the secret society

The secret society

By: Amber Moore

Chapter one

          It was the sixth of May when the secret society took over. I was supposed to graduate that week but the society took control and shut down the schools. A few months after people were being pulled apart from their families and into sectors.

           There are four sectors. They call sector one the powerful. Sector two is the supernatural. Sector three and four is what made up of what was left of the human race.

       You see the sectors divide people based on who or what they are. I'm in sector one and my sister, Lizzy Ray was put into sector three. I have powers and they want me most of all. My powers are rated out of ten and I've reached the ten mark. ( we'll get into that later on, though.)

              The society trains the kids with powers how to control them and sometimes the better you got the more likely you are to disappear. The society has a logo that looks a lot like a circle with wire wrapped around it and a cross in the middle.

                 It's been a year since I was pulled out of my normal life and into the world of hell. I stick to myself because I know that I'll just end up hurting someone. The society will take me away soon, I just know it, but for right now I sit on my bed and listen to the music on my iPod. They let us keep them because, and these are their words not mine, " music is a way for kids to stay out of trouble and keeps them from bothering us."

        I'm sitting here thinking, ' I want to go back home, where Lizzy would be making pancakes for breakfast and telling me I need to get a boyfriend. I want to be back in my life where everything is normal.'

         I heave a big sigh at loss of hope and look over at the youngest of us girls who was laying in her bed asleep. She was the only one I can say I got attached to. I get up from the corner of my bed which is against the wall. I walk out of my flat white-walled room and into the leisure room they have a signed for the girl's dorm.

           It was quiet and abandoned. That's because no one wanted to be next to disappear but I didn't care because I know it's my time. In the leisure room was a brown leather couch and a flat screen TV that we use to see what's going on in the world. There's also a big red oak wood bookshelf. It had a lot of teen books, most are fiction. One of my favorites is Fallen by Lauren Kate.

             I look for it on one of the shelves I put it on the last time I read it and when I find it I pull it down. I go to the couch and start to read.

          I read for what felt like an hour. I shut the book when I see the uniformed guards and an officer in the doorway. I look up at them proudly and hold my head up high.

            The uniformed officer with jet black hair asks, " ms. Sara Ray?"

       I nod and get up to put the book back then go with them. The jet black haired officer put his left hand firmly on my shoulder as if I'd run and he needed to keep me next to him.

         The girl's dorm is mostly a bunch of halls and corridors. There are about two hundred girls here and the dorm rooms have four girls in each room, well accept me and Magen, so there is a total of fifty to sixty rooms. The dorm is a two-story building and my room is on the bottom floor with the leisure room and so it was easy to leave. Well, easy to leave if you were leaving with the guards and officers.

        Once we get outside the sun was shining brightly down on me, it was almost blinding. I started to feel the rough heat of it as they pushed me towards a red and black 2016 Mustang. One of the guards with chocolate brown eyes and light brown hair opens the back passenger side door and shoved me into the backseat. I sit there letting my mind drift but was in tune with my black haired officer. " Ms. Ray. We will be at our destination in about three hours. Why don't you try to get some sleep? You'll have a very big day ahead of you."

          So I closed my eyes and let my mind drift even farther into my subconscious and so I let my mind go dark and, than, blank.

~Dream ~

          I open my eyes to see a beach. I can feel the sand underneath my feet. I can smell the rushing ocean water. I can hear the sound of waves. Swush, swush, crash.

        It calmed all of my tense, panicked emotions. It was what I'd like to call home. I watch the waves as they went up and down and crashing against the shoreline. I hear the sound of seagulls above the waves.

          I don't know if this is real or not but I'll take what I can get. I don't care about the time at all. All I care about is this moment on this beach. It was the beach my father took me to when I was a little girl. This beach is the last place I went to with him before he died. I never knew my mother, she died in childbirth. I was two when she passed and my baby brother also died in the birth, at least what I was told.

       I walk around to find out why I was here. These dreams are part of my power. I can see my own future. The dreams tell me that something is going to happen and soon.

       Walking this beach knowing I had a good time with my parents and my sister here. My stepmother was a kind and caring women. When my father died she was devastated. She took care of us until my sister was old enough to take over. She still would visit us but kept her distance. Dad passing pushed her to the edge.

     "Sara, Sara." a voice shouted over the wind, then everything went black. 

Chapter 2

       I wake up in a dark room. I try to get up to find myself chained to the bed. I feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. I lay in the bed for an hour when an officer came and got me.

     He pulled me to a huge room with two thrones on a stage. In one of the thrones sits a guy my age. When I see the gold color of his eyes I know right away that he's a dragon shifter.

     I struggle against the officer's hold, scared for what's going to happen.

       The dragon-shifter smiles in amusement. " Sara, calm." His soothing voice made me stop struggling. " Sara, I am Gabriel Asher, your fiance. You are my bride. The next queen to the secret society."

      I was dumbfounded. I don't even know him and he's forcing me to be his bride. "No," I scream when I realize what being mated to a dragon intales.

