Ain't no rest for the wicked

Chapter One-Betrayal

I wake up. I get dressed. I go to "work" and come back "home" repeat. That's it. My job? Oh, no one wants to know, and if they do, I tell them. They usually regret asking but whatever satisfies human curiosity. Or what's left of it at least. Most humans are not so curious nowadays.
Since well... the day. It was summer 20XC. Me and my friends Jason and Emily were sitting outside, just talking.

"So what did your mom call you in for the other day, Cynthia?" Jason asked curiously. Jason flicked his short dark brown hair as if to tease me. Yes i did, in fact, have a crush on him.

"The usual and don't call her my mom" I responded

"You need to stop back talking the teacher " Emily's sweet voice chimed in

"Well the teacher should stop putting her nose in my business "

As soon as I finished my sentence, my dad whizzed in on his motorcycle . I shot up and ran to him. He had been gone for weeks if I had known that would be the last time I would get to hold him close. I would never have let go. Many people have been going missing in my sector lately I heard the rumors going around but I thought they were just rumors my dad led me and my friends inside. My step mom was inside making dinner when she looked up and saw my dad.
"Danny!" She pretended to be happy.
I knew she was with my dad for the money. My real mom wasn't she truly loved him but she died three years ago from the AZ333 virus and a few days after her death they discovered a cure let's just say I didn't let my feeling go unnoticed. My mom's death took a real toll on me and my dad, although my dad didn't show it as much. My step mom Maria hugged my dad loosely. She didn't care about him.I I could tell. However She's a pretty good actress to keep my dad around I will give her that. The day went by quickly and my dad said Emily and Jason could stay over. He called their parents and explained that they were staying the night of course, They were ok with it, we do this all the time. We stayed up till we all eventually pass out and I wake up with a shake from Jason. Emily was already awake and she looked scared. I Looked out the window, which I was instructed to do by Jason, frantically pointing out the window all I saw was a lot of light, and a ship. It was a military use only, and that made me really nervous. What I thought at the time was happening at the time was there was a virus and they were coming to collect us and take us somewhere safe. Oh, how wrong we were, my friends and I all sprinted wildly to my dad and Maria's room. I flung open the door as quietly and quickly as I could. I walked to their bed and shook my dad's blankets. He wasn't here. I looked at my friends and they were just as confused as I was. We hid in the closet. Obviously. Three teens were never going to be found sitting in a closet. There were heavy footsteps and that's all I remember. After that we were feared by all the aforementioned people who were missing. The sad part about it all is that we didn't struggle. We didn't fight. We knew it would be useless. All the others talked about plans to escape, but we didn't. We just did as instructed. when you did something wrong you were sent to isolation for weeks at a time. So we tried our best to not get sent there. While we were there I thought of why Maria and my dad got married. I realized a long time ago it was for his riches. We lived in sector A. there were three sectors A, B, and C. they all hd nicknames,sector A,heaven B,purgatory and of course C, hell We lived in A and they met because my dad had business to attend to, so he had to go. In sector B it was boring because they had nothing. They were not rich or poor, and sector C... well you can guess what happened there. People steal and no one buys anything unless they're from another sector, A or B, and that rarely happens. Maria was from sector B and I hated her the second I saw her make-up-caked face. My dad married her out of love she however didn't, once she knew who she was talking to.
I was woken by my trance by Emily telling me it was time to eat.

"Come on Cynthia we gotta eat" After all this she still stayed sweet and adorable. I managed to stand up and I walked with her in a silence until she broke it
