The Experiment

Chapter 12

Iris POV

I slowly moved, it felt like my body was in quick sand. My eyes fluttered open and quickly closed again at the blinding light, I groan feeling my head with my hand. 

"She's Awake!" someone yells, I think it might be Jennifer. What happened? I think for a few minuets and then I remember, the attack, the diamond. I finally truly open my eyes and I see the group hanging over me. 

Odd how little time we know each other but we have banded heavily because of the people we all hate.

I look around and see that were in a hole but the ground if I might dare say it is wetter. "Where are we?" I ask

"Somewhere safe" said Nathon easily dodging my question. I slowly get up, a little shaky I admit but up none the less. I sighed as I feel the sand shift under my feet and now I am sure it's wetter.  

"Where are we at?" I ask again. Nathon sighted "all I can tell, is that we are slowly getting closer to a civilization." I glared slightly at the half answered question but accepted it. 

A few hours later... 

Nathon was right their was a civilization here and now were staring right at it. Their was huge towers built out of iron and steel but was unlike any city I have known. There was people running around the road but only boys. The girls I saw were standing by shops wearing dresses and seemed ignorant of things around them. "I wonder what their life's like if they act this way" I think. 

I see the others look around but they were just as weary as I am. Nathon was looking at the people closely like I was but seemed to see nothing out of the ordinary and deemed them safe.

We walked down the road and I tried to ignored the odd looks we were given and I think a few suspicious glances to but luckily nobody questioned us as we walked. 

I wondered what I like after sleeping underground and being in a desert for multiple days. Jennifer and Barbara has sand and dirt caked in their hair but that was the only thing showing on the strains of sleeping outside.

I managed to my reflection in a small window at a shop and I see that my hair is caked with dirt and sand my clothes are ripped around the area of my old wound and there was blood stains on one side of my shirt.

Nathon's voice startled me out of my musings and he pulled us to a dark alleyway and I had a odd urge we were being followed. I looked behind us but I don't wan't to worry the others, it's most likely nothing.

As we continued to walk the suspicion grew and I thought I heard soft footsteps of a person walking. While Nathon and them went inside a shop to see where were at. I stood their and waited at the side alleyway knowing being covered in blood is not a good way to divert attention away from your self.  when I thought I was far enough away to be seen I heard a voice I never thought I would hear again since I has taken.

"Iris!"
