I stood alone in the field, my heart thumping in my chest as I tried to catch my breath. I looked upwards at the sky; a cloudless blue. The long grass and trees moved from side to side around me as I tried to hold back my tears. I was lost, but at least for a moment I felt safe.
Then, I hear someone yell, and their footsteps loud and violent as they knock everything in their path. Fear ignites in my chest, I know their searching for me. They come to a stop suddenly and I might not be able to see them, but I know I'm surrounded. I hear the whoosh of their weapons, I gulp.
I crouch down covering my head, just as I hear their arrows fly above. I stay like this for a few moments, until I feel a burning sensation in my arm. The pain is immense, I drop to my knees letting out a long loud howl. I close my eyes.
I feel something warm against my arm, and just like that the pain appears to subside. I glance up, my eyes meeting with a small light-haired boy. I glance at him skeptically, he simply grins, "It's okay. You don't need to be afraid of me. We're the same.""You're like me?" I question, with wide eyes.
The other boy nods. My fear subsides, as I take in the boys' grin. I was surprised to find that I wasn't afraid of him, that perhaps I wasn't alone.
He takes my hand, and I feel a great sense of connection as he leads me through the long grass. Weapons continued to soar above.
I knew I was in a lot of trouble for being out here, that's why they'd sent them after me. I ran as I'd heard them arguing with what to do with me with cross expressions on their faces. I was just old enough to realise that some of them wanted to hurt me. These people who were following me now didn't want to just take me back to my parents. They knew I was slightly different to them.
The other boys, movements seem much more confident than my own and it takes me a moment to realise how fast we're running. A swell of amazement rises in my chest, he hadn't been lying about the two of us being the same. We don't seem to stop until we come to rusted iron gate, the blonde kicks it down easily. I look at it sceptically, but the other boy insists, I trust him now, so I follow him.
After making it through trees, we're surrounded by strange sights. A rusted merry go round, a dilapidated ghost train. I realise that we're in an abandoned theme park. The boy leads me through, his eyes searching. We duck into the ghost train and the two of us clamber into one of the carriages. I try to look up; but the other boy quickly pushes my head back down.
I hear heavy footsteps and from my hiding spot I notice their weapons as they walk. I lift my head up again, as I notice the other boys' eyes are trained on something, his face paled. There's scenes of gunfire and the people that had been following us were falling. I let out a small gasp of horror and the other boy covers my mouth pulling us both back down into the safety of the carriage.
I hear the clip clop of footsteps, I crush closer to the other boy my heart thumping loudly in my chest, we were caught. We had to be. A moment later there's a dark-haired woman peeking down at us, the two at us stare at her for a moment."Come on boys we're leaving."
I wasn't sure whether I trusted her. I exchange glances with my new friend, he leaves the cart willingly. I shoot him a fearful look and he turns back and holds his hand out to me. Nervously, I take it and he helps me out of the cart. He holds it all the way out of the park until we come to a black car. I jerk backwards, feeling uncertain once more.
"It's okay." The other boy speaks softly, "These people are our friends. They'll take us home."
I glance at him apprehensively. These weren't the same people who had been arguing what to do with me had they? Maybe they were the ones fighting to let me live?
