A Light In A Dark World [ON HOLD]

Chapter 6

   The next day as soon as I wake up I see a plate of food on the end of my bed. I wonder who keeps bringing me food? While I eat my breakfast Chelea walks into the room with white capris and a purple tank top on. Her hair is down and yet again her beauty lights up the room and her wide, bright smile fills me with joy.

"Hey Tamzine."

"Hey Chelea,"

"Did you sleep?" she asks

"Yes," and this time in fact I am not lying, last night I had the best sleep I had had for a long time. The statement brings a brighter smile to her face. I copy her smile. She sits down with me on my bed.

"You and I have the same job and the same shift today so I thought I would come to pick you up, and maybe we could go to the recreational room after our shift."

"Of course."

   My shift today is harvesting wheat, and when Chelea and I both get there we both grab scythe like objects and work away. Getting every last piece of wheat there is.

We finish when the sun is now setting. Chelea lets out a sigh of her work and I do as well. We both head to the recreational area. To get there you go through the clearing and to the biggest cave there is the in the whole canyon. The room is filled with games the society no longer plays. We see people playing Xbox 6,000 and the Play station 3,500. It seems this is where everyone meets after work based off the fact that the room is crowded with people. Everyone has huge grins on their faces and they're all laughing. Chelea and both head to a game I have never seen before, its called Pac-man. Chelea says it's the oldest game they have there or the oldest game in the Sania. I play for a while, it seems to feature a yellow monster that eats dots and runs away from ghosts. It makes no sense to me what purpose this game has.

  After testing many games Chelea and  sit down in chairs that surround a so called "bar." As we sit Chelea orders her and I gin and tonics.

"So in society, what is it like?"

"Shity," I state, at that reply Chelea laughs to a point where she is almost crying.

"How?" she asks

"Everything is just organized and boring."

"Did you have friends in society?" she asks

"No," I state

"Aw, that is shity, well you have friends now," Chelea says smiling as I nod and smile back.

Our drinks finally get here and I start to gulp it down, but start to make bitter faces and choke on it.

"Woah there honey, sip it."

This is definitely a ton stronger than the whine I had last night. The thought of last night brings a smile to my face but I soon push the memories away. And sip down some more of my gin and tonic. Chelea and I talk more about my society. When I'm finished I have consumed about 3 or more gin and tonics. Everything around me is all distorted and the music in the background echoes in my ears. Chelea says something about leaving and she grabs my arm and drags me along and before I know it I'm in my room putting my pajamas on, and before I know it I'm outside in the open twirling around like a ballerina. Then all of a sudden I bump into something stiff and hard.

"Who pud dis here," I say to myself slurring my words. I look up to see a blurry person in front of me with dark green eyes.

"Keath.... what. Your mean and mysterious, oooooo." I say once again slurring my words. Keath looks at me with a strangely worried face, well that's a first!

"Are you drunk Tamzine?" he says stiffly

"Pshh, whaaaat? Whatchya talkin bout' willis."

"Okay, now I know your drunk, go to your room Tamzine, you need to sleep."

"Ugh, but I don't want to."

It takes him a while to say or do anything else, but then all I feel is my body being lifted and pushed. I then find my self gently somehow thrown on to my bed and Keath's herd rock body next to me. Oh yeah..... albs.

     When I wake I want to throw myself off a cliff from the pain of the headache I endure. I jump up and run to the bathroom by my cave, I puke. Once I come out I try to remember all that happened last night. All I can remember is Chelea taking me out and........ OH MY LORD!!! I run back to my cave to see Keith no where in sight. Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear Keith slept in the same bed as me. I then dress quickly into jeans and a black tee-shirt on. When I'm finished Keath walks in.

"I'm here to take you to your second shift." he says as if nothing ever possibly happened, maybe it didn't happen.

"Okay."

My next shift is to clean dishes all day. When I'm done my hands are red from the hot water and my headache has faded.

"Keath?"

"What?"

"Did you put me to bed last night?"

He doesn't answer and starts to walk away and I then grab him.

"Why do you not like anyone, and especially me? I mean I know parents kind of sucked, but why do you hate everyone?" he cringes as I speak and turns toward me with pure hatred in his eyes, god I'm stupid. I just brought up his freakin past and expect him to not to be pissed as I'm asking him why he hates everyone.

"Well whoever told you that forgot to tell who my mother is!!!!" he booms

"Who?" I ask as he stomps away, his signature move. He doesn't answer as I run after him yelling,"Keath, I'm sorry!" Finally he turns around, annoyed, and answers.

"My mother was sent away a long time ago, when I was a young boy. She was the second in command to the rebellion as you are now. Her mission was to find the girl who will be "the light to our dark world" and to our rebellion. She has been there for thirteen years. And her name was Jane!! Don't you see your very existence took away the only person who cared or loved me. Your very existence put me through hell. You just walk right in without a care in the world, and you take my mother's position, and I have every right to for it!"

Guilt fills me, but then soon anger," Well I'm sorry I had to exist, I'm sorry I had to save my life, I was just following her wishes!"

"The point is that you could have saved her and brought her with you! But instead you are selfish and you leave her in society. You frigid bitch."

We both stare at each other until I use his signature move and stomp away.
