I wake up to a bright light directly in my face and out of focus but once it is in focus I can see the light and the doctors in paper blue dresses with a matching paper hat, white masks, and plastic blue gloves. They all just stare at me and I feel my right wrist has been cut and it hurts like I've never felt before. I'm restrained so I can't see what has happened and before they even talk I'm knocked out agin. When I wake up a second time I'm back in the room I share with Andrew, Conner, and Mack only Mack isn't here. I sit up by pushing myself completely unaware of what I woke up to first and when I start to sit up my wrist hurts more than I remember and I remember what I woke up too just a while ago. The doctors, being restrained, my wrist everything I remember it and it wasn't a dream. I let out a sigh at the pain gritting my teeth from the pain and I'm so tempted to scream but i know I shouldn't wake the others. Suddenly the door in the wall opens and they men in suits charge in but I lay back down before they do so they won't bother me and they are carrying something but I don't know what, they rush to Mack's bed and put it down and charge back out in silence. I sit up once the door closes and see what they put there was a body but I don't know who then the magic rope that tied me earlier ties me back and I know it's Mack. They don't want me going to beat her up agin and I won't, I feel bad for her so all I do is lay back down and cradle my right wrist in my other hand keeping it close to my head for protection. I would look at it but it's wrapped in gauze and it's too dark to see exactly what has happened to it. So I try to sleep but can't because I'm too afraid of what will happen to me next if I do. More men in suits come in and take Andrew out then later bring him back and get Conner so what they are did to me they did to everyone else. I do go to sleep but only because I drifted off. When I wake up for a third time I'm still in the room I share but I'm untied and there are my dance clothes and a t shirt that I wear to dance at the foot of my bed and this makes me feel worse because it reminds me of my friends and memories of dance that I will never get to see or relive agin. I wonder what the rest of my family are doing and if they know I'm gone and what about my friends they know I wasn't at school and this is the second day in a row I bet my phone has been going off with texts from my friends wondering where I am but I don't have my phone so I can't reply. I miss them so much, they are the ones who keep me going in life and here there isn't anyone to motivate me but the only thing that is, is how much I want to get home and see them all. That's it I have to get home to see them, my friends and family I need to hear their laughs and see their smiles that I miss so much. I sit up and forget about my wrist until I put pressure on it and it hurts so much I want to rip it off. I immediately move my hand from the bed and push myself up with my left hand. When I'm up I can see my wrist in the light it's still bandaged so I start to take off the bandages when my wrist zaps me. It sends the shock from my wrist to the rest of my body and I jump at it. What was that? What have they done? I start to unwrap it agin and it shocks me agin and I jump agin but keep pushing on to take off the gauze while being shocked multiple times I finally get it off and it's definitely not what I thought its worse. My skin is sewn onto a black wrist watch that is full of buttons and is blinking now I get another shock this time with more power and it makes me jump off the bed and I fall to the cold floor. The thump wakes andrew and Conner Mack is already awake. They both jump up only to see their wrists are wrapped up too. My watch beeps four times and a hallo graphic image appears in front of me it's Dron. "so you all have discovered your watches." he says in a gruffly voice and I just watch in amazement as Andrew and Conner gather around me to watch Dron in amazement too but Mack sits in her bed watching from far away. "what do you think and you don't talk." he is pointing at me, he knows I hate this and I do. They sewed a watch to my wrist! It will never come off. So he can see us. I want to scream every cuss word I can at him but I follow orders and stay quiet. "I think they are........... A little too much." Conner says and I nod agreeing with him even though Dron doesn't want my opinion "yeah I have to agree with Conner." Andrew says. "okay now you if you promise to not yell." Dron says pointing at me and starring me down. "I hate them. Will we be stuck with these forever?" I ask and he sis and explains how we will always have to wear these and if we do anything wrong they will know and shock us, so this is how we will all communicate. "fun" is all I say and Dron automatically turns to me "shut up or I'll shock you." he is starring me down and I feel his eyes trying to make me small but it doesn't work I am big and not afraid of his eyes. Then I feel another pair of eyes watching me but they aren't drons they are cold and make me shiver sending a shock through me but not from my wrist it's from my heart and is sent through my veins. It's the devil watching me, mesmerizing my every move. I look around for him but I see nothing but the people in the room with me. I turn back to the hallo graphic projection of Dron cautiously, "what?" asks Dron but I don't answer he does for me "you can feel him watching you huh?" my reply is nodding my head
