Their new lives began in a dusty, smelly metal cage. It was pitch black but they could easily tell they were trapped. Luna whimpered fearfully as she struggled to stand up by gripping the cool walls tightly.
"Help!" She yelled her voice echoing against the deafening metal against metal creaking. She was able to stand for nearly 20 seconds before painfully falling flat on the ground.
"Who's in here?" Luna heard another voice ask. It was a girls voice and by the sound of it she was no farther then 10 feet away.
"Just me" Luna's raw voice surprising herself. She began to wave her hand in the darkness, in a pathetic attempt to grasp whoever was talking to her.
"No there's another one, she's passed out on my lap" the voice said. Luna groaned and slammed her back against the metal wall, trying to wake up from this nightmare. Her head buzzed from the pain. She pinched herself till it left marks, her arm was completely covered in nail marks and a heating pain. Fear struck her when she realized this is reality.
"Where are we?" She murmured aloud.
"How should I know?" The voice snapped back. Not even a quiver of fear was heard from her. Luna squeezed her eyes shut -even though it was already dark- and racked her brain to remember something. Anything. But only one word came to mind. Luna. It must be my name she thought to herself. But why couldn't she remember anything else? Parents?Family? Friends?
Luna curled into a ball, trembling with terror when the shaft violently halted to a stop. "Another one?" "Two greenies in a row?" Male voices chattered from above.
With a metallic scrape, the doors opened above them and light flooded into the "room", nearly blinding the two girls. Luna froze like a deer in headlights, the other girl defiantly squinted against the brightness holding her hand up to shield the light as a boy jumped in and stared at her curiously. "Holy....". "No way" voices murmured above.
Neither girl could get a clear view of what was happening, they saw silhouettes of two figures hovering above, looking down at them.
"Two years, nothing different, now this" Alby said towards the group of boys who were eagerly gathered around wanting to figure out who was in there. Normally it was a greenie a month, not a greenie every two days. Everyone snapped their heads at a confused Thomas. "I'm just as confused as you are" he said at the accusing stares.
Alby and Gally jumped into the lift. "There's three girls!" Gally yelled in surprise that there was more then one. The mob of boys erupted into conversations as they crowded the doors, struggling to see the three girls.
"Who are you? Do you remember your name?" Alby asked the strawberry-blonde who had a girl passed out on her lap. She paused for a moment before responding "Im Ally" she said. "In case your wondering I don't know who this sleeping beauty is, nor did I have anything to do with it. I think." Ally said motioning to the black haired girl knocked out on her lap.
All the while Gally wrapped rope around the "sleeping beauty" while gently lifting her off of Ally's lap.
Newt hopped in and held his hand out for Luna, who shyly took it.
"I'm Luna but I honestly don't remember anything" she said as she was led out of the shaft and onto the glade grounds. "Give em room!" Newt shouted as he led the two girls to Thomas. "You know em?" Newt asked. Thomas stared at them, thinking "no" he said. Boys stared at the two girls, making Luna feel uncomfortable.
The third girl landed on the grass, everyone made room for Ally, and Luna. They all stared at the "sleeping beauty". She had a flawless complexion with her pale skin and black hair.
"Greenie, over here" Newt called to Thomas. Luna plopped down on the grass and observed her closely, Ally doing the same. Sickening realization flooded over Luna as she didn't see her breath.
"You know her?" Newt asked the the three greenies. Ally opened her mouth to speak when she was interrupted by the ground rumbling beneath them. The people standing all hobbled over, trying to regain their balance, a few boys fell to the ground.
Sleeping beauty shot up into a sitting position, green vines shooting up from the ground and wrapping around her arms. More vines looped in and out of the ground circling around her in a supernatural way. They couldn't believe their eyes. Sleeping beauty's piercing blue eyes roamed around the frozen crowd and landed squarely on the three newbies. Luna gripped onto a vine tightly staring back into her eyes, goosebumps ran up her arm.
Her eyes turned into an emerald green as she said five haunting words.
"Everything is going to change" with that she fell back into the ground. As her back collided with the grass a ripple of green light seemed to shoot out of her body.
Everyone stood there motionless, as if they would die where they stood if they moved. Another vine, this one covered with dead flowers wrapped around her tightly closed fist. Ally boldly looked up at the crowd, and after a quick nod from Alby she reached forward and opened sleeping beauty's closed fist. A crumpled up piece of paper laid there. Ally grabbed it and opened it. It read
Their the last ones.
Forever
