A Blood Red Top Hat

Chapter Thirteen: Name

Soom after the conversation, the girl wakes up. She is confused like always, when she first woke up, we get her back to the bed that I've originally woke up on. I can clearly see her face is carved with fear, sweat drips from her golden locks onto her cheeks and soon falling down to the woven covers. "I'll talk to her." I step in front of Wretched, he give a small shrug and step back for a signal to go in. I noded back while brushing away the doors and poping my head into the room.

First impression, she crawl back untill her back is pressed against the stone wall at the end of the 'bed'. But then, her eyes widens with shock. "Spirit?" She give a surprised look and so do I. "How'd you know my name?" I cross my arms, I certainly don't remember her, at least I don't think so.

"Well I remember you from Naming." She explained while regaining her balance and crawling back into her original place.

"Naming?" I questioned, this time I grap a chair and sits down on it.

"You know." She tries to use her hand to descibe something, and I certainly understand that she is trying to express the Naming.

"Well I am part of it." She gives on gesturing and crosses her arms.

"Good enough." I laughed, well maybe.

I look back into my memory again, trying to find her face. "Right..." My brain keeps on searching...until..

"I am the Alpha, and welcome to Jamaa, tonight you will choose your name and you will be living with the name until we found a way to get out of here."

Alpha turn around back to me, a stone broad apprently is behind him the whole time. It have words, name to be exact. "Come and choose."

I move other to the other side, many people have move out of the way of my route.

The broad was inprint with names, 'Infinity' 'eternal' 'monster' and more.

In the corner of my eyes, I see a little girl, dirty blonde with streaks of yellow. She is looking at me with her watery eyes, she mouthed something, I don't get what she is saying but soon she draws something on the ground.

Spirit

"Choose, this is your only chance."

There are way too many words to choose from, but only one name stands out for me.
were the name wasn't been used yet, but the name really attracts me, it's like screaming"pick me" over and over again. But...The girl wanted me to pick spirit.

"Spirit." I look at the Alpha.

"Okay." Alpha turn to the crowd, "we have a new comer, her name is Spirit."

The crowd chears, that happiness at least make me loosen up, making me feel like home.

"It's you.." this time confusion hits me, hard. "Why?" I asked. "It suits you." She shruged.

But... she is just a merely computer progam, set up just like Alpha to trick me. But just by herself it won't hurt, and she is the one who chosen my name. She is very important, to me.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"I've run with the Alpha, but I realised, they are trying to kill me. I run, as fast as I could with my skinny legs, I don't think they are people I should trust."

My brows forrowed, is she a player like me not a AI (Artificial intelligence). "Well you are save now." I stood up ready to leave, "you sure needed some serious rest." I said shoving the door open.

"Also." I peak my head back. "What's your name?"

"Swimming. (Suggested by:bulldoggone)"

"Great." I walk out of the room.

Hopefully she is not a computer AI.
