Take Me Away

Prologue

The shadows absorbed me, as I looked down on the collapsing city. It was once a magnificent sight but now all that is left of it was the broken remains of the terror that had taken place.

I was perched up on one of the few remaining buildings that were still standing. There were very little windows, which had meant that light was rare. I couldn't stand the darkness. I felt vulnerable and bare in the dark. Like I'm trapped. Which was why I had chosen to rest up on the roof instead. I think it used to be a shop. But that doesn't matter anymore, the food is all gone

I wrapped my arms around my wailing stomach. Food. I needed it so badly.

I've been trying so hard to not let the thought of food seep into my mind. At least then I could tame my hunger a little. It's the longest I had ever gone without food. Though I am no stranger to hunger. There had been times when business would be tough for papa. Especially since the coward had taken over.

Nobody would dare to step out onto the streets. We all feared him, the man who would be watching over us. Terrorizing us. Starving us. Killing us. But more than him, we feared the people living among us. The rebels. The people who were supposed to be on our side. But instead, they became one of our enemies. Cold hearted murderers.

I bit my lip trying to stop myself from crying as a piercing pain prickled up my arm. I really needed to do something about that wound. I tore a bit of my dress off and gently wrapped it around my lone arm. The soft fabric hugged my arm tight. At least my arm won't be infected. There was nothing I could do about the pain.

My eyes rested up on the setting sun, filling the whole sky with its warm hands. The sky was the colour of a tulip, gradually melting away into darkness. A smile came on my lips as I watched the sun set. The beauty of the earth would always surprise me.

My mind drifted back to how life was back before the war broke out. It was much better. I let out a deep breath.

The way I entered this planet wasn't a way to boast about. I mean I was born a killer. I killed the person I was supposed to love the most. The person that had loved me dearly. But being the failure of a person I am, the first thing I did on this planet was murder.

The sun had almost set and the sky was now completely dark. There were no stars that night.
