They're coming.
My little eight year old feet pounded towards my room that my little sister and I share. Kela was already in there packing a sack, she pointed her small slim finger towards my sleeping mat were a sack of my own was already half way full. I nodded a thanks and began grabbing my belongings. Extra clothes were already bundled in the bottom along with, water canister, and a blanket. I stumbled over to my small box of belongings as the earth earth shook with the ear splintering sound of a explosion, Kela whimpered knowing well enough to hold back her scream. I put aside my struggle to get to my box and instead dropped to the splintering wooden floor looking for a small indent.
Found it.
I tugged on it, swinging open a small hatch, revealing a compartment in the ground holding two small blasters and an assortment of knives. I grabbed one blaster, sliding it into my sack side pocket, and ran the other one over to Kela.
"Here. Don't worry everything is going to be okay." I said handing her the blaster and putting a comforting hand on her back.
This wasn't fair. Kela was only six years old and she had already experienced many situations just like this. All because of me.
Eight years ago-around the time I was born- the awful man himself, Governor Gray found that some children were being born with special abilities. They could move objects with their minds, read minds, a select few could get into people's head to make them think differently, and so many other amazing abilities. But Governor Gray considered these children as a danger and a threat.
A threat to what, you may ask. Well he claimed it was a threat to our "stable" Galaxy. That may have fooled a majority of the population but even at eight years old I know he feels that his strong dictatorship over the Galaxy could be jeopardized if people found out something that the Governing body has kept secret...
I happen to be one of those children with "special" abilities. I hate it, I bring this terrible burden to my family. For instance right now we are running from the government.
They must have heard word that I was hiding out here and sent troops in to terrorize the village in order to find me. We were able to stay here undetected for three years. We made a life here and now we have to leave it with only a sack of our belongings each.
My father and mother run into the room right as Kela and I tie up our now full sacks and sling them onto our backs.
"Girls go with your mother and start up the ship." My father says placing a kiss on each of our foreheads.
"But daddy what about you?" Kela lets out a small sob, wrapping her small arms around my fathers torso.
"Don't worry sweetie I'll be right behind you." My father says giving Kela another kiss before retreating the opposite direction of us.
"Let's go girls." My mother chokes out, holding back tears.
I grab Kela's hand and begin to run behind my mother to the ship. One we were outside we could see the damage that had been caused.
Houses were in flames, people were running and screaming in the streets while Governor Grays troops, dressed head to toe in dark navy uniforms, we're putting more houses up in flames and openly shooting at the citizens.
"Girls keep going to the ship. I'll be right behind you." My mother said giving us both a kiss and running quickly before either of us could argue.
I looked back to see mother run down into the flames of houses and people before I lost sight of her in the smoke.
"Come on. We have to get ready for them in the ship." I tightened my hold on Kela's hand as we began running toward the ship kept under the brush of trees at the edge of the village.
We reached a steep rocky slope and I had to let go of Kela's hand as we both began to climb.
We were reaching the top when another explosion shook the village. The rocks we were on began to crumble and move. I hoisted myself up on a stable rock and reached my hand down to Kela who wasn't far behind me. She stretched her small hand as far up as she could brushing my finger tips. I tried to reach farther to grad her hand all the way but the rock she was balanced on shifted and shot her backwards down the slope.
It all happened in slow motion, she was falling back a look of pure terror in her eyes as she rolled right to the feet of a person dressed from head to toe in navy.
I jumped to my feet and tried to run down the slope to get to Kela but something wrapped around my ankle making me stumble to the ground.
My head collided with a hard blow to a nearby rock, coursing pain shot through my body and my vision was hazy. I tried to lift my head but immediately stopped as bile rose in my throat.
Everything hurt and I could feel something dripping from my forehead, the steamy hot metallic smell of blood filled my nostrils.
In desperation to find my sister I rolled to my side and managed to peer over the side of the slope. She was being dragged away at gun point by three officers.
Pure terror rushed through my body giving me the boost of adrenalin I needed to painfully haul myself to me feet and start stumbling toward the center square, where they were headed with Kela.
I would turn myself in. My family would be safe then. They wouldn't have to live in fear everyday, they could be a normal family again.
I had the upper ground so I had a perfect view of the center square from here. And a perfect view of Governor Gray stepping off of a Capitol labeled space craft.
My blood boiled and for a second I considered pulling out my blaster, I had a clean shot straight to him. I could finish him off right now.
No. I need my family to be safe.
I stumbled forward, head pounding and lungs burning from the smoke.
I could see them with Kela from here, I scanned to where they were heading and my heart froze.
They had my parents too.
I was ready to run forward and throw myself in front of them, and yell out that I was the one they came for.
I took a step forward only to be taken down by a body rolling on top of me and a hand covering my mouth.
I tried screaming but the hand over my mouth caused it to come out muffled and inefficient to get the attention of anyone.
I began to kick out at the person holding me on the ground. I managed to hit something as the person let out a groan of pain.
"Will ya stop it! We're trying to save you!" A boys voice yelled out obviously frustrated. By the sound of it he was a kid, he couldn't have been much older than me.
I stopped fighting but their grip on me never slacked.
"Jesus, you kick hard." Another voice hissed, but I noticed something different when the too boys talked. It was like echoing in my head.
Realization must have crossed my face as one of the boys said, "Yeah you just figured it out huh. We're communicating through our heads. We're one of you."
Three. There was only three of us left and here we were right now. Right by the people that are trying to capture us.
"Are you both daft?!" I yelled through my head.
"Gosh this is what we get for trying to save you. Kicked in the face and yelled at." One of the boys joked, his words coming through my head.
" How the heck can you joke at a time like this?! My family is being taken right now! Now let me go!" I yelled out frustration evident through my head.
"You were going to turn yourself in for your family. Now that was very brave but really stupid. We are the last ones of us left. They'll take your family to the Capitol and do some questioning. They'll be looked after and fed the best they have ever been in a while. As long as they don't have you your family will live. I promise." The boy's voice in my head softened. He even let go of me and took my hand.
"Now come on we need go get you to safety." He whispered in my ear, his lips brushing my skin.
I could feel the throbbing in my head return, growing quickly. My vision was going and I could feel my knees barely holding me up.
The last thing I remember is being in someone's arms, moving away from the smoke. Away from my family.
One thought was going through my head as black began to take over my senses.
My family will be safe. As long as I stay hidden.*****************************
