The Trials (The First Book in the Life Button Series)

-15-

"I wanna leave Jake. I wanna leave so bad!" I cry.

His hand gently rubs my back. "It's okay. I understand why....but why would you wanna stay?"

"Because of all the other Brunettes who have to suffer because of my...OF the President." I rub my eyes.

He sighs, putting an arm around me. "I'll follow you forever. I believe you can make the right choice. Right choice to do...anything." He sighs again, "But I also think that you should get away from here."

"Why?"

"I don't like you being around this place. I hate here. You hate it here. I can see it in your face."

"I...I do. But I also feel the need to not let anyone else go through that...the torture of the Trials. I hated it so much. I almost lost you.....I mean I wouldn't want to lose the only sane person right?" I try to play it off coolly.

"Hehe, you sure that is what you meant?"

"Off topic! I need to...help them somehow."

"Leave."

"Why?"

He leans close to my ear, sending shivers up my spine. "I have a plan. We got to leave though."

"O-O-Okay. I guess that should work. Wait a minute!"

I reach into my pocket, pulling out the little note that the President tossed to me. It unfolded it, and it was folded many times.

I could almost die at what I see.

Dearest Daughter Acid,

My little Princess I hope you forgive me. I never wished to be a Government. But I was killed in action which is why you are receiving this note. I became a Government to keep you safe. They threatened...to take you from me....from us.
I now realize that my effort was in vain. Your 'mother' is now the Killer. I never realized one person could be so transformed once brought to power. She put me in the Trials. And she declared all Brunettes must take the Trials before graduating school. Harsh isn't she?
I wish the best for you and to always know I love you. I will meet you again someday. I wish you the best. If you are Gone due to the Trials, my heart would break. Over and over again. But if you do get this note, it means the worst had occurred to me.
I love you Princess. Stay Strong!
-Your Father (Kingsley)

I cried out, turning to Jake for comfort. I cried into his shoulder. "What was on that note?"

"I-It was f-for his d-d-daughter. I'm his daughter! I pretty much killed my own dad!"

"I am so sorry Acid." Jake patted my back. "We will get through all of this. I promise."
