I ran as hard as i could, my feet smaking the ground, crushing leaves and twigs.
I heard my own breath ragged but i kept running. David had already been taken and so had Amy but i wasn't giving up that easily. I threw another look over my shoulder, even though i didnt hear anything. Of course there was nothing there.
They were to smart for that.
In my haste, i tripped over a mti that had fallen. i tried to scramble back up, but i hard set of arms grabbed my shoulders. I screamed, but i knew that no one would come for me. So when the hand clamped over my mouth i stopped my protests. Of course my attacker whipped me to face him, but i slammed my eyes shut and turned my head away.
"Carter. Look at me."
"NO!'
i felt cold fingers against my cheek. Even though i tried to rip my head away from them, it was to no avail.
"Open your eyes Carter."
i did what i was told. Of course he stood there looking at me, but instead of feeling Enchanted like Amy had with him i felt a burst of disgust.
"WHAT DO wewe WANT WITH ME?!"
"Carter i tried to stop them, i really did-"
"Sure. I should have known better to trust a stranger. All my Marafiki and i wanted was directions, not death!'
The strange boy looked at me. I knew he would look at first. My pure white hair and pink eyes. i really hated being Albino. I would get stares from anyone, anywhere for something i was born with.
But this boy was odd to look at as well. His hair fell to his ears in golden curls that looked soft enough to sleep in. His eyes were an odd shade of blue, like the sky.
"I'm truley sorry. My Marafiki thought wewe were the enemy."
"just let me go!" i snarled pulling free of him and i sprinted away as hard and as fast as i could.
When i got back to the Plaxe, what happened seemed to real in my mind. Amy,David and i had gone out for a walk and i had gotten lost. Our cellphones had no reception so we couldn't call anyone. Thats when we had seen them. There was the boy that had followed me and then there was his nine other friends. Including him,there were five boys and then four girls. They had attacked as soon as i had told them we were lost. In the struggle i had managed to throw a few punches, but David had been thrown to the ground quickly followed kwa a kisu and Amy's head was smashed kwa a heavy rock. Satisfied with what they had done, they had turned to me. That's when i ran.
Something inside me told me that these people were cunning and strange. Then something else had alisema who the hell cares?! they just killed two of your friends!RUN!
Finn and Marta wouldn't be happy to know that two zaidi of us had been killed. the Plaxe was another nyumbani that we had been moved to. All of the kids in the nyumbani had been found on the streets. There are... well were 14 of us but now there was only 12. I had been with these people my whole life. Marta told me that they found me in the ashes of an old nyumbani that had burned. we took in new people all the time. But someone almost always ended up dead. All of us had the worst luck ever.
I ran to my room, avoiding anyone in my path. when i got there i lyed down on my kitanda and stared at the ceiling.
That's when i remebered. How had that boy in the woods known my name?
Who were they?
Chapter 2
As i was lying on my bed, i heard the crinkle of paper under me. I pulled back the blankets to reaveal a letter. I turned it over again and again but there was nothing but my name in curvey handwriting.

Only in my dreams
You're missing, but you're always
a heartbeat from me
I'm Lost now without you
I don't know where wewe are
I keep watching
I keep hoping
but time keeps us apart
Is there a way I can find you?
Is there a sign I should know?
Is there a road I could follow
to bring wewe back home?
Winter lies before me
Now you're so far away
In the darkness of my dreaming
The light of wewe will stay
If I could be close beside you
If I could be where wewe are
If I could reach out and touch you
And bring wewe back home
Is there a way I can find you?
Is there a sign I should know?
Is there a road I could follow
to bring wewe back home?
To me...

this is an English sonnet I had to write for my English class and I need to know if it is good au not before I submit it, thank you. also the rhyme scheme is ababcdcdefefgg
---------------------------------------------------------------
My dear upendo wewe once were a shining ray.
In my eyes wewe meant the whole world to me.
Now everything about wewe is a shade of gray.
Like your beauty, your emotions, and your upendo is what I see.
However we must part onto our new paths.
Because our upendo is coming to its new close.
Colors were a beauty but now gray spreads its wrath.
I would upendo to feel again but now it’s a ghost.
Our upendo has left this earth for old times’ sake.
But when our upendo left it took wewe along too.
Sadly it left me with all this heartache.
Dying upendo was something I wish I had clues to
If someone told me upendo would never be easy
I would have chosen another path that’s breezy

He didn’t want money au fancy cars; all he wanted was to be loved kwa someone, any one at all. He needed someone to care about him, not his wealth, not his ties to the rich and famous, someone that actually cared about him, the boy with bright blue eyes that sparkled in the sunlight, curly raven black hair and a boyish grin permanently plastered on his face hiding the pain of being alone. Yet no one did, all they saw was the heir to the Jeffrey Empire, the boy that was going to inherited it all. The boy, who was the prefect son living up to the Jeffrey name. They never saw the boy’s who’s arms were covered in cuts, the kisu against his skin, the blood dripping down staining the carpet, his eyes closing never to open again. No one read the note tucked into his pocket cause no one cared.
I’m finished
I’m done
I can’t do this anymore
I’m through
I can’t last another second
It’s all I’ve ever seen
Surrounded kwa chaos
Filled with fear
Its’ all I can think about
All the Lost love
All the broken hearts
All the destroyed dreams
All the hopeless children
And devastated parents
Everyone who turned their cheek
Who ignored the cries
Of help and distress
No zaidi kindness
Only monsters and demons
Who always kill
wewe took her from me
And now you’ll pay
‘Cause I have one final thing to say
—Good-bye World
—Hello Death and eternity

There is strength in my heart.
I have looked for it
For decades now.
Yet I have not found it before.
Now I have.
It will get me over every obstacle,
Every region,
Every country.
It makes me proud
To see this.
To see my strength
Laying there,
Waiting for me.
And me only.
This type of strength
Is called courage.
Perseverance.
Perseverance is the best type
Of strength possible.
And I have it.
Yes, me.
Never before,
Will wewe see me cower within the shadows
Again, like before.
I have changed.
And I am sure wewe will see that.
I have strength in my heart.

I looked into the window
to see the girl before me.
she was gorgeous, and beautiful
She looked strong,
she looked independent.
Her Mask was no longer there,
but what was on the outside was visible.
wewe can see the scars on her heart,
wewe can see the hurt in her eyes,
and the pain on her face.
But wewe can also see how it made her stronger.
She has alisema "Enough is Enough, Today is the Day, and today i will be victorious"
she strikes the match,
and drops the flame, to burn her past
She smiles at me, and touches her face,
and she alisema the words "Today is the Day"
Today I finally discovered, The girl looking back at her,
was me. :)
