Variables//On Hold

Familiar Face

She awoke alarmed, cold, scared. Where am I? Who am I?A million questions swirled in her head. Dylan. That was the only thing in her mind that wasn't a question.She scanned her surroundings, and jumped with a start.Among the cold hard walls of metal was a body. The body was weak and fragile, it looked like it could be broken with a single touch. Dylan then realized it wasn't an it at all.It was a girl.

She looked like she couldn't be older than 13. She had long chesnut hair that curled in all directions, and a childishy round face.The only sign that she was alive was her soft breathing and the slow moving of her chest up and down. Dylan suddenly felt a surge of pity towards this girl. She looked too young and too innocent. She didn't know were they were but the loud metallic bangs and the rough shaking of the metal cage were not reassuring. For all Dylan knew they could spend rest of their lives in this metal prison. Or at least what they had left of it.Dylan's thoughts were abruptley interrupted by a lurching thud.She froze, scared and pushed herself into the corner as far as she possibly could go.The room fell silent and if it was possible became more menacing than it had been before.A loud grating noise sounded from overhead. She was temporarily blinded by a small sliver of light which expanded quickly.When her eyes adjusted she realized that framing the top of the opening were about fifty boys all staring down at her. A tall, skinny, yet muscular boy jumped down into the cage. "No shucking way. There's two greenies down here...and their girls".A chorus of voices sounded from above.

"There girls?"

"I call dibs."

"Are they hot?"

"Finally!"

During this time the blonde boy took it upon himself to be completely obnoxius and annoying.He looked at her with expression of complete and utter terror. Dylan felt the heat rush to her cheeks.She shoud be the one that is terrified, NOT him. "Will you please explain what the heck is going on here!!" Dylan exclaimed."Just calm down greenie.And all of this will make sense in a moment or two."Dylan then got furious at this boy.She couldn't unterstand half of what this boy was saying.Shuck,Greenie did I lose some my English when my memory got erased Dylan thought to herself."Listen Blondie I'm not in the mood for games why am I here?"Dylan stared daggers at the boy,not caring if she was rude in any way.Dylan couldn't extinguish the burning flames of her anger.Without thinking she shoved the boy down.Dylan gasped at her own attempt of hurting the boy.She checked to see if her "assault" harmed the girl that was stuck with her in that cage.No,the girl was not hurt nor injured.Dylan then realised she better get of this metal prison before the boy regained consionence.Not that Dylan thought she had enough strength to knock the boy out.But he did fall down easily Dylan thought in her head (once again).

Dylan looked up at the boys who had vines and ropes from earlier.They probably expected "Blondie" and Dylan to go up together.But alas they were probably frozen with shock that they never bothered to remove the vines and ropes. Dylan climbed up and up until what felt like a million hands pulled her up by her shirt.She fell with a thud not caring if it had hurt her in any way.She looked up only to see 50 boys staring down at her.Dylan ccouldn't help but feel threatened.What were this boys to do with her?Why would they be interested in a girl?Dylan once again let her curiousty take control of her thoughts.Dylan instead of trying shove or fight any of these boys did the next best thing.Run.She would run to the ends of the earth to be safe or maybe even get some answers.She heard wolf whisteles and shouting something about being a runner.Seriously,where do they come up with this new language or at least it was new to Dylan.Someone even said,"Great we got anther Thomas,"in a sarcastic voice.

Dylan found some walls not caring about all those comments,hoots,and hollers.She ran in only to run right into someone.Great just great you got yourself caught Dylan thought it so loudly in her mind for a second she thought she said it out loud.She looked up only to be greeted by another boy.This time the boy had spiky black hair and was Asian and appeared to be very sweaty/tired."Great another greenie got out,"he had finally got a full glimpse of Dylan,"Holy,oh my gosh its a girl."Dylan of course wasn't surprised of seeing ANOTHER guy.The boy grabbed her shoulder not hesitating.Dylan was trying her hardest to escape from the boys grip but once again failed at any attempt of escaping.When the Asian boy finally got to the crowd he dumped her on the ground.He met gazes with a black,muscular guy saying,"You maybe wanna explain this."With demanding expression on his face.Mean while Dylan met gazes with a not to slim,not to strong looking,and not to menacing boy.He had flat brown hair,hazel eyes,and a very curious face expression.Dylan doesn't know where the idea came from or why she knew.But for some reason whispered to herself ,"Thomas."
