Corpse Trials

Chapter One: Rose's PoV

I wake up, the darkness covered the room, I groan softly I try to move my the hair out of face, reaching, to move annoying strand of hair,chains halting my hands from moving to far from the stone wall, I look at the wall seeing it's brick pattern, I rest my head against it,"Is anyone there?" I coughed my throat dry, I swallowed what ever spit I could to try to fix my dry throat problem.

"On," A deep voice rumbled, bright white lights, blinding me, as I shut my eyes quickly,"You are finally awake, eh?" I fluttered my eyes open and closed getting use to the bright light I see the concert floor clean as a whistle, a man wearing dark shades and a suit and tie crouched in front of me, I retract my knees to my chest quickly, his black hair slicked back full of grease. I look around the room seeing a young boy his body sprawled out on the floor chained tightly to the wall by his wrist, his black long matted hair covering his face. His white T-shirt and pants covered in blood. I gulped as my heart sunk at the site,as look back at the suited man,"what's going on?" I asked him softly, my voice sounding hoarse, a grin slide across his face as chills ran down my spine,"Such a young, pretty thing..." He said softly reaching towards me putting his hot hand on my cheek soft, I shyed away from it,"You won't last long" he continued in a harsher tone,"You are 99998. Remember that number kid, your name is Rose." I look at him confused and spoke,"What are you talking about?" I began to panic, he retracted his hand from me."99998, kid. Remember it." He said and went to the guy chained to the wall,"Get up, Alex!" The suited man yelled, Alex sat up slightly,'Oh thank god he isn't dead.' I thought as he blew the hair out of his face, the suited man crouched next to him,"Your new partner is here, this one is a chick."Alex, woke up almost instantly and looked at me instantly his gaze met mine,"No! This isn't right to bring someone like her into something like this!" Alex yelled his voice cracking, I began to tremble 'What am I getting into?' The suited man looked at me, then back at Alex,"I don't choose the," He paused for a second then looking at me,"Participants." He smiled and looked back at Alex and stands back up. He went back to a small grey chair in the corner of the room,"Her name is Rose." The suited man said loudly,"This isn't right." Alex continued, I blurted out,"Why am I here? What is this place?" I bit my tongue before I asked another question, Alex looked at me,"I wish I knew..." He said softly then looked down at his lap.
