Escaping DEMA

Tyler's POV

         I see him again today, watching from over the cliff side. No one else notices him, no one looks up anymore... His dark eyes meet my brown ones with a look so intense, like hes begging me to understand. Understand what? That i'm not so sure about. He is dressed in unusual garb, A hooded jumpsuit covers most of his body with a strange color in the shape of an x on the front of it. That strange color is also on his face in the form of bandanna that covers everything but his eyes. I've never seen that color before, its happy.... I think.

       I cannot look for long or the Nine will notice. They have cameras everywhere. They stay in their mansion on the hill and watch. The cameras are even in our houses. They say that its for protection so that we don't go back to our old ways of greed, lust, and war. I say they just want complete and total control.

                                                                            ~Josh POV~

The first time he looked up I almost couldn't believe it, but he did, he saw me. I've been keeping an eye on the trench people for years now, looking for the person, the person who will help start the revolution. I found him! I finally found the person who will save the trench people, who will save my sister from the paws of that vile man Blurry.

"Bread, just a loaf of bread you can do it josh, your family needs it,  Ashley needs it." Over and over I repeat this in my 16 year old head as I walk in the market approaching  the stand with the freshly cooked pastries. "Just walk with the crowed, you can do it just grab a loaf and keep walking, just stick with the crowed and the cameras cant see." I thought I had made it but I was so focused on the watchers and what there stupid cameras could see I wasn't  paying close enough attention to the guards. "hey! get back here! Thief! we have a Thief!" I can here them calling in the distance as a make a run for it, but how can you run when they can see where you are at any given moment?  I was captured, arrested, And put on trial to stand in front of Blurry the leader to confess my sins.

                    "Boy, what do you have to say for yourself? Stealing from the market?" he drawls out in an almost amused tone of voice. I bet if you could see past the mesh on his face there would be a smirk sitting on his face. "My family is starving I had no other choice!" "Oh now now we supply you with monthly portions." "You barely give enough for three, I have a family of five!" This angered him greatly as he sat up straighter on his Throne, he stroked the smooth metallic surface that his arms rested on. "We divide The portions evenly between the people, family's can rid the weaker if they feel there isn't enough to go around." he says this in such an easy going tone of voice like he didn't just suggest murder as a solution. "Never mind that though you wont have to worry about such anymore." He looks up into the crowd of witnesses. "I hereby announce that Joshua William Dun is guilty of braking the commandments and is sentenced to the Impound for life.

My little brother, they cant take him, I wont let them. I throw on some clothes and rush out of the piece of shit shelter we call a house into the streets, headed to the mansion the rulers reside in, all the way up the stairs where a guard clothes lines me before I can rush past, tears streaming down my face I scream "Please, please just let me see him! Let me talk to him one last time, please!" in a deep voice he replies" hes already in transport." Just like that my baby brother was ripped away from me." As I collapse to the stone ground a mess of tears and anguish the guard gets a call on his ear piece, all the sudden i'm being dragged into the throne room. Still on my knees blinded by my tears I feel large hands grab my shoulders pulling me to my feet.  "Now, now there is no need for that, dry those those eyes and maybe we can come to some...agreement"

            I look up into the Blurred face of our ruthless leader. "Anything, I will do anything."
