The Tower

*Sophia's point of view*

My head feels so sore. I open my eyes and sit up. I'm on a bed, everything is blurry but I can make out a bedroom. It is massive. Maybe even the size of house.

I'm wearing a ripped school uniform. Torn to shreds but still hanging on me by little bits of fabric.

I get up and see that there are clothes set out for me. It's a black top with snowflakes all over it. The trousers are black jeans but with a few rips in them at the knees.

I'm in my school uniform which is so uncomfortable and baggy I hate it. But first things first is to find a way out of here.

Going to the door I hear a cough coming from outside. I look around to see if there is anything blunt and looks heavy that I can hit them with. Nothing. But there is a window.

Looking out the window I see grassland and forest for miles. But I looked down... the drop was insanely high. Am I in some sort of dungeon tower? Or some rich persons house?

WHY, WHERE. WHAT, HOW THE HELL?

I hear a foot step behind me... I can't move... fear crawls all over my body... thoughts creep into my head...

I feel a hand resting on my shoulder, it's gentle, soft, smooth but firm as if to reassure me. I manage to turn my head to see who it is.

It is a teenaged boy. About my age he has short and scruffy black hair. He has a green t-shirt and camouflage trousers. His eyes aren't human, the look more beast than anything else and they're are piercing like they're stabbing me just with his gaze.

"Hello, I guess you're new here." His voice was calming and he didn't seem to be on the offensive.

"Yeah..." I stubble backwards as memories come back to me of what happened before I got here. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!!" I got given martial arts lessons when I was a lot younger. But I can remember somethings. I get into a defensive fighting stance.

He sighed and took a step closer to me. I punched him hard... like very hard...

He went flying into the wall at the other side of the room... I ran over to him, to make sure he was alright. As I did, he just got up laughing...

He mumbled under his breath something I couldn't hear and he then walked out the door and said something to a guard, then ran off.

A wave of dizziness hits me and my eyes feel heavy. I fall over and darkness...
