Time is lost

Chapter one

Hailey!!!Run!! I hear Sarah scream, already charging down the street. I follow, sprinting. The authority bots saw us. Everyone stares as we run down the street with the bots close on our tail. I know what their all thinking. "Good for nothing beta, dangerous beta". The norms don't care about us. They are programmed not to. They are told the way they should live. Society has full control.

"FASTER!!" Sarah yells skidding around the corner. I sped up, running as fast as I possibly could. Two more streets, we need to make it two more streets. Panting, I focus on the sound of my feet hitting the pavement, a sound rarely heard now. At full speed we turn the coner and fly straight into the beta house through the barrier. The safe haven. We can see through the barier the bots confused. Thier lights all flashing orange. Once we pass the barier we can't be found, only another beta can enter.

" I am so grateful for this thing" I tell Damon, tech nerd and beta who created the barrier.

"Gotta find some way of keeping us alive" he says.

Sarah and I flop exhausted onto the couch. We should be used to it, but it still seems to tire is out. I pick up the small disc on the arm of the couch and turn it on. Setting it in front of us I tune it for the news. A lady now stands there, well not really just her hologram, but it begins explaining today's news.

Sure enough there is the footage of us running down the street. The headline reads BETA ON LOOSE! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! By now we are used to it, we have been wanted for years. But we are smarter, faster and stronger then they are. And we want to live. Bad.
