It's true, I was born here. I was never even given a name. But what I was given was a protector. She was an agent of an organisation known as 'Pyro', an enemy of the organisation in charge of this place, Beholder. That's why she was here.
Her name was Honey, and she was a mother to Cay and I. Every night after work we would sneak up to the top deck, to an unused hanger where she'd be waiting for us, her long, silky, black hair in two sleek braids that framed her face.
And she would tell us incedible things about our little world. Like how it was on something called 'the moon', a glowy white ball that was above a blue and green place called 'Earth'. And how I must run there.
The night before she left she gave us each a little necklace. Plain silver squares like some of the big people wore. Then she told us that they were 'smart', and would protect us. Then with tears in her eyes, she kissed us goodnight and was gone in the morning.
Her time had come; time to truly pay for her crimes.
We still have the necklaces, and I think it's time to run.
For good.
