Breaking Infinity Chapter 1

There she was. Her golden hair gently resting over her porcelain cheeks. Her piercing green eyes staring into mine. The helplessness I feel. It’s unbearable. It’s her fault. I hate her. I hate her for stumbling into my life, ripping the innocence out of me and forcing me to fall in love with her. Everything she is…or was…was perfect. I had met her almost three years prior to now. Her mother rescued her from Infinity to join us. She had quickly adjusted into our lifestyle. Casual clothing, tents for housing, and of course the Aspectu. Quite a simple procedure, a quick injection into the iris and it’s done. Quite painless in fact. Turning her eyes a forest green like the rest of us. It allows us to see codes and markings made by fellow rebel groups while on missions. The green eyes are also a symbol of the rebellion. Throughout the years Infinity has eradicated all green-eyed citizens. She handled the adjustment well. It usually takes an individuals mind some time to understand what it is looking at. I hadn’t spoken a word to her until the third night after her arrival. It was the middle of the night when she had shown up in my tent half naked and sitting at the edge of my bed. She held a knife in her hand and yelled at me to wake up. “Holy Frick! You have to be in your own tent. It’s past curfew.” I whisper. She laughed at me. “Who cares about curfew?” she says while scraping the edge of the knife gently across her thumb. “I’m bored. What’s there to do around here in this shit hole anyway?” she asks. I am a little dumbfounded. “Um…Well…Once a week we go swimming down past the field.” I say hesitantly. She smirks. “What’s your name?” she asks pointing the knife in my direction. She lets her hair out of the messy bun it was in before. It falls down to just below her shoulders. “Oscar. Oscar Reiner.” I hold out my hand. She pushes it aside with the knife. “Oscar?” she sounds unimpressed. She bites her lip and glares at me. “No.” she blurts out. “No?” I say. She shakes her head. “No. I don’t like it. How about Oz? A little bit better doncha think?” she raises one eyebrow. “Um, well-“ “shhh!” she holds her finger to her lips and pauses. There’s a voice outside the tent. It’s Mars Juniper, Vice president of our rebellion. “Is she willing to do this? We can’t force her.” He says. “She’s going to do this. There is no one else.” It’s Leara Larkin, our President. “It’s my mother.” She said. Her voice sounding so fragile. It seemed so unnatural coming from her mouth. “Leara we can’t do it without him either.” Mars adds. “Your son is not my top priority right now Mars. He is hardly ready either.” She spits out. Graesen Juniper. Excellent in long-range archery, throwing knives, and hand to hand combat. Not to mention in gun skills. He has dark red hair and freckles covering the top of his nose. Red heads are banished or killed when born into Infinity. He was lucky and left for the wolves out of city lines. Mars found him and raised him. Leara is wrong to think he isn’t ready for anything in particular. He seems perfectly qualified in many ways. “My Son is ready. I’ve raised him in preparation for this moment and he will preform no less than valiantly.” Mars yells. “You better hope to god that you are right.” They walk away. She gets up and walks out of my tent. I sit there staring at the door. Where she left. “You coming?” she asks. I hop out of bed. What are you doing? I ask myself. This is against everything you have ever believed. Curfew exists for a reason. I get out the door. “Lead the way.” She says. “Where?” I ask. “You’re taking me swimming.” She holds the knife pointed directly at my throat. I stare at it. “Now?” I say. “Now.” She replies. She holds the knife high in the air and recoils it back before precisely throwing it into a beam of a nearby tent. Perfectly stuck into the wooden pole it sits there. We walk carefully down the path and into the forest. She grabs my hand. I lead her to the field and she starts running until she gets to the center of it. She flops to the ground. I run over and kneel beside her. She is looking at the stars. “Mother Eve never let me see the stars.” She pushes me to the ground and I lie on my back beside her. “She said stars are for dreamers.” She say’s ‘dreamers’ as if it was a curse word. “What’s wrong with that?” I ask. She looks at me with a serious face. “Dreamers are what break a society. In order to succeed, we must destroy them. Words straight from Mother Eve.” She gets quiet. I stare into the sky. The cold grass tickles the back of my neck. “You call her Mother Eve.” I whisper. “She requests it.” She says. “Why do you still?” she pauses and looks at the stars. “Do you see that star right there.” She points up. I say yes though I’m not to sure which one she means. “If my whole life I only had seen that star, only had known that star, only respected that star. Would my love for that star change if I found a new one?” I can’t think of the words to respond. “Leara is my biological mother. She took me back and I want to be here. But Eve raised me. She will never not be my mother.” She gets up and starts walking. I lead her in the right direction