• Clear Vision Chapter 1: The Beginning

    I was 10 years old when it all started. I lived in a little ranch in Kentucky. It was about 12:00 in the afternoon and i had just got out of school for the summer. My dad had just got out of the army and he was stil in his uniform. My mom took the day off work at the hospital to spend time with dad. We were in the kitchen eating sandwhichs and talking about our day. "Well my day went well. I'm away from that God for saken place in Iraq and I'm sitting with my loving family eating sandwiches. What else could I want?", my dad said. "Well my day was quiet boring. I had to clean the house and do all the laundry." my mom said. "Well mom thats why your so good at it." I said. Everyone laughed. "So son how was your day at school?" dad said. "Preety good, but this 7th grader wanted to fight me for my lunch money. I ran away as fast as i could and i got away from him and his goons." "Well thats good." my dad said. "It can be so strange how so lucky some people can be." my mom said while smiling. Then at that moment a black van drove up to our house really fast and parked on the other side of the road. My dad got up and looked out the window. "Who is it David?" mom said to my dad. My dad's face got pale. "Oh my God thats impossible!" He turns to my mom and says,"Mary take Alex to hes room and hide now!" "Okay. Come on sweety." "Whats going on mom?" My dad digs through hes army backpack and pulls out a 9mm pistol and loads it. My mom and I are in the room. "Alex I need you to hide in the closet and no matter what happenes i want you to stay quiet and don't move okay hun?" My mom was getting frantic. "Okay mom." My eyes were getting watery but i tried not to cry. I get in the closet and i shut the door. The door to the room was still a little open and i could see into the kitchen and i could see my dad pointing his gun at the front door. The door burst open and three men come in the room. There was two men in uniform wearing helmets and were holding AK47's. The middle man had normal clothes but wore a buret and he was holding a magnum. My dad fires three times and kills one of the guys with helmets. The other hits him with the butt of his gun. My dad colapses onto the ground and the soldier walks past him. The other man walks up to my dad still on the ground and points his gun at him. My dad made a wierd noise then the man shot him. I was terrified but i didn't make a noise. The buret guy then said to his other. "Search the house! There must be others!" Im still looking at them going into other rooms closeing onto the one im in. I hear a loud thud comeing from the other side of the room. It was my mom trying to open a window for escape but failed. The men were in the room in secounds. My mom turns around and pulls out a knife. I didn't even realize she got one. She yells and charges at the man with the buret. He grabs her arm that had the knife then shot her stomach. She falls to her knees and the man lets go of her arm and lets it flop onto the ground. She looks up at the man then he puts the gun up to her head pressing on her forhead. The man asks, "Is there anybody in the house a child perhaps?" My mom doesn't say anything. "Oh well then have it your way." He shots her and she falls face down. I gasp when i shot but they didn't realize. They started walking away but my emotions got the better of me and i started crying. The buret man heard me and walked up to the closet door. He opens it and i see hes face. There wasen't anything special about his face just that he had a red left eye. He smiles. "You will be perfect." Before i could run away he hits me with his gun and i fall unconsious. When i came to i was wearing rags for clothes and i was in a large cell with 10 other kids the same age as me. "Your awake." One kid said to me. "Where am i?" "I don't know. Whats your name?" "Alex. Whats yours?" "Bill. So did they do it to you?" "What?" "Kill your parents." "Oh.....yeah." My eyes started to water again but i wiped them away before Bill noticed. "Yeah mine to. So were do you live? I was in Hawaii when they took me." "Kentucky." Bill was about to say something else but an intercome went off. "Hello my children. How is your day been so far?" "Were are we and what are going to do to us!?" Bill yelled at the intercome. "You are in a secret prison were I take all you children and train you to be hitmen." "What makes you think well do what you want!" Another kid said with a Russain acsent. "Well the answer to that question is if you don't do what I say....you die. How is that for an answer?" "Your sick!" Bill said. "Maybe. Anyway you will be doing grueling training to be the best hitmen the world have ever seen. You will be staying here for 15 years. You survive you wil be giving a new life and a new place to live. Good luck and welcome to Hell." The intercome goes off and training started. 15 years had past and is was now 25 and the most deadliest thing in the world. Out of 10 kids there were now 5. There names were Jack from Australia, Spolatch from Russia, Serena from Brazil, Bill from Hawaii, and me. The intercome goes off again. "Congrats survivors! You have survived the most demeanding training we could offer. You will be given new clothes and you will be directed to a specific limo were you will be droven to your new house." A door opens that we didn't even realize ths whole time was there. We walk through it and im sent to limo 5. I get in it and i say good bye to my good friend Bill. The limo starts driving and the insides of the car windows were tinted so i couldn't see where we were going. The drive took about a couple of days. When we finally stoped the last time the driver opens a window and looks at me. "This is where you get off to your new home." "Thanks i guess." as i open the door he says. "Good luck out there!" he throws me the keys to the house. I shut the car door and he drives off. The house was in some suburb area. I walk to the door and i open the door to start my new life.
