It's a hot summer day, no sign of those fluffy white clouds you always try to make out shapes in. Alone on patches of sticks, dirt, and leaves, a young boy is lying down.
"This sucks" he says speaking to the girl next to him.
"Why do you have to be the one to get picked for a dumb sacrifice. Don't you think it's stupid Kate".
"It's not dumb, it's important to the people. This was the only purpose of us being born. As a child of sacrifice you should know this was going to happen" Kate says.
"How could you be so calm, your literally going to get for a prayer to a god that hasn't helped are people in decades."
"Ben! Don't talk like that, someone could be listening. It's not like I want to die. It's just something I've come to turms with".
"Fuck the masters, I don't care if they are listening, it's not right. Ever sence you were selected I've been thinking of a plan to run away. I've saved up enough money to let a guard look the other way. We can get out of here tonight".
Kate looked over and smiled Allie before looking back at the sky "You and I both know we probably wouldn't make it 2 seconds outside the walls. Niether of us has a gods protection or even a bond".
Ben looks over to her "I know I don't yet but maybe I can awaken ".
"Ha" Kate laughs "if you awaken there would be no need to run, you would be treated as a king here anyway and maybe you could bring me with you".
Ben looks back up at the sky "even if I awaken who would want to live in a world like this.
Ben looks down at his watch. Shit, it's past Curfew!! Come on or we are going to be late".
