Run

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I quickly brush my hair, then put on my favorite floral dress that fits me perfectly, then put on my only combat boots.

Finally, I run to my parents old room, which is now my brothers room. I grab the blue case from under the bed.

I grab it and run back to the bathroom.

As I open it I feel excited, I've never seen so many colors. it was my mothers makeup kit she got through generations. that my great great grandparents had before all this mess.

I gently apply the foundation that covers my zits and pimples.

When I'm finally done, I don't recognize myself. not to brag but I looked flawless.

"Skye, it's time." Jacob says, as he buttons his shirt that once was my fathers.

"Ok." I reply as I turn around.

"Woah! When did you get so hot!" he said looking me up and down.

"Thanks, you look good too! But Jake, what if they don't pick me, we will never see each other again!" I said as I got closer to him.

"Skye," he said as he took my face in his hands, "your a wonderful girl! they will pick you, and when they do we will meet up back here and start our new life, together."

I decided to take his word but I was still afraid. What if I choose the wrong category, or what if they didn't pick me because I had something in my teeth.

I quickly rub my teeth with my finger as we walk down our dirt road to the towns podium. My brother swats at my hand, then turns his eyes ahead with his chin up.

I giggle, maybe too loudly because people start to stare.

We reach the podium after a long walk then take our places.

The microphone booms.

"Welcome, people of Timber!" a voice shouts through the mic.

Everyone cheers.

But as people cheered my heart sank.

I looked over at the guards by the podium, one was starring directly at me.

I soon realized this person was the guy who killed my mother and father.
