The car drove for quite a while, I lost track of real time when my phone started dying. I was trying to keep what little charge I had on it even though it was ten percent. It was just dark in the back of the car no windows, no real doors besides the ones they opened and closed. I didn't want to lose my mind so I started counting every bump and dip we hit, Everytime we stopped for something, Just to keep myself occupied for the time being. It didn't matter much to Thomas because well...he was fast asleep after he calmed down and caught his breath.

So it just left me with these other kids, I was just as clueless as them but I needed answers on why they were here so I started going around asking them why were they here. One kid said they were here because they were acting weird, Another said because they didn't answer the odd ass questions these men in black looking motherfuckers asked that were extremely personal. I looked at that kid shocked to say the least. "I was kidnapped to because I didn't answer there questions either...So....where are they taking us?" The kids there looked terrified and was still slightly crying, I was waiting for an answer from anyone at this point. Then this one kid spoke up and said "Somewhere we won't be able to escape uninjured or dead." That comment made my blood run cold and my lip quiver again.

The drive went on for 12,000 Stops and 802 dips and bumps, which I'm not sure if those translate well to how far we went and it most likely doesn't. But long story short it wasn't no around the corner trip. I was hot, Sweaty and tired because we were mostly getting sick from breathing in CO2 for too long. Then it happened the car stopped, The car was shut off and we heard doors open and close. Two guards suited up in armor comes to the back of the car unlocks it and opens our door pointing there guns at us first before asking the men in black looking guys what's our purpose.

I was weak, looking at them weakly trying to read there listens but I think they caught on I was trying to do that because I was immediately knocked out with the butt end of the assault rifle the guard had. I guessing the others were either sleep or passed out and I was the last one awake from the beginning to end of this fucked up trip.

I woke up strapped down on a cold metal table in a white padded room next to Thomas but the only thing that separated me from Thomas was a thick piece of glass and that was it. I immediately started panicking trying everything in my power to get myself free only tiring myself out in the process again. I took a minute to process where I was looking at my room and the camera in the corner of my room and a bed with a white lamp and chair.

I finally looked over seeing the glass and Thomas on the other side and I was shocked seeing him there but also still sound asleep like a newborn baby. "Thomas.....THOMAS WAKE UP!!!!" He was woken up, looking around confused before looking at me confused "Where....the hell are we Esma?" I sighed heavy and stopped struggling so much "If I knew I would have filled you in on where we are correct?" He looked at me and nodded knowing I was right on that point I made.

"So....what now...?" Asked Thomas. I was trying to think, come up with a plan anything at all but absolutely nothing came, just blank no thoughts. "I got nothing..." I said disappointed at myself, "That's okay Esma..We just gotta..OH HELLO, WE HAVE GOWNS ON. Oh nevermind we have underwear on."I said Thomas, I looked at myself seeing myself in just a gown and my bra I had on from this morning and underwear still on. I sighed in relief for that but wonder who the hell took our clothes.

The intercom connected to the camera turned on clearer than our intercoms at school "Hello new people..Your probably wondering where you are, why are you strapped down to the tables, why are you in gowns...All questions will be answered momentarily. Right now we're releasing your straps and doctors are coming around to collect you all in groups of six. See you then..." Then the intercom turns off just like that. Thomas looked at me concerned as hell "What the hell does any of this mean...What the hell is this...?" Said Thomas, I only looked at him annoyed "OH NOW YOUR ALERT AND ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS!" I immediately rolled my eyes afterwards. The straps on our bodies let's us go as I get off the table running over to the glass where me and Thomas side meets, Thomas came over as well looking at me. "So.... what's the plan...." Thomas said with a Shakey tone.

"For now we sit back listen and obviously watch because this is new territory, new land and we need to be careful so let's just....follow the rules and listen okay?" I said putting my hand on the glass hoping Thomas would do the same. Thomas nodded slowly before also putting his hand on the glass too. A lady doctor comes with four our kids with her before letting me and Thomas out, We both get up,wipe both our faces and started following the lady scared shitless about this whole situation.

The lady walks around showing us different areas of the place as I stop at one place seeing a sign saying "Off limits special personal only" it kinda peaked my interest. I looked at Thomas as he sighed now knowing which of my looks means what as he came up to me angrily whispering "What happened to follow their rules and shit??" I pointed to the sign as he just let's go the most defeated sigh before seeing how many doctors were passing by, he pickpocketed one of the doctors and gave me there id. I smiled big before swiping the id and the machine giving me a green light before the door opens. I grabbed Thomas arm before dragging him along, the door closing behind us immediately, I started getting a cold chill as I walked though this hall. I saw the cell like rooms looking inside seeing disfigured, miscolored, fucked up looking people/monsters inside the rooms.

I was stunned, and frozen, my fight or flight senses dead at this moment. I was shaking and not because I was cold, this was pure fear I was feeling and nothing else. Thomas pale looking at them as a darken shadow appeared behind us.

"hello children ..."
