Chapter 1
Welcome to this story.
The italics will be flashbacks and memories.
This is something I've been planning for a while now and I hope you enjoy it... I would love to hear your feedback.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the near three years I've been locked in the skybox, I have never seen the outside unlike the other prisoners when they are taken for food or doctors' visits. They think I'm too dangerous after what I did. My crime is unforgivable. I will surely be floated.
Not only did I hack into the ark systems to change my age, but I did something worse and that's why I changed my age. My father, no my caregiver is the only person who knows I'm not 18 in a few days. He kept my secret because he doesn't want to lose his daughter, I'm not his daughter he just says I am because he took me in as a baby, I hate him. I think Kane is more hated than Chancellor Jaha.
There is nothing for me to do in this small cell, the only people I have spoken to in their last three years are my father Marcus Kane, Abby Griffin, few guards and of course the chancellor.
All I do is lay in my bed, the most uncomfortable thing I've slept on, even the floor is better, but then again no bed on the ark is that good, what would you expect from a 97 year old machine in the sky. I stare at the roof or out the little window to the stars and Earth when my window faces it. That's about the only entertainment I get in here.
I expect the door to open in a few days as my file says I'm eighteen on Unity Day. My birthday may be Unity Day but I'm telling you I won't be 18.
I still remember everything that happened on the day I was arrested, mostly a face.
FLASHBACK
I did something terrible, something that will never be forgiven, I've had to fix it, I need more time if I am to live longer, an alarm start blaring in the room. High authority room of course they have an alarm... stupid. I am running for my life, making my way through all the stations. They know it was me, they saw my face. Heavy footsteps are quickly approaching behind me. They sound far away, I guess not because I soon feel pain travel along my spine and I fall to the ground. A shriek comes from my mouth at the pain.
Electric baton. I roll over from my stomach to my back and look up to the guard. My vision is fuzzy, and I can't see the guard's details very well. His face is covered in freckles and he has his hair gelled back. Another guard approaches, Shumway most likely.
'Good job Cadet'
OVER
There is a lot of commotion outside my cell, looks like someone is about to get floated. Maybe not, there's many footsteps, too many for one person to be taken.
I hear footsteps stop outside my door. It opens to see five guards approach me. I know they need more than that.
"Prisoner 3-0-9 stand and face the wall" one guard says to me
I stand like I'm told and they look shocked that I actually listened.
"Don't look to shocked I'm not doing this because I was told to" I say with a slight laugh
The first guard approaches me.
"Against the wall" he says angrier than before
"Does it really take five of you to escort me to my death, you shouldn't even be here, it isn't my time, it isn't Unity Day" I reply
He steps forward and pushes me to the wall.
Another guard walks towards him with a box, inside the box is a bracelet like object with lots of spikes in it. They are not getting that thing on me.
I elbow the guard holding me in the face and kick him in the stomach forcing all the air out of him. The other guards try to fight me, but I knock them all to the ground and run out of my cell.
All the prisoners are being escorted out of their cells.
I run, run as far as my legs take me and I make it out of the skybox. So many turns, left, right, and right again, I've lost track, it's been so long since I walked the halls of the ark.
As I turn the corner I see the Chancellor being held at gunpoint by another man, he looks quite young, around my age. I know it's trouble and I need to tell someone, even if it means being caught, but I don't care, I turn around and I go to run away but someone grabs me from behind and pulls me around a corner.
I try to scream but nothing comes out with the hand over my mouth, everything is muffled.
When I get a glimpse at the man's face its Commander Shumway.
"No witnesses" he says quietly.
"What" I try to say but I can't form the words.
I feel a pain in my abdomen, I look down and he stabbed me.
My vision starts to be blurry with the blood loss. The last thing I hear before I blackout is a gunshot, the last thing I see is a man approach Shumway, he looks at me with pity. And I'm gone.
