Sacrifice Sanctuary

Chapter 2 Rooms

I walked up a couple of flights of stairs and was now on the top floor, the 2 guys behind me said this was the room I would be in from now on. I looked at it, a well-lighted room with a rug, lamp,p and bed all matched the color orange. There were 3 big windows but the only thing I could see out of them were clouds and a constant pink sky. There were also 2 desks on each side of the bed both placed against the wall accordingly. I looked across both the hallways and didn't see any bathrooms. "Um, where are... The bathrooms then? " I asked embarrassed. "They're on the bottom floor. " one of the guys spoke sternly. I was looking around the room just examining it, the wall with a door to enter and exit was glass. "Geez do we get any privacy in this place, " I thought to myself. 

"One last thing before I go, " I jumped a little at the sudden voice, I didn't know there was an intercom. "Bathrooms downstairsairs both boys and girls, you will be in your rooms at night unless you must go and if you do a guard will escort you and wait outside the bathroom. You will also get a keycard your bedroom door is to be locked each time you go in or out and one 1 person per room. The games will start tomorrow, be ready. " the voice spoke. "Be ready? " I restated "What the hell did he mean by that?" 

The guards gave me a keycard and pushed me into the room rather harshly, TheI I locked the door it was a stupid rule but I made sure I wasn't going to get in trouble. I tried to lay down on the bed and get some rest, but even though it was pretty dark there was still a faint light added to the fact that there were 2 guys with guns standing outside of your door every second. After about 30 minutes of trying to sleep, I shifted my body up and walked over to the door, unlocked it with the keycard, then locked it again. "Hey, " I said to one of the guards, "I'm gonna go to the bathroom. " I didn't think he'd follow me but he did. 

I walked down the same flight of stairs and then looked left to right for a restroom. "Come on I'll ill show you the way, " the guard said to me bumping his shoulder against mine. "Why are these people so rude?" "Didn't they sign up for this or something, I didn't do anything wrong, did I? " I asked myself. After some time of following the sketchy man he stopped and I almost bumped into him. "Here," he said stone cold. "Um. Thanks, " I said trying to sound genuine. 

I walked into the bathroom it was just whites greys and blacks like most of the buildings beside the bedrooms. I didn't need to go I just couldn't sleep, so I walked to the mirror and rested my palms by sinkinks. I stared at myself. I had short, light brown hair, and bright blue eyes, my skin was pretty tan and I had some muscle. I kept staring at myself "I’m so exhausted why am I not tired? " I sighed in defeat. I ran my hands under warm water then splashed it on my face and dried it with a towel. "Just try to go to sleep, "I whispered to myself, then walked out. There was a wavy black-haired girl with green eyes and dark skin walking down the stairs and she walked over to me or actually the bathrooms but I was still there. 

"Hey, " I said, and she stopped. "can’t sleep either? " the girl said. "Yeah I’m just wondering what he meant by 'be

ready', " I said a little worried. I hated to admit it but this place freaked me out, a lot. "Same i tried to get sleep but can’t really do that much resting right now.. " she muttered. I nodded and started to walk away but then stopped. "Hey wait, before I what's your name? " I asked "Mia, " she said before walking into the white-lighted restroom. minutes passed of me walking back up the stairs and into my room, making sure I locked the door. I laid back down again and tried to shut my eyes. I thought about the first and second elevators, and if I could remember anything, but I also thought about that girl Mia. I wondered how many girls and boys there were. I didn't count but it looked to be about 10 people maybe. I was guessing that the genders were half and half five girls and 5 boys but I wasn't 100% sure. I thought about how I got here and what if my family was missing me. Or if I even had a family, before my breath slowed, my eyes shut, and I fell asleep. 

I was walking around the hallways. "Is there even a way to get out?" I thought. I made it to the bottom floor and heard the intercom trying to say something but I kept walking closer to the grey circle in the middle of the room. I walked on it and, nothing happened for a bit, until it dropped. "AH!" I screamed in terror. "HELP ME PLEASE" I screamed while falling when I heard the intercom blasting in my ears. "WHERE IS DYLAN WHERE IS THE KID IN THE ORANGE ROOM," It was chanting. I covered my ears because of how loud it was and, then suddenly grey platform stopped moving, and I woke up, sweating. 

"You've got to be kidding me," I thought shaking my head in irritation. I heard speaking outside my doors my guess is the guards trying to pass the time. "Did they even sleep" "They differently don't look like it" I said out loud chuckling. I got out of bed and rubbed my eyes. I was walking over to unlock the doors of my room when I saw a plate slide in a slim gap in the glass wall. "Finally I'm starting" I scoffed, then took the plate and sat on my bed. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to eat it, but I was too caught up in the bacon to care. II I broke every rule in the book it was worth it, I was starving. "Where did they even cook this?" "I didn't see a kitchen?" I thought recalling my memories of walking to the bathroom last night. 

I finished my plate and set it back down where I got it, then looked around the room for something to wear. Looking through the drawers on the sides of the rooms I see the same clothes a loose light gray long-sleeve shirt, a white T-shirt, and a pair of black loose-fitted pants. "I wonder if the other people got the same clothes," I thought as I slipped into the outfit in a small closet where people couldn't see me. Surprisingly it was my size the same as the shoes that sat on the outside of my door while I was getting ready. 

I waited for a reason to exit the room, I wanted to explore but I wasn't sure if we were supposed to. Plus I already knew there was something off about this place and there was no reason I needed to find more evidence. So I lay in bed and got a little more rest.
