When I arrived I noticed that people were divided into 2 groups, I was in group B which I thought was great because there were most of the people who were with me, but for no reason I was intrigued during the whole time I was in line, while waiting to be disinfected. Rumors said that many people's requests for access were denied but to my surprise there were no people waiting outside, apparently they were going to give us all entry without further complication. So with the excuse of going to the bathroom for a while, I let one of my companions take care of my post. Then I could explore that place which seemed to be perfect and harmonious, but something strange would catch my attention.
While I was looking for the reason for my curiosity, I saw something that left me horrified. Part A was composed of people suspected of being sick with the virus, I knew it as I sniffed around without being seen, managing to get a privileged view of what seemed to be an extermination camp. The nightmare was just beginning.
When I wanted to turn back hands as big as my desperation grabbed me from my shoulders and knocked me to the ground. My face was covered with a black cover and I resigned myself to the fact that I was not going to escape the fate that awaited me, whatever it was.
Al llegar not茅 que la gente estaba dividida en 2 grupos, a m铆 me toc贸 el grupo B lo cual me pareci贸 genial porque all铆 estaban la mayor铆a de los que me acompa帽aban, pero sin raz贸n alguna me mantuve intrigado durante todo el tiempo que estuve en la fila, mientras esperaba a ser desinfectado. Los rumores dec铆an que las solicitudes de acceso de muchas personas eran denegadas pero para mi sorpresa no hab铆a gente esperando afuera, al parecer nos iban a dar entrada a todos sin mayor complicaci贸n. As铆 que con la excusa de ir un rato al ba帽o, dej茅 que uno de mis compa帽eros cuidara de mi puesto. Entonces pude explorar aquel lugar el cual parec铆a ser perfecto y armonioso, pero algo extra帽o captar铆a mi atenci贸n.
Mientras buscaba el motivo de mi curiosidad, vi algo que me dej贸 horrorizado. La parte A estaba compuesta por personas sospechosas de estar enfermas con el virus, lo supe mientras husmeaba sin ser visto, logrando obtener una vista privilegiada del que parec铆a ser un campo de exterminio. La pesadilla apenas comenzaba.
Cuando quise regresar unas manos tan grandes como mi desesperaci贸n me tomaron desde los hombros y me tiraron de un golpe al suelo. Mi rostro fue cubierto con una funda negra y yo me resigne a que no iba a escapar del destino que me esperaba cualquiera que fuera.
Suddenly images of my whole life flooded my mind and I remembered the bunker, its people, the world I longed for, the animals I never knew, the normalcy I might never get and I cried my eyes out, so much so that my eyes hurt. As they carried me away, I noticed how the hustle and bustle of the people disappeared. Where were they taking me? Maybe to one of those extermination camps or worse, back to the darkness.
Suddenly the footsteps stopped and an intense smell of wood flooded my sense of smell. Finally I understood, the place that I thought was going to be my salvation turned out to be my doom and to top it off I had been kidnapped by strangers. When they arrived they discovered my face and I swear that I had never in my life felt so perplexed as I did on that occasion.
Before my eyes was the woman who had given me life, totally changed and dressed as a security guard of The Peak. For years I thought I was alone in the world after my parents left with the promise of someday returning in search of a better future and that they would never come back for me. So what was that all about? Why did they do that to people who were waiting with so much hope?
But my mother was not the one who was going to answer those questions, they had rescued me and that was what mattered. In that city a new order had been established, where only the rich and their trusted people survived, now my greatest fear was what was the fate of the people in group B? the answer would leave me devastated.
De repente im谩genes de toda mi vida inundaron mi mente y record茅 el b煤nker, a su gente, al mundo que anhele, a los animales que no conoc铆, a la normalidad que quiz谩s nunca obtendr铆a y llor茅 hasta el cansancio, tanto que me dol铆an los ojos. Mientras me llevaban, notaba como el bullicio de la gente desaparec铆a. 驴A d贸nde me llevaban? Quiz谩s a uno de esos campos de exterminio o peor a煤n, me regresar铆an a las penumbras.
