《Eutopialis Failing》 Chapter 1 Marrissa loved walking in the park. It calmed her, made all her stress go away. She liked nothing better than to be alone with her thoughts. Right then she was thinking about if she should get a cup of coffee. However these thoughts were interrupted by her best friend Aredesa. "Marrissa!", She called waving her hand to get her attention, "Marrissa wait up!". Marrissa stopped and let her friend catch up. Aredesa had her hair in a braid, the golden strands coming loose from the do. "Hi." She said just as her disheveled friend reached her. "Marrissa, where were you?" She said breathlessly, "You were supposed to meet me at Mocha Michelle''s an hour ago!" "OH NO!" Marrissa hit her head with the palm of her hand, " I''m soo sorry I totally forgot!" She was supposed to meet her there for a biology project meeting. "It is okay. We can work on it later I suppose," said Aredesa, "Anyway guess what? A guy asked for my number at the coffee shop. And he was rather cute!" "That''s nice. What did you give it to him?" Replied Marrissa. Suddenly there was a flash of light, just out of the corner of her eye, toward a grove of trees. She whipped her head towards it as Aredesa gave her a play by play of what happened with the guy. She swore.......was that a...? Never mind, She thought, Its just my imagination running away with me, even at 16. Suddenly a hand was waving in front of her face. "Marrissa? What are you staring at?", Asked Aredesa, concern plain in her voice.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. "Oh nothing.", She said, turning to her and smiling, "Lets go." ************************************************************************************************************ Sliver steel sliced through the air and connected with the scales of its target, decapitating it. The blades owner shook the green slime that passed for the creatures blood off in disgust. The beast had been following him since he got off the subway and had followed him here to the park. He had managed to lure it into the trees to kill it. "Nice.That must be a new one." The boy turned to see his best friend, Mark, standing a few feet away. "Yeah",said Jonathon. The creature was a grosteque combination, having the body of a beatle and the head of a snake. "When did you get here?" " Oh. Just in time to see the last few minutes ." Mark replied. He shook his head."What do you wanna name it?", He asked, nudging it with his toe, "Beatlesnake?" "Fine with me.", Replied Mark,"Come on lets get back to base Jonathon. We have work to do." "Ok." said the boy, Jonathon. And then they both took off running. Jonathon loved running. It made him feel free of this accursed place that they called Eutopialis. They being the Peacemakers. Running this place like it was a little Utopia, they were blinding people into thinking it really wasperfect.Jonathon and the people that he was apart of were the only ones who had noticed what was wrong with it. The Peacemakers were changing everything. It all started when the program SAFETY 54 came to town, and all over the world. They had these chips that were implanted into you, and it stopped all crime around the world. How? By targeting a part of your brain that controls decision making. But there was a problem. A big one. And the people who realized what was happening, took it upon themselves to stop it. Therefore the Resistance was born. "Are you coming?" Mark asked, pulling Jonathon back out of his head. They had reached the Base. "Yeah." Jonathon replied, sighing , and they went inside. Spoiler: Spoiler Chapter 2 Marrissa was walking home from a meeting with Aredesa. It was almost curfew, so she had to hurry. She was wishing for a coffee, and with that thought came another. A memory actually. Of three days ago, the flash she had seen. It had been invading her thoughts for a few days. And every time she thought about it, details became clearer. There had been a shadow shaped like........ a boy. In a hoodie, and jeans- and the glint of a blade coming down. Marrissa slowed to a walk as she reached the corner of the street. Her mind raced. A SWORD? No. No, it couldn''t have been. All weapons are outlawed..... A shiver suddenly went down her back. It felt as if someone watching her. Slowly, she turned around. ****************** ****************** He had been scouting. Jonathon was coming back from JULES BAR, now turned, by the Peacemakers, into a family restaurant. That was what pissed him off sometimes. A man couldn''t even get a drink. He was walking down 1st Avenue when he saw her. She was wearing a knee length white dress shirt, with a black belt, and tights. Along with it she was wearing white slip on shoes, her black-purple streaked hair in a long ponytail one strand hanging down. He stopped, watching her. As if she could sense he was there, she slowly turned towards him. She had high cheekbones, full lips, and a petite nose. Quite beautiful, but for a small scar interrupting her right black brow, down to just above her eyelid when she blinked. They stood, frozen for a moment. Him mezmerised and she with a curious look.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. "Hey, are you watching me?" She called. Jonathon couldn''t help what he did next. Instinct. He ran. **************** **************** "Wait!" Marrissa called, "Please!". She could hear the pleading in her voice. The guy stopped, and turned to her. Marrissa, gathering her courage, walked across the street towards him. After looking both ways 4 times of course. He looked about 17 years of age, with a squared off jaw, midnight black hair, and dark hazel eyes. With a closer look you could see the flecks of gold inside them. He was tall and broad shouldered and had on a plain black hoodie, the sleeves rolled up, revealing muscled arms. He had jeans and sneakers on also. Marrissa had noticed all this in the half a minute it took to cross the street. "Wait." She repeated, " What were you staring at me for? You know you c-." Then she recognized him. "You are the guy from the park." She said accusingly. The guy went pale, his tanned skin going lighter by a few shades. Then he quickly furrowed his eyebrows and crossed his arms, trying to look casual. "Um," He said, "I dunno what you''re talking about." His voice was husky, deep. "I know it was you. I saw you. With the sword. And don''t lie, its against the rules."said Marrissa, impatient. He just sighed, and grabbed her arm abruptly. His hand wasn''t rough, but it wasn''t gentle either. Marrissa was to surprised to resist. Finally she said, "Who are you?" The guy sighed, "Jonathon. And you are coming with me." "Why???" She said panicking. He tugged on her arm and started walking without an answer. "Hey! Let go of me! Why are you- let me go! Why do I need to come with you?!?!" He huffed in annoyance before answering. "Well, because of the Resistance."
