Snippet #1666941

A screeching sound abruptly alerted Jessica to the halting of the coach as it came upon a view she had not expected to see. Quietly she sat in her seat clutching her bag tightly to her chest nervous, just where had she ended up now? This wasn't the hotel she was supposed to go too with her friend Amy, no, this place was somewhere much different.

She was lost, again.

The sudden opening of the doors near her as she sat at the front made her jump as a tall bulky man stepped inside. His eyes were hard as they scoped around resting momentarily on her shaken form before doing the same to the other girls and boys residing within the coach as though inspecting them all. His sight alone was enough to unshakle Jess from any comfort she may have forged, this wasn't normal, she had been listening to some of the whispers of the other girls and boys, this place.... this place was definietly somewhere she should probably avoid. What did they mean by, choosing ceremony or the parade ceremony? It was all a mess of confusion within Jess's mind.

"Alright!" the sound of the bulky mans coarse voice sent Jess to jump again at its sudden eruption. "As you file off the coach state your name and then line up in an orderly fashion, I won't take any bickering or gossip as you girls always do and I expect the men to be respectable" he paused the tone in his voice as he spoke suggested he didn't like females too much or this job. "Get a move on then!" he shouted impaitent hopping back off the coach.

Jess instantly fumbled with her things gathering up her cell phone (which had died after losing signal way back in the journy) into her bag. Hesitantly she remained in her seat however, she would rather not be the first person off, it seemed like that guy was checking names off with a clipboard just outside the door of the coach. Her name wouldn't be on that clipboard.
