IMMUNE: THE BROKEN.
PART 1: THE DOME

Reboot, Reboot, Reboot.
My eyes slowly opened. I could hear faint voices.
"We're under attack!" It came from Erik.
"Get Bailey!" Christa yelled.
Once again, I was picked up and ran down a flight of stairs. I could see cracks litter the ceiling, Courage was collapsing. The man handed me off into my fathers arms.
"Hold tight, Bailey" He smiled.
I latched onto his arm so hard, I heard him wince at the pain. I blacked out. When I finally awoke, I was laying across Erik's lap. He was sitting against the wall of the train, his head tossed back and his eyes closed. I leaned up and ruffled my hair. We've been on this train more than we've been in one place.
The train zoomed past the fragments of Hope.
"Christa?" I nudged her. She grabbed me and pulled me into a tight hug.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"There's an underground faction that Wisdom doesn't know about" She said as the train came to a screeching halt. The doors slid open. Christa helped me out and I watched everyone pile outside. The only one I recognized was Erik.
"Where-"
"C'mon Bailey, I'll explain later" Erik said. He took my hand.
A large door arose from the ground, an elevator platform waited for us. When we got to the floor, another set of doors greeted us. They opened, reveling a huge underground base, full of people. I instantly knew what this place was. The Broken Faction, the place that never existed. Tons of people walked around, some kids, some doctors, some scientists and some warriors. It was a mix of all the factions.
A man grabbed my hand.
"You must be the dead girl" He laughed. I pulled away from him.

His hair was shaved on both sides and slightly poofy at the top, tattoos scattered his arms and his skin was light brown and smooth.
"Samuel, but call me Sam"
"Okay" I replied.
"You, Erik and Christa will share a room"
He led us down a long hallway, our room was the last one on the right. Three beds and too much space for anyone.
"How's being dead" Erik asked as he sat down on his bed.
I blew off his question. "My parents?"
"They didn't make it out of Courage...I'm sorry, Bailey"
I slid down the wall, running my fingers through my hair.
"How'd I come back?" I asked.
"Mary brought you back with some sort of serum"
"Did she make it?"
Erik shook his head.
"Okay...What now" I asked, taking in a deep breath.

"We gather up people and leave the City for good"
I can't believe what Erik was suggesting, leaving all we know behind.
"We don't know what's out there!" I snapped at him.
"Anything is better than here, Bailey!" He frowned and folded his arms.
"You're planning an escape?" A woman stood at the door, her dark red hair braided over her shoulder.
"I guess" I shrugged.
"Count me in" She smiled.
"Me too" Sam appeared behind her.
"So how do we get out?" Christa asked.
"We take the train through the tunnel that leads under the fence" The redhead girl said. "I'm Octavia by the way"
"We'll gather people and leave tomorrow night" Erik smiled at his plan, but I knew we'd regret this.

The next night, we sneaked out of the Broken Faction and waited for Octavia to show up with the train. 20 of us, that's how many wanted to leave.
"Honk, Honk" Octavia waved her hand out the window as she passed us.
"I'm not stopping!" She laughed.
I took off, springing for the open door. I ignored the burn in my legs and pushed faster and faster. I jumped in, hitting my shin on the ledge.
I bit my lip, concealing the pain.
We wen't into the tunnel, my stomach turned. Light struck my eyes, we were outside the fence, but something was off. Everyone rushed to the windows and looked out in shock. The City was surrounded by a large dome. The dome simulated everything from the outside world, rain, sunshine, moonlight.
Outside of the dome, the grass was dark brown and tall weeds grew beside the tracks.

There was about 10 or 20 Wisdom helicopters leaving the dome. A large bang rang in my ears. The dome started falling; The top first, then the sides. Shards of glass destroyed anything in it's path. The only thing that stood was the fence, it was about 30 feet from the actual dome. I couldn't believe it, the dome simulated green grass for miles and miles passed the fence, everything was a lie.
Screams and moans came from the crowded train. I sat, staring out the window, furious.
We buzzed by rubble of fallen buildings and piles of bones.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Christa laughed sarcastically.
"We were inside a dome the whole time!"
I rested my hand on her shoulder.
There was nothing outside of our City, just open fields and sorrow.
