***************************

I remained frozen, determined not to show any signs of the affect they had on me. I've thought of death on more than a few occasions before. I've even planned it to appear as an accident. But now, as the burly guard scowled at me i felt an uneasy feeling stir in my stomach .Maybe it was because it was against my free will that i suddenly wanted to live. Now that death was staring right in the face with greedy eyes , my body indistinctly wanted to fight back. Because that's what we as humans do, we fight for survival. 

RUN.

Without thinking i snatched the charcoal pen laying aside me and flung it with purpose. Burly howled in pain as it embedded itself in his shoulder. The guards alongside him gaped in surprise. It was a short distraction, but it was all i needed. Using my bed as leverage i hauled myself over the guards and made a dash for the cell door. My hand closed around the cool handle, but to my surprise heavy hands clamped onto my shoulders and i was yanked forcefully to the ground, knocking my head against the rail of my bed in the process. My vision blurred and i was seeing two off everything.

"Let me go you pricks!" i screeched at the top of my lungs.

I. Will. Not. Die. Today.

I was no match against four grown men. I never stood a chance. One by one they gripped each flailing limb and dragged me out of my cell. "Please, please, i'm not ready" the tears were flowing now and it was becoming harder to breath. Outside my cell was absolute mayhem. Guards were dragging other kids from their cell blocks and snapping metal bracelets onto their wrists. Not long after that a metal bracelets was snapped onto mine. That was when the realization hit me. Metal bracelets.Kids under the age of 18 being snagged out of their cell block.

This is exactly what dad had warned me about.

They were sending us down to Earth.
