Traffic Jam

The Makeover-Kayla

"Wow. This is really good."

I am eating a thing called a muffin, apparently this one was the flavor of something called a banana, which was apparently a fruit. In the plantation every morning for breakfast, we got oatmeal, for lunch, potatoes, and for dinner, stew. Everyday no matter what, unless madam was in a really, really good mood, then we might get strawberries with our oatmeal. I think a strawberry is a fruit too.

"Well, I figured because you're I isolation you might as well get something good. Seeing as you didn't really do anything wrong, it was your sister right?"

I stopped chewing my muffin. I had totally forgotten about Lily, and Piper. How did I do that when she is the reason that I'm in this fricken jail anyway?

"Uh yea. My other sister went to look for her."

"Do you know why she ran away?" This guards voice sounded very familiar, in a weird way.

"No, I wish I had gone with her though."

"Why, this place isn't that bad is it?"

"Well kind of, but that's not the reason."

"Then what is?"

"I am going to be sold in a couple of days, and apparently my sister Piper knew."

"Then why didn't she tell you?"

"I have no idea, but it's not like her."

"There must be a reason."

"Alright, get up you little good for nothing!" The other guard, the one who had brought me to jail, was back. "Get out of my way private!"

The mean guard crosses the room, she had a devilish look in her eye. "We have to make you nice and pretty. Your future owner is coming by to take a look at you."

"Pretty how."

"Well, you're going to get your hair looking not like a rats nest, make the face clean, and maybe some body imaging, your too skinny and your buyer wants more boob on you."

"How is that going to happen?" I was getting a little scared.

"The only way to do it is with surgery."

The guard took the shackle off of my foot and pulled me out of the room. I walked outside the ruin and the first thing that u though was how little light I had seen in the past couple of days.

With in a few minutes I was in a room I had never seen before, it smelled heavily if cleaning chemicals.

"Take off your clothes and put this on." Said a person wearing a white coat and a mask.

I did as I was told because the mean guard was in the corner making sure I didn't run.

I was wearing a thin dress if some sort, it had an odd pattern and was tied in the back. I felt very uncomfortable. I had worn the same, grey jumpsuit for the past seven years.

When you finished dressing the guard pulled me into another room off of the one that I was in. In the middle of the room was a flat table with padding, that was raised off if the ground. The room
was white and had all sorts of weird machines.

"Sit there." The person in white said. She was looking at a black thing, it seemed to be made out of two rectangles and one of them was attached to the other. The one that was on the table had little buttons that the person I white kept pushing.

All of the sudden a man came into view on a large rectangle that was above the padded table. "Mr. Marks can you hear me?"

"Very well Dr. Lavish." So that was the doctor's name.

"This is the girl that we have promised you. She is 12 I believe."

"Very pretty I see, but very dirty, and she si very skinny. Make sure that you fix that before I pick her up in tomorrow." 

"We have the resources to have the necessary work done on her."

"Is her voice alright, if it is too deep, or high I will get annoyed."

Lavish turned to me, "speak." I did nothing I was in too mush shock, were they going to give me surgery in order for my body to be okay?

"I said speak you little ass!"

"My name is Kayla, my parents are dead, my sister had run away and she needs me, please don't adopt me."

The man looked at me oddly, then said "Sing, sing me a song."

"I only know one." I said.

"I don't recall asking you how many you know, I said sing." He was obviously starting to get annoyed. 

I sang. " I've been working in  the field, all through the day, Yes I've been working in the field just to pass the hours away..."

"I've heard enough, her voice is decent. Fix the body issues and I will gladly take her off if your hands."

"Right away sir, she will be ready for pick up tomorrow."

I had enough, I ran from the room.
