Children of the Dark Game

Journeying out

I woke up with a murmur of people talking as they woke up. It 7 am. Soon one by one we all got up and by then it was 9:17 am.

The thousands of us said that we would go and get food from the food stores, even though some people were concerned that we were stealing they were conjured out of feeling bad because their hungry tummies got the better of them. It was soon 11 am when every one had finished eating. At 11:15 am we had another meeting about was gonna happen later on.
Some people said we should look on the web to see if other news popped up on what the hell was going on and in 5 minutes...nothing new had come in. I started getting nervous becasue I was missing my mom and home, but I told my self to be strong and calm.

'Everything was gonna be alright...right?'

We all debated (in a friendly manner) about what other suggestions we could come up with on what to do about this situation but all the ideas were either wrong for the moment or too childish. We all came to a decision as to journey out to our neighbouring city which was 40 minutes away by car but surely woukd take us an hour or even an hour and a half with the amount of people we had.
People started saying that it would take to long and we would get to tired. But that was obviously nonsense because surely an hour and a half of walking or riding wouldn't kill us. I mean we did sport at school for a reason.

We decided that we would leave the next day at 11 am because that's a suitable time to leave because everyone would be fresh and full from breakfast.

Later in the day we all just lazied around and took photos and walked through the mall to see what things we could get our hands on for the big journey that was coming up. At the meeting we warned everyone to not steal things that were expensive like phones and gadgets because that would only casue the alarm to go off ad we wouldn't know how to switch it off.

Hopefully everyone would stay and keep to that rule because we don't want any trouble. Soon it was 03:35 pm. People were either eating or taking selfies or sleeping or doing what ever nonsense they could find to keep themselves from walking into walls with boredom. I soon got back from tracking around the mall with a few friends and everyone was concerned about their photos not posting to Instagram and Facebook. No one could load their Twitter or anything that had to be reloaded for more information to come up which didn't include Snap Chat. I was really taken back by this because that was really strange. All of us got the thing that said Rety...your Internet is down or Can't reload the page.
The only thing that worked almost properly was WhatsApp but it didn't  allow us to send messages to people that weren't with us or out of the country and city.
It's as if our social media knew who we were with 24/7. Though we didn't let it get to us too much. After all that fuss it was 05:00 pm. People were still lounging around and doing what ever. 

Till I decided that a great idea would be to have a head count on everyone who was here, so we wouldn't loose count on who was here and if anyone was missing.
I gathered a few people and we announced this message and we asked if everyone could go in a line which was whay school you went to. We knew there would be complaint and fuss about this but we said it would oj take 20 minutes and it's not like the ur were righting and exam or something or doing anything better with their lives. There were so many different schools, I could almost count 15 to 20 lines of schools. By the time we finished counting everyone...one person for each line of school, it was already 05:30 pm. I could see everyone getting bored and frisky so the people who counted got into a group and the rest went back to their sleeping areas. By the end of adding everyone up there were exactly 9873 children out there.

We had a quick 5 minute meeting to tell everyone this news and to look out for people and we would do head counts every night and every morning.
Everyone was fine with this idea and we all got back to chatting and resting.
By 06:40 pm people started getting hungry so we decided to go and get food like we have been doing all the other nights. Luckily no one stole expensive things and none of the food supply stores ran out of food, becasue we al know that teenagers loooove to eat a lot of food. Especially my school. I ate my food and had something to drink and the time was 08:04 pm. People had started getting tired so we quickly organised to get into lines and do our head count and all 9873 of us were here which was really good.
I looked at my watch and the time read 08:45. I got back to my friends and we talked for a while aboit how we were missing our younger siblings and our parents and family memberd and some people cried but all we could do at this point was comfort them until we find some real answers about what was happening in this world.

When I went to bed it was 10:00 pm and most of us were really tired so we headed off to sleep.

Let's just await to see if anything else intensifying happens the next day...Will things go to plan or will there be more confusion?
