A Light In A Dark World [ON HOLD]

Chapter 3

I'm at my house, putting my dress on. Part of me is disappointed because I'm not going to be wearing it to my ceremony, but still I don't want to arouse any suspicion.

    The dress fits a little tightly on me, in a good way of course. It shows off what curves I have, makes my legs look strong, and compliments my goldish-green eyes. I pair my dress with matching lace shoes that I've had for a while. The shoes make my legs look even better, also making me seem taller and slimmer. My wavy hair I put in a fancy bun with strands of hair hanging down.

   I am about to walk out on the balcony, but I notice that it's 5:00pm. Jane should be calling any sec- Before I can finish my thought, of course, Jane is now calling. I answer

  "Hey Jane, so are you able to come with me then?" I ask crossing my fingers.

  "I'm afraid I can't my dear," she speaks quickly while I hear loud thumping sounds in the background," look, I don't have a lot of time, but once you get to a river, follow it, follow it until you come up to a huge canyon. I'll be sending you a map to get through the canyons. I love you Tamzine, I know your special, you will be the light in our dark world-"

Before she can say anything else she abruptly stop, the door busts down, and I hear a bloodcurdling scream that makes me cringe. The screen once again, go dark.

Without even a though I am out of the door running as fast as I can down the street to the trans light system only to see a huge line of people, probably heading to the ceremony based off their fancy clothes. I try walking by the crown casually, but fail. I have no time, I decide to just run to the gates. Then, I turn and run.

   Panting, finally I reach the gates. They are a gold-silver color. Although the top is bombarded with silver spiral above it, ruining it's beauty. I am fascinated with it's buzzing sound when I see a spark, it's electric! I have no time to question it when a guard is slowly walking towards, patrolling. I freak out and start running, only to find myself hiding behind a huge cargo box. the guard passes me. I have to find a way out.

  About twenty minutes later I find part of the fence in which I can crawl through, due to my small body frame, without touching the fence fully.

  Before I can climb all the way out a guard grabs my ankle with a strong grip, slowly pulling my shoe off, but before he can, feeling a rush of adrenaline kick in, I grab the arm he is pulling me with, and pull him with the same force, into the electric fence. Seeing him fall to the ground shaking violently, I feel no empathy. I must still be in shock from the Jane incident. Then, I start to run, run away from all of my troubles: Jane in danger, being out of society, having huge responsibilities, and the concept of "love." Until I am sobbing uncontrollably as I stumble run. Finally, I start to realize the pain my high heeled shoes are causing me. Why did I wear these?! UGH, I'm such an idiot, I think, ridiculing myself. Soon after I hear yelling and screaming too far behind me to make out what they're saying, but I can only guess that they found the guard's body. I start to attempt running even faster. Although I had a head start I can hear the many footsteps approaching. After a few minutes I decide to turn into the trees and bushes to hide. I run until I find a bunch of boulders clumped together, tiredly I jog over and hide deep under one of the boulders. I feel the cold itchy grass pressed against  my skin as I lay there hidden from site. waiting I hear people walk past me clueless of my presence. I hear someone scream.

"We lost her, everyone return to base. We will continue our search with more people and equipment tomorrow."

When the yelling and stomping stops I crawl out of my hiding spot and exhale the breath I had been holding in for who knows how long.

When I reach the river, It has been a few hours and I'm sure I can't call it walking anymore. falling face first  into the river  I gulp down most of the river and I just lay there in the icy cold water for a while as I slowly become numb.

Then, i start to walk again feeling a little refreshed. I can see the sun bouncing off the canyons turning and orange-red color. i don't walk for long till I reach the canyons and realize.......... I forgot the map. How am I gonna get to where ever I need to be? I guess I'll just keep looking for it.

I have been walking all day and night, through dust storms to a point where I am covered in sand to where it's a second skin. I am now almost crawling, but I keep going. It frustrates me that I have no idea if I'm even close to where I need to be. I'm numb all in my legs now. The pain started leaving long ago. All I can see is canyon spreading and ever, is that possible? I soon question my sanity, I need to find my destination, and soon.

 After hours of searching I have not found anything so I keep walking, until at last, I can't take it anymore. My knees buckle and I'm on the ground shaking uncontrollably, am I dying, or maybe I'm crying? Slowly I am engulfed in darkness.
