"How did you find me?"
"No time to explain let's go!"
Day picks me up and carries me. Do i look that fragile that i have not even noticed? Well i don't care i'm here with day again. My day. I bury my head into his chest and hope for the best. I'm almost falling asleep when i hear a weird voice.
"Going somewhere?" I hear someone say rather in a creepy way. Day takes a step back.
"What do you want!?" Day is unaware who he is. I try to tap him but i'm weak. I really have gotten really weak then. If i can't do such a simple task like tap him i wonder how bad i look.
"I want my darling." I felt day's heart beat quicken. I know he isn't scared but rather he's angry.
"Oh yeah fight me." He says with anger.
"Even if it means you're life little boy?" It is rather scary the way he says it.
"Fine i will i'm not scared of you one bit" day says with no fear behind it.
Before day can react there's something behind him. I want to yell at him to turn around but when i open my mouth no sound comes out. I feel day grip me tightly and then before i know it i'm knocked unconscious.

I wake up later not sure when. All i know is that i'm tied up just tied up but my back is against some chairs. I turn to see day unconscious and someone else is also unconscious. I don't know who the other guy is. I guess i didn't really notice him since most of the time i had my head in day's chest and i couldn't really see a lot. I see the other guy is awake so i decide to ask him questions.
"So what's your name?" I say awkwardly
"My name is Nathan but just call me nat it's shorter that way and that's how my parents used to call me before... they got taken away and i never saw them again." He says with sorrow filling in his voice but laughs at the end with a small chuckle. I can sense he feels hurt. He doesn't look much older than me or day so he must have had to take the trial before things changed.
"Hey nat, if you don't mind me asking what happened to your parents?" I say carefully.
"Well my parents were in a car crash. I don't know how or when. They were called in by the old elector to discuss something and on the way they supposedly got in a car crash. I don't believe that. I think it was planned because my dad was always a safe driver and so was my mom. They couldn't have gotten in an accident either."
I start to think. This is the same way my parents died too. In a car crash that was most likely planned as too they were safe drivers.
"What did your parents do as a job nat?" I ask as i get more curious.
"Well my parents worked to develop medicines. They worked on developing the vaccines." He must have known about the plagues or his parents must have found out in order for them to have been killed.
"One more question. If you're here you must have atteneded drake right?"
"Well i didn't really get to attend drake until later. When the war was going on they needed anyone they could get. They got little boys and girls from as young as eleven and sent them out to fight. Many of us didn't make it but very few did. The few that could were lucky. Our class was the smallest graduating class with only fifty of us graduating. But as others started coming back the number of kids who were twelve and going on older was increased that was good too. I don't know what i'd do if i was the only one in one class." He chuckles
"hey nat. You're alright." I hear day say from behind me.
I hold his hand and he holds mine.
"We're all in this together the three of us." I say even if i bairly knew nat he seems like a pretty honest good guy. And to be personally chosen by the elector as one of his best men was amazing. Yes i will admit i have seen him a few times before but didn't pay attention to his name.
