Chapter 2: Columbia

When I passed out, I dreamed that a was in dark room with no windows or doors. I started to yell but no sound came out. I looked around, trying to find a way out, and a door appeared. It looked like one from those old detective movies. I opened the door and saw my uncle, Booker Dewitt, on a wooden chair with a very sad face.

In a raspy voice, he said " Help me". That's when I woke up.

I woke up in small pool filled with holy water in a nice garden with statues, flowers and priests praying. I turned my head and saw my sister soaking wet. In this kind of situation, we had no idea what to do. We walked out of the pool, soaking, and sat down on the bench to try and dry off.

'' That was the worst baptizing ever'' I said.

'' Look on the bright side.'' Amy said.

'' Which is?''

'' Its better than being crucified.''

I laughed a little bit and Amy finally cracked some sort of a smile since the whole trip. As we were talking, another priest with brown hair and a moustache walked up to us and said...

'' Hello young children. Would you like to look at my holy garden?''

'' No thank you.'' I said.

'' How about you take a wonderful walk in the streets of Columbia?'' said the priest.

'' I said...wait. What's Columbia?'' I said.

'' You don't know? Columbia is a beautiful city filled with men and women who believe in the glorious prophet! A place where everyone can express the Holy Spirit." He said.

After describing this wonderful city, I was sold.

" Ummm...how do we get there?" Amy said.

The priest pointed behind us and said...

" Beyond that gate is the beautiful city of Columbia. Please walk through it and may The Lord watch over you".

When he said that, I thought of danger. We were just launched from a lighthouse and landed in a church in the middle of the sky. What else would happen? We walked towards the gate and opened it, amazed at what we saw. A beautiful city with classic brick buildings with flowers pots on the balconies. The sound of violin music whisked through the air as people with wonderful outfits sat outside shops and sat on benches, talking about Father Comstock or whatever. Little kids were playing games like hop scotch, laughing at each other with smiling faces.

" Wow." I said. This place makes the church look like a kids playground.

We started walking down the street, but we stopped when we looked down. This city was completely in the sky. Some kind of rockets and gears were keeping this place airborne. A man with a small beard and a bowler hat walked up to us and said...

" You ain't afraid of heights, are ye?". It sounded like he had a western accent.

Me and my sister just walked away from the man, looking at him with curious faces. We looked around, amazed at everything we saw. In the centre of the city, there was a huge statue, surrounded by couples having picnics.

" Maybe this is where he went." I said.

Amy looked at me curiously and said " Who?"

" Our uncle. Maybe he disappeared here. Do you think..."

" Could you please stop talking about that?! Face it Jack! He gone!"

I looked away from my sister, giving a sad, depressed look. I thought about my uncle. He was the most nicest Uncle I've ever known, and now he's might be gone forever.

" I'm sorry about that. It's just that we had to go on this long trip and finding this amazing city...I just had to let it all out." Amy said.

" It's alright." I said, " I'm also pretty stressed out too."

" Hey...what's this?" She said. She pointed to a sign. It said " JOIN THE RAFFLE".

" What raffle?" I said.

" Beats me. But look! There's some kind of celebration."

It was true. Around the corner I saw carnival tents and people laughing and playing games.

" Come on. Let's check it out." I said as we headed toward this weird carnival. I looked around and saw amazing things. I saw electric horses carrying carriages with people with smiling faces. I saw posters and games beyond anything that I have ever scene.

" Hot dogs! Hot dogs! Get precious columbian hot dogs here!" Said a hot dog vendor.

I walked up to him and said, " Two hot dogs please. One with mustard and the other with ketchup."

" Two hots dogs coming right up!" He said.

He must've caught my eye, because he started to give me this weird curious look.

He said " Excuse me..If you don't mind me asking..but are you from around here?"

I looked at him and started to sweat. I had no idea what to say. I was worried that if I said that we were not from here, we would get in deep trouble. Right before I was about to say something, Amy spoke up.

" Of course were are. We live across the street. We're just taking a stroll around this carnival." She said.

" Alright. We'll here are your hot dogs. That'll be 6.00 please." He said.

I gave him the money and we left. Although we were really far away, he was still starting at us, like we were aliens from another planet. We continued to finish our hot dogs, trying to avoid the hot dog vendor. As we looked around, we saw some kind of presentation. What really amazed me at the presentation was when men in weird juggler costumes came out of the back and started to summon fireballs and float in mid-air. Then a man with a huge moustache, a brown coat and a top hat came from the stage and said...

" Hello there ladies and gentlemen! Welcome! Welcome! Now if you wish to fly into the sky, would you? If you wish to control machines with your mind, would you? But wait. You can't! Well now, you can with the amazing power of Vigors! Created and produced by the one and only Jeremiah Fink!"

Everyone started to clap and cheer. If someone invented a way for people to have superpowers, I would go crazy too.

'' Hey! Take a look at this!'' I said. I pointed to the posters next to the stage.

'' Shock Jockey? Bucking Bronco? Man, this is freaky.'' Amy said.

We walked away from the posters and started to play games. I started to shoot moving targets with some huge blaster while Amy was playing a '' Find the Devil'' game with some other guy with a huge beard and a top hat. We were having the time of our lives. After the games, we continued to walk down the street until we bumped into this woman with brown hair and a American-themed dress.

'' Oh! Sorry about that." I said.

'' No worries. Lots of people bump into me. Hey, would you like a sample?" she said. I didn't noticed it, but she had a basket tied to her neck filled with green bottles. The basket had a sign that said " FREE SAMPLE''.

" Sure." I said as I took a bottle. Amy took one too and we drank it. It tasted like a glass of soda.

" Man, this is very good. What's this drink called?'' I said.

'' It's called Possession.'' she said.

At that moment, I realized that Possession is one of the vigors that was in the presentation. Then I started to feel weird. My vision started to get green and fuzzy. My muscles felt so relaxed and I really wanted to sit down. I looked around and everyone looked like tiny green blobs. After 2 minutes, the effects wore off. It was so strange...

We walked away from the lady and kept going. We walked towards a huge bronze gate and were about to open it when two men in dark brown police suits walked up to us and said...

" Sorry about this kids, but your coming with us."
