My other book died off so here is my latest. (caution this novel contains violence, please comment to support and so others will read) Enjoy.

_________________________"Utopia"_____________________________________chapter 1__
    I was in the market that day, when I heard it start. At first I didn't understand anything they said then something clicked. The revolution is beginning. I was only 10 that day, and I'm from a rich family. My mother always sent me to buy fruit from the slums, she said it was freshest when you bought it there. I went every Tuesday and always bought it from my best-friend's mom. They lived in a small apartment like building in the corner of the slums. They we're the friendliest family i had ever met. My best-friend, Julian, was a messenger in the slums and I knew he planned on helping the revolution. I took him home with me that day, I promised his mother I would. My mother understood as well, she liked Julian, she believed he had lots of potential. My father hated Julian, he hated anyone and anything from the slums. He moved out the day Julian came home with me. From my house we could hear the first shots being fired.
"Do you think it will last?" I asked Julian.
"No, we only have hope in our fight. Half of the men don't even have guns."
"Oh, you know I would help the revolution if I was old enough."
"Me too."

(5 years later)

The revolution was diminished. Everyone in the slums had the look of defeat in their eyes. I was with Julian buying fruit from his mom. Something seemed, off about her. She wasn't as joyful she was last week. Julian looked at her and said "Mom? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Julian, you guys shouldn't have come today."
"Why?" I asked.
"Its starting, and this time we will win. Have a good day! Hurry Home!"
She was to late. We heard the gunshots and over that heard a man's cry "PUSH FORWARD! TODAY WE BREAK THEIR FIRST LINES!"
It was Cooper, the revolution leader. No one has heard or seen him in two years when the revolution had ended. I looked at Julian and saw the fire in his eyes. "Julian-"
"I'm helping you can't stop me."
"I was going to say we'll be needing these."
I handed him a sub-machine gun from a crate I found that was labeled fruit. He smiled and we pulled up our hoods. I looked at him and said "I reckon we're old enough now."
He smiled a little wider and said "I reckon you're right."
We ran as fast as we could to make it to the front lines, we ran so fast we almost ran straight into a guard. The guards call themselves "The Suppressors". A squad of revolutionaries grabbed us and pulled us into an alleyway. One made a shush sign and aimed his rifle at the guard and took him out. "Go check him!" The sniper said.
Julian and I sprinted over there and checked him for weapons and ammo. Julian took his pistol and the ammo for it. I grabbed the assault rifle and we dashed back to the group.
The sniper looked at all of us and said "This is it, the front lines. Be ready to waist some ammo. All spoils are shared, we have survived as family and will fight as family. We will win as a family and we will rejoice as a family. That is the law of the revolution."
He paused.
"Everyone ready?"
I turned and puked then we all nodded our heads.
