chp 7- Where the sky never ends.

As I walked along the rocky ground my bare feet bleed. As I looked, I saw the blood moving through each line on my foot. I use to hate blood. The look of it, the feel of it, but now I'm not. Why be afraid of something that helps you to live. I use to be a girl who cared about everything that didn't matter. I'd beg my father for new shoes because all the other kids at school had them...

School.

I hated school.

The funny part is that I miss school now. The simple times, I miss. Mrs. Gergans' pop quizzes and crazy projects. They are what I miss. I'll never have the life that I had before because my eyes are now open. They are open to this world like how Adam and Eve's ate the forbidden fruit and they're eyes were open to the evil of the world. Just like them so am I. I'll never be the same girl as I use to be. The girl who always looking for approval, to be loved, to be kept.

As I walked I came to an abandoned house. something was leading me towards it. *Stomp * Stomp My feet went as I went over to it. I knocked on the door.

Silence.

"Hello! Does anyone live here? " I said with a high voice.

I heard nothing.

As I stood there the door of the clanky old abandoned house opened. I was a little scared but now I was curious. So my feet started to move forward. One at a time. When I finally entered the house everything was dark not considering the light from the sun peering in. I shifted my head to the right and I saw a dark shadow run towards the kitchen.

"Who's there? Come out." I said sharply.

"I have something for you." The person said still unseen.

"What do you have for me?" I said apprehensively.

"A message from your Father." He said

"What is it? Tell me? Please?" I pretty much begged.

" He said that you're moving really slowly. If you don't find him by sunrise than he will die and the government evil will rise and take over." The shadow said.

"I'm trying" I yelled almost sadly, "Where is he? Do you know?" I said

"You know! You've been there many times. Its where the sky never ends and the times..."

I cut him off, "...Where the times go big." I said.

"I know where he is at." I smiled.

My feet picked up speed as I ran out of the old abandoned house. I ran in the opposite direction of which I was previously heading. I ran and I ran and I had no doubt of where I was going. I was going back home. Years ago, I was coming home from school.

"Dad, Can we go to the beach?" I said.

"Honey, You know I want to but maybe next week." He said.

"You always say MAYBE NEXT WEEK!" I said as I mocked him.

" I'm sorry I have a lot to do in the lab." He said.

" You always have a lot to do in the lab." I whispered.

"You know, how about this? We bring the beach to us. We could call our house victory island. Every island needs a slogan. How about Where the sky never ends?" He said

"I like it but it needs something else... How about Where the sky never ends...and the time goes big." I said waving my hands in the air.

"That doesn't make any sense." My dad said.

"I like it and we're keeping it." I said standing firm.

My dad is back at home. I don't understand, but this is the only choice I have. This is the only thing that makes sense. *BEEP *BEEP *BEEP. My head looked down and there it was a red flashing light inside of my arm. I stopped knowing that I should keep on going. *BOOM in a distance I saw the old abandon house blow to pieces. It makes sense. When I went to my mother's house they were there. When I went to the abandoned house they blew it up. All given to me by a suppose direction within me from what I think...thought was my father.

I am their spy.

I am their tracker.

I ran even faster than before thinking I could escape from this body. I ran past my mother's house past the fields, buildings, people until it was dark. I ran and ran until I could see my beginnings where it all ended for me. I slowly walked into my house. I stood at in the place where I died. Everything was the same. The strawberries on the counter from that moment. my school bag sitting in the car. I walked through my house as the tears in my house came down.

I walked into my dad's office. I shuffled the materials on his desk as I started looking through his desk to see if there was anything that could give me some answers. My breath was heavy, my hands were clammy, and I was scared knowing that any minute the government could walk through those doors. I opened the last drawer of my the desk and I looked underneath a piece of wood that was not attached to the desk. There I found a small box that said "for Violent when I die." I opened the box and I saw the letter that was sitting on the top. I help the thin piece of paper in my hand.

"Hello, Violent. if you are reading this than I was successful you get to live a life. I wanted to say that I'm sorry. Your mother was right. I should have never taken this job. I lost you and your mother and now you have lost me. I wanted to give you another chance to live without the government to hold you back. I wanted to say that I'm so sorry because I have been lying to you. I told you that you had to find me, but I'm long gone. I've gone somewhere beautiful, heaven. If I told you that I was gone for good then you have lost hope. You can't lose hope, my child. You don't need me or anyone else because you are strong enough yourself to defeat the government. I may be gone but I'm always here. The world needs you and you need them. I love you."

The truth.

It stings like a million strikes of lightning to your heart. The tears flowed like never before but I knew that I had to keep moving forward. I went into the kitchen and I pulled out a large knife then I sliced my arm open and out the chip. Lifting my arm in the air I smashed the chip with all of my anger. I grabbed my backpack sitting in the chair and left the house where it all started along with the thin note in my left hand.
