Decentria

Chapter 2

I had just woken. I could feel the ship going down at a slow pace. At first, I thought we

were crashing. When I looked at the monitor at the front of the ship I could see we were minutes away from landing in Sector 8. I could see the whole island from the ship. Most of it was trees and it had a small beech at the side that looked like fifty men had died.

In the distance I saw a huge piece of the group begin to open in half. I could see a

runway inside it. I could feel the vibrations of the wheels coming out from beneath the ship. Madame Sky did not share an interest in any of it. I guessed that she would be interested in seeing this place since she knows a lot about it but never layed her eyes on it. I guessed she was just tired and upset at the death of her husband.

We had just touched down and the ground began to close over are heads. A voice over

the intercom told us to unlock the doors, turn off the engine and come out of the ship slowly. I did the following and opened the door. Madame Sky stepped out before me. I then followed her. We were told to stand still. A couple of rebels made their way into the ship and searched it. When they shouted out that it was empty, the rebels in front of us asked which one of us Madame Sky was. As Madame sky rose her hand, the rebels raised their guns to her and told her to get on her knees. I began to scream that she was not an enemy but two rebels came over and pulled me away from her. As I tried to hit my way out the rebels arrested Madame Sky. As they began to walk away I pushed myself out of the rebels arms and ran over to save Madame Sky. Just as I was almost behind her a rebel out of uniform came running on front of me and hit me in the face with the back of his gun. I blacked out.....

I opened my eyes, slowly. I was blinded by the light over me. I looked to my right and

I can see a door. A normal door, not a cell door. I was surprised that I was not in a cell, or arrested by the rebels. My thoughts on the whole situation stopped when I felt a huge bump on my forehead that was near the size of an apple.

I stood up out of the bed I had been sleeping in. I made my way to the door and I was

shocked when it opened. Beside the door, the rebel who knocked me out was standing their looking at me.

"Hello Victoria," he said happily.

As I was about to reply, I remembered that voice. It was Mike from the phone, the

phone from the ship. Instead of replying I looked at him with a unsatisfied face and turned my back to him. He laughed.

"I guess you remember me," he said.

I continued to ignore him.

"This way Vic," he said with a minor smile.

I began following him down the hallway. We passed a couple of rooms and then began

walking through a room that had a few hospital wards in it. There was nobody in the beds though. I continued walking and caught up to Mike.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"O, you can talk," he said sarcastically.

"Of course I can, now answer the question," I said.

"We are going to President M's office, she wants a word with you," he said.

I then remained silent. I was secretly terrified to meet President M, mainly because I

thought I was about to receive the same treatment as Madame Sky.

At the end of the hallway we entered began going down a very deep staircase. At the

moment we are on floor 50. We have to walk to President M's office on floor 30. After about five floors I began to grow tired. I continued to walk, but at a slow pace.
