The Little Shit

Chapter 1

Darkness is all I see. Lost is all I feel. Where am I? I can't see a single thing. I feel around with my hands to feel metal. I crawl forward until I hit my head on a wall. I use the wall to make my way to stand up. I disorientingly feel my way around with my hands. I quickly come to the realization that I'm in a box shaped cage.

"Hello?!" I yell, doubting an answer. I hit the box walls a few times out of anger. Not only anger, but confusion and frustration. I'm angry that I'm confused and I'm frustrated that I don't know where the hell I am! Wait. Who am I? Why can't I remember anything? What the hell is going on here? Who put me here? Who would be that much of a gigantic jackass to put me here? Wherever here is.

Before I could continue to question more things, the box started moving up. "Hey! What the hell?! Hello?! Can anyone hear me?!" Obviously, no one did as the box sped up, knocking me off my feet, and hitting my head, causing me to see black spots all around my vision.

I feel the box slow down and come to a stop as my vision goes completely black.

"What do you see down there?" a female voice asks. "Give me a second, jeez, so pushy" another female voice answers. I hear thudding around.

"Another girl, but she's unconscious, '' the same female voice announces. "Alright, Debbie, Jules, go help Maddie get the newbie. Make sure to be careful with her" a demanding female voice orders. More thudding noises come towards me, but I don't dare open my eyes.

I don't know what to expect, so I must not risk doing anything stupid. I feel three pairs of arms wrap around different parts of my body and I get lifted up into the air. A few seconds later, I feel myself being set down on what feels like grass. The hands leave my unconscious body. I feel two fingers on my neck, probably checking if I was still alive.

Maybe I'm not. Maybe I'm dead and this is a punishment for all the bad things I've ever done. Maybe this is a nightmare and I just need to wake the hell up. Maybe I should be dead. Who would really care? I have no memory of anything. I don't remember anyone that would miss me. Hell, I don't even know who I am. Maybe I shouldn't be here. Maybe. If only it was that easy, nothing ever is though.

Screw it. I snap my eyes open and sit up so fast I get whiplash. These sudden movements cause the person that was checking my pulse to jump back in shock. People were standing in a crowd surrounding me and the box I just came from. Not just people, but girls. They were all girls. Not a single boy in sight. I stand up as I get a good look around at the place I've just found myself in.

"Hey, it's okay. We won't hurt you," a female voice sounds as she cautiously walks towards me like I'm a scared animal. Maybe I was. I sure felt like it. Maybe. "Look, I know you're scared, but I need you to trust me," the demanding, yet calm girl slowly walks to me. I turn my head around to see large stone walls surrounding the grassy area. One box into another. In between the large stone walls I notice an opening. An exit. An escape.

Once again, screw it. I bolt as fast as I can towards the opening. I hear yells and shouts from the group of girls, obviously appointed to me. I ignore them. I can't trust them. I don't know who they are and I don't want to know.

I start to hear running footsteps thudding after me. I make my way through the opening and feel cool air hit my skin. The footsteps stopped, but I didn't dare to turn around. I only decided to stop running after I turned the corner. I carefully look over the corner to see the group of girls huddled by the entrance. Why wouldn't they come in here? This is the exit. Right?

"Do you guys see her?" one of them asks. Their voices begin to bounce off of the stone walls, echoing. "The doors are gonna close soon, there's no way she'll make it" another voice respondes. "Well girls, looks like we've lost our newbie" the other girl says, sighing. A second after she says that, I feel a gust of wind and hear the sound of metal against metal. I watch in amazement as both sides of the exit close together. Then it gets quiet, scary quiet.

I decided to continue to find a way out of this place. After taking a few more turns around the corners I realize this is a maze. How hard can a maze be to solve? I continue walking and look up to see the sky starting to darken. I should probably find somewhere to rest, maybe hideout and sleep 'till morning.

Then I hear something. It's loud, big, and I can tell it's deadly. I stop in my tracks and slowly turn around to be met with a monster. It looks like a gigantic spider made out of metal. It's eyes beat at me, it's breaths heavy, it's body big, slimy, and hairy. I have the urge to throw up because of all its ugly features.

I start to slowly back away as it starts growling and comes closer. As it continues walking, I run away as fast as I can. I make random turns at different corners, not knowing where I'm going. All I need to know is how the hell to get away from that thing. I hear its sharp claws dig into the stone floor as it chases after me from a few feet behind me.

"What do you do to overcome obstacles? How do you overcome certain obstacles?" Hands go up into the air, even mine. "Aurora, how do you overcome obstacles?" the lady up front looks at me. "You have to stay calm. Freaking out during situations does nothing except risk more bad things to happen" I answer. My voice sounded pretty similar to it now. Not like I've been talking much. "Anything else?" the teacher asks, still looking at me. "Quick thinking. If one is smart enough, they could think their way out of any situation" I answer once again, my voice echoing this time.

I realize I've been running on audio pilot, letting my body take over, taking random turns as my mind unlocks a memory of some sort. I see two of the walls moving together off to my right. Quick thinking. I swerve to the right and bolt straight for the closing walls. I push my legs to move faster even though most of my muscles are burning. At the last second, I squeeze through the walls before getting squashed like a grape.

Unfortunately for the monster, it followed me into the walls and did get squashed like a grape. Quick thinking. I lean on the wall and slide down it until I'm sitting down, breathless. I look at the pancake of a monster across from me. No wonder those girls didn't want me out here. Now what do I do?

I notice a red light coming from where the monster is. I cautiously walk over to it. I pick up a piece of the monster's gut and hear a beeping sound come from it. I pick all of the guts and slime off of it to be met with a silver cylinder with the number 7 on it, in red. It was beeping every few seconds. Maybe it's a key of some sort. Maybe this is the way out of here. Maybe. Why else would it be hidden in a literal monster?
