(AN - so this is a book I wrought for school the one I had made for a project and my teacher entered into a contest. It's was slightly shorter than this one but had the same characters and plot idea, if this book receives any positive feedback I may post the other one up as a little thank you. But I hope you enjoy)


Before I knew it everything went black, quiet I tried to scream but nothing was coming out.

"please someone anyone helps help me!" but nothing still this dead blackened darkness to quite to be real but I couldn't be sleeping could I? no, I'm not sleeping right? I woke up in a puddle of my own sweat

"ugh," I say as I rub my temple god dammit did I fall asleep aging? I look around the large room, the walls metal was shining as the early morning sun shown on the different silvers and coppers of the wall casting a rainbow of metallic colors on the ground. I rubbed my head remembering my dream just moments before. What was that? Why did it feel so real? It was almost as if it actually happened. My eyes made their way over to the calendar that was hung up on the wall beside my pod the date read October 31 5900145. I sighed, "happy birthday to me, Alone for another year" I looked up to unhook the latch keeping the pod together. There must have been an earthquake again last night.

I reached over carefully unhooking the metal peace, the cool metal my felt like heaven against my warm hands its smooth surfaces like clouds but although it felt safe to touch I gently rubbed my hand against the corner it's sharp like a knife. As I run my finger across it the metal cuts deep into my flesh a crimson like trail of blood softly glides down my finger. I lift my hand up to my lips the horrid taste of iron fills my mouth I wince but I don't stop telling my finger goes numb, the I let my hand down and I open the pod.

My feet hit the cold hard metal ground I feel like I'm in a sell with nowhere to go and no way to get out. Which is essentially what this place is keeping boys and girls apart tell the forced to marry one and other every year a handful of my friends leave me to go outside. At least they let you in the courtyard or to see our family just as long as your not with any boys besides the ones from your family. I stand up slowly and look around

"where is everyone," I say allowed, it's probably for the best no ones here it'll be more private during the day. I slowly stretch out my arms and legs grabbing one of the brand new towels that lay beside my bed. I guess they did the laundry last night. O well, I just hope they didn't take it. I looked under my desk carefully moving something over and I see it a small box wrapped carefully in red and black paper. Good, it's safe. I stand up again almost forgetting my wings, they brush up against my check having a mind of there own. Once they calm down I make my way towards the showers after that dream I need a hot shower. I Turn towards the one on the end of the room and pull the door separating it from all the other ones shut making sure it locks, as I get undressed to go into the shower I hear a weird sound. It's like the heavy breathing of two people.

"that's odd'', I thought everyone was gone. I quickly realize what it is trying to shake the image out of my head. A couple juniors sneaking out to see each other again. That's just a tad bit disturbing. I say under my breath I don't want to disturb them. The water was warm against my skin the small streams of water painting an image of the ocean over my chest the water moving with the beat of my heart every small wave was in passe with my breathing the intricate lines of the painting looked like waves at some points as ruff as a storm but the quiet like the river. Along minute passed and I almost forgot what I was doing, and I quickly snap back to reality.

I could still hear the tow others who were in the room with me and then I picked up on their heart beats they were speeding up. "good god! That's disgusting!" I quickly go to get dressed and tried to shake the sounds out of my head. It didn't work in fact made the whole thing even worse. I turn the water off and grab my white towel beside me, I quickly wrap it around me making sure nothings peeking out of it and I head out of the shower hall and into the dressing rooms next door. I open the door numbered 666 and think to myself I never noticed the number on it was odd. In the past, people believed the symbol meant something bad but nowadays people just see it as an omen of bad luck and that's about it.

I glance over at the stull that's in the room with me there's already a clean uniform on it, but I don't put it on instead I turn my attention to the mirror and I press the middle of the flower that's at the top of it and it flashes before opening up. There's a set of jeans and a high cut noose backed crop top and matching shoes. I let my towel fall and I grab them they fit perfectly everyone in the dorm has clothes that they can wear when it's their days off. I grab the pants and check the waist band there a small metal clip on it with padding on the back of it not many people noticed it but what this piece of metal dose is its tracks you so the president knows where everyone is at all times. I take it off the jeans and rub my thump over the soft covering it was oddly warm some kind of heat was coming from the front of it I take my indects finger and thumb and press down on the device and watched it fall to pieces as it fell onto the floor a wisp of smoke coming from it.

I do the same thing to the other ones on the shirt and shoes, I cant have the robots tracking me again like last time I tried this they almost moved the ceremony sooner but thank god my dad got them no to. I sighed and put the outfit on, its fit almost to a tea but my wings were being frustrating again they moved as I tried to get my shirt on it took some time but I managed and once they were through the back of the shirt they were comfortable. I check in the mirror to make sure there was no more tracker's they sometimes hide them in towels so they get caught in your hair but there was nothing. I go to leave the changing room but I hear giggling outside.

"haha, I guess they decided to go to their pods" I un latched the door and walk out into the room. There were a couple people in the room each one in a school uniform every student had a tracker on them. I walk back over to my sleeping corridors and move to grab my backpack a couple students glance curiously at me I do my best to avoid any of there glances but I can tell their eyes are still glaring at me. I'm used to it I get these looks a lot mainly cause I'm one of the only gifted ones. Meaning I have wings, in the school, there was only three of us ever to exist naturally those people consist of myself my friend Seraphina and the president.
