Thomas took a step into the dark corridor, Chancellor Paige behind him. It was hard to see anything in front of him, the only light was coming from the hallway they had left behind. Thomas had taken a few more steps when the door closed behind them. Panic shot through Thomas, making his hands go slick with sweat and the hair on the back of his neck stand up. Goosebumps formed all over his body. "Keep walking." he heard the Chancellor say.
Thomas stared, trying to let his eyes adjust to the total darkness. "I can't see. How am I supposed to get anywhere?" Chancellor Paige didn't answer. Thomas heard the click-clack of highheels on tile as she walked down the hall. Since Thomas couldn't see, he just followed the sound of shoes.
Thomas had already turned right four times, his eyes still not adjusted to the darkness. Not a word had been spoken in a long time. He was taking his fifth right turn when it hit him- four rights make a circle. He had been walking in circles. "Chancellor!' Thomas yelled, his voice echoing in the darkness, making his heart beat fast. No answer. There was just silence. The silence was so deafening that the only sound Thomas could hear was the blood rushing in his ears. He called again, but louder. There was still no answer. Thomas was getting nervous. He didn't know what was going on, and he began to panic. His heart was pounding and his head throbbed, making him feel nauseous.
Then, out of nowhere, lights shone, blinding Thomas, making his head spin. He dropped to thge ground, clutching his head in his hands. "Hello Thomas." He heard a voice say. Thomas looked up, light burning his eyes. Then his eyes adjusted revealing a sight he'd never forget. A sight burned into his mind. He looked up and saw the Creators looking down at him... and Teresa strapped to a chair behind them.
