No Way Home

Chapter 1: New Wonders

ZACH WAS- CONFUSED, TO SAY THE LEAST, 24 HOURS AGO, (OR MAYBE EVEN SHORTER,

or longer, again, he didn't know any of this sort of information, well, at least at the time) he probably was a normal boy living a normal life, and now, he was here. He looked around him to see his surroundings, he was in a plain, empty, average-sized (for a exact size, think about Harry Potter's room, yeah, this room was about two of those) the walls and floors were the same color, he looked on the floor, there were many people who were probably him 5 minutes ago, passed out, laying on the floor, probably drugged. There were a handful of people like him currently, checking the room out, and two people were actually already talking, silent though.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the room had no doors but yet only one window which when you looked outside it had a sign that said 'Don't panic! We'll be with you as soon as possible :)' course, that was not very reassuring.

He looked at his surroundings most of the boys were probably 14-19, mostly likely around the age he was. He suddenly jumped as he felt the cold hands touch him and looked around to see a boy probably 15 or 16 with his hand where he used to be, the hand was also shaking, but his eyes closed.

He slowly grabbed his ankle as he jumped once again, and this time he stumbled onto the floor, making the other boys glare at him. "Ha, wimp." The boy said in his deep irish accent as he suddenly opened his eyes and gave him a big grin leaving Zach both scared and confused.

"I tricked ya, buddy. Me name's Scott, well that's at least what me brain is telling me..." 'Scott' said, he said it so calmly that made Zach want to be even more confused, but he didn't want the guys to think he was a wimp any more, so he replied slowly and said "Er- Zach." as confidently as he could.

"Nice to meet you Zach." Scott said, but shortly after he was interrupted by a beeping sound and then a voice that sounded like it came from a loud speaker that had been placed in the room.

"Hello, boys and girls, I know you are probably very confused right now, but we want to reassure you that you're in very safe hands. However, for safety purposes, we have basically all of your memories except your common knowledge and your name. Your memories will gradually grow back, but just know that your other memories that didn't come back aren't supposed to come back for a very good reason. Anyways, the elevators that we put you all in should be moving shortly after this, all further instructions your guide will give to after this and we will be telling you even more at dinner, hope you have a lovely rest of your day! Goodbye!"

The voice almost sounded robotic, and after another beeping sound was made after he finished, there were many shouts and protests that went on for a while. 'Why did they bring us here and why did they wipe our memories? We deserve to know that, right?' Everything was all scrambled in his brain and he was desperate to sort it and get some answers, but suddenly the elevator dinged and the sliding doors that had been hiding in plain sight opened up, there were no buttons on the elevator though, so someone must be controlling it, but he had would have to think more about it later because a smiling women greeting them as they all walked out of the elevator.

There were even more protests though, and many people yelling at the women, many even refusing to get out of the elevator. "I promise we are doing this to keep you safe! So stop that nonsense and get out of the elevator!" The woman shouted angrily, and everybody turned as people scrambled out of the elevator without a word.

Except for one guy, he had blonde curly hair and was pale and also was a bit on the heavy side, and he suddenly stood up and shouted "No! I'm not trusting random strangers! I deserve to know that information now!" The woman looked at him, her face now steaming red, and suddenly she snapped her fingers but something remarkably happened. The boy, almost completely fine before, collapsed to the ground and closed his eyes, he didn't even move.

Everybody looked in shock, how could that possibly happen? Zach thought, and they all turned back to the lady. "That's what happens when you disbehave here boys, now hurry on, we have more important stuff to do then stare at a dead body." She said, as if this was nothing.
