"That way!" An intimidating voice yelled from ten short yards away.
She shivered, whipping her head side to side, panicking.
Shadows flickered;
To her horror, the dawn of what would happen to her, only was seen in her nightmares. She wouldn't dare willingly think as to what they do to people like her.
Alium, a young girl struggling with her obnoxious need for difference. Her world is surrounded with rules and a constant praise for her not so "beloved" leader. Difference was not tolerated here, they were killed or tortured for questioning. Alium means difference, after all.

"You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside. "I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me. "I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around. "You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me. I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically. ...
