Uncontrollable(HUGE REMAKE)

Chapter 1 (intro)

In the society where everything is controlled by technology lies a girl like me who is too fragile to discover whatever is outside my doorstep. I was born and introduced where everything is controlled by advanced and reliable technology, where robots do most of the chores that humans should be doing. It is also the generation where humans can genetically control plants, trees, animals, and even humans. To be exact, it's a generation where humans are too smart to not do shit for themselves and too smart to discover different shit that could only benefit the government, to gain more power or whatsoever. All of this shows all the signs that a futuristic world has been developed: emotions controlling emotions, minds controlling minds, and hearts controlling hearts. With all these facts connecting how powerful humans are, there is one thing that they somehow can never be able to control.

When I was about 7 years of age, I learned that I am strictly not allowed to get out of my house. It was mostly my dad's rules and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of seeing how my brothers, Atticus and Hugo, make the best of their childhood memories while I'm stuck in my room with all these books about the history of humanity with my robodog, Lisa. I once begged my mother to sneak me out and just bring me to the park but she's too obedient and loyal to my father. I keep asking him most of the time, why am I not allowed to get out and have fun but the answer I keep getting is, "Just be patient, Kezia. Everything you'll need to know will come to you soon."

I try to be as understanding as I can be but as time goes by, it's just hard pretending like I do not care at all. The only time I get to be outside of my house is only for 15 minutes in my backyard. My parents homeschooled me and kept making me understand what I need to prevent, who I need to protect myself to, and all that kind of crap to get me ready from the outside world which I do not know when will be that day, the day when I will finally be free, out of this dungeon. I got so lucky to have this room where I can sneak out and lay down on our roof at night and just watch the stars while feeling the night breeze.

I am finally 15 today, April 23rd. I still have 0 friends and 0 social life. I don't even know how I survived my 15 years just listening to Hugo complaining about how Atticus won't protect him with all the school bullies and how Atticus would respond by saying "You should know how to protect yourself, young boy." Why am I being tortured like this?

Cake was in the middle of the table and I was surrounded by my family. I can't help but feel my tears running through my cheeks. I should not be celebrating this. Birthday means I get to spend another year living like a prisoner.

"Are you crying?" Hugo asked, reaching for my hand that was set to my leg. I just simply shook my head and looked him in the eye while forcing a smile.
"Kezia, it's your birthday. You should be glad and thankful because you get to have another year to live in this world," Atticus said.
"Stop being a smartass. You don't know how horrible my life is because you get to enjoy yours while I'm stuck in my own little bubble," I growl back with no hesitation. I can see my parents' reaction: surprised and disgusted. Who cares? It's not like they could do anything. They can't punish me because I've been punished everyday for the past 15 years. "You do not talk to your brother that way missie," my mother said, standing up shocked. She walked towards me and forced me to stand up. "Say sorry to him, right now," she ordered while holding my arm aggressively.

"I want to get out," I finally blurted out. I can feel my throat throbbing. After holding on to every courage that I have built for 15 years, I finally got the chance to explode and to stand up for what I want to do and what I've been dying to say. "I want my fucking freedom," there's no stopping now. "I want to experience what my brothers are experiencing. I want to have a life!" I yelled out on top of my lungs, shoving my mother's hand from my arm. "I want to learn more, discover shit on my own, not just by reading some goddamn books everyday. I'm done, father!" Sobbing, I left the scene and locked myself inside. I don't know what I have done to deserve a life like this. "I don't deserve this," I said out loud looking at Lisa, my robodog, who's as confused as I am.
"You don't deserve this," said someone outside my room. "Open the door, please," it's Atticus. Ever since he was introduced to Hugo and I, he has always been like this, the most understanding and genuine person in this family. He is our oldest brother and was adopted when he was 15, which was 3 years ago. My parents told me that his family died in a brutal car accident and he was the only one who lived. It's been a heartbreaking tragedy but my father showed empathy and adopted him for he could see so much potential in him. He has been the leader of our town's youth and has been awarded with multiple awards because of his leadership and intelligence. A very smart person and a wise one. He accepted us like his own siblings and we accepted him like our own blood. I admire him a lot and am lucky to be his little sister. It was my emotions getting into me, that's why I gave him such an attitude and I'm regretting it. I finally opened the door for him and he walked in. He embraced my anger away and I hugged him back and I just started crying. "You deserve so much more, Kezia. You do," he said while caressing my back. "I'm sorry you get to experience a life like this. But enough is enough," he said, removing me from him and holding my shoulders while looking straight into my eyes. His eyes are as red as mine. It's just amazing how eyes can never lie and how eyes can show real emotions. You can tell that he's hurting too, he's hurting for me. "I talked to Sebastian and promised him that I will protect you from the outside world. I will walk you through and help you with all the things you need to know," he continued, crying this time. "I'm sorry you get to live your life like this Kezia. I promise you, no more of this," I started crying and I hugged him, tighter this time. "It's the toughest situation, but now I can finally experience the life I've been wanting to experience. Thank you, brother," I said while sobbing. My parents then joined us in my room, caressing my back while my mother hugged us both. His hug got tighter and it was just emotions exploding inside my room.

It's 9 pm which means it's time for our bedtime. I went downstairs to fill up my tumblr and I overheard my father and Atticus talking by our balcony and I couldn't help myself but to eavesdrop. I went by the window to hear what they're talking about. I looked out the window and saw that they're not the only ones talking, there's also a formally dressed man standing in front of Atticus. He's dark, has beautiful gray eyes and seems like he's in his mid-30s.

"You can't let her out yet, it's too risky!" The man demanded, trying to prove his point. So this is the guy who's brainwashing my family to prevent me from experiencing the world. What a bastard.

"What do you want me to do? Make her life like a living hell just because she's restricted with so many things? Sebastian has been preparing her for 15 years, Joseph. It's time. I can't look at her again without feeling any guilt because I'm preventing her with literally everything," said Atticus.

"He's right. It's time," my dad agreed.

"Don't you two ever tell me that I did not warn you at all," he said, shaking his head. "Do I have to remind you two that she is not normal?" He added while smirking. This man has been offending me big time. If I hear one more thing from him about me being abnormal, I will put him to his place. He's standing in my house and doesn't even know how to respect me.

"I will protect her," Atticus said, raising his voice at him.

"Do I have to remind you that she's..." before he even finished his sentence, I interrupted and jumped into the conversation. "I'm what?"

All their eyes were locked on mine. Looking at them one by one, they all look like they have been shocked by an electric cord or whatever.

"Have you been here the whole time, Kezia? You should be asleep, you have a big day tomorrow," my dad said, ignoring my question.

"How am I not normal?" I questioned again, then looked at my brother Atticus, hoping for an answer.

"I'll explain it to you tomorrow, okay?" He said, leading me back to the door. "Go rest," he added.

I trust him, I trust my father. They know what's best for me, and so I went back to the door and closed it after me.

"I'm hoping this won't be a big problem Sebastian. You have been warned," the man added. I'm so confused, what could I possibly do to cause trouble? I really hope I'll have the answer I want tomorrow.
