"Faster!"

We moved in perfect lines almost in sync with each other. We stared ahead at the wall in front of us not daring to look anywhere else. If you walked into this room then you would think the girls in it weren't human. The head masters eyes bore into ours as she searched the rows for the littlest mistake.

"Stop"

We came to an immediate stop. She walked up and down the rows. Half of us didn't even dare to breath as she inspected us.

"You," she jabbed her stick into the girl beside mes back. The girl stepped forward. "Begin," The girl began dancing. But hesitated at the beginning and the headmaster noticed.

"Stop" Headmaster waved her hand at the girl. And almost immediately two men grabbed her by her arms dragging her away. Her screams for help staining our souls, because we knew we couldnt help her. We all knew we would never see her again.

The headmaster began walking the rows again. Her heels clicking in the silence. Then the clicking stopped. I felt a sharp pain in my back. I had been chosen.

"Begin"

I went into the first leap. Breath spin leap, breath spin leap. Over and over until she said to stop. Hoping I wouldn't make a mistake knowing that I would follow the girl if I did and never see sunlight again.

"Stop"

I froze. Curiosity struck me. I didn't finish. I wanted to know but if I talked I would be punished. Without wanting it or even really knowing words came out of my mouth.

"Why did you stop me?"

I could hear the intake of air from the girls behind me but it was ever so soft. The headmaster spun on her heels. "What?" She said so quiet that I had to strain to hear her.

I repeated myself, scared not to answer. "You do not question what I do." She turned to the group of the girls. "NEVER question what I do. Take her away." The same two men came and drug me away too. I didn't scream knowing it would give the headmaster satisfaction. I silently cried not wanting what was coming next.

I woke in a pitch black room. The only sound was the air conditioner and silent weeps. Waiting for my eyes to adjust I shivered in the freezing room. And then I saw her. Sitting right in front of me was the girl from earlier. She couldn't of been much older than 5. And the horrors she has already seen.

Not wanting to talk, I slightly nudged her. She looked up. We both have been told the horrors of this room. We would be in here for the next two days, in the freezing cold with no food and only our thoughts to keep us from going crazy. I really thought that they were going to get rid of the girl. That kinda of hesitation would if had me dead.

There is no way that the headmaster is having mercy on this girl. This must be some kind of sick trick to make someone break. Just so the headmaster could have yet another reason to punish us. I sat there waiting for the end of the next days to come to an end.

The day after I had go out of that room the headmaster played her trick. The girl came out and the headmaster was watching her close. Another girl, McKenzie was her name I believe, came and gave the little girl bread and the headmaster caught them. It was a stupid mistake. Making friends and having feelings. They only get in the way of what is really important. They both were executed shortly after.

That night we received our meals consisting of stale bred and slightly warm mush. I ate the food fast eager to seize my hunger. I didn't though, barely made a dent. The nurses came to lock us to our bed as some of the girls were still finishing dinner. The cuffs dug into my skin and I prepared for another long restless night.

I had barely got any sleep when the screaming started. I looked up and blinding lights shined in my eyes. I blinked and tried yo cover them with my hands. I looked around and saw everyone struggling to escape their cuffs.

Strange people started to fill in the room. There boots hitting the ground hard. They held guns with flashlights. If I could get my cuff off I could escape. The people started to take us one by one. Whe they came to me I would be ready. They unlocked my cuff and I ran. The person yelled after me. I was trying to figure it out when a greenish blue blur hit into me.


It dazed me. I wasn't ready. Then the gas started to flood my nose. It stung. My eyes were watering and the light was flashing in and out. As I was going down I saw the person who hit me. He had blonde hair and a blue suit. Then I was out.