      Dragons are dominant lovers. They like to be the ones to give orders. They will chain their mates to keep them from running.

        I start to fight more than before. I didn't notice Gabriel coming towards me.

        " No. This can't be happening!" I scream as he reaches for me. I struggle as he holds me to his chest.

         " Don't worry, my lovely angle. I'll take good care of you." He whispers into my ear.

       "Zack, Cole" He calls to the two that held me down in the beginning. They came running to him. He handed me to the one named Cole.

          "Take her to her room. I will speak with her later." was the last thing he said before he walked out of the room.

         I was dragged back to the room I was first put into. I was shaking as I was taken to the bed and set down there. The nice looking one, Zack, I think smiled at me and said, " try to rest, my lady." He smiled before turning and leaving with Cole.

         I try so hard to hold back the tears that threaten to fall but they start to rush out of me. All this year I have held back the pain and the heartache. Thoughts of death start to rush to my mind. I remember my best friend Daniel fighting with one of the guards and the next day he came back with his leg broken and his face beaten in. He was also the first to disappear in this sector.

-----Back flash----

       I was in the next truckload to be brought into sector one. The boy next to me was so calm. I turn and said, " how do you be so calm?"

      He smiles and says, " I listen to the sounds all around me and try to focus on the ones that matter and just listen. My names Daniel by the way."

        I smile back and say, " Sara Ray. I am from California. What about you?"

   He frowned and said, " me too."

     When the truck stopped at the sector gate we knew it was almost time to go. I knew we'd be separated from the boys and that the girls would soon have to share rooms. I, of course, didn't let that stop me from seeing Daniel. When it was time to go to the training room. They let us mingle with the boys and I'd talk to Daniel about everything. I would tell him about my father and then I'd talk about the day I was separated from my sister. We talked to each other about everything.

   The day he disappeared I knew I might never see him again.

-----back to present day----

I lay down on the bed and curl into a ball. I fall asleep in this position, crying. 

Chapter 3 

         I woke up to the sound of a girl calling my name. When I opened my eyes there was a girl maybe around six or seven years old. She had big doe like blue eyes and a cute heart shaped face. Her hair was a beautiful golden color. Her outfit resembles that of a princess. A nice long sleeved gown with a golden pattern on it. She opened her mouth as if to say something when I sat up but nothing came out because the door opens and in walks the dragon shifter. 

       "Fray, you know better then to be in my room. Didn't your dad scold you last time you were in your uncles room." The dragon shifter said to the beautiful young girl. 

         " yes, uncle Gabriel." She was looking down in shame as she walked out of the room but not before looking at me when she closed the door.  I have never seen a more cute little girl. Her eyes were beautiful. 

       Gabriel looked at me with a look of utter desire. He smiled as he walked closer to the bed. " I chose you because u were the strongest out of all the others . I have been watching you since the secret society started. You have a lot of spirit magic in your veins. Spirit magic is very rare.........  So rare in fact we thought people like you were extinct. Yet here you are right in front of me. I never thought  you could be my mate until I continued to watch you and visit you as you slept. " 

     He reached out his hand to stroke my cheek but I jerked back, scared like a frightened deer. He sighed ,tilted his head back and ran his fingers through his hair. I smiled at his frustration and felt like laughing but held it in. He took the chair ,that was in the corner beside the nightstand, and sat down with a sullen look. 

         He looked at me with his golden eyes. He opened and closed his mouth, like he wanted to say something but didn't know how. " I wanted your first night to be good so....... I had dinner to be prepared as your favorite meal. I know I forced this on you but I hope one day you can understand why I'm doing what I am doing. I got some clothes made for you. I had them put in the closet. Dinners at six o'clock sharp please don' t be late." 

     I stare at his back as he walks out thinking what the hell just happened. 

       I take a deep breath and get up and walk over to the closet and see a lot of clothes. I choose a short red and black sleeveless dress out of the fifty or more dresses in the closet. 

      I love the black and gold dress but I want to figure out what's going on first. I want to make an escape plan. I need to find my sister, so we can escape the sectors together. 

    I start with looking at where I am at. I look at the window and walk to it , to look out and to see that I am on the second floor of the building. Its going to be hard to get down to the ground......... 

      I looked around and thought of using the sheets as a rope to get down. I will do my plan to night. 

      I turn around to see a little girl hovering over by the door. I groan in frustration. Not again. Oh, yeah I forgot to mention I can see and hear ghosts. Lovely, right? Wrong! 

      I have to hear them cry and whine about how short their lives were. It's annoying. Don’t get me wrong I know How sad It is to die at such a young age. 

"Hey little girl, what do you need?" I ask, knowing it wanted something from me. 

She looked shocked. "You…….you can see me?" 

I rolled my eyes " of course I can see you." 

The girl  looked down and shuffled her feet. "My name is Zara…… I used to live here. I died in a car accident 20 years ago. I was seven, mommy." 

I jumped  at hearing her call me mommy. "what did you just call me?!" I say, scared
