Sky woke up her head was throbbing and she felt
like she was going to be sick.
Blinking she looked around the room she was in
and realize it was not her bedroom!
Another
wave of nausea washed over her as she tried to think of where she was and how
she got here! She felt different but she
was not sure how? She remembered crying
in her bedroom after another fight with her parents and then….
*rubbing her eyes she tried to think back*…..
And then that funny looking man was there
telling her she could go someone different!
Oh my god had he kidnapped her fear started to overtake her and she
could not breath! Just than the door to
the room she was in opened and the funny looking man came in wearing a lab
coat.
“Relax
little one I will not hurt you”, he said in a
calming tone. “My name is Samuel and you are on the plant called Lunar Lakes.”
*smiling warmly he handed her a cup of coca and
told her to keep taken deep breaths as he explained what was going on*
Sky was shaken but she did not think this Samuel
would hurt her, after all if he was going to do so wouldn’t he have done that
by now?
“Ok”
she said taken a sip of the rich drink. “I am listening, please go on”.
Samuel smiled and took a deep breath himself
and went on.
“Your
mother and you did not get along and she clearly had issues with you, well she
contacted my company from an ad in the paper.
We are exploring the new lands of Lunar Lakes and needed people who were
willing to move here and start over.
Since it takes a while to get here we seek out teenagers for the
program.”
Sky sat there trying to take it all in, so she
was not in Riverview anymore? Is that
why she felt differently? How long did
this “trip” here take she wondered? As
question after question swimming around in her mind she took another deep
breath.
Samuel smiled warming and gave her a minute
before he spoke again, “I know this is
hard for you”, he said. “You situation was different than most. Most teenagers know all about the program and
are in full agreement with going but when we arrived to collect you for the
program we found out your mother never told you she signed you up and that you
had no idea. This is why I asked you if
you could leave would you. I did not
have time to explain more but I wanted to you know wanted a fresh start”.
“So
my mother gave me away?” Sky said in a rather high
pitched voice.
“I
always knew she hated me but to send me to another plant!” Sky was starting
to loss it but Samuel’s every calming voice told her to keep breathing.
“I
know this is a lot to take in Samuel said but I really think you will love it
here. We have a temporary house set up
for you, which is what you are currently in, and we have builders who will work
with you to build you finally house. You
can start on any career you wish but I heard you were a very talented singer so
I hope you will continue to sing. We
have a bank account set up for you and will work on getting a car for you. I need to go take care of a few
things so I am going to give you some time to think about all that has happen.
If you need me you can reach me by dialing *77 on your phone.”
He had a very thoughtful look on his face and
as he turned to leave he looked back at a very confused Sky and said, “I promise you Skylynn your future is bright
and I really believe you will like it here” with that he walked out the door
leaving her there to take it all in.
