On my own

Dad?

Anna gestures for me to stand up, her dark brown eyes look me up and down, sizing me up. The other girl, Katherine, was snickering beside her. I climbed out of the bed and onto my feet, wobbling slightly. Anna reaches forward to steady me.

"Thanks." I smile at her, but I get no response back. She turns, gesturing for me to fall in line with her and Katherine. I follow behind her, taking everything in. From the long rows of beds, to the other room we pass. Finally arriving in a fairly large room, tables lining the walls. A long banquet table stretched down the length of the room that held all sorts of fruits, meats, vegetables, drinks, and deserts.  

"Eat." Anna says. Katherine leans down to whisper in my ear.

"Don't worry Luna, She isn't this gruff all the time. She's just trying to scare you." I look up at Katherine as she speaks, and she gives me a genuinely warm smile. Anna hands a plate to me and I take it, she's piled it with a little bit of everything. Anna and Katherine piled up their own plates and brought me over to one of the tables.

"How did you get here?" Anna asks me. As i go to respond Katherine cute me off, speaking to Anna.

"Let the girl eat will you? She just woke up we can show her around after. Ask her before lights out." Katherine smiles at me as i pick at my food.

"You need to eat. Or the watchers will report you." Anna mutters to me. I glance around to see people in bright white uniforms, with tattoos of eyes on the back of their hands. One was staring right at me, and looked shocking like my father.
