Tattoo

Kyra has been looking at the clock for an hour now. It was currently eleven o'clock and she had an hour left. The tattoo on her arm indicated that she only had one hour left to live. Everyone in the world had a similar tattoo telling them the date of when they will die. It just so happened Kyra’s time has come to an end, or at least she thought it was. She had been locked up in her room the whole time because she was scared of what would happen to her.

The clock finally hit twelve but her eyes were closed. She slightly opened one eye to take a peek and noticed it was one minute past twelve. Kyra wondered why she was still alive. The tattoo said today was her last day. She just kept staring at the clock wondering what would happen next. Everything stayed the same and she started getting more nervous.

“MOMMMMMMMM,” yelled Kyra. She ran out of her room and went downstairs to look for her mom. She was nowhere to be found. Kyra started freaking out.

“Oh my god am I dead,” asked Kyra. She ran outside to her best friend’s house and wanted to see if she was awake. Kyra rings the doorbell twice and doesn’t get an answer. She tries one more time and still nothing. Everything was starting to creep her out where was everyone, all the houses had their lights off and there weren’t any cars around. What if Kyra really did die, she just didn’t know it.

It is twelve thirty now and she walks back to her house when a car drives pass her and it is Kyra’s mother.

“Kyra is that really you,” asked her mother.

“Yes mom, I am super scared why am I still alive, this is starting to freak me out,” said Kyra.

“It is ok sweetie this is all part of the plan,” said Kyra’s mother.

“What do you mean, can someone just tell me what is going on, am I going to die or not,” said Kyra.

“Get in the car before they find us, hurry,” yelled her mother. Kyra quickly gets in the car and her mother drives off. Behind them is a black suburban going really fast.

“Mom why in the world are these people chasing us,” asked Kyra.

“I will explain later Kyra just stop asking so many questions and stay seated this is about to get dangerous,” said Kyra’s mother. Kyra looks through the back window and sees a man getting out the passenger window with a gun. He instantly starts shooting and Kyra starts screaming. Why was her mother involved in such a dangerous situation? Was she the reason she was still alive at the time?

“Mom can you please stop being so mysterious,” said Kyra. Her mother completely ignores her and keeps driving. Kyra wondered if her mother even had an idea on where she was supposed to be going. The evil people in the suburban kept shooting at them but they had horrible aim and her mother became an expert driver out of nowhere. Something was very odd here and it made her wonder what the hell was going on.

Kyra’s mother finally loses the guys in the suburban and parks into a random lot. She tells Kyra to get out of the car. Kyra gets out slowly but her mother yanks her arm making her get out faster.

“Hurry up Kyra, we are almost there,” said Kyra’s mother.

 They start running for a while and they finally arrive at their destination. It looked like a normal warehouse from the outside but when you went inside there was a lot of high tech security all over. Kyra’s mother shows the security guard her badge and he lets her go through. They get in an elevator that takes them downstairs when the elevator door opens Kyra sees a lot of people dressed as doctors. On the other side of the room there is a group of people with tape around the area where they have the tattoo from birth. What is this place thought Kyra. She looks around and realizes her mother isn’t there anymore. A doctor grabs Kyra and takes her to another room. He explains to her how her mother saves people from dying because she found a way to stop it and now the government wants to kill her. Kyra was the first one her mother saved and now she was in danger.
