Check Mate

by sarcasm from the eyes

Hi, my name is Maximum Ride; but you can call me max. I guess you could say I don't live a normal life of a sixteen year old, in fact I find it hard to use the word the normal in anything that concerns me. You see I live in a house with five other kids; we have all had tortured pasts that link us together. We have one goal that we all want to reach, Revenge.

2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2 – Dream State

I'm running. Running as fast as I can in this never ending cluster of trees; there branches catching hold of me and scratching the skin that they can get at. I don't know if I'm running to something or running away from something, all I know is that I'm afraid, this clench of my heart is familiar. I push my legs to move faster, harder; my lungs ache and breathing is hard, but this doesn't matter right now.

looking back I see them men dressed in black suits they look beautiful; but something in the back of my mind is telling me to stay away to get as far away as possible from them. They man who is closest to me is pulling something out of his jacket, it's black and shiny; a gun…..Shit.

A branch from the right of my head has been hit, showering me with pine needles. I know that I can't keep running for much longer, I need to find something I know I do, I just can't remember what. In the distance I see it a clearance. Hope is easing my heart; I know that I'm going to make it; I'm going to live for another day. I hear a bang then pain in my back…I've been shot.

I sit up straight in bed eyes wide, I'm okay everything's fine. I sit there for a few more minutes catching my breath while staring at the pale blue walls that surround me.

Getting up I gather clothes to change into and go into the shower. The hot water running down my face helping me to think straight. I'm guessing your thinking why am I getting so overworked by a dream- well people who are wondering it's because my dreams are closer to reality for me than yours, while you have dreams of unicorns I have dreams about being shot.

I guess you could say that in this story I'll be telling you about what's going on in our lives and I'll let you into my thoughts and ideas…Like a voice in my head almost.

So here we are in this big house with five sleeping kids and one awake, hungry max. Time to wake up the beasts from there slumber, this should be fun. Please note sarcasm.
