I just woke up. I'm already 8 years old. Everybody thinks I'll be mature enough. No way, I actually don't want to grow. I don't want to be a teen, a woman, a mother or not even a gran. I take off my blanket then I hurriedly go out of my room. My room is a simple one just like any others. It has a bed that has a white bedsheet on it then a window. See? Is there a much more simpler than this?
As I was saying,I get out and just like a little kiddo expecting a gift from her parents. Nobody can be seen on our house. Then I saw a little boz on the top of our dining table. I opened it. I can't consider it as a gift because it's a knife. What am I supposed to do with a knife? Then I found a message card beside it.
"No matter how hard
No matter how high
Promise me you'll never let go"
-Mom
I don't understand and I don't even know the connection between this two. Where's Mom and Dad? Agatha?Where are them? What's happening? I opened our door to know if they're just hiding from me. All I can see is the houses of our neighbors. I put on my slippers and step outside.
"Hello?" I asked.
I heard my own echo. Everything ia so quiet. Everything is missing. All the people are gone.
"Hands up!" a voice coming behind me. I raise my hands even though I don't know what's that for.
"Turn around!" I saw a man with a gun pointing at me. What can an eight years old possibly do to hurt him. He grab a device on his pocket and pointed in on me. After a few seconds, he looked at me then bring down the device.
"Get your bag!Pack your things!" i still don't understand what's happening but I hurriedly go inside and grab my bag. That bag was from my mother. For my age it was a huge one but because she is practical,she wants me to have it for a long time. We aren't rich but atleast we eat three times a day. I brought everything even the knife.
"Where are we going" I asked him. He never pay attention to my question. He looks around.
"Let's go" he said. I just follow his footsteps but he stopped when we're near the exit to our city—Nepelec City. It was kind of a peaceful city without any historical wars except the warn that was sent last month. This warning said that our city will be ruled by Frederick. The cavalier of Capetian City. Cavalier is the president or king in a city. Their city is the strongest of them all.Our cavalier is Reyna Victoria. I bet she's missing.
"Remember this never let them inject or make you drink something except you know what's it! Okay?" he said while he's putting something to his eye. I think he's old because he got so many wrinkles on his face. Probably 56 years old or above.
"Who? I don't understand?" I asked
"Hey" someone shouted.
