A Nation Divided

This is a story about how a young 13 year old girl changed a world. Not just any world mind you. A world where multicolored animals play. A place you never thought possible. This is the story of Jamaa. This is my story.

 

I logged onto Animal jam on my Windows 10 computer. I spun the wheel, getting 3 diamonds, I grinned, happy. I was a member with all the Diamond Shop things, even Animals so, this didn’t matter much. I was going to go to my den when I noticed there was a banner above the Diamond Shop door. It said: New Limited Item! Only available for One Hour! I went inside the Diamond Shop, expecting it to be crowded but, It was only me. Wierd. I ignored it, putting it in the back of my mind. I clicked on the item stand and saw only one item. I clicked i, seeing it was called: Crystal Necklace. I clicked buy and entered my inventory and put it on. Then, suddenly my screen went black. My Computer screen started cracking. “Mom! Mom, the screen is broken! Mom?” Then I remembered. My Mom was with my dad looking for a new car. There was a sudden shattering sound. I looked back at my screen seeing a dark void. A strong wind came from the screen and started to pull me in. I grabbed onto my chair screaming. “Help! Help!!” I finally realized that, nobody was going to help me. It was a ghost town. I closed my eyes and let go and let the strong force take me, take me somewhere that wasn’t here.

 

I opened my eyes seeing a familiar town. Then it hit me. I was in Jamaa! I looked down, I was a Fox! I was somehow bleeding. I looked up again seeing a fox run up to me. “Oh Mira! Are you ok? I saw you fall from the sky. I’ll get a doctor.. Hold on!!”  There were a penguin that was grey with dark blue eyes. They ran off and came back with a white fox with red stripes. It had a nurse bag in her mouth. “Ok, don’t move I’m going to carry you to the hospital..” I closed my eyes in pain as she picked me up by the scruff. She carried me to a big den and laid me on a bed. She got a needle and put it in my neck. I slowly closed my eyes as she pushed it in.

 

I woke up on the same bed with the doctor sitting by a table typing on a computer. “Oh you’re awake! It’s been 3 days. About time you woke up.” She walked up smiling. “I’m Infinity. What’s your name?” I stumbled. Should I tell her? She won’t believe me…”I’m Snowflake.. I’m.. new to Jamaa…” Infinity grinned. “Well, here’s a bin of clothes. Get dressed and you’re free.” She turned then stopped.”Oh, and by the way.. be careful.. Jamaa isn't what it used to be..” Infinity left the room closing the door. I dug around in the bin finding a Phantom Necklace, Elf bracelets, a holiday sweater, and a Rare Fox hat. I put it on and walked out. Outside there was a Black wolf in a purple police hat and white leaf bracelets. I walked up to him. “Um, excuse me. I-” I was cut off as he spoke. “You’re the new fox eh? Falling into Jamaa isn’t really a civil way to enter a new country ya know. Well, anyways There is sections for each species. Stay in your group area at all times unless allowed otherwise by your group official. Breaking of these rules ends in serious consequence.” I nodded and looked around, confused.

 

I saw A sign that had ‘Fox Area’ on it and followed it. I went into an area that was the Fox Area. It was Coral Canyons. I stepped over a red line that was outside the entrance. A alarm sound filled the air and a metal cage fell over me. A male fox with a tuxedo and a fedora on walked up.”You’re the newcomer, eh?” I nodded. He grinned with mischief and reached through the bars and put paw cuffs around my paws. The cage lifted and he grabbed my chains and brought me to the middle of the area. Foxes gathered around me, scared and worried looks on their faces.

 

I began to wonder what happened to Jamaa. Why was everyone split up? Why wasn’t everyone together and happy? I have to figure it out, soon..

 

The fox brought out a megaphone, and he pressed a button, speaking out of it.” Listen up, furbags!!” He said, meanly.” You have a new member of your town, treat her well.” He looked at me, smiling, unlike he was before. It was more of a smile of...happiness?
