+ Using the following "story idea" below, write the first scene in the novel introducing the young woman. This scene should start in the middle of the action, include dialog, vivid passages, and end on a cliffhanger relevant to the story idea but it should also be unexpected. The scene should be 1000 words long and escalate in conflict and suspense and be written in first person, present tense with the point of view character being the young woman.

410
+ In a world ruled by dictatorship, a rebel young woman leads a rebellion against the system. Despite the risks, she fights to overthrow the dictator and restore democracy to her country. The government executes her for treason, but she sticks to her beliefs and is responsible for starting the revolution.

+
416
+ My heart pounds as I sprint down the dark alleyway, the metallic thuds of the Dictate's boots echoing closer with each breath. Sweat drips down my back, making my shirt stick to my skin, and each gasp for air feels like a razor blade tearing through my lungs. The full moon provides a meager, flickering light that reflects off the puddles below, making it even harder to stay unseen.
417
+
418
+ "There she is!" a booming voice thunders from the other end of the alley. "The traitor herself! Get her, men! She won't get away this time!"
419
+
420
+ I duck behind a overflowing trash bin, my heart leaping into my throat when a massive boot comes careening down where my head was a second ago. Trembling, I grip my makeshift weapon tighter, a rusty crowbar I found on the ground. It's pathetic against their weaponry, but it's all I have.
421
+
422
+ "You're doomed, little traitor!" another soldier jeers from farther down the alley. "You've seen too much. You'll tell us everything you know, and then we'll make you pay for your treason!"
423
+
424
+ I curse under my breath. How did they find out so fast? It was supposed to be a simple delivery of food and weapons to the resistance cell in the outskirts. A small act of defiance against the oppressive regime that's been suffocating my people for too long. But I've always been reckless, impulsive.
425
+
426
+ I close my eyes for a heartbeat, silently reciting the underground network's escape plan. If I can just make it to the sewer entrance on the other end of the alley...
427
+
428
+ I hear a soldier up ahead cough violently, and a second later, a noxious cloud enshrouds them. I blink tear-filled eyes, but it's enough to see two stumbling silhouettes collide into each other. My heart leaps with newfound hope. It must be the other cell, in time for the rendezvous.
429
+
430
+ "Now's my chance!" I whir around and sprint down the clouded alley, my lungs burning. I can almost taste freedom.
431
+
432
+ That's when a massive hand clamps around my throat, lifting me off the ground. I choke and thrash in agony, kicking and clawing at the arm that's crushing the life out of me. The worlds "Let go!" are nothing but strangled gurgles.
433
+
434
+ A cold, emotionless face hovers above mine. The Dictate himself. His chiseled features are as cruel as ever in the pale light, the scar on his cheek a sinister grin. His dark eyes narrow.
435
+
436
+ "So, little traitor," he croaks through gritted teeth. "You thought you could get away from me?" His grip tightens, and the world starts to go black at the edges. "You's...tupid..." I spit out blood.
437
+
438
+ "Never..." are my last words before the world goes mercifully black.

441
+
442
+ I don't want to die like this, shackled to this bloody wooden chair, in this dank, damp cell with no window, only a single flickering torch illuminating the eternal shadows. The stench of urine and rotting flesh fills my lungs with every shallow breath I manage to take. The chains dig into my wrists and ankles, the metal biting deeper into my bruised and bloodied skin with each jostle of my restless body. My back is aflame from the lashes I've endured over the last few hours, leaving stripes on my flesh like a roadmap of my interrogation.
443
+
444
+ "You know what you did was treason, don't you?" Captain Loring's cold, cruel voice penetrates the haze of pain I'd been trying to find refuge in. "You knew the consequences of your actions. You chose this."
445
+
446
+ He leans closer, his breath reeking of the cheap wine he must have consumed earlier that night. His cruel green eyes boring into my own hazel ones, daring me to defy him once more. The last time I saw his face was on the night they stormed our hideout, the night everything fell apart. The memory of that fateful night makes my heart pound against my cage of ribs as a fresh wave of panic overwhs...
447
+
448
+ I shake my head violently, trying to rid myself of the agony that threatens to engulf me again. I will not give him this victory, not after all I've done.
449
+
450
+ "I would do it all over again," I grit out through gritted teeth. "You can tor-ture me until the end of time, but I won't betray my people, or our fight for a free, just society."
451
+
452
+ Captain Loring raises an eyebrow, his face twisted in a mixture of irritation and admiration. He takes a step back, running his fingers through his greasy blond hair before he paces around the cramped cell. The sound of his boots thudding against the cold stone floor is the only thing that cuts through the suffocating silence.
453
+
454
+ He stops, suddenly, a predatory glint in his eyes. "You know, I admire your spirit, your conviction. It's a shame you chose the wrong cause."
455
+
456
+ I snort, my chest heaving with anger and indignation. "There is no wrong cause when it comes to fighting for freedom. You'd understand if you ever had an ounce of it in your rotten, treacherous bones."
457
+
458
+ The hand that shoots out of nowhere, clamping over my mouth, silences my words. I thrash and struggle against the unseen attacker, but I'm too weak, too worn out. I can hear Captain Loring's breathing growing more labored, sense his rage building with each frantic movement of my body.
459
+
460
+ Then, a hand grips my jaw, forcing my head up to meet the cold, calculating eyes of the man himself. He's flushed in the face now, his nostrils flaring as he tries to regain control.
461
+
462
+ "You are a foolish girl, do you know that?" he growls in my face. "I could end this now, make this all over. All it would take is just... a single word..." He pauses, his grip on my chin tightening even further. "But you, you've given me an idea."
463
+
464
+ His free hand comes out of his pocket, revealing a small vial. The tiny needle within glints ominously in the flickering torchlight.
465
+
466
+ "I think we should have a little... talk. A last resort, so to speak. If you still refuse to cooperate..." He flicks the top off the vial.
467
+
468
+ I feel something prick my arm, the sensation barely registering in the haze of pain and desperation engulfing me. My vision starts to blur at the edges, my eyelids growing heavier...
