My head bangs against the train wall I am leaning on. Only a tiny shimmer of light is getting in here, but enough to see the dust, which covers every tiny spot.

I can hear my friend Heather breathing heavily next to me and the others coughing, when dust comes into their lungs.

Twelve kids are in a wagon, all chained at the walls of the train, driving to the Factory. We all look the same, shaved head, black shirt and trousers, magnetic shoes. And the white neck ring, of course.

As every day, I don't know how long we are driving. Sixteen years of doing this every day and I never finished counting the minutes. After more than twenty, I always gave up.

We are not allowed to talk to the other passengers and who tries to say a word is getting knocked out by the guards and the substances in our neck rings. They have an unlimited number of shots to give, that knock you out for thirty minutes and gives you horrible headache when you wake up again.

Our guards can control our neck rings with their holograms and are able to shoot us all down within seconds.

Don't lean up against the guards or rules. Thats the only thing that matters here.

The train stops ruggedly and i can feel someones shoulder stabbing in my stomach. But even though it hurts, I don't say anything, neither the other person does.

With a very loud snap, the door of our wagon is opened by one of the uniformed guards.

He turns around to yell the order to one of the coordinators to open the chains. I can't feel my arms anymore and when they are finally free from the chains and I am able to stand up, it feels like blood has been waiting to flow back into my arms and legs.

When we leave the train wagon, the guards shove and push us to the metal platforms. When our shoes are plugged into another pair of chains, the platforms with the people are starting to move into the Factory.

The "Factory" isn't a real factory. It's more of a big room, with a big metal ball in the middle. Everything else is made out of some kind of isolator, which looks like plastic or some kind of rubber.

I mean, the name factory is not completely unreasoned. They use us to produce. The "electric childs". Thats what we get called.

"POWER!" The order is yelled as soon as we stand at our spots.

It looks like all of us were just one person. A whole train full of kids, I don't know how many dozens of people, are all lifting their hands until all of the hand insides are pointing at the enormous metal ball.

The pressure inside me is increasing, until i can barely stand straight anymore.

And than I let it out.

In the same second, the whole room is covered in extremely bright light. The energy around me is nearly visible, and my whole body vibrates.

It looks like we created a new sun, the metal ball glows in an unrealistic white colour.

In less than 30 seconds, the whole ball is melted up. The melted metal is replaced from another metal ball, which we melt again.

The whole process takes one hour. One hour of melting metal for other Factory's to use.

And that is the only reason why i am alive right now. This is my only purpose.

The bus station is full of people. I don't have any overview over the situation, but I don't care. The steady stream of People is carrying me inside the right bus. I trust that system every morning, nothing ever happened to me and I never got into the wrong one.

Inside the Bus it's less crowded. Not all of the seats are taken, but I prefer standing over sitting. With one hand, I reach into my pocket and grab my headphones. I put both of them into my ears, close my eyes and sink into the music. Seven stops until I have to get of the bus, enough time for me to totally sink into daydreams.

It feels like it has only been a second, when the Bus is slowly coming to hold at my Station and I blink into the Sunlight which is falling trough one of the Windows. All of the other Passengers that go to my school get of quickly and so do I. We are not a lot of people, getting of the Bus. With a groan I put back my headphones into my Jacket.

It's a clear, cold morning and as I walk into the school building, I really enjoy the warm air which is coming trough the door in a welcoming wave, as I open it.

I am very early today, most of the other Students are still in their classes. Biology is my first lesson, so I go to my locker and grab the materials I need. It still feels like I am the only person in this Building, but it will not take longer than five minutes until the rest of my class shows up.

The labs, where we have Biology are on the third floor and there are a lot of stairs in between it and me. I sigh when I look upwards and climb the first stairs.

Than I suddenly feel someones arm laying over my shoulder. With one foot on the next stair, I loose my balance and tumble down the first two stairs again.

I would have fallen, but I get caught. "I didn't meant to throw you down the stairs Eve." As I stand on my own feet again, I turn around very quickly and find myself Eye to Eye with a red haired, green eyed boy. Caspar. He is grinning at me and I relax a bit.

"Well, you did bestie. But its okay, at least you caught me when I fell." I start grinning too. Caspar is my best friend, since more years than I can count. With his charming character and his soft hart, I fell for him the minute I talked to him the first time.

"Shame on me if I wouldn't have caught you! Are you on your way to Biology?"

"Yes I am. Do you need to get to your locker first or do you have your Materials?"

"I am all ready and prepared! Lets climb the stairs together and try to not fall this time."

I laugh, put my arm around his waist and he puts his arm over my shoulder.

Life is good.

Its a Harry Potter FanFic in German and my first ever written story on Wattpad. Its called Moongirl and I would be so happy if you maybe take a look at it.
