Irama's Cursed Love

Chapter 2

 I stared at him for a long time then I shrieked "Dead?!?!?" My voice was shaking."We're not dead, we didn't walk into the flames. . . so we couldn't be dead, right sir?" I asked uncertainty. He smiled again and said "Correct! You're not. . . But no one from your past lives need to know that or you'd be dead for real." "Where are we and who are you?", I asked."You, my dear one, are in the world of the Unwanteds the world of Émitra", the man said."I am Mr. Norihc the Head Egam of the world you are now a part of." Suddenly there was another flash of bright light and we were all blinded for a minute. When our eyesight returned, we found ourselves standing in a whole new world. Trees, flowers, and grass were growing everywhere. There were colors all around us. Off in the distance I could see a huge brilliant colorful mansion. Mr. Norihc said, "Follow me so we can get you all settled in and so you can meet all the other Unwanteds." He started to walk toward the mansion and we followed."Is this where we are going to live?", I asked. Mr. Norihc nodded his head and said "Yes each of you will be assigned a room and magic blackboard of your own." "Magic blackboard?" I asked curious. Mr. Norihc only replied "You'll see" We walked on in silence. When we reached the mansion Mr. Norihc yelled "Rebmis!" and a gigantic stone cheetah flew in from what I figured was a jungle and landed by the steps."Mr. Norihc. What do you need?", the cheetah purred."It is not what I need but what the brand new Unwanteds need", Mr. Norihc said. He turned to us and said "Meet Rebmis, Unwanteds. He is one of the protectors of Émitra and one of our highly respected warriors." "Greetings Unwanteds I look forward to teaching and becoming friends and hopefully becoming fellow warriors." "Mr. Norihc?," I asked."Yes?" "My name's Irama and I was wondering why do you have warriors, how do you know we belong here and how are we not dead?" He smiled and said "I can only answer one of your questions truthfully but the other two I can't answer but you will eventually find out those answers on your own Irama Ruomyes." I gasped asked, "How did you know?" Mr. Norihc grinned at us."I have my ways" He said, with a dramatic wave of his hand. He walked up the steps with us and Rebmis following. He opened the door and Rebmis held it as we all walked into the mansion. We walked down the long hallway in silence with Mr.Norihc occasionally pointing things out and telling us what they were or what they were for."That's the lounge where you can eat. Over there we have the magic art class where you can make your own magical items to use in battle or to help you on a daily basis." I was extremely nervous because Rebmis was walking right behind me muttering under his breath. One thing in particular I caught was "More work, yay." We reached a long staircase that parted in the middle, somewhere halfway up and went different directions. On each side of the staircase was a platform. One was empty but the other had a statue. The statue was a bronze lady."This is our other highly respected protector and warrior Anehta." The lady smiled and said  "Greetings Unwanteds. We can get to know each other at a later date. Please, enjoy yourselves here." I shook my head amazed at what I had seen and heard so far. Rebmis walked over to the other platform and leapt up unto it."Okay may I have your attention? ", Mr. Norihc asked. All of us turned toward him. "Thank you for giving me your full attention. What I am about to say is important. There are two separate hallways one for girls and the other for boys. The girls rooms are on the right and the boys rooms are on the left. Each of your doors will call out your name as you approach but some are extremely quiet so please be silent when walking down the hallways. Understand?" "Yes Mr. Norihc," we all chorused together. Then we split up girls going to the right boys going to the left. Before they went their separate ways, sisters and brothers hugged each other, boyfriends and girlfriends kissed each other goodbye, and friends waved goodbye to friends. Then we all walked our corresponding staircases and went our separate ways. My room was the third one from the staircase."Irama Ruomyes", my door called in a singsong voice."Hello," I said."Oh my you don't sound too good. Are you feeling okay?" the door asked."I'm just tired but thank you for asking. Can I go in now ", I said."Yes you sure can. And don't mind your blackboard he can be rude and annoying at times." "Thank you and good-night." "Good-night dear." I shook my head and walked into my room. My room was big and spacious. It had a bed, dresser, bathroom, and walk in closet. The rest of the wall spaced was covered in floor to ceiling bookcases with books on every self. The bookcases made me feel better because I sure wasn't going to live in this world without books. I turned around slowly taking everything in. As I turned I noticed there was only one window in the entire room. I walked over to the window and looked out. My window overlooked the Lake of Fire but from my window the lake didn't look like it had fire for water."Tomorrow if I have time I will go to the lake and see if it has fire for water." I thought."But for now I will get some rest. I have a huge day ahead of me tomorrow." I turned away from the window and walked to a bookcase. I took out the first book that caught my eye. I then walked over to my bed and set the book on it. Finally, I grabbed a pair of pajamas put them on and climbed into the bed. I picked the book up off my bed and started reading. I got to the sixth chapter before falling asleep. 

Morning arrived faster than I wanted it to. I woke up to someone yelling: "Rise & shine Irama! You need to get ready for school or you will be late! " At first I thought it was Mother telling me to get up but I remembered where I was."School ?" I thought, " but today is Saturday." I groaned and sat up."Hurry up and get dressed ! " a voice said behind me. I spun around so fast I almost fell off the bed. A blackboard was above the headboard of the bed."Was that there last night? ", I thought."Well ", the board said "Are you going to get ready for school? " "But it's Saturday ", I said."Stop your complaining," the blackboard scolded."I am Evilc and I will be your information board for the rest of your stay here. Now go get dressed slow poke." I rolled my eyes and muttered "Picky, pushy, and impatient " under my breath as I rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom."I heard that !" , Evilc yelled at my back. I sighed. After taking a shower, getting dressed, and wondering how all my clothing that I owned, including the dress from my twelfth birthday that I was wearing, had ended up in this world I made my bed. While I was making my bed Evilc kept reminding me to hurry up."You'll be late on your first day of training if you don't hurry", he chided."I know Evilc. I'm going as soon as I find a bag to carry the book that I'm reading in. I would love if you could tell me where I can find one." "Well since you asked so nicely", he said in a helpful tone that I figured wasn't going to be helpful, "There is a bag on the top shelf in the closet." "Thank you Evilc ", I said. I shook my head as I walked towards the closet. I opened the closet door and looked for the bag on the top shelf. I found the bag in a box hidden under a pile of my clothes. I took it out and closed the door. Then I walked over to my bed, picked up my book, put it inside the bag, and slung the bag up onto my shoulder. I walked to the door and opened it. Before I walked out I  said "Bye Evilc. I'm leaving now." There was silence for a minute then Evilc said "Don't die"."I didn't and won't Evilc", I replied. And I walked out of the door and closed it on Evilc saying with suspicion, "Sure you won't die".
