I ran as hard as i could, my feet smaking the ground, crushing leaves and twigs.
I heard my own breath ragged but i kept running. David had already been taken and so had Amy but i wasn't giving up that easily. I threw another look over my shoulder, even though i didnt hear anything. Of course there was nothing there.
They were to smart for that.
In my haste, i tripped over a árvore that had fallen. i tried to scramble back up, but i hard set of arms grabbed my shoulders. I screamed, but i knew that no one would come for me. So when the hand clamped over my mouth i stopped my protests. Of course my attacker whipped me to face him, but i slammed my eyes shut and turned my head away.
"Carter. Look at me."
"NO!'
i felt cold fingers against my cheek. Even though i tried to rip my head away from them, it was to no avail.
"Open your eyes Carter."
i did what i was told. Of course he stood there looking at me, but instead of feeling encantada like Amy had with him i felt a burst of disgust.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?!"
"Carter i tried to stop them, i really did-"
"Sure. I should have known better to trust a stranger. All my friends and i wanted was directions, not death!'
The strange boy looked at me. I knew he would look at first. My pure white hair and rosa, -de-rosa eyes. i really hated being Albino. I would get stares from anyone, anywhere for something i was born with.
But this boy was odd to look at as well. His hair fell to his ears in golden curls that looked soft enough to sleep in. His eyes were an odd shade of blue, like the sky.
"I'm truley sorry. My friends thought you were the enemy."
"just let me go!" i snarled pulling free of him and i sprinted away as hard and as fast as i could.
When i got back to the Plaxe, what happened seemed to real in my mind. Amy,David and i had gone out for a walk and i had gotten lost. Our cellphones had no reception so we couldn't call anyone. Thats when we had seen them. There was the boy that had followed me and then there was his nine other friends. Including him,there were five boys and then four girls. They had attacked as soon as i had told them we were lost. In the struggle i had managed to throw a few punches, but David had been thrown to the ground quickly followed por a faca and Amy's head was smashed por a heavy rock. Satisfied with what they had done, they had turned to me. That's when i ran.
Something inside me told me that these people were cunning and strange. Then something else had said who the hell cares?! they just killed two of your friends!RUN!
Finn and Marta wouldn't be happy to know that two mais of us had been killed. the Plaxe was another início that we had been moved to. All of the kids in the início had been found on the streets. There are... well were 14 of us but now there was only 12. I had been with these people my whole life. Marta told me that they found me in the ashes of an old início that had burned. we took in new people all the time. But someone almost always ended up dead. All of us had the worst luck ever.
I ran to my room, avoiding anyone in my path. when i got there i lyed down on my cama and stared at the ceiling.
That's when i remebered. How had that boy in the woods known my name?
Who were they?
Chapter 2
As i was lying on my bed, i heard the crinkle of paper under me. I pulled back the blankets to reaveal a letter. I turned it over again and again but there was nothing but my name in curvey handwriting.

Bullets fly through the air at a man behind a car. He rolls from the car to an alley avoiding the gun fogo and makes a run for a motorcycle on the other side. Once getting there he pulls a .44 out of a saddle bag on the side and takes off as fast as it can go. No sooner than he hit the throttle the force was on him once again with heavy fogo whizzing past his head. With them picking up speed he starts avoiding the incoming traffic hoping they continue to miss. He pulls the .44 from the coldre and fires a few shots back. He turns back and holsters the gun and tries to stay ahead. After a few mais blocks a cruzador gets beside him and shoots his back tire. The bike loses control and as he tries to turn it flings him off into the side of a parked car. With some broken ribs and a banged up leg and tries to run but hits the ground as an officer tackles him.
Well,he walked up to me and he asked me if I wanted to dance.
He looked kind of nice so I said I might take a chance.
When he danced he held me tight
And when he walked me início that night
All the stars were shining bright
And then he kissed me.
Each time I saw him I couldn't wait to see him again
I wanted to let him know that he was mais than a friend
I didn't know just what to do
So I whispered " I amor you"
And he said that he loved me too
And then he kissed me.
He kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before,
he kissed me in a way that I wanna be kissed forever more.
I knew that he was mine so I gave him all the amor that I had
And one dia he took me início to meet his mum and his dad
Then he asked me to be his bride
And always be right por his side
I felt so happy I almost cried
And then he kissed me.

Sleep was improbable
Emerging from my bed
Like a delicate butterfly
Raindrops pouring on my smooth, darkened window.
Pondering miraculous thoughts
About being a teen in America
Freedom to express myself as an individual
I want to relinquish my profound story
Being a teenager with freedom is
Hopeful
Rewarding
Honorable
Desirable
The past is behind me, the future is just beyond my grasp
Learning to be flawless through life's experiences
Having the pleasure to persue my ambitious talent
Being a teen in America simply is my stepping
stone to future greatness.
