The Test Toward Humanity

I woke up with my feet in a pool of ice cold water and absolute darkness. I hear myself breathing hard and quickly try to stand up to get my feet up and out but i keep sliding back down, getting further and further into the water. I will my eyesight to try and adjust to the darkness but all i see is black. Dark. I am feircely trying to get up and try to feel around to get my bearings, but my feet are so numb that im not able to get my feet under me. 

I lay back and notice that im on a curved surface, feels like metal, and i swing my legs over to the right trying to get away from the frozen water. When i get my feet up, working my quad muscles to get them to stay out of the water, i lay on my side trying to keep myself from sliding back into the water. I try and test my feet by wiggling my ankle but i can't tell if im moving anything by how numb they are. And i can't reach down to try and feel some warmth in my legs without sliding my whole body into the water.

I lay down and think that if i just wait a while, i'll thaw out and see if there is some kind of door in this thing.

While i lay on this curved surface i try and think of how i got here...

Nothing comes to mind. Absolutley nothing at all.

Fear overwhelmes me from my head to my frozen toes and i cant think of anything, anything at all... 

I don't even know my name.

What the hell is my name? Where did i come from? Whats my dad's name? My mom's? How old am I?

Nothing. I don't remember anything. I'm thinking that maybe im just in shock, that i've gotten into a car accident and in a coma and im trying to get through my own thoughts and go back to the real world.

But then i can feel things... Touch things... in a dream, you can't do that...

What the hell is going on?

I can think, i can smell my surrondings which only smells like my fear seeping through my pores, i can't see anything... maybe i turned blind... Maybe...

This is so frightning, so terrifying, not knowing what the hell is going on... How do i get out of here... 

But now i'm putting myself back together. I need to get up, feel where i am, and see what i can do to figure out how i get out of here. 

From what i can tell, i've been freaking out for maybe a half hour or so, so i try and test my legs.

I bend my knee and put my foot on the ground. I feel hard, freezing, metal and realize im barefoot but i can feel a fabric coming out from over my ankle which tells me im wearing jeans, that are now soaked with ice cold water. 

I push up and get my feet to cooperate so that now i am standing, slanted, in a metal sphere that is at least 5 ft. tall. I have to duck my head to fit which tells me im around maybe... 5'4, 5'5 

I try and keep my fear at bay and walk around the small ball im inside of. 

This ball is at least 5ft in width, 5ft in length... but i can't feel any crease, seem, opening anywhere.

Which tells me i have no hope of getting out of here. 

I scream and holler as loud as a can. Pounding agaist these curved walls im caged in, but after what i think is 15 minutes later, nothing happens. 

Fear comes back and hits me like a freight train. It makes me shake and i start to feel my knees buckle from under me and i slide down into the water.

When i slide down i find out the it concaves into a hole 3ft wide and it doesn't end. 

Im sitting waist deep in ice cold water with my feet not touching the bottom of this sphere. 

Oh god... this is the only exit... if it is an exit... 

I dip my hand in and smell the water to see if anything might harm me, but i dont smell anthing... So it has to be clean water. Which puts my fear down a little.

But then the fear comes rushing back when i realise that i have to drop down into, what seems like, a bottomless pit of water...

I start to cry,whimpering and shivering with snot coming out of my nose. But then i take a deep breath, wipe away my snot then rinse my hand with the water im sitting in and rinse away my tears.

I take 3 deep breaths. 

1.

2.

3. 

and i drop in.

The freezing water consumes me and i almost gasp with how cold it is. But then i start pushing myself down with the sides of this hole, which feels rocky and rough.

I push down, down, and down and then i feel an opening on my right so i push up with my feet and swim out into what feels like the ocean. 

No more walls, No more tunnels, Just water. 

I swim up while i try desperatly to keep myself from not breathing. Im dieng for air... I keep it in as long as i can but then i see a shimmer of light. Which means im almost at the top. 

I swim as hard and as fast as i can and when im about to breath in a gulp of water, i reach the top and pop out and take in huge breath of air. 

I keep blinking when i realise the water i am now in is salty. Very salty, which brings up a memory that i can't latch onto.

I look all around me and see a huge

Ppl island to my left with people on the shore.

I start swimming to the shore with is only 10ft away.

I get to the shore and lay down on the sand and breath. The people pull me up and drag me up toward drier land so i don't wash off to sea.

 my arms feel like jello and my legs feel like led. im exhausted and try and speak but i get splashed with nice, clean, warm water onto my face.

I open my eyes wide and see 5 guys hovering above me.

I let out a shreik and try and push myself back away from these strange men.

They hold up there hands to show they have nothing that can harm me.

"Who are you? Whats going on? How did i get here?" I yelled.

I looked all around me and see 5 faces, all guys, looking at me with confused and sad expressions on their faces.

They all have the same clothes on. White t-shirts, Dark blue jeans, and Hiking shoes. i realise that they look relatively harmless but im still on edge. I don't know what the hell is going on. 

a boy who looked around 17 with big brown eyes and shaggy dark brown hair answered me with a very think southern accent.

"Hey now...  Everythin' is alright, Everythin' is ok, i know this is scary, but ya have to let us help ya understand, so ya need to cooperate... Alright?" 

Understand? Cooperate? I felt anger and fraustration mix in with the fear i was feeling and i could tell he knew that i was getting angry. 

A guy to my left looked around 15 that had blue eyes and short blond hair. He talked like he was from Ireland his whole entire life...

"Please love, just calm down nice and easy and let us 'elp ye. We all 'ave been thorugh what you are going through right now. We will explain everythin' to ye. but ye need to listen alrighty?"

I felt myself get dizzy and i fell back to darkness...
