Default Title - Write Your Own

Chapter One

I had never known. How it looked. How it felt. The sun, the air, the sky. It was all a dream. Not even a memory, just a dream. An empty, hopeless dream. I was born here and I will die here. This I know to be true. These cold walls and hollow halls brought me nothing but despair, but this was my home. A home that sent chills down my spine. However, this broken home and aching dream was not my own. I know that my family felt this way too. Their faces were not known to my eyes, but their voices echoed in my heart and mind. Every day I would hear their sweet sounds. Maxton is funny. He cracks jokes to lighten the feeling of dread in the air. Deesaray sang. Her voice was sweet and calming, especially to the younger children. It calmed even me sometimes. Lastly, there was Jax. Jax was much older then all of us, and you could hear it in his voice. Jax was the storyteller, our hope keeper, even though that was slowly dwindling from our hearts.

A loud whining sound echoed through the speakers piercing my ears I fell to the floor holding them as close to my head as I possibly could. The sound interrupted my thoughts to the point that all I could think was why why was this happening. Then I remembered, my very first memory was not of my mother, and her gentle touch and calming voice. It was the memory of a doctor. Doctor Greenaway I remember what she had told me that I was 'saving the world' right before she stuck the needle in me. Unlike other people in the world, everyone here in this facility is special. It isn't like the movies you see on TV, we don't have superpowers. However, our blood is different, much different than other people's. Even a drop of our blood if mixed with anyone else's can heal and cure any disability or disease they have. Our blood has more polypeptide chains then normal people this means our blood contains more proteins so we heal and fight off infections better and faster. This is the first thing we learn about ourselves. Then we learn that we will die at an early age. Our blood is taken from us to the point where we can not even open our eyes. We just drift off. They say it is much like falling asleep. However, we will never wake up. It is what they called the most humane death possible.

As the sound got louder I cringed and held my head. suddenly a voice came through the loudspeakers. "Now that I have your attention please forgive me for the pain i may have caused you." I knew that voice it was Dr.Greenaway. She was the head doctor in our facility. She was in charge of making sure our extraction went smoothly and, that our blood remind pure and uncontaminated. She was the face we have come to fuel our hatred towards. She knew this.

"I have regretted to inform you all that I am retiring." There was something about her voice that seemed like she as in some kind of pain. When she took a deep breath I knew, I knew that she was crying. "I hope you all can forgive me for what I've done." She let out a long pause. "I hope my son can forgive me" those words echoed they were both full of regret and love it gave me chills. then suddenly a bang then another and then finally as the last bang echoed through the empty and cold halls then a buzz and like magic the door that had been closed for over 17 years suddenly opened

My eyes widened my mouth went slack and I couldn't believe my eyes It wasn't a white wall anymore there was color and light and...Jax There he was Jax I knew it was him i could feel it He had dark brown hair with bangs that swept just above his emerald green eyes he was tall so tall or maybe i was short either way he towered over me he was surprisingly built with a broad chest and strong arms i knew this because they were wrapped around me. His stubble grazed my face it tickled but also somewhat felt like it was poking me. I felt his breath on my ear as he spoke his voice was surprisingly soft for how deep it was and what he said made my heart skip a beat

"Wynter"

My name has never been said so beautifully so perfectly and even though i've heard him say it a million times this time was different but the moment was one that would be short lived as the cell doors behind us began to close I looked over and saw two more figures I Jax pushed me behind him but the faces that came to light were friendly ones. One was the face of a young boy no older then 15 and the other of an even younger girl

The boy stood as Jax did in a protective manner over the girl, he had rich thick black hair and dark brown eyes he was pale with small freckles around his eyes and nose the small girl behind him had large doe eyes that were a piercing blue she was also rather pale but it was fitting she looked like a porcelain doll as if the smallest of touches would shatter her into a million pieces she looked unbelievably fragile and then it had come to me "Desaray? Desaray is that you" The girls already wide eyes seemed to widen even more at the mention of her own name then she flashed a smile at me and squeezed the boy's arm to let him know it was okay

"This is a nice meeting and all but if we don't go now then all of this will be for nothing"

Jax was right if we didn't get out of here right now we will just be put back in our cells and be drained until we are dead, it was time to go.

We ran, at first it was painful. I had never run for such a long time before. However, the pain subsided and and it was all just a blur. I had always imagined it. How the halls would look. I had dreams about it often. The dark damp hall filled with the musk off all the evil that was here. However, this was not how it was at all. The walls were white and clean very clean and the whole area smelt of limon. It was if they were trying to purge themselves of all the bad they had done to us by keeping the walls and floors as white as they could as if the shining purl like image would hide all the blood that was spilt here it rocked my very core the only thing that brought me out of it was the sound of Jax's voice

"This is getting us nowhere we have no idea where we are going"

"We can't just stop!" Maxton said

"Wondering around makes it easier for us to get caught" Jax's hissed

Jax was right he was so right we can't wander around like lost puppies bt we couldn't stop either it had been so long and the outside was so close we couldn't stop not now
