I walk through the same off white hallway I walk through every day with Marie (Marie Jacqueline my best friend) babbling on about a human experiment that was supposed to be a myth like sixteen years ago. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Gdw87mlV
"I'm telling ya! You know why it's true? Ask me?" She said with that I-know-more-than-you type of voice. "Why's it tru-" 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqICCnMCNU
"Because today in the news paper it said there was a meeting tonight to explain the situation of leaving including a couple of words from the Brits and hope from the one and only hybrid solider," 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtcKJjOKOr
"Wait, " I said and stoped in the middle of the hallway "people are leaving? Where they going?" 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ7BdJQCxe
"Agh! Don't you ever hear, read, or listen? The Brits arrived yesterday and they figured out a way to shut down The Cloud and possibly restore humanity ever heard of that?" She grabbed my arm indicating she wanted me to walk with her. "Twenty Brits! Ten dead and two injured." 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhCVlTSKb9
"Wow. Yah never heard of it,"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzN1MYIxML
"Yup. And I'm thinking of volunteering if you go," said with absolutely no confidence at all; her voice even dropped to a whisper. "I know it's a really bad idea and we could be killed, but I'd rather live a short life and maybe do something to help the world than do nothing at all and sit to wait to have my food served to me." She said so fast it took me an open mouthed second to process what she said. "Don't look at me like that!" She whispered furiously. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnxW27TAzk
"Going outside is all I've ever wanted to do,"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xxnahor1f
"I know,"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQapRTRxQFV
"And saving the world and having my name known is a dream," 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrI81DNxZk
"I know," 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52cJT1Pytv
"It would be me, you, and who else? Do we get any protection to go with us?" 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eLlAqAIj1
"I'm glad you asked because..." 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXalbn3Lpd1
Marie told me of her predictions on the hybrid and the British people; she also told me the government wants young energetic people going along with an army of twenty soldiers. Don't worry I asked the same question "Won't that draw too much attention?" She replied saying how we would split into groups and go separately to The Mark as she calls it. It's the place we would have to destroy which will blow up the Cloud satellite. Why no one thought of this before? Good question.
I told my parents about leaving and they didn't take it well, so after shouting for an hour they decided if my brother can join the military than I can join an extremely dangerous hunt that will most likely get me killed.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX1UvLhnYu
My brother got three months of boot camp and I get two days. I mean I learned a lot of survival skills in school like what to do when there's a cave in or how to build a fire, but is that enough to prepare me for aliens that have excellent smell and reflexes? My dad said I was making the stupidest choice in the history of stupidness, so my mom took me to the meeting. Mom told me not to worry about dad because she just knew he would come around; which wasn't to reassuring.
I sit in my seat with mom on my left and Marie and her parents on my right. My legs were shaking badly it was embarrassing. It probably looked like I was having a silent fit. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz0g9I5iXf
A man stepped onto the stage and people started clapping. Clapping! I've never seen this man before. He started talking, but I couldn't hear him. I wanted to be far away from him as possible. "Don't worry," a voice said in my head "you'll be very far away from him soon." NO! I screamed in my head. I grabbed Marie's hand. "What is it?" She asked 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN0qCVgDTt
"I can't do this." I said and I felt her hand shaking. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0WthmdrKh
"Yes. You. Can." She said taking breaths between words. "Oh my gosh." A shock whisper escaped her mouth as she looked to the stage.
