The Sorrow Gates

Chapter 2- Crossing bounds

"Luna get out here and get your dad a beer", My father presumed on to tell me about his work.

"I was digging for the new mines down in New-Berry today, and I found some key. I put it in your room cause I know you like weird things."  He said. He was in a good mood today, that means a day of rest and no hitting. Well unless he got massively drunk. I wanted him to love me the way that a father would. I strive off of it. I eat off the eagerness for someone to give out for me. When your the only one who has yourself, you look to others for your hunger. I always looked toward my father. Staying with him was my priority, but my heart told me too run away everyday. The only place that I could go though was the land beyond, The Sorrow Gates. It was always told in our stage of life that death was the monster and if you even feel a bit deprived about it inside of you, The Sorrow Gates was always your answer. You felt better there, it was your home, it was not a monster. My dreams constantly tell me theres a life beyond this town, and I know that one day I will loose all of my cool and follow what it will tell me to do, go to the gates of sorrow. ------------------

The next day---------------------------------------------------------

          I got out of bed and stared at the key on my dresser. Picking it up I swept off the dust and read the carving, "Sara, this key is for the gate. Open the gate and give the key to someone to bury. I will see you soon my child." I stared at it long enough to think about what it meant. It was the Sorrow gates. This key was so old though, and the town deprived in 2002. There was no gate to the land at that time so it made no sense. I threw the key in my bag and drove off to school.                                    I got there and everyone was sitting there with my name on posters yelling and screaming. Halli runs up to me to explain what's going on. "Luna, you will not believe this. All these people are here because of you. They want you too fight Jaeha." The name clicked instantly when she said it. I was scared, more than that I was terrified. Jaeha was the girl bully, she picked on those who aren't stronger than her so she can make you look bad in front of everybody. She was unbeatable. I wasn't gonna do it. But I was soon pulled like a rabbit being eatin by a lion. Jaeha gets up in my face with her manly girl mucles and throws my hood down. "Awww, look at you. Pathetic. Scars all over you. But how many will I give too you? Can you stand up to me. Or will you go cry to nothing." She knows everything about everybody. She was the official stalker of the school and didn't give a crap about who you were. I stood there taking punches and falling to the ground. Wounded by my own self, the fact that I was friendless made everyone angry. Because I was good looking but they wanted me to be someone that I was no longer. I ran. Just like I plotted. I ran because I was tired of being hurt and decided the only place no one ever would go to see me is The Sorrow Gates. But first I headed home to change my mind. ------------------------------Chapter 2-----
