The Crystal Lake University

Every night,starting 7 pm to midnight,my brothers would always call me to go to a racing.This is one of their daily routines and the most important one.At first,I thought I will enjoy watching them race with others.Those unique cars and motorcycles,those skilled racers,the huge racing area,but I was wrong.It was not just a normal racing that when you win,you will have a prize and if you lose,it will cause shame.What I’m saying is,in the racing we’re going to,it is about death against life that if you lose,you’re dead and that’s the scariest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.It’s either you kill yourself or the winner will decide your death.Luckily,my brothers never lost.They’re actually one of the best racers in this town.

They always include me in their foolishness because they really want me to see what they do and they want me to be just like them.Sometimes I just wish that I had never been born.They treat me as a man not as a woman who is incapable of doing what they do.Girls are weak.That’s what the Silvenia think about women.I don’t even know why they are wasting their time to teach and train me to be like them.I’m a girl.I’m a waste of time and that’s what my dad thinks of me.

Sounds funny right? I come from a family of gangsters and my grandfather is a mafia boss.My father hates me even if his blood runs into mine.He hated that I was born as a female. Silvenia doesn’t want to have any single daughter in their family. When one of the Silvenia has a daughter,they will hide this girl and force her to marry one of her brothers just to let her live.

They really wanted to kill me when they found out that I was a girl,but my brothers begged not to kill me.My father even suggested that I have to marry Russel, my twin brother, when I turn 18 for the sake of the family’s name,my brothers even argued with my dad and tell him that they will teach me to be just like them so dad won't do what he's thinking that's why they always call me to join them but I don't want to be like them. They kill people.

I want a change,but I can't do anything. I'm just a daughter. I have no rights in everything. Not even in the food I eat. I don't have freedom to decide for myself. I'm like a Silvenia's toy,a robot,doing what they want.

“Ehem!Seems like you're thinking of something”,suddenly someone touched me that got my attention and it’s obviously Rex that is seating in the driver’s seat while I'm the one who’s seated in the passenger's seat.He noticed that I became quiet since we arrived here. “Don’t tell me youre in love with one of the racers in this place?”,he wrinkled his forehead and looked at me straight in the eye, “I’m warning you Rilee,not with these people. They're bastards, demons and--”

“Like you?”,I asked.

I saw how his big smile suddenly faded when I said that.I didn’t mean to hurt him,but he’s referring to himself. Who am I not to say the truth? That’s what I’m seeing.I hope I have freedom in saying the truth.

I dropped out of his car and as usual,there’s a lot of people in this racing place.What’s new? Almost every night many students from different schools come here.They call this place HELL IN MOTION in other words the house of demons.

“Your twin is tired.Take her home.Let her rest for a while”,Rex said when he saw Russel approaching us.We are far from the crowd as my family don’t want me to be seen by others.

“Rilee,let me know if you want to go home, I will take you home”,Russel said.

“I’m fine.I will be okay’’,I replied.

“As usual.You always say that.What’s new? When will you ever say that you don’t like it anymore that you’re tired? When will you ever learn to fight for your own rights?”,Raze said while looking in my eyes with his scary eyes. I secretly rolled my eyes and luckily he didn’t notice it.

To us 5 siblings,Raze is the oldest one,he’s 22,next to him is Rouge,he’s 20,next to him is Rex,he’s 18 and Russel and I are the youngest,we’re 17 years old.

“Don’t mind him.Be more scared if I will be just like him.Let’s go”,Russel said.

We sat on the same seat where we always sat.It was reserved for the Silvenia.The opposite seat at the other side of the road was reserved for Silvenia's enemy,but I don't know who they are and I don't care.Silvenia is well known and very powerful after all.
