I come to in a dimly lit room, strapped to what felt like a medical table that they use at the dentist's office. 

"Welcome back dear." I hear a sweet voice say. I turn my head, trying to find the source of the voice.  Something metal is pressed semi-roughly against my temples. It's cold against my skin.

"You weren't supposed to wake up just yet sweetheart." A woman leans over me, wearing what looked to be an old fashioned nurses outfit, her dark hair flows out from under her nursing cap. Her smile is sadistic as she raises a perfectly plucked brow.

"Goodnight sweetie." she disappears from view as I am once again flooded with an electric shock, The feeling becoming all to familiar, and everything goes black once again.

The next time I wake, I'm in a bed, other boys and girls my age of all races are surrounding me. They're whispering amongst each other. I sit up and everyone goes silent.

"What's your name." says the closest girl, a short red head with dark brown eyes and freckles. The look on her face told me she wasn't the kind to deal with petty things or really people in general.  I do my best to smile up at her, sincerely.

"I'm L-luna." I stammer out. She exchanges a meaningful glance with a taller girl with long curly blonde hair before looking back down to me. She gestures for the other to leave, and they immediately do, moving into smaller groups where the whispering resumes. She rolled her eyes and pointed to her chest. 

"Names Anna, and that-" she paused, nodding in the direction of the girl who she had exchanged the look with only moments ago. "-Is Katherine. Welcome to the colony."
