Chapter 2 2240 Hours, September 22, 2516 (Military Calendar)/ Eridanus Star System, Eridanus 2, Elysium City
Threw the week I kept on having a recurring memory. The dream was very hazy. I was looking at a lady. She looked like the lady a few days ago that was watching us. She was looking at my face and body. She made me do things like touching toys, pressing buttons and walking to certain areas in the room. I didn't know what this dream meant at all. I was clueless. Next in the dream I started to breath heavily. I soon blacked out. Always when I woke up my bed was wet.
I didn't know what was happening to me. I was scared.
***
Three days passed. The dream stopped. I felt much better. I woke up to use the bathroom. I staggered along the hallway bumping into walls. I rubbed my eyes. I had on a blue shirt and white night pants with blue strips. I came to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. After I was done I washed my hands and closed the door behind me. I heard a sound coming from the hallway. Curious like I was, I went to check out what was making the noise. It came from down stairs. I crept across the floor so my parents would not here. They were very busy all day so they needed there sleep. I came to the stairs. I walked down them. I turned to look around the house. Before I could do anything an arm came around my shoulder and some cloth was put up to my mouth. Soon everything went blank before I could hit the floor.

My head hurt as I walked down the hallway. There were seventy-five other children accompanying me. I didn't know what was going on. All I remembered was me falling asleep and now this. A man in a black and gray suit was gripping my hand. It hurt a little but I didn't try to fight free. I knew if I did I would get hurt. Where was I? And where was my family? I asked myself. I looked to a girl beside me. She had long black hair and was crying. I tried to comfort her but the man who was holding me just yelled at me and gripped my hand even harder. Soon we entered a large room. We were walked up the stairs and sat down. We were high up. I looked through the glass and looked around. There was a stage at the front of the room and rows of seats all around. As soon as we sat down the lady that I saw at my school had began to speak.
" As per Naval Code 45812, you are hereby conscripted into the UNSC Special Project, codenamed SPARTAN II." The lady said. All of us didn't understand at what she just said but we had no choice but to listen. She paused for a little bit. I few of the kids tried to leave but the men behind us pushed them back down into there seats, a few of them gave the men a mean look. Soon the lady began to speak.
" You have been called upon to serve. You will be trained…and you will become the best we can make of you. You will be protectors of Earth and all of her colonies." I few of the kids started to sit up straight as though in interest.
" This will be hard to understand, but you cannot return to your parents." The lady said. The kids and I began to look around trying to leave. Why couldn't we see our family? I thought to myself? The men behind our seats just sat us down.
" This will become your home. Your fellow trainees will be your family now. The training will be difficult. There will be a great deal of hardship on the road ahead, but I know you will all make it." She said. All of us just stared through the glass at her in shock. I suddenly felt a heavy weight on my shoulders. I tried to speck but no words came from my mouth.
" Now rest, we begin tomorrow." The lady said.
" Fall out!" A man shouted. The man was very stern. He had on a black hat. But the other men didn't.
We all left the room scared.