and we reach the cliff. “You have to jump.” I tell her. I look down. Nothing but darkness to be seen. She steps to the edge. Her toes hang over the edge. She turns to face me. “It’s Dark” she says. “Are you afraid?” I ask her. She takes a second to ponder. “Serenity James. That’s who I am in Infinity. She would be afraid.” She says. “Who are you here?” I ask. She smiles a crooked little smile. It’s beautiful in the moonlight. “Wren Larkin. She’s not afraid.” Wren spreads her arms out wide and looks up. She’s like a bird in stance, about to fly. Then she drops backwards, disappearing into the darkness. I here a splash at the bottom and then she yells. “Come on down Oz! The waters great!” I walk to the edge of the cliff and look down. Nothing but darkness. I strip down and toss my clothes to the side and dive into the dark. We swam until the sun began to rise and snuck back to our tents. We slept until breakfast and never got caught. We swam almost every night in the summers. It seemed like it was us against the world. I grew my hair out a little longer and Wren “Fixed” my clothes for me to look “edgier”. Her Words not mine. We spent our entire days together. One year after we met I had made her a necklace. A bird with an infinity symbol in it’s clutch. She wore it everyday. It represented her rebel self as Wren, like the bird, and the part of her she wanted to hold onto in the infinity. A few months later she had broken part of the infinity symbol. She said it was better that way. Leara had made that the symbol of our rebellion. Wren and I were practically inseparable She had other friends to though. Jaccelle was really close to her. Dark in skin and a shaved head. She was quite stunning herself . She often would join us and we would be off doing our own thing. The Graesen started hanging around Wren. I never liked him. He was always one of those cocky pretty boys but Wren seemed to enjoy his presence. I put up with him for her sake. So then a year after she came into my life us two had turned into us four only this time We were together. I loved her more than anyone else. I never thought I could feel like this. She became my motivation to wake up in the morning. The reason I took each breath. I know she loved me too. I seemed to be the only one she could trust. Leara wouldn’t let her talk about Infinity. But She told me everything. She talked about Eve and her servants whom she was quite fond of. She talked about how the schools aim to brainwash citizens. She talked about the release. She also talked about the good things. Everyone was always well fed. Healthcare was beyond excellent and families could truly thrive in Infinity. But The cons outweighed the pro’s. Infinity is still wrong and there needs to be change. “ don’t need the Rebellion, I sure as hell don’t need Infinity, as long as I have the stars and a dreamer like you by my side.” She told me. Graesen became jealous. He fell madly in love with her. How could you not? It was when she started to want to go into the city when it became a problem. “I will not sit here another day without our rebellion getting recognized. If more people knew about it than we could start getting somewhere..” Wren says. Her voice powered by conviction. I look at her eyes. They are practically glowing in the moonlight. “If we leave now, we can make it there and back before the sun starts to rise. Oz, I need you to do this with me.” she kissed my lips. Her’s like fire on my icy skin. The last time I kissed her. I drew back and walked across the room. “Wren please. The Videos are doing fine. People will see us. She will see you.” She walks to the door and looks at me. Her eyes stare into mine. “Fine.” I say and follow her out. We move quickly. She brought a bag of assorted things that could help get into the city. Graesen and Jaccelle both came as well. Graesen standing awful close to Wren the whole time. Jaccelle and I trailed behind a little bit. “She’s crazy.” Jaccelle says to me. I laugh. “It’s a good kind of crazy.” I say. Now this time she laughs. “Keep telling yourself that. She truly does love you. Anything she says to me anymore is about you.” I look at Her but her head remains forward. “I’m the Lucky one.” I say under my breath. Jaccelle looks at Graesen. “She thinks you’re jealous. I can’t blame her. I would be Jealous as well if she was mine.” Jaccelle adds. “I’m not worried. If Graesen tried anything she would beat his ass down in a heartbeat.” Wren stops and turns around. “We’re almost here. Are you sure you want to go through with this? I know what I said before but I don’t want to make you do anything you don’t want to.” She stares at me. “Yeah Oscar, ya scared?” Graesen adds. “I’m not scared.” I say. I start walking forward and purposefully bump into Graesen. “You don’t have to be such an asshole.” Wren yells. She catches up beside me. “The same goes for him.” I say. “This isn’t about Grae. I want you to support me. You clearly are only doing this because he’s here.” she spits out. “I’m here because I want you to be safe. Not because some pretty boy is gawking over you.” I tell her. “Maybe you should just go.” She tells me. I stare at her in the eye. “Is