I'm Alive [CANCELED]

Chapter Four- My "Death"

Breathe. Walk a step. Exhale.

As I walked to the big auditorium at the government.

My mom squeezes my hand.

"You'll be okay, just remember our plan." she says with surprising confidence before walking away towards the parent section.

A long line of 18 year old's runs in front of the stage. Walking over to the end of the line makes me want to scream for help.

Collin isn't here as predicted. To be totally honest, part of me wishes he was here to add a little light during this time of pure terror. He's somewhere in the Remedy safe from the real world, leaving me alone with a 50/50 chance of success plan.

About a thousand or so more teens pour into the auditorium each with horror in their eyes.

I stand there with my hands at my sides and my hands in fists. Today I wear my charm bracelet that I've hidden for all these years, yet today I wear it like armor. The diamond signifies me as a related member of the government therefore making no one talk or look at me. Even my outfit doesn't draw too much attention. With my plain jeans and blue t-shirt, I blend right in. Everyone here is dressed in the most casual clothes that we almost look like normal students just going to a normal meeting, but then reality comes into focus.

"Testing..." says a woman into the microphone. 

Everyone in the room falls completely silent.

"Welcome! Just to sum up what will happen today I can tell you that after you've come up here and spoken your name, parents and way of your death, you should gather on the left side if you choose to die by in front of the whole group of the Theory. If you choose to have your parents cause your death gather on the right side. Now, I'll start by just going down the line." says the woman.

The woman is holding a pencil and a clipboard.

Each person in line slowly walks up to the stage and sits down. 

Personally, I'm not paying attention to who's going until I'm next.

"Ahem." the woman clears her throat at me impatiently.

Slower than a slug, my feet drag the rest of myself up to the stage and sit down in the chair.

"Name." states the woman.

Wow she's a little strait to the point.

What did you except? She's one of them.

Yes she is. Just mean.

And Evil.

Don't forget venomous!

"Kaytilynn Evans." I say, interrupting my brain's thoughts about this certain government lady.

The woman takes about half a second to write that down on her clipboard.

"Parent's names?" the woman asks, raising an eyebrow.

I sigh out loud. The last name of 'Evans' may have taken her by surprise.

"Asher and Alexandria Evans." I say boldly.

With a small nod, the woman writes that information on her clipboard.

"Finally, for your death Option #1 or Option #2?" asks the woman.

This time she looks up from her clipboard at me.

"Option #2." I say weakly.

"Okay, please join the people on the right side." says the woman.

Alone, I walk over to the small group of people who have chosen the same fate as me. Well minus my plan.
