Chapter 3. Turning Back

  "Cameron? Cameron?"

  I turn around, the skirt of my white ball gown twirling as I do. Cole waits by the door in his black tuxedo that all the order members are supposed to wear to these things. Well at least that's what I have noticed.

  "I'm almost ready just give me a minute." Cole steps out closing the door behind him.

  I admire my dress in the mirror once more. It really is pretty. Sweetheart neckline with ribbons to tie behind your neck. The skirt I think is my favorite part though. Its almost like feathery all the way down after the belt.

  I walk to the bathroom and grab the hairspray just to make sure the curls actually last this time. I also adjust the the blonde locks to hide the bobby pins keeping the two pieces of pulled bacl hair in place.

  Once I'm surtain I look up to the Society standards, I meet Cole in the hall. Then we walk, arms linked, to the ball room. There's a lot of people here but most of them are friends and family members since this is to celebrate the new order.

  After being greeted and congratulated, Cole takes me to the floor to dance. When we were little we would all dance together. Taking turns and passing our partners back and forth. He spins me and when I come back I'm dancing with Luka. We must have switched and I didn't realize it. I twirl once more and then I stop. The ball room is dark and empty.

  I walk out of the room. Time sure does fly when your having fun I guess. I'm not quiet ready to sleep though so instead I go for a walk through the maze. I've always loved playing in the maze thought we are told that its dangerous none of us listen. My favorite spot though is the fountain. Its over grown with vines and the marble its made out of is cracked in some places. It still works and is still pretty despite being neglected.

  I sit down taking in the cool night air. I close my eyes and listen to the water running. It relaxes me. And as it does I start to drift. I start to zone out.

  "You can't stay here." I jump off the fountain when I hear a very unfimilular women's voice. When I open my eyes there is a lady standing in front of me. I feel like I've known her at one time or another but I can't remember when.

  "You have to go back," she seems concerned but why?

  I turn and run. She was probably a rebel. There have been stories about them getting into the maze but I thought they were just that, stories.

  Soon I'm back at home. I open the back door and am blinded by the light. I must have been in the dark to long. Walking through, I have to squint and shield my eyes. The light is really bright.

  The door shuts behind me and I walk letting the bright light consume me.

  Sorry this chapter is short. There was going to more but I decided against it. Its not as good but let me know what you think.

  Also I'm leaving for two weeks and I don't know that I'll have internet so updates might not be for a couple weeks but I'll try to finish the next two chapters and update them when I get back.

You know what to do...
