Chapter-1
The lamp on the kitchen table flickered as I shoved more supplies into my pack. I can't believe it was just yesterday that I received a strange letter. There wasn't even an address or anything on the envelope. Just my name, Roxanne Sanders. The letter talked about how there were people with strange glowing marks on their arms and how they are being hunted down and killed and that I am to leave my home and meet with a group of rebels who want to protect them. I glance down at my shoulder and looked at the small swirling mark on my arm. I never knew what it was or why I had it. All I was told was that I must keep it hidden at all times because its dangerous to have it. The floor upstairs creaked and I quickly covered my arm back up as Alex came down stairs. Alex was Cindy's son. Four years ago they found me barely alive because a squad of militia came and killed my family and beat me because of the mark on my arm. They dumped me on the side of the road and left me to die. I push back the tears of that day and continue packing as Alex entered the kitchen.
"Where do you think your going?" He questioned as he picked up my flashlight.
"I'm going to spend the night at Sarah's house." I lie. I can't stand lying to Alex after all that he and Cindy have done for me but I have to. If anyone finds out where I'm going I might as well say hey I'm different come and kill me! Alex nods and puts my flashlight back on the table before going back upstairs. I put the last of my stuff into my pack and sling it over my shoulder as I walk towards the back door trying not to wake up Cindy too. I opened the door and took my first step outside. My first step to a new life.
