There was only one cyrochamber but two families - mine and my best friend Lizzy's.
I was sitting on the cold concrete stair that led down to the basement, I wasn't listening to the argument that our families were having at the bottom of the stairs, "Lizzy what should we do?", I asked her in a worried tone as the dim lights flickered, she thought for a bit "we could both go into the cyro thingy"
that was actually a good idea!
I walk down the stairs to our families, "Hey," I say, "Lizzy thought we could share the cyrochamber" the arguing ceased "fine" my mum replies after a moment to think
I didn't think she would actually agree
"what if it doesn't work?" Lizzy's dad responds, why did he have to point out facts? I think of something to say against him "it might not work anyway" I say.
I might actually convince them! Cyrochambers are only made for one person but hopefully me and Lizzy can both fit in it.
"Ok fine" her dad mutters, we heard a crash from upstairs - a machine must of been near, our parents start to rush us towards the cyrochamber.
Me and Lizzy both rush towards the cyrochamber, it was a bit of a squeeze but we managed to fit, as the lid closed I saw dents dig into the metal door, as a corruptor leg crashed through, the artificial light bouncing off of the scuffed metal plates that armoured the machine.
Cold air blasted into my face as I saw my pale reflection on the glass lid, all I could hear was mine and Lizzy's heavy breathing as everything went black...

I could see shafts of light through my half open eyes, the only sounds was the distant hissing of the lid opening and my breathing. "Are they ok?" A unfamiliar woman's voice asks,
What? Who is she?
"yeah I think so" another unfamiliar voice but this one was a man's voice very possibly older than the woman. I try to stand and step out of the cyrochamber but I'm unable to
Why is the floor soft like grass?
"woah it's ok" the man said, I can begin to see but it's all blurry. A bright light shone through holes in the ceiling, metal glinting in the light. I glance at the door, the corruptor must have broken through the door as it stands, frozen, in the middle of the room. It's sharp tail gleaming in a beam of light, almost as if it had been posed.
Did something go wrong?I think to myself, it felt like no time had passed.
"We need to take them to the Base to make sure they're ok" the woman said, "Zo could take care of them"
Base? Who's Zo?
I can't think straight, all my thoughts are jumbled. I feel sick as I sink back into unconsciousness.
