Captured

Elizabeth woke up feeling dizzy, around her was pitch black. She stood up, she knew there was a switch somewhere, thanks to Jacob who burst in and switch the lights on while saying
"Flashbang" . Which was a dumb move in her opinion, because the next second he was caught and tortured, yet again. She made her way as she trace her hand onto the wall, finally when Elizabeth felt the icy cold glass, she knew she was close to the switch, the icy glass then turned to a thick wood. Good. she thought. Feeling the thick wood, her hand made their way around the door frame and turned on the light. "Finally" she exclaimed. The room is average, with a chair facing the gigantic window looking out to the boys torturing room. Opposite her there she saw two of her friends, Hana and Sarah, struggling to stand up. They looked at each other for a while, then motioned each other to meet up. Elizabeth rushed out of the room, the door wasn't locked like last time. While running, Elizabeth bumped into someone. "Oh hey Mark, you also escaped?" Mark nodded, he took off his glasses and shoved them into his pockets. "Let's go and meet up with Hana and Sarah" Elizabeth said. Mark nodded as they walk on the metal floor, careful not to make too much noise. After what seems like ages, they finally reached the door. Three knocks were heard, Hana carefully opened the door, rushed them in and shut the door. "You guys took long" Hana said. "Yeah, wish this place wasn't so big" Mark said while rubbing his sore legs. "So now what?" Sarah asked. "Last time when we were out, those shadow figures caught us and we "respawn" back to this room so I guess don't get caught by those?" Elizabeth suggested while helping Sarah braid her hair. "Good point" Hana complimented. "Thanks, it was my idea but I wasn't sure so I told Elizabeth to say it" Sarah beamed. "So any idea what we are suppose to find?" Elizabeth asked. "Nope" the other three said in a unison. Well, they know they were suppose to find something, but the don't know what yet, because whenever are close to figuring things out, they were always back to square one. Now that they had gathered some experiences, the squad head out carefully, Hana was first to lead, then Sarah and following her is Elizabeth, last is Mark, who is going to cover from behind. Some parts of the facility is bright, some is pitch black and some are dimly lit, and these figures can be anywhere, they can't take any chances. They can't fight the figures, the figures are like shadows, you can't destroy them, you can only run or cut them off your tail for a while. Running for their life around the giant glass dome, the ones who are being tortured could clearly see the squad run like monkeys outside. 

Meanwhile inside the dome, which was cut in half, one for boys, one for girls. "You do know that doing this could get you charge for assault" said Eric, who is the class monitor. "Yeah you stupid person, or whatever demon you are, now let us go!" Riley immaturely shouted "First of all, mark my words, I will not set all of you free, it isn't my job, its those who you call outcasts job. And yes, I know I am going to get charge, according to the rules, that's why I am going to make it worth it" Asmodeus answered as she hand the whip to one of her shadow figure. "Whip all of them 3 times, hard, and catch those kids, make sure they don't find the child" Asmodeus ordered the shadows while walking away.  Screams of pain echoed the room, it terrified the squad a lot, though they knew it was only their classmates, they felt invisible weights stacking, pressuring them to find something they aren't even sure of. Out of nowhere, a shadow figure attacked the squad, forcing them to part ways as they readied their walkie-talkie to inform if they found any clue. Elizabeth ran as fast as she could, an underling right behind her, a needle flew out of nowhere and piercing her arm, she threw a smoke bomb and made a turn. Seems like she had cut the figure off for a while, there at the corner of Elizabeth's eye, she saw a small shadow of a child. She wasn't the only one though, her friends, stood there in shock, looking at the 12 year old child.
