Chap12~The Unlocking Ceremony

A/N: Sorry guys. I know it's been a while. I got sick, I had family out for the holidays, plus finals are coming up. It's been a little crazy. Anyways, here it is.

After his speech, Millenium immediately returned us to our cells. He brought us some dinner, which was made up of steak, carrots, and mashed potatoes. He must not have been very worried about is attempting to free ourselves with the silverware. It was plastic anyways. He threw some water bottles into the cells too. After he turned the corner, I grabbed my tray and sat down on my bed to eat. After I was done, I went to see if Lily was done, then Ren.
"Guys, we need to get out of here. We have no idea what this but is going to do to us tomorrow." By the end of my sentence, I started to feel a little woozy. Ren was swaying on his feet, and Lily had sat down, her eyelids drooping.
"Are...y-you guys f-f-feelin-"
I crumpled, my knees no longer able to hold my weight. The room was spinning, black spots clouding my vision.

I woke with a killer headache. I groaned, attempting to gather enough strength to push myself off the ground. Except my arms weren't moving. I lifted my head enough to look around. I was strapped down to a metal table, Lily and Ren on identical tables to my right. It looked and smelled just like a large hospital room. I layed my head back down with another groan. I don't know how long I layed there before Millenium walked in. It was probably minutes but it felt like hours, just laying in silence, my two best friends asleep. All I could think about was my two friends, Amelia and Kaity. They went missing a few months ago. I hoped they weren't here and didn't go through anything like this. Millenium soon interrupted my thoughts.
"Ah Cameron. Always the first to wake aren't you? We'll be starting soon, when the other two are awake. You want some water? I drugged you pretty hard."
His voice was like nails on a chalkboard. I couldn't bring myself to speak, but managed to nod my head. My throat was so dry it burned and my tongue felt like a huge cotton ball in my mouth. He grabbed a plastic cup and filled it with water from a sink somewhere in the room. He brought it to me with a straw. I quickly sucked it down. It helped alleviate the pounding in my skull some and my mouth felt like a desert after a drought. A couple minutes of silence later, they woke up.
"Good. We can finally begin."
He in strapped us from the tables and lifted me into a wheelchair. He led us down a hallway. I saw doors lining it and imagined where they could lead. We walked through the door at the end of the hall. It opened into a huge cave-like room. The floor was cement, as were the walls and ceiling. There was a big circular rug in the exact middle of the room. It was a beautiful deep red color. In the middle of the rug was an electric blue circle.
"Lily, you'll go first. Step into the white circle on the rug. Then st-"
I quickly cut him off by saying, "The circle isn't white."
He just glared at me in return and put a finger to his lips. I took the hint and shut up. My head hurt anyway. Lily complied and stepped into the circle.
