Over the fence

Skye Robertson - Subject 13

23/03/2098

I woke up the next morning with the note still clutched in my hand. Quickly jumping out of bed, I rushed down the hall looking for 14.

I came to a quick stop at his door. Pushing it open, not even bothering to knock I saw that he was packing up his belongings in big brown boxes. His head whipped around to face me.

"13, what are you doing here?"

"I have to talk to you, remember the time my brother came to visit me?"

He nodded his head slowly.

"Well he gave me a note - I read it last night. The Bureau is planing to take us over the fence, we have to leave now!"

"Calm down, what are you talking about?"

I sighed as I handed him the note.

Creases formed on his forehead as he read. He slowly looked up at me; his expression showed nothing but worry.

"We need to leave tonight when they close the compound doors," he said firmly.

"Why not now?"

"Because someone is bound to catch us we - have to leave just before the close the compound doors. After they check that everyone is asleep."

I nodded my head in agreement.

"Go get something to eat - I have to go ask Amos something."

He handed me the note then stalked off.

I made my way to the cafeteria; nervous about how our plan was going to go, all I knew was that I didn't have a good feeling about this.

Jasper sat down next to me with a worried expression painted on his face.

"What do you want Jasper? I'm not on the mood for this."

"Calm down 13, I'm not doing anything," he smirked

I rolled my eyes and stood up, heading toward my room.

I collapsed on my bed and let my thoughts swallow me

The doors to the dark basement opened; the bright sunlight blinding me.

Colton walked in wearing his dark blue and red school uniform, he sat down next to me on my bed.

"Hey, Skye, how was your day?"

"Well I spent the whole day locked in this shabby basement so how do you think it went?" I snapped at him.

He looked shocked at my sudden outburst.

"Sorry, I've just been having a bad day," I apologized he nodded slowly

A few minutes later my mom walked in with a tray of food, "There you are Colton, you scared me for a second." She handed me the tray and sat down on the other side of me.

"Mom, will I ever get out of this basement?"

She turned to look at me with a hurt expression plastered on her face.

"Honey, you know you can't. The officials-"

"Yes, I know, they'll kill me. I'd rather be dead then stuck in living hell hole," I cut her off.

"Don't you dare say that!" She screamed

"Why not? It's the truth, isn't it?" I said my voice cracking.

She looked away, suddenly finding an interest in her shoes.

"Isn't it!" I screamed.

She stormed out of the basement without giving me second glance

I woke up hours later to 14 shaking me like a maniac.

"What the hell are you doing?" I complained groggily.

"We need to leave now before they close the doors."

I groaned as I got up.

"Hurry up and get everything you need I'm going to go get my bag," he said as he left the room

I turned to my closet and started to gather a few clothes.

I turned around and saw an official standing in front of me - pointing a gun at me.

I ran to the door but was pushed down by the official.

I quickly jumped up to my feet and threw a punch at the him, it him square in the face.

He stumbled back a bit - caught off guard. I brought my leg up to kick him but he caught it midway pulling back to the floor. Before I could do anything else he plunged a syringe into my stomach; injecting me with a rose tinted liquid.

I felt my eyes get heavy, l my vision going blurry, until all I saw was darkness.
