I was awoken on June 7th(mine & Savy's 16th birthday) by the harsh shove of my father. One look in his eyes and I knew it was the 16. They had came for us just as they came for our other 16 year old friends. I quickly equipped my Katana, my Sias, my bow and poisonous arrows. I knew, it was time FOR WAR.
I ran out of the house my only hopes were for my family if not them then my BFF Savy to come out alive. No matter what happens I knew that there was no way we would all live, it's the curse of the 16.
I was attacked by a 16 but, he was no match for my Sia. I saw my mother being cornered by 4 16's so I killed the tallest one and was about to kill the next one but my mother was quicker than I was. I heard my mother say "Mesa, take Savy and run your father and I will do our best to hold them off."
I knew I shouldn't argue and that I needed to stay strong, so I held back the urge to say "no they want me not you" not for my sake but, for my parents, they never even let me out of our yard.
I found Savy and we headed out into the world beyond our house, the world no one but I, have see before. We were supposed to leave for 5-15 months and all we brought was our weapons and 1 black backpack, in it was 10 cans of food, 2 pairs of socks, 2 jackets and $600.
Today our Journey was just beginning.
