Most people fear what they can't see or understand. I don't. People call me crazy but I call myself brave. One day I got a letter.

**Dear Shade,**

Camp death? I signed without thinking. But I knew this was more than a silly camp.

On the first day, I met the agent Fortune. “Um… hi?” I said slowly. “Hello, Miss Shade,” she said still in a guard-like position. Then a girl- about 10 years old- walked into the room. She wore a tiger mask and had gold hair with black ends. Fortune and I bowed. “Shade,” the figure said. “Do you choose to fear the darkness or seek it, do you choose death or life?” Again I don't think. “I seek this darkness and I choose death I swear on all things I care about,” I pledge. And I regret it. When I saw Jade I regretted everything. Now we have to escape. Or else there will be no AI takeover. Because there won't be a world left for it.

Authors note- I may make a part 2 if y'all want me to. Tell me in the comments if you do and have a good day/night!
