RE WRITING!!
As she tried to describe it, she realised no words were storing enough. Her dreams are filled with familiar shapes and ever-changing silhouettes. In time, they become majestic and a thing of beauty, and she can start anew on the ground...
ADELLA ESPINOSA STARED AT THE SAME ROOF that she had done for a while now. The same old dull colours staring back at her.
Occasionally, her father would visit her when he wasn't busy and so would Raven Reyes. That's the only thing she enjoyed, seeing familiar faces that would cheer her up.
She sighed as she pulled her hat down, covering her eyes. She started to tap her stomach, counting up to five every time she placed a finger.
As she tried to doze off, the door opened, making her sit up, placing her hat back on her head.
She frowned as two guards walked in, one of them holding a box. Was she already eighteen? No, she had been counting down the days. She wasn't eighteen for another month.
Before she could speak, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, making her hiss in pain. "Ow." Adella held her arm with a frown. "Was there any need?" She asked with the sarcastic tone as she looked down at her wrist to see a wristband. "These are new." She hummed to herself.
The guards grabbed Adella's hands and walked her out her cell. She looked up to see all the other kids being taken out of their cells. She frowned. Were they killing everyone? "Hey, don't I get to say goodbye?" She turned to guards who didn't reply but only pushed her forward. "Hey, coño! Answer me." Adella tried to get out of their grip, pulling on her arm. But, no reply, only a hard shove. "Hey I'm speaking to y-"
"Hey its okay." Adella looked up to see her father which made her sigh, her body relaxing at the familiar face. "I'll take it from here." Pietro told the guards and they let go of her. Adella looked at all of the kids lining up before pulling her dad into a hug.
"Dad, what's going on? Are we all going to get floated?" Adella asked him, rambling with wide eyes. She tried to hide how afraid she was as she pulled out of the hug. But Pietro saw right through his daughter's hidden facade.
Pietro shook his head at her. "No, niña, you're being sent to the ground." He told her which made her eyes widen. Adella had only read about earth in books, now she was actually going to see the real thing. She couldn't believe it.
"Wait, the ground, where the trees are and all the animals?" Adella chuckled, not believing her father at first. She watched as he slowly nodded his head. "Santa mierda, you're serious." Now the earth skills made sense. She didn't mind the lessons, they were actually useful. But she hated pike, for a lot of reasons.
