REBEL

Chapter Twelve: Kael

I was in a box that was moving. I could see nothing, and my chest was killing me. I could remember what happened, but why? Why was I shot?

A light opened, and I saw a visiting area. There was the woman that shot me, and a group of people. They were all whispering and laughing. I looked at myself, and I was in a straitjacket.

Then, all of a sudden, I plunged into darkness.

I woke with the sound of screaming. I was in the room where I was shot, and there was a woman. She was on the ground, and the woman yanked out two black poles from her legs. She was in the same situation as me.

I knew I was going to die. They grabbed me and dragged me out of the room. There was a hallway that looked like it would never end. They kept on dragging me down it.

When they finally got me to the end, the door opened and it led out to a balcony at least 10 stories high. They brought me up, and pushed me over the edge.

I started to pray, even though it wouldn't work. I started to hope and hope-
