I continued talking to Anastasia (which I found out her name after we talked) for a while. She told me a little more about this dimension and why people live here. We all have once lived on Earth. But, Joser had made our dimension quickly and stupidly. He wanted power. He wanted to be king of the world, or just our dimension for now, and there are three gardens in our dimension, only three. Appledock and Rosemoon are populated by those who do not want to get into Joser’s army which is going to turn our world to evil. Rosemoon was created by Anastasia but evil started consuming the garden of Rosemoon which is why I was turned over to Appledock. Joser wanted to get me over in his land so he could turn me against the whole world. So far no one is in his army, but you never know when Joser will try to strike and when he will actually land his strike.
So I am going to stay with the citizens of Appledock until Joser has finally surrendered and we have all found our way back to the first world. I went to go meet the other citizens in the place you would call a dining hall. We all live under one roof like a big hotel sort of thing. This hotel is like you have ever seen before. Beautiful fixtures, lovely views, and of course the people are so nice for being shoved out of their homes for no plausible reason. Anastasia asked me, “What do you think?” I couldn’t even fathom how nice this place was. “I love this place. It’s not home but it will work for now until we can figure out how to get back home. Where am I going to be staying?” Anastasia said, “We do not have room for everyone to be in their own rooms but you can room with me. It is up on the top floor. Along with Lilia’s and Shanamias’s. We will be the ones to figure out what Joser is up too. With the help of the others.” Lilia is a wonderful girl who is about the age of fifteen who was taken by Joser when she was thirteen. She has no idea what to do to get in touch with her family. Shanamias is another girl who is at the age of nine. She is so young and so scared.
After I had got settled in my room Anastasia and I went down to the dining hall to have a nice dinner. The cook is a twenty year old from Rhode Island. He was a cook in his other life. There are so many people here from other continents such as Europe, Asia, and even Australia. We all bond so well because we are all here from the same circumstances. I picked up a plate and filled it will Fettuccine Alfredo and garlic bread. It smelled delicious. I sat down with Anastasia and Lilia. Shanamias is over talking with the cook. She is so young yet so mature and intelligent. Lilia started talking about things to do here. It is like our own little resort. Anastasia is the one who helped create all of this. Along with the council of Appledock citizens. This consists of Lucas a seventy year old who is like the mayor, Jeff who is at the age of thirty, and Rebecca who is twenty-five years old. She was one of the first to be grabbed into the hole. Her story is one of the saddest, but she won’t tell us it. She feels that is will just ruin our mission. Some people have been here for over two years and still haven’t had contact with their family.
After I had heard some of these people’s stories I had to excuse myself so I wouldn’t burst into tears at the table. “Excuse me, I will be right back”. I started running away and Anastasia came after me. “Leave me alone Anna. I just want to leave and go home.”
