Jess's POV

After Chris leaves my room, I lie back down on the cold table. I shift from side to side, trying to get more comfortable but it was a table, there wasn't much you could do. I heard a yell come from another room. It didn't sound like Chris but it was extremely close. I shot up from the table and ran to the door but it was locked. I banged on it but I knew that wasn't going to help. I exhaled deeply to calm myself down. The screaming stopped. I sat on the floor with my back against the door. I cry a little and pretty soon, I'm fast asleep.

(The next day)

I woke up early. I really didn't have a choice. I had a lot of things on my mind. I cat stretched and yawned. I wasn't on the table anymore. I was on an actual bed. I dug my face into the pillows and lay like that for a while. The door suddenly opened and a lady walked in. Don't these people know how to knock? She has red hair in a high pony tail and wore a black jumpsuit. She drops some clothes, shoes and some underwear at the foot of my bed. "Get ready." She orders and leaves the room. I take the clothes, shoes and underwear into the bathroom. The bathroom isn't that big. It consists of a toilet, a small sink and a medium shower. The walls are painted white and make my eyes burn. I hop into the shower. The cool water on my skin relaxes me. Fresh. I step out and wrap a towel around myself. I get dressed and brush my teeth. I put on the shoes. The outfit is really boring. Its just a jumpsuit with boots. I wash my face a bit and inspect my lip. It really does look bad. I get out of the bathroom and out of my bedroom. I open the door and step into the hallway. The lady is waiting for me. "Follow." She orders. I grind my teeth together. I don't like her already. We step into an elevated and go down to the fourth floor. We walk through some doors and eventually end up in a large dining hall. The dining hall is huge! There are about 20 tables. There are tables with different food options and a gigantic TV screen hanging from a beam. From where I'm standing I can see eggs, bacon and what I think is toast. That toast does Not look like toast. The mean lady shoved me forward. "Hurry up!" She shouted. I walk in, saying curse words to no one in particular. I walk to one of the food tables to get some breakfast. While I'm putting some ' toast ' on my plate, a voice speaks up, "why hello there." The voice makes me jump. I drop my plate. Its plastic so it doesn't break but my food scatters across the floor. I turn around, angry as hell. "What the hell! You don't just sneak up on people like that!" I yell annoyed and hungry. I look at the person standing in front of me. Its a boy. How ironic. He's tall and buff. He has brown hair and blue eyes, just like Chris's. The only difference is that Chris's eyes scream: Protector and his scream: Charmer. "Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you," he apologized, "I'm Fin." I giggle at his name. "Fin?" I ask. "Short for Finland." He jokes making me laugh. "You're kidding." He gives me a smile, exposing his perfectly straight, pearly white teeth. "Where may I ask are you from?" He asks with a hand to his back. He's really classy. I feel like I'm talking to the Queen. "I'm from California." I reply stooping to clean up my mess. Fin does the same. As we pick up food, its completely silent. "I never got your name." Fin tells me breaking the silence. I pick up some eggs. "Jess." I watch his reaction to my name. He's grinning. "Short for Jessica." I say quickly before he gets any ideas. His grin turns into a small smile. "I'm pretty sure there's no country that has Jess in its name." He says knowingly. "Ooh, charming and smart." I coo. He laughs and we continue picking up the food. When we're done, I dump my plate into a nearby trash can. I look over at Fin's cheek. Its a little swollen. "I'm guessing you put up a fight too." I sigh. He nods and the charming glint in his eye fades. "I don't think they wanna get rid of us though. We would have been dead by now." Before I can answer, Chris walks in. He looks around, probably for me. "Over here!" I shout to him. He looks in my direction and his face lights up. Like when a dog sees his owner. He is so damn cute! Wait, no he's not! Yes he is! Shut up mind! Chris walks over to me but freezes when he sees Fin. "Who's this?" He questions eyeing Fin. "Chris this is Fin. Fin this is Chris." They shake hands. "Very nice to meet you Christopher." Fin greets. Chris turns bright red. I laugh at his face and he playfully glares at me. "Let's get breakfast. I'm starving." I cry like a five year old. As we full our plates, Chris starts a conversation. "Hey Fin," he begins and Fin looks in his direction with a piece of bacon in his mouth, "your accent is......different. Where are you from?" Fin swallows. "England. You?" I stuff some eggs in my mouth and sat at a nearby table. Fin and Chris follow. "Australia. Land of the forever kicking kangaroos." He says and Fin and I laugh. "Land of tea and crumpets." Fin says extending the joke. "Land of tall grass and man eating lions!" I hear two people shout. I look behind me. Two dark skinned kids stood in the doorway next to another girl. They walked over and sat next to us. "Africa?" I ask thinking back on their words. They nod. "I'm Kuntakinta and this is my.....friend Belle." The boy says as he gestures to the other African girl. Fin slips some eggs into his mouth. "Friend, he says." He says under his breath and Chris and I shoot him a glare. He looks at both of us. "What!?" Kuntakinta laughs at Fins awkwardness. "White people." He says as he laughs. Fin, Chris and I look at each other, not sure if to be hurt or not. The other girl stares at Fin. He stares back at here then his eyes open wide. "Ella!" He yells. The girl looks at him confused. "Ella, its me Fin." The girl bites her lip trying to remember if she knew him or not. "How do you know my name?" She asks. Fin's face drops into a frown. She had the same accent as him. They are both from England. I see a tear roll down Fin's cheek. Chris rubs his back but Fin shoves his hand away. "She doesn't remember me," was all I hear him say before he burries his face in his hands. "Is she your sister?" I ask him as he cries. "No! She's my girlfriend."

Chris's POV

"Is she your sister?" Jess asks Fin. "No! She's my girlfriend." Jess strokes Fin's brown hair as he cries silently. Kuntakinta and Belle put their heads down. Moments later, other kids walk in. I can identify some of their nationalities. I see Mexicans, Germans, Chinese and some Scottish kids. The rest couldn't be identified. Then through the thick crowd, I see someone I thought I would never see again. "JOSH!" I yell and run over to him. He runs too and when we meet, I embrace him in a hug. Josh's face is bruised and scarred. Anger boils inside of me. He doesn't deserve this! He only fricking twelve! I walk Josh back to my table and introduce him to everyone. We sit down but before we can do anything, a loud screech fills the dining hall. Everyone covers their ears. Everyone but Jess. "Jess, cover your ears!" She doesn't move she just screams. I cover her ears and end up screaming myself. We scream until the sound fades. By this time, Jess is crying. I wipe away her tears gently. The big TV screen suddenly turns on and a feminine and male face stare down at us. The man is stern and looks down at us in disappointment while the woman is soft and looks down at us with pity. Jess looked up at the screen and glares at the people. She snuggles into me and I wrap my arm around her protectively. "Hello children!" The man exclaims and his voice booms through the hall. I felt Jess shiver and I held her tighter. "Welcome to Revolution Chosen ones." The woman continued.

"This is where ALL will be explained."
