I ran to the Great Hall with my feet kissing on the ground. Perchance a while ago, I would have refused to run so swift but now I enjoy the prospect. These feet were made to run with the speed of the paws of a cheetah. Breath steady, muscles strong and heart robust - this girl was born to run.371Please respect copyright.PENANAglfeg8VLMt
That's what I thought for almost sixteen years until I was forced into 'Penitentiary of Juveniles' by my own loving parents. But I didn't blame them, it wasn't their fault. It was all because of that Devil, that Dictator who convinced everybody to send their children to his academy, 'Chisel Halls of Ivy' to chisel its students into best citizens of the country for free. I mean that's what every institute does at least literally except for the free part but, my parents and all other parents of my town 'Pseudo Falls' didn't bother to turn down such an elite opportunity. I couldn't change their mind no matter how hard I tried; it was as if they had been mind-controlled to directly follow Dictators instructions. Ha, mind-control! I must have watched too much sci-fi movies but still I couldn't run from their decision.371Please respect copyright.PENANAQk0HJa4eUX
Chisel Halls of Ivy was just his cover up to assemble all the youth of the town and isolate them for his whims. Since then, none of us has ever seen our parents but we received typed letters from them every four months. Everybody received letters every four months at the exact same day, even though it seemed bizarre I didn't care because it proved that they were alive and that was my paramount, period.371Please respect copyright.PENANA1PWUYTXuOt
The building was a sole representative of roman architecture. It had hexastyle design with six marble columns under the pediment at either end with a large circular domed cella. The outside looked like Chisel Halls of Ivy but the inside was surely the Penitentiary of Juveniles with supermax prison cells, solid steel doors, concrete beds and intimidating supervisors. Each one of us knew, our lives wouldn't be the same from now on. We had to follow their code laws and orders and here I am standing in the Great Hall the same way I stood a year ago with my mates waiting for our orders.371Please respect copyright.PENANA2m4URjrbXX
Except for one thing, I was all alone, the only beating heart and the only being of warm blood and flesh in the hall. So, I wasn't fast enough ergo, I am late and I should prepare for my punishment. As far as I can remember penalty for being late is the time precision room and God knows what I should do or what will be done to me in there.371Please respect copyright.PENANA8cu0jaecHw
I looked for a living soul and fortunately saw Blythe and Leonora running towards me, "Tiara, what the hell were you doing this long? You are very late; we were dispersed thirty seconds ago. If you haven't forgotten,you are going to the time precision room. Tia, I'm sorry I can't help you", she frowned. I broke down, "Oh nooo, what will I do now Blythe? I'm good as dead, I don't know what they'll do to me, I'm so scared!" 371Please respect copyright.PENANA2LtdYnV3rY
"You won't die in the time precision room if you are accurate", Leonora, a girl with honey hued skin, dusky pink lips and wavy black locks and also a great friend encouraged me with a small grin. Blythe asked," Accurate with what?" "Time obviously, its in the name time precision room. The punishment will teach you the importance of being time accurate because having even a slightest error can have fatal consequences", Leonora laughed while I was worried about 'fatal consequences' but, I choose to be strong no matter what happens. Being strong doesn't mean the absence of fear. Being strong is viewing all the issues with no self-deception and filters. This what I tell myself.371Please respect copyright.PENANAyV2OoQo2Re
I spoke with high enthusiasm," What should I do?" " Well, you just need to complete some tasks within a stipulated time. Finish the task, you are free as a bird and if you don't -", Leonora paused probably for her dramatic conclusion; "YOU ARE DEAD AS A DODO."371Please respect copyright.PENANAFGGPjI3e0R
I became red-hot angry," I can die just for being late. What kind rules does that psycho make?" Blythe held my shoulders, "Hey, don't lose hope we survived one year in this hell with these wicked wardens, how hard can those tasks be? Tia, you can do this."371Please respect copyright.PENANABstkdYQsKs
Blythe always know the right words to say, I felt motivated and fearless until I saw Mr.Hades, the warden walking to me. His pointy nose, withered skin, angry face and gleam in his eyes alone scared me to death, God knows what the tasks will do to me. He didn't speak and pulled me across the hall and the hallway into the time precision room. He pushed me in and locked the door. It was all dark and gave me creepy vibes but, I didn't bang, I didn't scream. I waited and waited to face my battles and fight like a woman.371Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q9F1eKCGv