that what you want?” I ask. She shakes her head. “Of course not. I’m over reacting. It’s just around the corner.” We get to the gate rather quickly. There’s few guards. Wren tosses a rock over the fence and out of our way. The alarm goes off and the guards run towards where the rock was thrown. Graesen put’s a silencer on his gun and shoots the security camera. We quickly climb the gate and carefully follow Wren through the city. After about an hour of walking we reach city hall. Wren Pauses and looks at the building. “This is where I lived.” Her voice is so broken. Fragile almost. “Thank god you left this shithole. I’d fucking kill myself before living here.” Graesen laughs. Wren’s eyes are watering. I put my arms around her waist. “I’m sure she misses you too.” I whisper into her ear. “I’d rather her hate me. It’s easier that way.” She breaks my hold and walks to the stark white wall. Everything is silver and white in the city. Down to the clothes they wear. Wren pulls out a few cans of spray paint and paints a picture of a broken infinity sign with a bird holding it in it’s clutch. She Codes our names and the date into and Aspectu chip and places it on the wall. The chips small enough where the average person wouldn’t be able to see it but the message appears large and clear spread out on the wall. Genious in my opinion. Soon the names are clear in our minds. “Did you bring the letter?” I ask her. She nods and pulls out the letter. She had been wanting to give it to Eve for a long time but as been afraid. “You can’t speak to her! She mustn’t hear from you. It would ruin everything!” Jaccelle screams. But as she says that an alarm goes off. Guards come running in from every direction. Jaccelle Quickly dashes and slips into the sewer. She’s small enough to fit through the small space. I run towards one exit but soon get tackled and injected with something. It paralyzes me. I try to scream for Wren but nothing comes out but a moan. Wren Runs the opposite direction I ran at first but once I go down she runs towards me. She pulls out her taser wand and starts stabbing at guards. Graesen climbs the building and sit’s on top of it hiding from view. Wren get’s disarmed and held down they inject her with what I assume is the same as mine. I want to call out for her so badly. Graesen looks at his gun and then at Wren. I thought he would shoot the guards. I would have. He bolts instead. Wren and I are dragged off inside the building and thrown into some sort of cells. There’s a small window in each of them. By the time the sun rises we have almost full movement back. “I’m sorry.” Is all she could say. She just kept repeating it. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” I keep telling her to stop but she ignores me. The door opens in the room. It’s her. Eve James. President of Infinity. “Serenity darling. You came back for me.” She says walking up to Wren’s cell. “Yes Mother Eve. I missed you. I was going to leave you this note. It said that I was okay and you shouldn’t worry for me.” Wren’s voice is different. Changed. Not her. This Was Serenity James, the respectable daughter of the president. Not Wren Larkin the badass symbol of the rebellion. “Mother Eve I would like you to meet Oz-Oscar Reiner. He is my partner.” She sounded so official. Eve Looks at me. I glare at her. “Not quite suited for Infinity but we could change that.” she examines my every inch carefully. “No! I apologize. I meant to say I would appreciate if you would allow him to leave.” Wren is almost in tears. “Now what would I receive in return for his freedom?” Eve asked. Wren paused. She looks at me directly. “I will stay here with you. I will retreat from the rebellion and make them appear as laughing stocks. Nothing but silly little dreamers.” She holds back tears. “Wren…” I say. She shakes her head. “I can not allow him to leave. But it so happens that tonight the guards will not be on duty.” Even opens Wren’s cell and leads her out. She drops a ring onto the ground within my reach. “Come along now Serenity. There is a lot to discuss.” I stare at her. She looks at me and she looks so frightened. I Hate her for letting me go. Now in this moment. I hate how much I love her. I hate what she means to me. I reach out for the ring. It has a some sort of chip in it. I tap it against the cell door. It opens. I close it again. I wait until sunset to leave. I walk down the hallway. Wren has left an Aspectu note for me on the wall. “So much for starry nights…” she wrote. On the ground is Wrens bag of things. I take it. When I leave the building everything is still and silent. I leave notes for wren everywhere I could. I must have been out there all night writing before I left. I took Eve’s ring with me. Gave it to Mars and Leara. “We have to go back and save her.” I beg. “We have to leave her there. They will expect us to go get her. She’s treated like royalty there anyway.” Mars responds. I’m practically crying. “I can’t let her go like that. Leara please.” Leara shakes her head. “We will get her back when she needs to be back. For now you need to forget about her.” Leara demands. “She’s all that I have left.” I say. The room was silent.
