Chapter 1 - The Elevator

The faint light from the top of the tunnel was now barely visable from the bottom of the shaft, Niall was squinting as hard as he could, yet all he could see was a small square of what was left of the illumined world above.

He couldn't remember anything of the world he was taken away from, no. although he did remember that the light meant safety. It was ingrained in him, every fiber of his being itched to get back to the top. Into the comforting embrace of the sun, To soak in the heat from the bright light in the beautifully painted blue sky.

A small shadowy figure stepped into the space above the shaft, interrupting Niall's thoughts, on what seemed to be a glass casing and waved down at him. Confused, Niall waved back at the figure who seemed to be pulling something out from behind them, the figure held a small object in their hands before dropping it down a slot in the side wall.

Niall let out a short squeak at how fast the object was plumiting towards him but managed to catch it.

A torch? Turning it in his hands, Niall took note of a small piece of tape attached to the flashlights head. Flicking the switch from off to on the small strip of tape was illuminated in the dull yellow light.

The wall in front of him was lit up, the clawed up cement walls becoming more noticeable. A few shadowy letters appeared on the wall. confused, Niall turned the torch around to see dark bolded letters written on the masking tape. 'He Awakens'

'He? Whose HE?!' Niall internally screamed at himself, he started to feel himself hyperventilate until relized that he had just woken up. Niall wanted to smack himself in the face, 'I'm so stupid' he thought, peeling the masking tape from the head of the flashlight.

Looking back up Niall saw the figure wave again before pointing down at him, shortly after that a metal door sealed over the glass floor the man was stood on, cutting off Niall's view of not only the man, but possibly the last ray of sunlight he would ever see again.

Niall whined, a needy and high pitched sound slipping through his trembling lips, Slapping a calloused hand over his mouth Niall remembered the note and tried to silence his small miniscule noises.

A low rumble echoed around the small closed in room before he could feel a shift in the ground, looking down at the elevator floor Niall relized it was starting to head back towards the enterance. Relief flooded through Niall as the platform rose away from the slime infested cement floors. Slowly the dark opening disappeared behind the walls of the elevator shaft, 'Was this all a prank?' Niall thought. Watching the paterns in the walls move downwards instead of upwards like when he first saw them.

A loud expell of steam frightened niall enough to make him jump, a mechanical sound (like that of the blow dryers turning on in an automatic car wash) of a turbine cranking to life echoed in the narrow shaft before the platform Niall stood on rocketed towards the top, the sudden jolt causing Niall to crumple to the ground.

The blonde haired boy was layed out on his back, his legs in an uncomfortable and unnatural position underneath him, the speed of the elivator immobilizing him. He watched with fearful eyes as the metal doors which sealed no more then a few moments earlier drew closer and closer towards him, the elevator only increasing in speed with each second that ticked by.

Niall knew he had to act fast, otherwise he was about to become a human pancake. Noticing a small opening in the wall towards the top of the shaft Niall came to the realization that he was going to have to jump. 'I need to make it.'

Rolling onto his stomach Niall was barely able to get his footing before another jolt of speed had him falling back against the floor. Glancing back up, Niall's tummy did a flop as he noticed he was only about 20 feet away from the metal doors and 18 feet away from his only chance to survive. Pushing with every ounce of strength in his body, Niall managed to set himself in a crouched position before leaping with all his might towards the hole.

No luck, Niall had fallen short. The speed of the elevator being too much to fight, Niall let out the loudest and most terrified scream he could manage. Not that it lasted, the air was being sucked from his lungs and past his parted lips. He couldn't breath, he couldn't even close his mouth, he was suffocating! With his mind screaming for oxygen he suddenly found a burst of strength he never knew he possessed. Niall stood up on the fast moving platform, steadying himself with his arms out wide, his clothes flapping wildly in the wind along with his hair in every which way.

Niall knew this was his last attempt, with the hole only 3 feet away the boy yelled and flung himself at the diviot.

Cruuuu-BAM!!!-unnnch! The sickening sound echoed in the dark, accompanied with the rattle from the metal that made up the elevator and its shaft.
