Camilia awoke on the floor.Her bare arms and legs cold from the hard wood floor.She sat and hugged her knees,shivering.She heard her teeth chattering .Her skin and blood screaming for warmth.Camilia tried to stand,fighting the urge to rub her arms.She remembered using her thin black jacket as a pillow,that had clearly been a bad idea.Still shivering,Camilia settled herself on her beige couch,the soft fabric slowly starting to send a small amount of heat to her lower regions.
With her arm trembling,she reached and grabbed the television remote.That was a rule in town,every morning you had to watch the morning news,however you could just miss it by sleeping in,only to have it recorded onto your television.
Camilia sighed in annoyance and sat back on the couch,watching the screen come to life.Of coarse the news station never showed their faces,Camilia wasn't quite sure herself,but she didn't care.
Resting her arm on the arm of the couch,she held her head with her hand,watching the white words slowly make their way up the black screen.As always,the new"partners" would be shown first.Partners were newly matched couples who"fell in love"and got married.That made a small itch in Camilias throat.She found it strange that all partners were brought together on the exact same night as their 18th birthday.Did anyone else notice?Probably not.
Just before Camilia tried to turn the television off,a"special announcement"rang out.She sighed once more and looked at the screen."Attention all residents of Eastville,we are proud to announce that the Mayors son has finally been found."Camilias eyes widened at this.'Didn't he run away?..'Camilia thought to herself.
