Secret City

Prologue

No. NO, this is not happening. This is not true. This can't be real. I'm dreaming.

"NOOOOOOO!"

The same dream. For 2 months this has been my dream, every single day. The images continue to haunt me. They never leave. Wherever I go, they just flash in front of me and whenever they do, they seem real and feel real. Why? What have I done wrong? My hand moved to feel the other side of the bed but it only felt the dent, realizing that my sister had just risen.

I smell the eggs. Diffusion is such a terrible thing. I began to feel my hunger. I haven't eaten for days. I always give my food to Venice. She eats a lot and I don't want her to feel hungry. I stood up, went to the cell next to mine and yelled "Khaly (Kay-li)! Let's go down and eat some food." Khaly and I went down to the cafeteria. They have lined up already when we arrived. As usual, we are the last ones to be given food. I went to Venice's table when she shouted, "Paris, please hurry".

“Why? What’s wrong?” I asked my sister. She seems worried. I hate it when she worries about things. Venice is only 11 years old but she thinks more maturely than me, an eighteen year old teenager.

“The other convicts are planning to escape, later tonight.” she answered.

“This is the chance we’ve been waiting for. Let’s join them. Khaly, you should come with us.” I said.

“And where will we go? The government is guarding our house night and day.” Venice said with a tone of anguish.

“You might be more matured but I am still your big sister.” I said, and the grin that I always have whenever I have a brilliant plan started to form.

Chapter 1 Preview:

I heard him whisper something else but I didn't bother to ask what it is since I have less then two hours before our escape. "So, the entrance of our underground mansion is at the tree in our backyard"

"There are a lot of trees there. Which one?" Venice asked.

"There's a riddle. 'From the mouth of the back I just walk like a ruler, The tree with the upside down heart won't give me a bummer. If you approach the right true there will be a buzzer. But before I go down I must dig the well, because there I will see a fortune that fell.' Venice, I know Mom did this, and this is your thing."
