Chapter 7: Henwy's POV

"Hey, wake up, Henwy!" A voice whispered in my ear as I felt someone shaking me

"Hmm? Is that you mother? I already told you that I don't have school today. Let me go back to sleep..." I groggily muttered while my eyes were trying to focus on who woke me up.

As soon as the words left my mouth, I wanted to grab them, take them back, and hide them.

But it's too late.

"Not unless your mother is bald and has a magnificent beard." The figure smirked

I felt the heat rise to to my face and blushed really hard.

"Oops.... Sorry Sigils" I said sheepishly

I rubbed my beady eyes, trying to shake the sleepiness off me. Yawning, I stretched around for a bit.

I inspected my surroundings to see the dull and depressing colour of grey walls. I would say that it is a confining box with dimensions of about 100metres x 50metres x 100metres. What really completed the hopelessness feel was the metal door with an one-way flap, presumably for food and such. It heavily reminded me of those solitary confinement door from prison. With only a single fluorescent light bulb illuminated the entire box, the gloominess of the atmosphere increased. I kicked around a dust bunny around the floor.

Due to the solitary light shining, the glint of lenses located in the corners could seen easily, confirming my suspicions.

Then, I heard sniggering behind so I turned 180 degrees to identify the culprit.

I saw Nico and Biffle trying their absolute hardest not to laugh.

Then I saw her.

She had long black hair, quite short-ish, wear glasses, has a petite build and has small eyes. She seemed around 26 years old

"Hello, who are you may I ask?" I enquired the new girl

"Oooh Henwy suddenly became a gentlemen when he see a girl!" The trio giggled together as if they rehearsed this together which they probably did.

"Hi, I'm Tricia. Nice to meet you Henwy." She shyly smiled at him

"So how long was I asleep for?" I asked, trying to stop myself from blushing

"Well according to that clock," Nico said, pointing to grey, battered clock hung up on a wall I didn't even notice when I woke up. "You were asleep for 13 hours."

"WHAT? So long? How did we even got knocked out?All I remember is Biffle saying like he was sleepy or something"

"Sedation darts. Quick-acting ones too." Sigils replied holding a transparent container dart.

"Where are we do you think?" I asked

"Well I thi-"

BAM!!!

The heavy, metal door opened with a bang as smoke crept in the box, seemingly having the ability to invoke fear in all of us. We couldn't see anything past the thick smoke, all of us terrified to go any farther closer and stayed frozen with trepidation with our backs to the uneven wall.

Without warning, there were two bodies flung at us and almost instantly, the creaky door slammed with a loud BLAM. The smoke slowly evaporated, revealing the identities of the duo.

One had jet black hair,swiped at a side while the other has dark brown hair with some parting in the middle. Both wore no glasses and had small eyes. The brunet had an athletic build while the raven haired had more of an average built.

"Oww.... Hey, Eugene, you alright?" The brown haired person questioned.

"Ehh, I'll live..." 'Eugene' replied, dusting off his pants while he slowly pushed himself up
