The Academy

Chapter 3

Once I reached the huge heavy door I pushed them open as hard as I could. They were made to keep things out and us in. It takes 3 people to open the door that's how heavy it is. For some reason I felt like someone was helping me open them. But no one was there.

Finally I managed to get the door open just enough for me to slide out. Slowly I closed them so a loud creak wouldn't escape. Waking everyone up. Once I closed them I ran away from the dorms.

I felt free adrenaline rush through me. I know it sounds lame to sneak out but for me this was a big thing. I have never went against school rules. I always waited for 7:30. But the only one I knew who didn't was Dawson. He would sneak out and tell me what is beyond the school.

When he would sneak out earlier he would come to see me. He would climb up the balcony and knock lightly so people wouldn't hear. But being trained to be alert I would wake up in an instant to see him smiling. Holding something behind his back a flower or a bunch sometimes. Placed it on my desk then laid down next to me.

Those days were when I had night terrors. Sometimes he would just show up to make sure I was okay. When he laid next to me I felt safe and would fall back asleep until he would wake me up again. Then we headed to the meadow and spent the rest of the day there.

So many memories ran through my mind at once. It felt like my brain was getting split in two.

"Ugh!!! I can't take it anymore!!!" I yelled to space.

I ran as far as I could before I fell. I took one last look around me so I know where I am. What? I made it to the meadow. Just need to climb the tree to be safe. But I only made it to the trunk and laid there waiting for the pain to stop.

"Ugh!! Aaahhh!! I can't take it!!" Tears ran down me cheek.
