Chapter 2 The Announcements I have completely woken up now, so I decided to watch my favorite movie, Bridge to Terabithia. I saw that on Netflix it had a 2-year subscription. “How long do they bleeping think I’m gonna be here?” I said. But I didn’t say bleeping. I heard something out the window. I clicked off the T.V. and looked out the window. Dr. Ivy, or Ivory, or whoever that #YouDon’tNeedToHearThisWord inhumane creature was, was talking. She was holding a megaphone? What kind of ******* place was this? I twirled my strawberry-blonde hair as I looked out the window with my blue-green eyes. I thought about Lori. She was probably worried sick. I dialed 911. “This number is blocked in this area. Sorry.” the automated voice said. “Okay, we’re in a different country. Very different from Wisconsin.” I said. I looked on google maps. But when I opened it up, it said in graffiti: Joke’s on you! Haha! Ohmygod, I can’t believe it. Now I looked out the window again and saw bamboo. I’m in Asia! This news stunned me. Closer to finding out where the heck I am. Dr. Ivory started: “Announcement One- Once you kill someone, you are “Healed" and can go home- that is, if you can remember what home is. If you are killed, you are dead by the disease.” She chuckled as she listened to teens screaming. She started again. “Announcement Two- None of you were actually sick. You are chosen.” I wondered what this meant. Soon she walked into my room. “Hello, Rori. Your new name is Liramara. Li-ruh-mah-ruh. Get it? It’s your new IDENTITY. Have fun!” I realized what this meant. We were going to go by our identity, then forget who we actually are. Oh, my God, We are forgetting our normal Identity. I was terrified. I saw a boy. “Hi, I’m Soo. But my birth name is Jason. I don’t know who I am!” “Oh,” I replied. “My birth name is Rori. But I’m supposed to be Liramura.” We chuckled. He took me for lunch, and we called each other by our Birth Names. Jason was funny and kind, and said I was independent and sweet. We ended hanging out together every day, and soon he was my safe spot. I think I like him.
Thanks to @Larliebug for the idea! Lots of thanks to all of you :3
