She had finally been able to make it. She looked around and saw a ton of people around. That is a lot of people she thought I really hope they don’t find this place. Suddenly, she saw someone walking over to her. The stranger walked over and sat down next to her. He had brown hair and emerald green eyes and was wearing all black. He looked a little like Rosabella. She had long brown hair and hazel eyes. She wore black pants and a green shirt with a black hoodie. He stuck out his hand. “Hey, I’m Titus” he said “I saw that you were new and decided to welcome you”. “Oh, um thanks” Rosabella said “I’m Rosabella. Nice to meet you”. She took his hand and shook it. “So, what brought you here?” Titus asked. “I needed some cover for awhile. I am always constantly chased by the enhanced.” Rosabella said. She took out her sword and ran her finger over the blade. “Do you prefer blade or gun?” she asked. “Gun” Titus responded, looking around. “I am more old fashioned” Rosabella said “I prefer blade. It’s what I learned to use”. Titus thought for a moment. They haven’t taught blades for years. Who is she and where did she come from? “Where did you live, like before the corruption?” Titus asked “Britain” Rosabella answered “You?” “New America” Titus responded. He stood up and signaled her to follow. He walked over to a corner before he sat down again. “Why did we move?” Rosabella asked. “Spies” Titus said, lowering his voice “The enhanced aren’t stupid. They place spies in the camps and they can’t know royalty is here.” Rosabella blushed slightly. “How did you know?” She asked “No one knows that but me and my dead family”. “It was easy to figure out” Titus said “First, no one has used swords since the dark ages and they only teach it to royalty. Second, your name sounds very royal. Third, the symbol on the sword is the symbol of the royal family.” “Wow, you are good” Rosabella said “Yeah, I was only a symbol of hope. We didn’t do anything to help the people. They sent me away when the enhanced got past our defences. My parents told me to run, so I grabbed an emergency bag and fled. I ran until I got to the harbor and I took a ship to New America. That was 3 years ago.” Her eyes were filled with tears as she spoke. She wiped her eyes and looked at Titus. “I had always wondered why the royal family had disappeared” Titus said. He grabbed his backpack and took something out of it. It was a newspaper. The headline said “ROYAL FAMILY MISSING!”. It was dated to 3 years ago. Titus looked around and his eyes went wide in alarm. “We have to go, now” He whispered “Why?” Rosabella asked “Enhancements, outside. I know a backdoor. We have to leave” Titus said, packing his things. Rosabella grabbed her stuff and followed Titus to the door. Titus walked out the door and ran towards the forest. Rosabella followed, sprinting ahead. “Follow me” she shouted as she turned and kept running. She did a couple more turns before she made it into a clearing. She stopped and started making camp there. A while later, she heard a sound in the forest she started walking over with her sword drawn. She moved silently and saw a boy and a girl hiding in the bush. Chapter Two Alison was the commander of the enhanced. She had been enhanced twice in the past. She had red hair with dark blue eyes. She needed to get to a temple in the forest, but she was in the enhanced homebase in Great Britain. It would be impossible to escape without a plan. “Ok” Alison muttered to herself “I have to move”. She ran as fast as she could past the security and soon, she could see the exit. But then, she bumped into someone. “Hello” She said “I’m Alison”. She was going to bolt but they grabbed her wrist “I’m Jake” He said. Jake had dirty blond hair, cut the soldier cut. He was in full uniform. ”Well I’ve got to go” Alison said. “Not so fast” he said “What’s your rank and are you on night patrol?”
“I’m Commander and no” Alison said. She hit him hard in the head and picked him up. She ran past the entrance and into the woods. She started to slow down and she plopped Jake down and made it to the temple. While Alison was running, the chief announced to the soldiers, “Commander Alison is missing. There is no video footage to see if she was kidnapped or if she escaped. Send out search parties to try to find the commander. Bring her back unharmed.” Alison finally reached the temple, but she saw an enhanced patrol car “Oh no,” Alison said. Soon she was surrounded by enhanced “So, I guess you guys are here to take me back? Well, I won’t let you.” Alison said. She bolted out of the temple at full speed while having Jake on her back. He started waking up. Her gun was in her hand and Jake was on her back. She ran past the patrol and started sprinting towards the docks. When she got there, she snuck onto a boat and it took off, heading towards New America. A couple days later, the boat finally reached New America. While everything was getting unloaded, Alison and Jake ran off the boat and into New New York. On the boat ride there, Alison and Jake had come to terms. Both of them had been wanting to escape and they promised to look out for each other. They had to keep a low profile because everyone hated the enhanced. Finally, they got to a forest where they started walking. Soon, they saw a clearing, but there was a camp set up. They heard footsteps and hid in a bush. Chapter Three Rosabella walked over to the bush and with her sword drawn, she went and pushed the bush away. She saw a girl and a boy around the ages of 15 and 16. “Who are you?” Rosabella asked. “I’m Alison. That is Jake” She said. Titus walked over to them “Who are they?” He asked “That’s Alison and that’s Jake” Rosabella said “Would you guys like some food?”. “I’m ok, you Jake?” Alison said. “Yes I would like some,” Jake said. Rosabella walked over to the fire and took some food off that was cooking. She handed it to Jake and signaled them to come over and sit near the fire. Alison walked over with Jake. Alison had a mark on her hand that all the enhanced did, but she was hiding it from Rosabella and Titus. “What's that Alison?” Jake asked. “Nothing,” Alison said quickly. Rosabella quickly took Alison’s hand and looked at the mark. When she saw it, a horrified expression was plastered on her face. “Are…………….” Rosabella asked “Are you one of them?”. “I ran away. I had been enhanced twice” Alison said “No, you may stay the night, but then you have to leave.” Rosabella said before going over to her tent and tried to fall asleep. Alison went to a tree. “I try to fit in, but no, I have to be cast out all the time” Alison said with anger in her voice. She started to kick the tree at the third it fell down. Jake came over “Hey, Ali” Jake said. “Don’t call me that” She glared at Jake. Titus walked over to Rosabella’s tent. “Hey, you okay?” He asked “No” she responded “There is an enhanced in my camp. The race that killed my family. What should I do?” “Well, you could talk to them” Titus said “We all need some rest. I’ll see you in the morning”. Rosabella fell asleep instantly once Titus left. Alison was really mad. Rosabella woke up in the morning and went to go apologize to Adison “Leave me be” Alison said “Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to overreact. You can stay if you want” Rosabella said. “Look, the enhanced are looking for me. It’s too dangerous.” Alison said “Well, we could help protect you guys” Titus answered walking over. “I’m going to go get breakfast,” Rosabella said. A couple hours later, Titus was scouting the perimeter when he heard something in the distance. He jumped up on a tree and saw that the enhanced were surrounding the clearing. He jumped down to warn the others, but he by the time he warned them, they were completely surrounded……………….. To be continued on Part 2
