Her

Chapter 9

I woke up to the sound of a steel door opening. Harold walked in, and said in his gruff voice
"So, Miss Cassandra, your trial commences."
I stood up, dizzy, but fine. I combed my hair with my fingers, and walked out. He escorted me to the van. This time, he let me sit in the backseat because it was my trial. I drifted off, wondering what would happen at The Creation.
****************************************************************************************************************
I woke up, and Harold was already outside. I hurried out of  the van, and he escorted me up to the meeting room. I saw Congresswoman and Congressmen whispering, pointing at me. I was sitting in a small makeshift desk on the other side of the Apprentices desk, on the other side being the secretary. The Apprentice walked in, and banged his gavel.
"I, The Apprentice, Call this Congress Meeting-And Trial- to order,"
Everyone hushed, even Alyssa, who had an evil smirk on her face.
"This New Congress Woman, Cassandra, Has Committed a Felony, The Felony Of Talking To her Enemy."
People Gasped, and I heard whispers.
"How dare she?"
"I know, This child shouldn't even be in Congress!"
The Apprentice spoke again.
"First, we will have the Reporters of the Crime tell us what happened. Miss Emerelda and Miss Tayetta, Please Come forward."
They Stepped into the room, their hands sitting upon their dresses, with perfect posture. They had the same outfits on as yesterday. It was obvious that they were just trying to please The Apprentice, Even though They were of higher class than him.
"Miss Tayetta, You May Start."
Tayetta curtseyed.
"Thank you, Apprentice. My Sister and I almost fell over this girl and she was speaking, with a very shady tone, to her poor enemy, who looked very frightened. It was obvious the Enemy Of The Child did not want to get in trouble. We kindly told her that she was breaking the rules, and then she threatened to break our nails!"
Her sister continued for her.
"We had no choice but to call a guard and get her arrested. We would like to see this criminal in "That"."
The Apprentice nodded, and started to speak.
"Well, I see every reason for this criminal to be in "That". Would anyone like to speak on this girl's behalf?"
Nobody stood up, nodded, or raised their hand- Except for Alyssa.
"Yes, Congresswoman Alyssa?" The Apprentice said, Obviously confused.
"I would like to say ..." Alyssa took a Breath.
"I also think this girl should go to "That". She is unfit for the job of Congresswoman, and has been very rude and obnoxious to me. I would also like to compliment Tayetta and Emerelda for capturing her."
Alyssa! She just wanted to get in the right spot with the Creator!
"Well, Now we shall vote, and then have our final step: Please Raise your hand if you think this Child should go to "That"?"
Everyone in the room raised their hand. Everyone. Nobody didn't object, nobody stuck up for me.....
"Well, Then Comes our Final Step. Everyone, The Creator must Ratify this."
A man in a white suit, with black hair that looked....unnatural and brown eyes that also looked unnatural stepped out of the shadows. I did not know how he could stay there, unnoticed, but he did. He was right next to my desk.
"Hello. I am the Creator. I will give my final judgement on this Child."
Everyone stood up, and bowed, and So did I.
I looked up at him, with pleading eyes, and he had something in his eyes that said: I have to.
The Creator took a breath.
"This Child Shall be Taken to "That". Take her Away."
I did not yell. I did not scream. I was pulled away by Harold, and was taken out of the building.
I was loaded into another Van, and everything went Black.
