(I FEEL IT IN MY BONES... Sorry I've got the song radioactive in my head! 😊)

You wake up to the sound of metal clanging, cogs turning, live stock crying out in fear. Sherlock. You remember the time you spent with Sherlock. Dashing through the London streets with a guy who's too intelligent for his own good chasing after an average of five murderers a week isn't something you'd easily forget. But that's the thing. It's the only thing you can remember, aside from your name.

The elevator you are in, at least that's what you think it is, was pitch black. You're sitting on the cold metal ground, surrounded by wooden boxes and metal cages. And you wait. You wait for what seems like an age. You don't try to call out or panic, something tells you that isn't going to work. You wait.
The lift comes to a sudden halt, surprising you as you fall over sideways from your sitting position. You hear the metal above you groan as a brilliant light files into the lift, blinding you. There is a thud next to you, presumably a person jumping down next to you. You hear a voice with a thick American accent say 'holy shuck, it's a girl '. Followed by several boys voices call dibs on you.

'W-what? Where am I? Who are you ?' You splutter, voice raw from so little use in so long. Above you, you see a huge group of boys, about 30-40 of them. The person who jumped down next to you turnsout to be a dark skinned boy with close-cut hair and piercing brown eyes, and he stares at you like a difficult crossword puzzle he was trying to solve. 'Names Alby. Welcome to the glade.'

A person above you throws down a rope, which you use to help you climb up after the boy, Alby. You take in your surroundings. Tall, concrete walls rise in all directions, creating a square, grassy area, filled with buildings, made from stone, wood and concrete. One things for certain. You can't get out, your in danger. And that means Sherlock is coming after you.

Cliff hanger! Sort of... Not really... But you get the idea! Hope you enjoyed chapter 1, and until next time, my Pygmy Puffs!😊🦄
