Chapter 1 - The Escape Plan

We were all on the run as the sirens were blaring and the lights flashing. It was late at night and pouring down rain, but tonight was the night. It was now or never. All of us children are trying to escape the camp we were trained to kill people. Although tonight we are trying to get our freedom that was once stolen from us since birth. As I look around me I see children of all ages, some are younger than me and some that are older. Looking at all my friends I just think this cannot be the end, with so much planning there is no way that we are going to be captured and forced to work anymore.

I see some of my friends surrounding me as we make it to the fence and they are all looking at me for some type of leadership. I was the oldest one in our unit, so naturally they looked up to me as if I was an older brother. I hear a scream behind me and turn to look and I notice a girl around my age had fallen into a deep muddy hole. Looking at her closely I noticed who it was. I wanted to help her so bad, but I couldn't. There is only one issue and I cannot help her. There is only one chance for all of us to be free. If I help her now there is a good chance that neither of us will be free.

I'm getting closer to the fence, and I can feel the smile on my face growing wider and wider. I put one hand onto the chain link fence not caring about the pain of the wire pressing into my hand, all I cared about was making my way into freedom. My life was about change, only a few more steps till I was free.

Then all of a sudden, my foot was being torn from my leg. They must have let the dogs out to try and kill any of us that was trying to escape the camp. I could feel his sharp K9 teeth pulling my foot down as I keep trying to climb the fence. If I wanted to make it out of this camp alive my only hope was to get rid of this dog. I bite my tongue and kick the dog as hard as I could with my other foot hoping to free myself. After a few kicks his tight grip on my leg had finally released along with my shoe. I hear the dog yelp and the noise fades away along with the dog.

I climb up the fence to the top to only have to go through more pain. The whole top of the wire fence was completely covered in barb wire. I just keep thinking to myself that if I have gone this far to become free I can go through even more pain. So, I try to avoid the barb wire and jump over the fence knowing it was going to hurt me more than what I could only image. After I had finally fallen to the ground I had noticed all my clothing was completely torn up and there was blood dripping from my whole body.

As I limp around trying to get to a safe place to rest for a bit I start to feel a little bit dizzy. There is no way I could have possible already bleed out enough to start to feel dizzy. I have been trained so many times on how to apply first ad to stop the bleeding then I will have to keep moving forward. Slowly I begin to rip off strips of my shirt off and I start to apply pressure to most of the areas that were bleeding out. I get up and start to take off not realizing that it would be a bad idea until I saw a cave. Pushing myself even harder just so I can make it to the cave was the worst pain of them all. It's as if my body wanted to quit and give up on everything, but my brain knew that I couldn't stop or else no matter what I did I would be dead.

Just as I enter the cave my body and mind both agreed right then and there, that would be the end of tonight and that I needed to rest. I was so tired and in pain, I wanted to worry about everyone else, but I just didn't have the energy to worry about them at all. As I lay on the cold, wet ground of the cave my vision starts to go in and out, and I slowly start to fall asleep.
