I'm sick and tiered of them taking my friends away. They take them away and never give them back, only the once have one of them came back but that I don't want to go into.
I can't let that happen again.... Never again. Today is national Reaping day. They announce it through big speakers in the town square as that but to me it is just a day were I lose my friends.... Not all of them but a lot of them.
Just before they announce lockdown I run to Olivia's house, the place we all intended to meet. As I enter I see Olivia's mother leave through the back door. I enter and as soon as I am a safe distance away from the door the hole town go's under lockdown. I look around and see all of my friends sitting in the darkest corner of the room. Surrounding them is a sea of furniture. I walk through a little opening in the only layer of there protection and see that everyone has broken down and started crying. As I walk in they try to pull themselves together.
Thats when I hear the door open and they all start crying again Olivia gets up and I see not a tear has touched her face. She is tough. Tougher than anyone else I know. I spin around and see the reapers. I look them in the eye and see nothing. They have no souls. They are soulless. "Take me but leave them!" I say, angrily, they notice it and grab onto me. Others go into the group of children and I know my words made no affect. "So are we being experimented on or what. Is it some kind of sick an twisted game show that if you get three questions wrong you have some organs took out that you cant live without but it takes a while for you to die and your operated on without even a pain killer to dull the pain even the tiniest bit?" I ask the woman dressed in full black in the car.
"Something like that..." she says in a voice that is so beautiful that it means she can only be like me. I gasp and wait in silence to be plunged into my horrid future that has already been planed out for me.
