The Chosen Affinity: Uprising
1
They all said life would be better here. Trapped in a tiny train with about 6 other people. We were around 15 years old, some older, some younger, three guys and three girls. The train took off yesterday with no known location. My twin brother and I had received a letter in the mail a few weeks prior. Mine came with a one way ticket and a letter my parents had quickly snatched from me and would not allow me to read. After they had fallen asleep however, I snuck into my father’s office and read the letter. It had a soft gold border and three simple words. Don’t be late.
I repeated the words in my head that night. I had not been told anything about taking a trip. I'm a fairly smart student in school and …show more content…
He just unloaded his bag from his car and took mine from my car. He unloaded them into the minivan. My parents had said they would drive us to minimize traffic. What is all this talk about there being traffic at 2:30 am? We all climbed into the car and were on our way to the unknown. We had quickly arrived at the train station. “It looks closed” finally stated my brother.
There were four other cars in the parking lot. Kenton and I grabbed our luggage and went inside the station with the other kids. Our parents, as well as the other parents, got in their cars and left without a goodbye.
There were seven chairs in the room and only six of us. Who or what was the extra chair for? A tall man with a fair, kind face and fancy clothes told us to each sit in a chair, not look at anyone else, state our names, and give him our tickets. We all did as we were told. The man introduced himself only as Mr. Moran.
He spoke, “You are here today to board the number 7291 train, please board now and go to your assigned cabins”
We boarded quickly. And found the …show more content…
Jessica Wells was assigned cabin 3. She was not at the boarding of the train meeting or this meeting. I had just assumed she did not get her ticket in time or was too late. Mr. Moran, who i decided would sound better as Mr. Moron, gave us each a letter, ordered us to open them in our cabins, not tell anyone what your letter says, and follow the instructions thoroughly. He then left the main car. The other kids and I glanced at each other and sprinted to the cabin car.
I opened my letter inside my cabin. It was short and had very little detail. Attached to the envelope was a key on a lanyard. I wore the key lanyard and continued to read the letter again.
Dear Miss Perry,
You are on this train for a reason. You have shown strong intelligence and resistance to the rules and regulations of Roseford, Division 5. You are traveling to a nice place to spend a little time and learn advanced subject matter. Your parents have been informed about this and gave us their permission.
Have a pleasant afternoon,
James Moran
I believed none of this letter. I knew they were taking us to some sort of prison to trick us in believing what the utopia wants us to. I needed to
