A/N: Well, I really wanted to post this chapter, because I know that its more exiting to read a story with many chapters to begin with. A new character is introduced in this chapter, and I'm sorry if its short. Oh and this chapterIS NOT from Aidan's POV. And a big thank you to all those who are reading this right now.
Review please? *happy little smile*
Istood in front of the large screen, palms sweating, legs tapping nervously. The screen in front of me showed the on-goings of Group A. I would be heading there, in an hour or so.
The people on screen were going about their business, oblivious to what was happening outside their glade. I worked for WICKED. We had been sending subjects into the 'glade' as they called it, for two years now. And finally, it was my turn.
Teresa would have been in my place, but she fell drastically ill and was now in the hospital. So here I was, waiting to have my memory wiped, waiting to be sent into a place filled with fifty other boys, and one young girl.
I'd always anticipated this day, but now that it was here, I couldn't help but panic. I would lose my memory within the next three hours. I wouldn't remember my name, or anything else about myself. The only memory WICKED had agreed to let me keep was that of my brother, Matthew. He's been the most recent to go, along with his best friend, Alexis.
I peered at the screen, spotting both of them instantly. Despite my state, I hid a smile. My brother's adorable face was almost enough to cheer me up. At three years younger than me, he was a mere thirteen year old, with a cute boyish face, tousled blond hair, and green eyes. But it didn't matter how beautiful his eyes were, he'd never be able to see through them, being born blind.
My eyes drifted to another subject. He'd caught my eye the first time he'd gone up, and now he walked with a strange limp. I didn't remember how he'd gotten that, but it didn't matter now. I'd always admired how this one kept his cool during crisis.
I was so caught up in my thoughts, that I didn't see the woman in a gray uniform walk in. "Miss Hope LaFey, Chancellor Paige would like to see you now." She spoke in a crisp formal manner.
I got up, and went into the room adjacent the one in which I had been sitting. This room was completely white, and so was the woman sitting at the centre of it. "Chancellor Paige." I said, nodding. I turned to the man sitting next to her, and scowled. "Jansen." I'd disliked him from the beginning, and the feeling hadn't changed in the tiniest since.
"Quiet Hope. We do not have much time. Before you go through the swipe, I would like to tell you a few things, though I am fully aware that you will not remember a word of it later on." She sighed and continued, " As you know, your name will be changed. Your brother, formerly called Matthew, is now known as Aidan. The name chosen for you is Kyra."
I kept my face blank, not willing to show an emotion. Kyra seemed like a nice name, but I'd always prefer Hope.
"You also know that you will be sent to group A. Your brother has already been sent up, along with Alexis Waters, now called Lee. However, unlike them, and all the others, you will be unconscious during the trip of the box. We suspect you will wake up at their infirmary, with your memory wiped clean. Also, we will merely leave the memory which allows you to recognize Aidan as your brother, with that name, not Matthew. Are you ready?"
Does it matter?,I thought, but I simply nodded. "Come right this way." Jansen escorted me to the room beside the one I was standing in now, sneering while doing so. I bit my lip in an attempt to not cuss.
Medical equipment lined the walls in this one. Before I could get a view of the whole room, though, I was led to a bed, and made to lie down. Jansen stood beside me, sneering worse than ever. "Don't mess this up LaFey." He said, " I won't make it easy for that brother of yours if you do."
Before I could retort, something was injected into my arm, and I could feel myself losing consciousness.
The last thing I remembered was the blinding light of the hospital room, before darkness sucked me in.
A/N: So? Whaddya guys think of my new OC? I'm really sorry that I'm excluding Chuck and Teresa, but its essential to the story. I hope you can forgive me. *mentally slaps self for doing this*
Please review and tell me what you think of Kyra!
Oh and I also edited this chapter and the ones before it. I'm extremely sorry for all the typo errors. I hope you can forgive me. I also hope I've gotten all of them….
I'll try to make no errors from now on… I promise…