De repente los pasos se detuvieron y un intenso olor a madera inund贸 mi olfato. Finalmente lo entend铆, el sitio que cre铆 iba a ser mi salvaci贸n result贸 ser mi perdici贸n y por si fuera poco hab铆a sido raptado por desconocidos. Al llegar descubrieron mi rostro y les juro que nunca en mi vida me hab铆a sentido tan perplejo como en aquella oportunidad.
Ante mis ojos estaba la mujer que me hab铆a dado la vida, totalmente cambiada y vestida de guardia de seguridad de La C煤spide. Al instante sent铆 una enorme desaz贸n, por a帽os pens茅 que estaba solo en el mundo despu茅s de que mis padres se fueron con la promesa de alg煤n d铆a regresar en busca de un mejor futuro y de que nunca volvieran por m铆. 驴Entonces que era todo aquello? 驴Por qu茅 les hac铆an eso a las personas que esperaban con tanta esperanza?
Pero mi mam谩 no era la que iba a responder aquellas preguntas, me hab铆an rescatado y eso era lo que importaba. En aquella ciudad se hab铆a instaurado un nuevo orden, en donde solo sobreviv铆an los ricos y sus personas de confianza ahora mi mayor temor era 驴cu谩l era el destino de las personas del grupo B? la respuesta me dejar铆a devastado.
The people of group B suffered the effects of savage experiments. Among the youngest, the healthiest were chosen and turned into creatures controlled by a chip that prevented them from having reasoning. The fate that awaited my companions was worse than dying, my greatest frustration was that most of the people I had survived with would be machines controlled by self-loving beings.
I finally realized that my destiny was not to be protected by a shitty city that in no way represented what it meant to be human. My destiny was to destroy that place and for that I would need allies. My mom was part of a segment of the Peak's security that did not agree with the way the elite that ruled the city acted, so they began to build an army in secret for a future rebellion.
I was hidden in a place near the security fence from where I could see the illusions that came illusioned with a possible better life at the Peak. I tried several times to convince some of them not to enter, but all my attempts were unsuccessful, that generated an intense impotence in me, but nobody was going to make me give up, I had to gather as many people as I could.
Mistrust reigned in the world, no one trusted anyone and it was impossible for me to get anyone's attention until Lucy came into my life. Lucy was a girl about my age whom I managed to convince to join our rebel army, little by little many more people would arrive and we would begin to forge the most ambitious plan of conquest since the discovery of what was once the American continent. The End of the Peak was about to begin.
La gente del grupo B, sufr铆an los efectos de salvajes experimentos. Entre los m谩s j贸venes escog铆an a los m谩s sanos y los convert铆an en criaturas controladas por un chip que imped铆a tener raciocinio. El destino que le esperaba a mis compa帽eros era peor que morir, mi mayor frustraci贸n era que la mayor铆a de las personas con la que hab铆a sobrevivido ser铆an m谩quinas controladas por seres amadores de s铆 mismos.
Finalmente me di cuenta que mi destino no era estar protegido por una ciudad de mierda que no representaba de ning煤n modo lo que significaba un ser humano. Mi destino era destruir a aquel lugar y para eso necesitar铆a aliados. Mi mam谩 formaba parte de un segmento de la seguridad de La C煤spide, que no estaba de acuerdo con la manera de actuar de la 茅lite que gobernaba la ciudad, as铆 que comenzaron a armar un ej茅rcito a escondidas para una futura rebeli贸n.
A m铆 me escondieron en un lugar cercano a las inmediaciones de la valla de seguridad desde donde pod铆a divisar a los ilusos que llegaban ilusionados con una posible mejor vida a La C煤spide. Trate varias veces de convencer a varios de no entrar, pero todos mis intentos fueron infructuosos, eso me gener贸 una intensa impotencia pero nadie me iba a ser desistir, ten铆a que reunir a la mayor cantidad de personas que pudiera.
En el mundo reinaba la desconfianza, nadie confiaba en nadie y me fue imposible captar la atenci贸n de alguien hasta que Lucy lleg贸 a mi vida. Lucy era una chica de m谩s o menos mi edad a la que logre convencer de unirse a nuestro ej茅rcito rebelde, poco a poco llegar铆an muchas m谩s personas y comenzar铆amos a fraguar el plan de conquista m谩s ambicioso desde el descubrimiento de lo que una vez fue el continente americano. El Final de la C煤spide estaba por comenzar.
