Chapter two
When I woke up the sun was already high up in the sky. I looked at the clock. Almost ten. Jim will be here soon. So I got up and prepared for the day. When I finished I heard a knock on the door. 'Right on time.'- I thought.
I went and opened the door. Behind them was really Jim with little grin. Why he's so happy about?
'' Good morning Selena, how was your first night at terra nova?'' He asked. ''Cozy.'' I answered rolled my eyes. He laughed. '' Let's go his waiting.'' I stepped outside and locked the door. This time when we were walking through the town no one was looking at me, well maybe few who were suspicious about me I guess. We came back to those stairs like yesterday. Jim told me to wait again. Suddenly I got little nervous. That man was the head around here after all. This time Jim was there longer. I started to wonder if he by any chance got stuck there when he appeared in my view and told me to follow him. We entered in to office or something like that. Why do I get the feeling that I will be interrogated? In the middle was a table and behind that table sit a man. He looked a bit old probably because of his short hair with were grey, so was his beard. He had blue eye, simple dressed, he also had a dun on his left side. Come to think of it everyone had here a gun. Would I get one too?
'' Sit down miss De Le Vega.'' He told me.'' I'm Nathaniel Taylor. I've been told that you and couple of your friends were found near river. What were you doing there?'' yep interrogated.
''We were only drinking the water. But has you see here I alone, my friends didn't wanted to come here. I guess your place isn't that popular.'' Okay… what?... Good thing he didn't take this personally. He lied back in his chair and 'hummed' to himself.
'' What can you be useful to terra nova? What can you do or what were you doing before you came here?'' He asked me.
''I was a biology teacher.'' Yeah I know. Lame. He looked pleased.
''It must be my luck, our school just now needs new teacher, but unfortunately ethics teacher.'' I can pull that one.
'' I could teach that too. As far as I know it's not that hard.''
''Good, you will start tomorrow. I usually sent one of my people how new workers work, but there's no one available now so I'm going to watch your lessons.'' He explained.
''you don't trust me?'' I said before I could stop. Ups… He looked shocked but didn't say anything.
'' I'm going to call Lora she'll show you thing around.'' And he told something to one soldier and she left. To be honest I forgot all about Jim who was watching this the whole time. When I glared at him like 'where did you bring me?' he smiled at me. After some time that soldier came back with a woman I assume Lora. I stood up and we shook hands.
''Hi I'm Lora. You come with me and we going to pick some new clothes for you.'' The clothes I was with were too big for me.'' And then I'm going to show around terra nova. Ok?'' she asked.
'' Yes, of course.
When she started to push me towards door the Chief told me.
''It was nice to meet you miss De La Vega.''
''Please call me Selena.''
''In time I will.'' He told me. I wonder what that could mean. Before I could proceed my thought Lora started to talk and so I had to listen. She didn't shut up until we entered in to something like storehouse and we started to pick new clothes for me.
It was kind of fun. At least I've got one friend in here though even not real but still.
After the hours with Lora I started to explore the terra nova alone, I told Lora I want to do this by myself. The whole town was very unique. Around the big fence were houses, little more in the middle was something like market. You could buy there practically anything. And the center of terra nova was another circle. Around it in even distance were lain out rocks and in the center of that was even bigger rock. This looked amazing. I sat near the biggest rock.
I'm going to miss life in the jungle. All the meadows with flowers even I had no name for. Trees that you could believe they are holding the sky. All the birds who alerted us if something wrong happened. I will miss this all. Especially my old friends Andre Juliann Raymond. It wasn't much of us but we always had a great time. Of course before Raymond loose his mind and became the angriest guy on the whole universe. Good times.
When they started to light up all the lights I decided to go home. '' I hope I didn't forget which way I live.'' I thought. That would be the most embarrassing thing. So I dot up and started to the right direction. I think, when the chief Taylor it self stopped me.
'' Lost?'' He asked. Maybe…
''No… I just thought I could explore this place…'' I tried to explain myself. He didn't buy it.
'' How about I escort you to your house miss De La Vega.'' He offered.
'' that would be… Great. And please call me Selena or miss Selena if you want but not De La Vega.'' I told him.
'' Is it something wrong with your last name?'' He continued asking me. I was quiet for a while so we started to walk toward my home (totally different direction) and I started to tell him my life story.
''There's nothing wrong with my last name, just it brings me old painful memories of my life..''
''You were married?'' He interrupted.
'' No. de L Vega is my dad's name. My mother died when she was giving birth to me little sister, Esperanza, when I was only three years old. I don't remember much of my mother.'' I stopped.
'' And your father ?'' Taylor asked.
''he was with us for fifteen years. He was murdered. So me and Esperanza left home and gone to the city. I got a teaching job and we lived there for five years until I met Andre. He offered us free tickets to ' A Fresh Start' and we aggraded and the next day we were in the 'past'. There we met Juliann and Raymond. We arrived in the middle of meadow and we were the only people there. So we just went to the jungle and tried to survive. We were like this for four years until we meet sixers…''
''Did you joined them?'' He interrupted again.
''No, instead of offering us to join them they attacked us. That's the day when I saw my sister last time. I have no idea where she is or is she even alive. I know just one thing that she escaped from sixers. I heard that when I wanted to rescue her but it was necessary because she was long gone. We could find her after awards. Neither could she. I don't know why she didn't find us or even waited for me. Anyway we continued searching for terra nova. Funny, when we finally found it only I and Andre wanted to go there, but here I'm alone.'' I finished.
We were already at my house door. But Chief didn't go. He had something in his hand. He got closer and took my hand gently. He putted that something in it.
'' I'm sorry for what you been throw. I hope this helps.'' He said and walked away. In my hand I was holding a brooch amulet. Wait… I recognized this. This is my families' symbol. A flying hummingbird. Mine and my parents brooches got destroyed only my sisters not. This was my sisters' brooch. But…
How Taylor got this?
