JULIETTE'S POV:
Twelve years ago:
I wake up, stretch my unused muscles and stand up, I walk to the cell bars and see my older brother and sister doing this or that.
"Morning Jules." Leo smiled, waving his hand at me.
"Morning." My small seven year old voice spoke.
I'm the youngest of us three, Leo is the oldest and Annie is the middle child. Leo is five years older than me and Annie is three years older than me. They're both my world, if they weren't here I'd have no one - well except for my parents who come down here maybe three times a month.
"Annie?" I ask her.
She spins around and looks at me. "Yes, Juliette. Are you alright?"
"What's it like outside?" I sigh, "Leo won't tell me. He says it'd be unfair of him to tell me knowing I'll never be able to go out there."
Annie looked sorrowful and sighed. She and Leo have lived normal lives with mum and dad, I haven't. The day I was born was the day my parents decided that this world would be better if they locked us away. Annie must have at least one memory from before that, she was three, I know normally that would mean that she wouldn't remember anything, but she has conversations with Leo, when they think I'm asleep - they talk about going to the park and dancing in the rain. I know she remembered.
"Please Annie, I dream about knowing."
She nods and sits, like me, close to her cell bars, that's the closest we can get to each other.
"It's cold outside, there's a wind that leaves you chilly-" I know what she's trying to do, she's downplaying what it's like so I won't get upset.
"No," I cut her off. "Don't try and make it seem bad so I won't get sad, just tell me the truth."
"It's marvelous," she started. "Everything's so full of joy and excitement, there are parks that stretch with greenery for miles." She smiles at the memories. "There are so many creatures like butterflies, ladybirds, ants, birds, bees and foxes. There are so many colours, all bright and vibrant."
I smiled, I'm glad both of them got to experience that. It sounds like, before I came, they had a nice life. That's the part that makes me upset, not that I will not ever experience what they describe.
I ruined their lives and they still love me and care for me so much each and every day .
