It's currently nighttime in Neo City. The fresh scent of flowers bombards the city during this storm. It's been years since the scouts last touched the surface outside the borders of neo City, me personally I have never seen beyond the borders but I plan to tonight.
"Nyx, it's dinner time!!" a voice shouts.
"Coming mom" I shouted back.
I shut the door behind myself as I sit down in my usual seat at the dinner table. My mom likes to tell me stories about how I've always liked this chair because of its blue cushion. I push my plate of beans and broccoli to the side.
"Mom we always eat beans and broccoli WHERE IS THE MEAT!" I say in a groan.
"We've been over this a thousand times, we will have meat when the scouts go beyond the borders." My mom says clearly trying to keep calm.
We have had this same conversation regarding the "savage territory" or as we call it "beyond the border" many times before her answer never changing.
"Honey the boy has a point, maybe it's time for us to take it up with the high court." my mom's boyfriend said in a deep cold voice.
"You know Queen May WILL NEVER ALLOW THAT!! Do you know what she did to the last people who dare make a statement!?"my mom said quickly.
The whole house was quiet now, this was because the queen may kill those that dare disagree with her statements and we all knew this. Anyways I've always loved when my mom's boyfriend kale came by to hangout for a little bit. because he would always get my mom to try and think about my side of the argument and it works a little.
"She killed them and I know that but we are all gonna die anyway" Kale said before rustling his short spiky green hair creating wrinkles in his white lab coat.
"That's my point, she is selfish and unfit for royalty"my mother scoffs at kale.
In my opinion kale has always been very cold, even since day one but my mother swears he wasn't always like this, but I'm pretty sure he has since he was born and I think everyone else in the city agrees with me.
At this point I'm about to escape this house with three easy steps
Step one: keep my mom and kale arguing
Step two: find a clone or decoy
Step three: climb out my window
Now I know the climbing out the window thing seems pretty unrealistic but my room is on the first floor. Sneaking past the guards is not as easy especially since it's the middle of the night so guard duty is heavy. A classic pebble distraction and I'm through the gate.
"Hey no one's allowed past the gate" a voice shouts from behind me
I take off sprinting, the cold is filling my lungs as the guards are close behind me, their footsteps echoing through the soundless night, I begin to turn my head…
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh." I scream at the top of my lungs as I plummet down the cliff, the air catching my long black hair. As I fall I feel a brief moment of weightlessness, and I look down to see the ground fast approaching and look up to see the guards no longer there before I shut my eyes closed tight preparing for the impact.
Ten years later
"Get up kid…KID GET THE FREAK UP DANG IT YOU WANT TO SURVIVE DONT YOU!!!!"
I slowly begin to open my eyes to the familiar voice my vision still hazed and my world spinning
"About time you woke up" the voice says muttering something under his breath like "are you trying to get killed" or "napping already". However, that wasn't my main focus. my focus was on the figure standing above me, because the voice wasn't matching the looks of the person before my eyes.
"K..k-kale is that you??" I say my voice weak and Shaky as I'm still recovering from my a coma.
" Is it not obvious!!?" Kale replies his voice just as cold as I remembered it.
