    I woke up to the smell of sweet and buttery pancakes. My eyes flipped around,  I was lost,  but then I remembered I spent the night at Hulk's "house."

   "You snore like a cow." Hulk said, cracking up.

   "Yeah, and cows don't order pizza,  so no more pizza for you." I stated.

    "I was joking." Hulk added.

    "Well I wasn't, you just care about the pizza" I said, joking, "Anyways what are you cooking," I asked.

   "Pancakes." Hulk answered.

   "How do you even get pancakes. You guys can't get them." I explained Hulk.

   "I find them, the tourist grocery stores just throw them away." Hulk explained.

    "Oh, what about the phone?" I asked him thoughtfully.

    

    "I stole that from a tourist." Hulk shrugged.

    "What?! You can't steal. You will get sent to the gray house!" I hissed aware of the Monitor.

    "I know, but I need it for work." He explained.

   

      "Alright bye. My dad is back." I said.

  

    "See you later." Hulk and Julissa said.

 

    I arrived at the Palace at lunch time. My father was in his office, like all executives, signing papers, making calls and all the boring executive crap.

    "Father, I want to talk to you in private," eye-signalling the Monitor, I shrugged.

    "Alright, let's go to my bedroom." My father said.

  

    "Father, have you heard of the rebellion?" I whispered, afraid that the Monitor would hear me.

   "Yes, I have, and I am joining, because, even though I'm an executive, I get tired of seeing the people I care about dying helplessly while we live the life of dreams." my father said.

"Father, I want to join. I'm already fourteen and a half, they need all the help they can get, and I am a supernatural so I can be of more use." I explained to my father.

"No, you are not, you are the only son I have, and if there is rebellion, I will have you translated to the First Town, where there is more safety," My father raised his voice.

"Father, they need young, strong people, and I am one of them." I affirmed my father.

"Enough! Get on to your room!" My father shouted at me I could feel my bones tremble beneath my skin.

I dislike when my father does this. I am not a child, and I am joining against my father's will. I have to be free not just myself but everyone like me.
