I slowly open my eyes to the sound of humming machinery and realize that the soldier on the helicopter made good on his promise and that I'm lying in an operating table in what I can only guess is a hospital. In a split second two thoughts flash through my mind. The first is trying to determine if I'm safe and the second is a burning desire to exact my revenge on Roman for betraying me. A doctor walks into the room and seeing that I'm awake, says "Good, you're awake. I'm happy to tell you that you have made a full recovery from your wounds and that you're free to leave in about an hour after we finish up your paperwork. Be sure to get plenty of sleep and make sure you eat a full meal seeing as you're dangerously thin due to starvation." I nod and reply "But I'm a criminal, why would you just let me leave?" He checks his clipboard and says "According to my form you've been pardoned off all crimes under the condition that once you're able to, you are to enroll in Beacon Academy." I shake my head in confusion as he walks out of the room and I lie back onto the pillow and begin to process everything I was just told.

This is Chapter Two of the Neo series I'm working on. My plan is for each chapter to be short but include a piece of information that is vital to the storyline.
