The rocks burned into my feet as I ran over them, my lungs filling with dust. The sun is coming up we need to hurry, I thought. "Ann hurry your ass up! The sun is coming." I shouted over my shoulder to my little sister. Ann ran behind me trying to keep up, her toxic green hair waving in the wind. The shelter was two feet away with the sun about to rise I ran faster yelling again to Ann "Hurry please." I hit the cool shade of the shelter and several arms wrapped around me. I twisted around reaching out for Ann but she had fallen hopelessly crying out. Her glitter tears fell down her face one by one slowly. "Help!" she yelled "Vivian please!" I tried to run to her but the arms had locked around my waist holding me tight enabling me to move. The sun rose and Ann looked at it then back to me frantically. The sunlight hit her legs and smoke began to form, the smell of burning flesh filled the air. "Ann!" I screamed out but it didn't matter her screams covered mine. She disappeared into the earth her skin melted off bones black left on the ground. I just lost my sister to the fucking sun. The arms pulled me back further into the shelter whispering to me "it will be ok."

I was taken to my room where my only friend sat on the bed. I sat in front of her looking at her face in case I lose her too. Marisol is bald her eyes are white with orange diamonds inside. Her chemical number is 2011438, she is the only one that cannot feel pain but that doesn't stop her from trying. Her stare is blank as I suspect she is studding my face in case I am taken away. My chemical number is -.3456, my hair is long but spiked in random area's that's its natural way. My hair is completely neon pink and glows in the dark, my eyes change the chemical gave me mood eyes. I suspect they are a dark blue right now but I'm not sure. My right arm is laced in tattoo's numbers and designs that move along my arm. "Are you doing ok?" Marisol asked quietly. "Ya I'm fine," I replied. "Your eyes tell a different story Vivian." I looked down hating that my eyes gave everything away. "I didn't even get to finish telling her about herself, and look then I take her out hunting and she dies because of me!" I said angrily. "How far along were you?" asked Marisol. I thought back to the day me and Ann where sitting on my dirt floor of my room.

"Ok so you know that we were made by chemicals, are whole body is just an experiment. We are not human like the elders we won't grow old and die. We hit a certain age and we stay that way we weren't made to die." What age? Asked Ann. "Depends on the person now stop interrupting me. The doctors control us, some say we should respect them because they brought us into this world but they only put us here to experiment on us, they gave us life to give us hell. They watch our every move making us do things for their pleasure. We might never live a free life but Ann that's where you come in we have bigger plans something that's…" Ann's eyes moved to the door as a group of her friends walked past. "Vivian do you think I could go... we have been talking forever please?" I sighed fine I said waving her away.

I looked at Marisol then back to the floor because I just couldn't bear to tell her this to her face. "I wasn't able to tell her she was the leader. She left before I could finish telling her." Marisol shifted watching the door way for any one that could be listening, "So who will lead us now?" I sighed I asked myself that question but I knew what she would suggest and I didn't want to do it. "You'll have to lead us then you're the best, just like Ann." Marisol said true fully. "No! I don't want to do it, that's why Ann is . . . was going to lead us," I shouted punching the wall. "Vivian please calm down," Marisol said slightly moving away from me. I looked at my eyes in the mirror to see that they were a burning red now. I rested my head on the wall "Just go," I said not looking at her. Marisol got up and walked to the door turning slightly "You're the one Vivian it's been that way forever better except it." With that she walked out leaving me like I said to. I couldn't clear my head every thought was swarming around me, suffocating me. I put my face into my pillow and screamed. I screamed in till my throat was raw; in tell the thoughts went away. I heard a soft knock on my door and I looked up. Evan stood in my door way his brown hair flipped to the right, exposing his tattoos down his neck that traveled all the way down his body. "I'm sorry about your sister Vivian," Evan said. I turned on my side so that my back faced him; I began to study the wall. "Not now Evan," I said. He walked in and sat on my bed with me. "Evan please go this is not the time," I said, I lost all energy to deal with him. "Vivian you know that we were matched together so at some point we need to be together," Evan said. I turned toward him all ready pissed off. "Fuck you Evan do you see my eyes I'm sure they are red. There not purple or pink there isn't any sign of love when I see you. You know why because I DON'T LIKE YOU! Get it through your effen' head Evan." I spat at him. Evan got up "I'll be back Vivian when you calm down." "Whatever," I said turning back to the wall.
