"à la vie, à la mort" - Amèlie Lacroix When I was a girl I had I fear of spiders. I was told they felt no emotion, that their hearts never beat. But I know the truth. Mission 76, 6/11/2084 Target is an Omnix, some petty leader brainwashing the people of this city to believe such lies. I will give him the death he deserves. London is beautiful at night, especially from where I stand on the rooftops. I wrap my wire around my leg, attach the hook to a metal pole and jump. Only to suspend myself half way down the fall and pull out my rifle. I carefully aim at the Omnix target, hold my breath, and fire. From that moment the entire world around me turns into slow motion as my silver bullet slices through the air in the direction of the target, it is this moment that I enjoy the most. Knowing that I have made the shot perfectly, and that each shot I take is one step closer to freedom.

"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?
