Chances

Prologue

I stood in the alley watching for two girls in my team. We didn't get family close, just close enough to trust each other with our lives. Some large guy appeared in the alley. I ducked to hide behind a dumpster. "I thought I saw one come this way." The guy yelled. "Hang on."

I watched as he walked past the dumpster to the back door where trash bags were piled up. He reached down before dragging one of my team members out of hiding. He dragged her away to a different dark alley. I heard her shriek. I hit the in trouble key on my phone.

Another guy found the second girl. The other two that were inside were dragged behind them. I stayed hidden for the sake of my life. I can't do anything when there is more than one guy. I covered my skin by the dark hoodie. I wanted to cry. I have no family and no one to take care of me now.

They will either be killed or if the Academy gets here, they will be relocated. There were no more screams or crying out when I finally got over what happened. I wasn't over it though. I made the wrong move and got noticed. I was knocked out and didn't wake up until I was in the back of a car.

My head was pounding. I blacked out again and woke up to blinding lights. I groaned before the lights were dimmed. There were hushed voices and whispering. I slowly opened my eyes to look around. I was in a small hospital room. "She'll be fine physically. Emotionally, I'm not sure." A guy said. The door shut.

I finally got up and looked at myself. My left leg was in a cast from my toes up to past mid thigh. It hurt. My left wrist was in a brace too.
