13.Thirteen

7.Seven

Ellie was playing tic tac toe with Thirteen, who seemed happy. Alex marched over and pulled Ellie away. "What heck Alex", Ellie said. "We aren't allowed talk to him", Alex said. "I think there is something wrong with him". Ellie pushed her brothers hand off of her shoulder and said, "You have to be nice to everyone, no matter their circumstances". Alex nodded, he couldn't argue with this. Just as Ellie would say something else, the iron gates opened and three kids git thrown in. This was a first that three kids had been thrown into the arena at once. The three kids got up, brushed themselves off and walked into the group. They communicate with any of the other kids on the way, they just went to the tree where Thirteen was sitting and started talking a weird language. "Who the hell are those kids?", Alex asked Eleven. "Everybody knew they would come", Eleven explained. "They are the other unlucky numbers that have been reserved for them; Four, Three, and Thirty Nine". Twelve butted in and said, "Thirty Nine is from Afghanistan, Four is from Japan, and Three is from Vietnam". "Are they planning something?", Light asked. "We don't know. Very little is known about these numbers", Eleven said. Ellie saw flashes of light from the kids under the tree, she knew they was planning something disastrous.

After evening Glop and the sight of a orange sun behind the forever grey clouds, it was back to the cabin for bed. Ellie obeyed and went to bed, saying goodnight to Alex. After she knew everyone was asleep, she went out the window and went to investigate the unlucky numbers. When she got a good hidden spot to watch them, she heard shouting. "You aren't knocking them out hard enough goddammit!", was what Ellie first heard. "I want the kids to at least remember their names and not be named mindless numbers!", was another thing she heard get shouted. Ellie looked form her hiding spot and saw two guards shouting, one with a handlebar mustache. "You saw what happened to Thirteen and look what happened! Thirteen isn't his name, no. His name is Ben", the guard with the mustache said. "It's your job to make sure that they remember nothing! That is what you are employed to do!" . "These kids are scared! They have to bury bodies of previous experiments. They get bad food and no explanation". "It's better we employ kids to do it then ourselves". Ellie thought she had been spotted and ran back to the cabin, and climbed through the window. She couldn't wait to tell the others what she had witnessed.
