Chapter Nine- The Lies

I woke up and for the first time in the last week I actually remembered where I was. I've stayed at the rebel headquarters but each morning I always seem to wake up disorientated. Sometimes it lasts for minutes, sometimes seconds. All I care about is that for once it didn't happen. For once I woke up without an ounce of fear, ready for the day. It's been so long I kinda forgot how it felt. It felt so good.

The past week has been uneventful. After Georgia found me and showed me around I went straight to my family. After I found them I became acquainted with the place. It's pretty boring when you're not a rebel with a schedule but I do what I can. I have three meals a day and wear the clothes that I'm given. I follow the rules but people still treat me like I'm a fragile piece of glass and if they say the wrong things I'll break. I can't help but feel like everyone is keeping something from me. Every time I ask about what happened or what is happening outside of this building I hear the same old stories. The same old lies but today is the day I finally find out the truth. Today is the day I talk to Georgia and find out what happened. What REALLY happened. The only problem is finding her.

I figure you've gotta start somewhere so I get dressed and go to breakfast. She not usually there but I thought I'd give it a try. I walk in, grab my cereal, and eat. I'm surprised that the rest of the family isn't down here already but it's a Sunday, the only day that you can sleep past seven. I guess they decided to sleep in. After I finish my cereal I wait for a little bit just in case Georgia also decided to sleep in which is unlikely. After twenty minutes I decide she's not coming. Time to check the next location, the weapons vault.

Once a week Georgia takes inventory of all the weapons. It's Friday and she still hasn't done it. Hopefully I catch her on her way out or in. I come up to the vault. No Georgia. I look around and wait for awhile. Maybe she'll come a little later?

"Can I help you?" The security guard asks. Right the security guard! I totally forgot about him!

"Yeah. Have you seen Georgia? Do you know when she's coming?"

"Georgia? She came this morning, said she had something to do later today."

"Oh ok thanks. If you see her can you tell her that America needs to talk to her?"

"Sure."

"Thanks for your help."

Where now? That was literally my only plan. These rebels really know how to keep a secret. I never know where any of them are half the time. I guess I can just go to lunch. Maybe she'll be there. I walk into the cafeteria,get my food, and eat. Suddenly I see Georgia running towards me. At lunch? Really? Who would've thought that it'd be this easy.

"America! I've been looking for you all day!"

"What? What's happening?"

"America, we need to talk."

Thanks for reading!
