Chapter 2:
I felt cold.
I woke up finding my window open, I didn't close it last night. Last Night... The memories flashed back to me. I remembered them kissing in my face. I cried in my pillow. "Titania!!! Wake up! It's time to go turn in our pictures!" Garyel shouted out at me. I had forgotten that last night I decided that I will join the competiton. I didn't want to marry Eddie Limiya, but my family needed the money. $500 each for me and Garyel. That'll be enough for us to move to Village 2. "Alright, I'm coming,"I responded to my sister. Garyel and I are twins. But she was born a second ahead, so she acts older.
I got ready and wore the only outfit I saw was fit for this trip to the post office, Grey Capris, green tank top, and black worn out boots, that almost looked grey. I tightened the ponytail I had on my dirty-dirty blond hair. I wore light makeup, that almost looked like I didn't wear any. I walked out of the doorway and I saw Garyel. The beautiful sun dress, father had gotten us before he left us, yellow flats, which seemed like they were newly bought, and she had washed out her hair, and let curls falls down her cheek. I was proud of my sister. Although, I didn't want to get married to uptight Eddie, I felt like my sister was huge competition for me. "You stare to much Titania! I want him to marry me, and I don't want my sister staring at us when we get married," Garyel said. "Don't worry, I won't even stare because I won't be there to watch straight-face anyway." I said smiling. Unlike my sister, I had the most beautifullest smile. She pulled my hand, and we stepped out of the doorway.
On our way to Village 3, we had encountered Watchers. We have alot of Watchers in Village 4. Watchers are those who kidnap girls, when they are by themselves. We were never afraid of them though.
We entered new territory. I could've sworn this was Village 1 or 2, the least. Ashten never brought me here.
We reached the post office, the line was shorter than I expected. But I knew this would happen because were on the last day of sending in the pictures. My picture shows me smiling so brightly, that was when my father came home after work. Garyel's picture was her on top of a roof on a building smiling like an angel, with her hair covering half of her face. We gave our pictures in and left the office.
As we strolled in Village 3, people stared at us. You could tell we were from Village 4 from our clothes. I saw Ashten and Jess walking hand and hand. I was jealous but it was too late for us now. I brushed past him, and I looked back. He did as well. No remorse. I turned back quickly. "Hey Titania, you know how twins have that feeling like something is wrong?" Garyel asked. "Yea," I responded. "It's Ashten, isn't it?" "Let's get going," I said ignoring her question.
As soon as we came home, I locked my door, and climbed to the ledge to think. I stared at the sky. I guess staring is my problem. Next week, we'll know who Eddie wants and I'll live a terrible life either way.
The picture shows Titania/Garyel.
