Yeah, we can fake it."
The thing is, I knew we could. "I don't know if this is a good idea."
"Come on, you know we can do this." He stared at me sternly.
"Okay." I finally sighed.
"Great!"
He suddenly toppled over and started groaning. Realizing his plans, I copied him, and toppled over as well. I saw he guards open the cage and come to my side. He picked me up, and I saw Thomas get picked up too. When we exited the dome, all of the colors turned brighter and fuller, but I did not have a lot of time to observe, because Thomas jumped out of the guards arms and punched him in the face. I then kicked my guard in the face, causing him to drop me, and swept his legs out from under him. I got up and ran, Thomas running a short distance in front of me.
"Look! Boats! We can escape with those!" Thomas called out.
I nodded in understanding.
Before we could get on the boats, three more guards collided with us. One grabbed my arm and attempted to push me to the ground, but I quickly slipped out of his grip. As I defended myself from the guards, I kept running. I finally reached a boat and quickly grabbed a rope hanging from it. When I started to climb, a guard grabbed the end of my shirt; causing me to fall. When I tried to pull away, the guard stabbed a sharp needle into my arm, and inserted a cold liquid into my veins. As I lost consciousness, I saw Thomas, already asleep and being carried away by guards.
Then the world went black.
