The Kill Code ( Being Rewritten)

Chapter Two

As Hunter dragged me down the large hallway, everything slowed down like time stood still , helping me prepare for my upcoming fate.
I could smell the mahogany antique furniture and I could sense the recent change in the atmosphere.
Everyone was probably locked in their rooms studying for the test.

The test, the moment that will define your future.
From when you arrive you are enrolled in a set of classes that your house mother chooses.
Girls attend home making, music, science all classes that will help you develop a talent
whereas boys attend bootcamp, combat training , I.T and engineering but history is a co-ed class. Every 6 months all the 18 year olds are put up against each other to win T.G.O,( top graduating orphan) which means they'd get their marking removed and would be allowed to go about life like a normal human being.

For the rest it wasn't the end of the world .
guys who passed were immediately enlisted into the national guard and if they survived official training they became a falcon ( basically a common security guard) but if they progressed they became an official HAWK agent known as a shadow. The highest rank you can reach and it meant you could show no signs of weakness and must be able to be a ruthless killer but even after all this service you'll still be treated like the gutter rat you're believed to be.

Girls on the otherhand are trained to master a talent and that's What passing the test meant. After passing you are moved to a housing project where your talents are used to expand HAWKS empire , whatever that meant.
If you don't pass you are moved from campston to mallen manor which is just up the road from campston but still situated within the grounds where you are given a chance to retake .

Mallen manor always had a strange aura about it . I could see it from my bedroom window and I would always stare at it trying to convince myself that failing wasn't the worst thing in the world but all the staring ended up giving me a different vibe.
Mallen was different to campston. it wasn't nearly as big and was surrounded by twice as many guards .
it had an uneasy atmosphere.
In the past I'd always watched the orphans go in but never seen them coming out

"Here we are" Hunter said with a large smirk on his face
" are you ready ?" he retoricaly asked so I just rolled my eyes and straightened myself out .Standing in front of the large , double wooden doors with the name Victoria Avalon Pasted on them ,which made me, strangely ,feel a sense of confidence I had no fear until...

" Come in " Ms. Victoria Avalon said in her exaggerated British accent " Hunter what do you want ? You know better then to bother me at this hour"
" Yes , sorry miss but I caught Isabella with this" he handed her the vile as he started sweating.
The jerk was just as scared as I was.
" glyco acid" she muttered as she sniffed the contents
" Hunter excuse yourself And tell the cook to prepare one less meal "
"yes ms.Avalon" he was frozen with fear .
I mentally laughed at the thought that one women could terrify him this much . "well boy leave !" She shouted . she looked exhausted her brown eyes were surrounded by dark circles.

Ms.victoria Avalon was a particularly skinny women that towered over me with her tall frame .
she wasn't old but the grey streaks in her hair ( result from stress) wich she always wore in a neat low bun made her look much older.
She rose from her chair wearing her signature navey blazer and pencil skirt , one knew she meant business .
with 5 swift steps and one quick lift of her arm she planted a hard slap on my left cheek which was now pounding and full of heat,
I could feel my blood rushing but resisted the intense urged to touch it as not to earn another one . "Do you want to make me look bad?" My eyes were watering but I mentally beat it into myself not to cry
" do you think I enjoy looking after you piece of filth" she lifted my chin As to look me in the eyes. It looked as if she was searching them but couldn't find answers.

She took a sudden step back as if she saw something and with her finger pointed in my face
" no food for 3 days and 2 nights confinement now get out of my sight" she said calmly but as I turned around she called " Isabella I have high hopes for you don't pull another stunt like this otherwise I will forget them."
I didn't turn around I just stood still listening to her politely say if you step out of line I'll have you killed.

As the doors opened my soul felt crushed .
my eyes were starting to well up with water, I knew what was about to happen and I couldn't stop it but I could stop anyone from seeing it .so I ran ,head to the floor as the voices in my head kept on screaming run ,Run, RUN!

I ran with all I had in me .
I had to get to my room , close the door
and let this overwhelming emotion leave me
so I continued Running down the hall , up the stairs , to the left until something knocked me down and when I looked up.....

I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HAPPIER.
