Slowly the young girls eyes opened. Her blue enchanting orbs clouded with confusion. Slowly and cautiously she sits up leaning on the lift like structures wall.

Megans p.o.v

Darkness that's all i can see. I'm so confused. I'm wandering around my mind looking for any remains of memories in the wreckage of a past life. Its like i can feel my memories at the tips of my fingers but cant get a solid grip on them. After what felt like forever I gave up on the hopeless scavenge. I steadily took a glance around the metal box type room. It had biggish boxes in one corner and imprinted on them were some words but because of my predicament I couldn't make them out, they just looked like gibberish. The metal box i am trapped in was obviously heading up seeing I felt like 10 pounds of weight was uncomfortably settling on my body. Rhythmically miniature rosy red lights are seen as I continue this perplex journey.
Breath
Suddenly out of the blue a defined sound is heard. A breath that wasn't my own. The tension is thick right now.My breath became hitched as I heard shuffling.
"Hello?" The mystery voice called as tried to mutate to a smaller size.
"Anyone there?" It spoke softly and confidently. It sounded like a boy?
I attempted to speak but instead I made a noise that sounded hoarse and raspy. My throat felt dry and I could tell I needed to have at least some sort of drink soon. I let out a aggravated huff.
"Hey you!" The voice said accusingly. My eyes widened in surprise as I heard the husky voice again. I heard a groan and footsteps heading my way then I felt a presence sit next to me. I tried to pretend I wasn't there by breathing at a slow pace and keeping my movements steady even though I know they already have seen me.
"I know your there, I need help"
I looked over to the body next to me. I could only make out a silhouette but by from the shape of his face I knew he was in some type of trouble and is distraught.
"What's wrong" I cringed as I heard my voice. My throat was still a little dry but my first priority was helping the person who I might be stranded with for a long amount of time.
"So it speaks" The boy speaks again with amusement hinting in his voice.
I was lost for words as I wondered who I was so flabbergasted by this stranger who I have never had any form of a conversation with.
"Yes,yes I do but can you please answer my question" I spoke with a annoyed tone. "Feisty I see" the mystery man sniggered"well my problem is I don't know your name"he said. I gave him a unamused look. Then I remembered he can't see my face so I just turned and faced forwards staring intensely at the void of darkness.
"It's Megan" I said. My facial features lit up like a Christmas tree knowing I actually remembered something from my past life" nice name I'm Josh." Saying this broke me from my trance it's like I somehow knew this name from somewhere I can't recall where. "Hello earth to Megan, Earth to Megan ." I snapped out of my day dream and apologised. Suddenly the box we were enclosed in came to a very brief stop. The abrupt stop made bang my head on the wall and I groaned. I closed my eyes trying to block out the pain. But I had no such luck. I heard some noise like doors opening my eyes fluttered open and I squinted as a new found light spread through the room
" Order shanks order!" A male voice shouted. My vision was blurry and I could only make out shapes. There was a sudden bang and I could feel a new presence in the box. A gasp noise filled the small space.
"Newt what is it, what do you see!" The same voice spoke again.
"It's..Its a group? There's two boys and 3..." Newt I think,stopped speaking his question like statement.
" and three what you flabbergasted slinthead!" The annoyed man said
"3 girls" after this was spoken mummers and whispers were heard
" hello" josh said
" h..ello greenie" newt said
" let's not dawdle now get them out"I heard a thump and two more presences in the box. One came over to me. He reached for my arm but I moved away. "I'm okay I can get out" my raspy voice spoke. Gasps were heard and whispers that were things like 'dibs' or 'it speaks'. "Ok then" the man next To me said I figured it out to be newt. I grabbed on to the wall and slowly slid up trying not to make the pain in my head worsen. I stumbled a couple of times as I made my way to the shape of a rope I saw through my blurry vision. When I finally reached out of the box I stood up and squinted as much needed heat started to spread on my skin. " you okay" a voice asked I snapped my head up which made me dizzy " yeah I'm fine quick question though" I answered " yeah what is it" josh said
"Am I supposed to see three of you" as I spoke this I fell to the ground blackness swarming my vision like a hoard of wasps circling it's prey.
