Bum bum. Bum bum. Bum bum. I took what was probably the deepest breath of my life. Then promptly started to cough on that breath. Woah. This headache, and my body feels really heavy. Thank god I'm back at winter. Looks like my room too.
"Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in (Oh oh oh oh)
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in (Oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (Oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside (Oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger."
The whole song I heard the unmistakable slam bang bang of fists on a punching bag. He was doing the basic pattern. I needed to see Lucas. He was gon- BAM! Nevermind he already broke the chain.
I sat up and shakily started to put on my armor. I only got to the pants before I decided my body couldn't take the full weight of the armor. Pulling on one of my trusted purple Maine shirts before going to the door. Wait. Gun. Check the clip. 9 bullets. Works for me. I snatched one more clip before finally going. Just to be safe.
Rounding the corner I found Lucas leaning on the wall talking to Claire. He looked up and saw me. He breathed out one name.
"Annie."

The Peacekeeper
ActionI willed myself to show no interest even though my heart pounded wildly at the thought of joining the Peace Corps. "Oh yeah?" I whispered, not daring to disturb the people around us. "Tell me about it." The older man pulled a pamphlet out of his su...
