Princes and princesses

5up

We stopped once we were back inside the white hallway. We headed back towards the rooms that we had figured out. Hafu nudged me towards the door next to mine. On the right side of the hallway was my door and a door right next to it.

The name Dakotaz was printed on it and I glanced at Hafu. She nodded to me and I opened the door handle. I was greeted with a sharp point from a knife in my face.

Not just any knife though, Dakotaz's knife. I threw my hands up in surrender and Hafu remained behind me with wide eyes. Steven stared at us with wide eyes. After it registered in their minds, Dakotaz lowered his knife.

He moved out of the doorway and let us come in. He sat back down next to Steven and both boys stared at us.

"Are you two alright?" Hafu asked.

"I guess so. No harm has come to us yet," Steven responded with. I sighed and glanced around Dakotaz's room. It looked the same as his on earth.

"Freaky right?" He asked me and I nodded.

"So how do we get off this planet or whatever?" I finally asked. Both boys looked taken aback at the fact that I knew we were on a different planet. "Me and Hafu have already explored. Cafeteria by the way is slightly creepy," I say. Steven nodded quickly.

"Tell me about it. The robot literally scanned me and said my name,"

"What?" Hafu asked with a head tilt. "The plates disappeared once we ate," she said. At this point I was pretty sure that Steven had lost it.

"Your parents are worried about you. Last we saw they were on the news," I say and lean against a wall. Steven and Dakotaz shared a glance filled with worry.

"I feel bad man. Like I didn't get an option in being sent here but still wish I could've gotten in contact before I disappeared," Steve said and stared at the ground. Dakotaz frowned and sighed.

"We have to escape," he muttered and I remembered the signs in the hallway.

"And leave everyone else here? I think we need the others to escape," I said. Hafu nodded and sat down onto the floor.

"Dakotaz, how did you know we were there?" She asked. Dakotaz gave us a sheepish smile and played with his closed knife.

"I had been pacing and I heard the door rattle. I couldn't tell who it was so...." he murmured and Steven scoffed.

"Seriously. Wait, there's a pattern to how we're appearing right? Me, Dakotaz, you two. Do you think the two next door to you will be here next?" Steven asked me. I shared a glance at Hafu and shrugged.

"It's a possibility but unlikely. I have a feeling they don't want us getting to comfortable here," Hafu said and glanced around the replica of Dakotaz's room.

"Alright. I say we go outside and actually inspect everything," I said and moved away from the wall. Hafu stood and followed me quickly with Dakotaz and Steven right behind her.

"Oh, fair warning though. Don't touch the fences," Steven said and Dakotaz snorted with laughter. I could hear Hafu giggle a little and we walked back out of the long white hallway.

Steven pushed to the front and I figured he probably knew more as I think he had been here longer. We followed Steve straight before he stopped in front of a fence.

"That's the end of our adventure this way. There seems to be one right behind the cafeteria and one behind the what's it called? Yard I guess," he said and looked towards us

"Where does it end behind the hallway?" Hafu asked and Dakotaz walked closer to the fence without touching it.

"I have no clue. My guess it at the very end or so," Steven said with a small shrug. I sighed and looked around.

"You think we can find the electrical box for this?" Dakotaz asked. Steven shrugged.

"I haven't looked around all that much. Let's split up. Might go quicker," Steven said. I glanced at my four allies and nodded.

"Everyone should take a side. Steven, stay here and look around. Dakotaz, take the cafeteria, Hafu, take the yard. I'll check the hallway and make sure no one else appears," I ordered as I was the oldest. Only by a few months but still.

I headed back to the hallway and started to look around outside. I decided to take a peek at the other names on the doors. I recognized most kingdoms but not all the names.

I frowned and looked at the doors next to mine and Hafu rooms. Koji from Capwich Kingdom and Ellum from Dayley Kingdom. I know that the kingdoms were across a continent I just couldn't ever tell them apart.

I readjusted my crown and moved away from the sign. Ellum was roomed next to Hafu and I was roomed next to Koji. I tried to recall if I had ever met them but I couldn't remember. I don't think I did.
