Our Generation

Helping Me

"Now form a line and we will walk to the camera room they'll get your pictures because tonight all of the Sireth children new and old will gather in front of a screen since you new your height weight name category and age will be displayed"

End of recap

I was lost in thought while walking in the line, that I didn't notice there was nothing blocking me from the door that led to the camera room "come on girl" a gruff voice said pulling me into the dark lit room. I stepped onto the platform and was temporarily blinded as the platform spun so the camera could get me from every angle. I was dizzy as I stepped down "that door" the man pointed in his deep chilling voice. I started to feel like I was going to be sick and was getting hot flashes but I didn't hesitate that man was a grouch when I walked in a woman squealed and jumped up to give me a hug.

" I'm Stephanie I'm going to question you for your group" I didn't even think about it I knew how I felt "I think it's absolutely ridiculous you would steal kids because half of our generation is messed up!" I took a deep breath trying to calm myself. "we'll your not F or W" " what's that mean?"

I asked irritated I knew I was probably pushing my luck but who cares anymore. Her cheery smile faded. Shit I knew I'd gone too far.

"missy let me tell you something If you don't straighten up you'll be dead by tomorrow. I know what it feels like to be taken I was. You know how I made it i shut up and agreed with whatever they said" her happy smile returned "well I know what group your in" she said F- fragile AS- appears stable W- weak UA - unaffected. I'm in AS if they knew what i was really feeling like I wouldn't be in any if those.

"You should've pretended to be weak or fragile they make it easier for you" she whispered. Stephanie pointed to a door marked AS " thanks" I whispered she didn't reply i'll pretend she didn't hear me.

I heaved as i opened the heavy metal door when it shut I heard a loud click which told me that a giant lock had been placed on that door. I felt that same uneasy feeling creep into my stomach. I was looking into a long tunnel with kids lined up everywhere the shouts and screams echoed off the walls with dim lit torch type things on the walls. "What is this" I asked while my voice broke.
