Feel Alive

Outside

Hundreds of teens ran through the dark halls of the bunker. Damien and i led them through halls.

We were heading to the governor's volt. As we ran we discovered scouts following and they were armed. I heard screams from behind, they were the screams of minors getting attacked by scouts. I wanted to look back so as i did i was amazed to see all of the minors attacking back.

At that moment i realized how much of an influence me and Damien had on these people. We kept moving, and we reached the Governor's office. But the door was locked. "Shit!" Damien screamed out in frustration but he could do this.

So i did something would have never done without Damien at my side, i turned around to face the army of minors. "Minors! You aren't minors! You are heroes, warriors and we are going to win this war!" I chanted out to the crowd. And at that moment we all began pounding beating tearing apart that thick door.

Our body's were sweating bleeding and weary but our souls were still fighting until the door came crashing down. Damien looked at me with wide eyes "how did you-" i cut him off and quickly without a thought grabbed him and and pulled him close and as our lips hooked together his arms wrapped around my body and the minors ran through the doorway avoiding us until we were the last ones. Battle cries filled the air and we followed behind.

We saw a door and it was a simple glass door. One of the 13 year old girl tried to touch it but was instantly baked to a crisp by the millions of volts that ran through her body the moment she touched the glass. She fell to the ground.

I heard screams of terror coming from the teens. But then i saw Damien step forward to the door, "Damien don't !" I said worried but then he touched the door...

Nothing happened. He was still alive. He turned around and faced the crowd the same way i did.

"This is the door that leads outside, if you choose to continue this dangerous adventure then walk outside, but if you choose to bale then stay inside, you must choose now!" He spoke loudly and proudly.

I saw four boys walk through the door. Then two girls walked out the door, ten boys and five girls went outside then Damien looked at me and extended his hand, i walked through the crowd and took his hand.

He looked at the rest of the people that were still standing there "you came this far!" He yelled. The crowd flinched "you're this far and you are giving up!" His voice got louder "if you're heart tells you to go then just go!" Suddenly over 30 teens walked through the door and Damien crossed his arms and looked at everyone who remained. "Is this you're. Final decision?" Not a word was spoken and Damien sighed and we walked outside.

A rush of cold air filled our lungs. And the smell of pine needles filled the air. And we smiled at each other.
