These are Jaces entries I'm running into a forest, to my left is Blake, my closest friend. This whole thing is actually his plan. He's somewhat of a control freak but won't argue with me if I want to do something, well, unorthodox. My name is Jace, and this is how we got away.To my right is my long lost "friend" scarlet. We were rivals when we first met in our military training facility. (By the way, if your wondering, all children after a certain age are put into some sort of military school. In middle school, based on your physical or mental attributes, you are inserted into certain classes. I was a much more physically adept kid so I was put into the "squad leader" role, where Blake is one of the best hackers I know) We would train together, trying to hone our skills, for every match I won, she would win the next (she likes to say otherwise but don't listen to her) but after 8th grade she kind of just disappeared. I never thought die see her again, but here she is again.

Remi has always loved the forest, the different sounds, smells, the way she could get lost in it and never have to go home to her non-existent parents. She goes in and out of her life with her best friend everyday just waiting until they're both old enough to leave their small boring town. But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Remi?" Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general. "If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny. "I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?" "Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.
