A dark place

The beginning of the end

I jump out the back window while my uncle was out front working on his car I bend over and pick up my bag and grab my secret phone from the compartment under the house and dial my friends number "yo josh are the plans still on for today" i hear talking on the other end of the phone in the background "ya we will be in the meeting spot in about 10 minutes" I hang up the phone and I put on my mask as I start making my way down the back ally I glace over my shoulder as I hear footsteps behind me slowly approaching then i hear them getting closer and faster i pull out my gun from the waistband on my pants and turn around really fast yelling who's there as i see my best friend Tori with her hands up smiling "holy crap Lilly be careful who you point that at dude your gonna get yourself sent to the pit" i look away and agree with her the pit is a hole 10 feet deep with water at the bottom they will throw you down there and you drown if you get tired of swimming see the world is dealing with over population you do anything illegal your dead i look at the clock on my phone and we start running as we realize we are 2 min late to the meetup which josh will not be happy with he hates waiting even if its 2 min we arrive there 5 minutes late and we jump in the back of the van and yeah we got yelled at by josh as we head to our location "any leads on the dark eyes" everybody shakes there head the dark eyes are an organization that was built to find and kill black bloods god knows why cause I'm a black blood and I'm the same as all my friends i blend in but the only thing different about me is my silver hair yes i was born with silver hair and you cant dye it either dye washes right out it will not stick you also cant cut is unless you have special equipment which is illegal to own and or make all silver hair dye was band so the dark eyes wont kill any red bloods on accident so since i have silver hair i have to always wear my hoodie and a mask to hide my identity even tho I'm not aloud to leave the house i have to sneak out every time and it sucks i met my friends over a year ago i saved all of them from the pit and they have stuck by me ever since my life you could say is a living hell the van slams on breaks and my head shoots up my friend josh's eyes shoot open "Lilly hide or run now its the dark eyes they found our base" my eyes widen as i rip josh out the driver seat and the dark eyes see me and start shooting as i slam the van into reverse and haul ass out of there and back into the dead zone we lost them about 15 min back so i drive into my uncles garage and usher everyone to get out "uncle Steve!' i yell and i see him run into the garage and went straight for a big hug "where the hell have you been" he said "and whose car is this" i look down "its my car sir" my uncle pulls a gun out from his pants and i snatch it out his hand and usher him to calm down "this is josh and my friends" he looks at me and he starts yelling about how i cant have friends that everyone is a danger to me but i just walk past him and show my friends to my room "are y'all hungry" they all said yes and i gave them food we ate than went to sleep god this day was crazier than any other day to e honest I'm worried that was our first run in with the dark eyes and I'm scared they are somehow tracking us i look at all my friends and tell them how they cant leave the dead zone anymore unless they are hooded and covered by a mask that it was too dangerous for them to leave they where all shocked cause there family lived in the the city of broken bones don't ask why its named that but it has a good reason they are all going to b on the most wanted lit we where all screwed i tart crying but cover my face as ,y tears are black my friend mark looks at me "its OK to cry you can show us your beautiful no matter what the color your blood or your hair or your tears are" i look at him smiling i look at the clock and it read 6:58 damn almost 7 i helped them set up there beds but mark asked to sleep in bed with me for quote on quote "back problems" we lay down and everyone went to sleep i thought i was the only one awake so i got up walked into the bathroom pulled up my sleeve and took the bandage off my arm and took the razor i have hidden in my bag in the closet and put it to my wrist and sliced my arm open and black blood poured into the sink mark walks into the bathroom "oh I'm sorry i didn't OMG Lilly what happened to your arm" i looked at him as my black tears ran down my face "why cant i be normal" he runs to me and hugs me i look at my arm and the cut was already healing "look I'm a freak" i show him my arm he look at me and kisses me "your not a freak your perfect"
