Above All Else

Hi people of wattpad. It's hghp here, and i would love if you guys would read my first story on here. It's really good,i promise. So just read and enjoy. Peace, love, and hair grease!!!!

Chapter 1

My name is Sara, but everyone calls me S. That may be because no one knows my real name. I don't tell anyone. I can't trust anyone, because I am wanted by my country. I'm not a dangerous person, but I will fight to stay alive. I am untraceable, unstoppable. My life has always been on the line, but I make sure it doesn't fall off. I've always been careful, but now, everything will change.

"S," whispers True, my friend. She is the only person I even remotely trust. I found her one time when I was pulling one of my heists. She was staring at me in awe, possibly because I had scaled a ten- story building in thirty seconds and made it back down in half that time. Not my best, but i guess it was still pretty impressive.

" What is it, True?" I ask, annoyed by being awakened before sunrise.

" Scouters," she answers.

My heart behind to race, and i begin bombarding her with questions. Where? How many? Do we have time to run?

"They're on the next few streets, scouting for orphans." She shivers. True wasn't an orphan, but she had run away from home when she was seven, three years ago, so she was considered the same to the Scouters. Scouters patrolled the streets for orphans, and then sent them to orphanages where they were beaten and abused. I knew because I had been in one, until I escaped. That was two years ago, when I was twelve. After,I vowed I would never again return. I've lived on the streets ever since, and I've been providing for myself by stealing.

"I think we can run back to one of the streets they've already checked," I pondered.

"I don't think so,S," True replied, her voice shaking. "There's four patrol squads out."

I cursed inwardly. That's 12 Scouters. One squad, maybe even two, we could have snuck around, but four, not so much. We had only one option, but i was reluctant to use it, because True wasn't nearly as good a climber as I was, but then again, we had no choice. I grabbed my backpack.

"I have an idea," I told True, "but you're not going to like it."

So? What did you guys think? I hope you guys like reading it as much as i like writing it!!!! Remember, vote, share, and comment if you want changes or notice anything off. Deuces!!!!!!
