I woke up at 2:30 am to escape a dream. The dream had wrapped itself around me like a nuse. At home there would hav been a dream catcher placed above my head. My grandmother died on the day I was born. Before she passed she gave my mother the catcher and said, "give this to the little Torra." My mother said that she always called little girls Torra. Scottish meaning: from the castle. Control everything by thyself.
I fall back onto my bed. The springs bounce a little, then settle to my weight. I think about Quinn and Ideana and Sheq, and of course Mads. That was my life before. I thought it the worst one. I was wrong. I am beginning to adapt to Avalon more and more. Every day is sunny. Every person is perfect. It is like the distopias in books I used to read in the other world. Although, society collapses under their feet and people die, and everything goes wrong. Here, everything is perfect. But I guess I could just be building the climax.
I hear a tappetty tap tatap tap on my door. If it is coded I cannot tell. So I look through the fishbowl eyehole and see a hot guy at my door step. I slide each one of five locks open and the door flings open. And a breeze wafts into the room. Causing me to remember, I am not completely dresssed. I am wearing a see-through nightgown. Luckily I am wearing a bra and underwear beneath the garments. I rush into the bathroom and grab a towel to wrap around myself, and return to the door.
"Hello Torra." He says, as if normal to know someone's name before they tell you, "I am Rowan, I know you have met my friend Avea. But I am here to bring you to the chosen meeting, Avea had to go early and help set up. Your shift is tomorrow, the they will also explain that at the chosen meeting."
"Uh, ok-aay?" I stutter. This guy is hot, but other than that I don't see much else in him. I trust Avea's judgement though. He seems pretty stressed right now, Maybe he doesn't like talking to new people. He kinda needs to chill. But when he's tense his muscles flex, making him look even more hot, I'll give that to him.
"I'll meet you out in a sec" I close the door on his face and run in to get dressed in a yellow t shirt and khakis. I'm not really sure what is in style in Avalon, so I just threw on the first pair of clothes in the pile that Avea had brought over the past night. I brush my teeth and put on deodorant. "It's all about the first impression" my older sister used to say to me. That is one of the only memories I have of her.
I open up the door again and step outside, Rowan is sitting on the step examining his sweaty hands. When he hears the door he bolts upright. "Ready?" He asks. I nod. We walk aqwardly through the neighborhood. I am pretending to be emencly intrigued by the mundane arcetecture that surrounds us, trying to make an excuse not to socialize with him.
When we reach a dome building, Rowan breaks the silence. "This one, here." He points to the dome. In big letters it says, meeting center. I see other people shuffling into the building."they are also the chosen, you will meet them soon". Rowan drops me off at the front of the building, "here you are" he says. "Thanks" I reply.
I enter the dome and scan the building for Avea. I tap a girls shoulder, she turns around and glares at me.
"Hi, uh, do you, uh, know where Avea, uh, is?"I ask like a dumbass.
"No, get away from me" she flips her blond-dyed-pink-at the ends hair in my face.
Suddenly a elderly man beats a wooden mallet against a podium, like in a courtroom. Everyone gathers around the podium.
"Hello chosen!"he booms. "Most of you have arrived either yesterday or two days ago, and I know you are wondering what the heck Avalon is." He pauses and lets a chuckle spread through the room, "you were chosen to come to Avalon by your abilities. I hope you all prove yourself worthy, for it is an honor to be here."
Next to me I see the blonde/ pink haired girl being hauled away by two super sized men.
"Some of you have not proved well, and have been taken away to Estogary, the evil version of Avalon." The man says. "We are supposed to keep most information about Avalon secret, until you turn eighteen, when you will make a big decision!"
He dissmisses us with no further information. I search around for Avea, when I finally locate her I jog over to meet her.
"Well that was a bunch of crap" I say to her. She chuckles and says, "yeah I know, a real let down". We walk back to our living quarters, chatting gleefully the whole way, as if we had met before, and where just reuniting.
