NIPD: Team Alpha

Name

Then I shake my head.

The two boys beside me just look to each other with confuse expression on their face.

*****************

Four A.M. is the required time we wake up every day, but since we're done on our training, is it still applied on us?

I am waiting to the regular alarm that signals us to walk out to our room for the morning workout outside the building.

And since there's still no alarm yet, I made myself lazy. I just lay flat on my bed and stare at the ceiling. The happenings yesterday came back in to my mind.

What happen to me yesterday? I never panic on my entire life, because we are trained for that. But in just one wink of fucking Chase, I panic.

I Skye, one of the top students of NIPD got panic in one wink.

WHY? I whisper to myself.

I close my eyes and groan.

And then it hit me. Hard.

Seven years ago

The time when I think what will be my name.

I like it to be special. Like no one will ever forget, even I am not with them.

Bell?- As my favorite Fairy tale character, No.

Tris?- My favorite movie character in Divergent, big No.

Becca?- My favorite singer in Pitch Perfect, hell NO.

I groan on the thought, I really don't know what will be my identity.

I stair on the wall, then remember the guy earlier when I am looking at the sky. His eyes are like the color of the sky. Blue like sky. Clearer like a sky. Sky. Sky. Sky.

"Sky!" My eyes widen and I smile. I lay on the bed. "My name is Sky." I said to myself. Yes it is nice and unique.

Sky.

But still sounds common. How will I make it my own?

"Maybe I can add E."

I realized, Yeah. I need to put E on my name to remind me my real name.

Eliz.

Even I will make my life new, my name new, I still need a reminder to remind me that my real name is Eliz. And if ever, maybe someday, I need to go back I still know my name.

I stand and grabbed the notepad on the table and start to open it.

The notepad open with NIPD logo on its wallpaper with only three icons on the screen, settings, recycle bin and again NIPD icon with its logo. I touch the NIPD icon with my pointing finger.

'Welcome to NIPD E-data.' A female voice sounds in the notepad. 'Please register your data, before you proceed' it continue, then a lot of data that you need to fill out appears.

Start to fill up.

Name: Skye

Birthday: October 7, 1994

Gender: Female

Orphanage: St. Mary

Room Number: 725

That is the basic data that they asked, and a lot more. My brain drained from the question up to the end. Most of the question is the life we experienced in the orphanage and outside it. Since most of the memories outside the orphanage I haven't remembered anymore, I just answered it No or I don't know.

And since when I click the Submit button, the last thing I saw is the word Accepted and Welcome.

I exhaled. Thank God.

After the typing and the exhausted fill ups I felt my tummy rumble.

I am starving.

Where can I even find food to eat here?

Are they for free?

I don't have money to pay them.

Maybe I can wash the dishes to pay for what I had cost them.

Deciding to find food to eat, I tried to find some cloths to change. Since I wear my flowery shirt and jeans from the orphanage.

I reach my mini closet beside my bed and open it.

Inside, is at least five same kind of cloths.

Five White and gray shirt , black six packet jeans and a black jacket.

I pull the gray V-neck shirt and black six packet jeans and wear it. And to top it all I tie my hair in to a pony tail.

I think the cloths are really meant for me, since it is really fits me. Tying my hair, accidentally, my gaze went to my feet. I have nothing to wear. I don't have shoes aside from the sandals that Mother Sarah gave me last month.

But since all the things are available inside my room, I start to search if there's a proper foot wear that we need to use. There's no other cabinet anymore and the only thing that came to my mind is to search below my bed.

And there she is.

A two Shoe boxes that are neatly filed. Each box contains combat shoes. I tried one by one and they all fit me. Nice.

When I think I am already ready, I stand in front of the door and exhale before I swipe the card in the bio-metric panel beside the door.

I nearly jump when instead the bio said my room number, the word that came on it is 'Skye' .

I smile from the thought that my name came from, is not just because the Sky is blue, but because the guy I saw earlier has blue eyes color like the sky.

'Yeah!He's handsome. We can be friends someday, maybe.' I told myself.

Stepping outside my room I hold my chest, exhaling and inhaling in the process to ease my throbbing heart.

I look at the glass wall. And since, it is already dark outside I can already see my reflection. 

I looked different.

I looked strong.

"I am Skye, not Eliz anymore." The sound of my new name seem strange, but gives me courage to move forward.

Reaching the elevator, the man standing in front of it earlier when I got in are still there. Is he even get out from that elevator?

"Where are you going?" He asked When I reached him

"A-Ahm! W-where can I get food to eat?" Shocks! I felt my voice trembled.

He press the open button of the elevator and the door slid open. "The cafeteria is in fourth floor, press the number 4." The man said, whit a smirk

I get inside elevator and press the number 4, then the door start to close and descent.

***End of Chapter***

Have you figured out what is the look of Skye wearing the NIPD uniform?

Oh! Jeeeez. I don't know what came to my mind to write the 'throw back' of this chapter.

But do you like it? Please say something okay?

Criticism is acceptable.

I said Criticism, not bullies, got it?

Thank you!
