I didn't know how to go on.
I knew where I was, when I was and what I was. But I couldn't find a way out. Well I was already outside, but the electric fence caged me, well us, in this place.
Sector 347, they call it.
I walk further north. My bare feet sink into the snow. I was only wearing the white shirt and shorts they gave us. Before I escaped I thought I would freez to death instantly, but when I really ran outside the could didn't harm me. In fact I don't feel it, ice or fire. The others are like this as well which scares me. They are dangerous. Even more than I am myself. And they are hungry, we all are, there is no food here. If they could they would eat each other.
I find the landscape here to be quite pretty actually. Endless white, it has been snowing every day so far. I am near the bottom of the mountain, here are still some evergreen trees.
I sit down in the snow, my knees pulled to my chest and my arms wraped around them. There is nothing we can do here besides hiding from them.
Number 6 killed himself yesterday. The others and I have still hope, well its more the rage and anger we hold for them that keeps us alive. 9 tryed to kill one of them when they were on their daily searches. It didn't end well. They got him, took him back with them. I sneaked up to one of the airvents. His screams could be heared the whoule night.
Suddenly I was pulled out of my thaughts by 5.
"Hey 4! We are leaving this place come on!"
I looked up at him. 5 is a tall well build boy of 17, if he counted the days since they took him corectly. I don't count, never have. I have been taken when I was 16, so I'm probably around 19 or something.
"How?"
"Hikers, baby, hikers! They are in their pathetic tent over there" he waved his right arm in the air and pointed roughly north "8 followed them. There has to be a hole in the fence somewhere! Come on already!"
So I stood up. We started walking into sayed direction and soon met up with the others. No words were shared. We don't need to, what would be happening was clear to everyone of us.
When it begun I stayed back.
5 blocked the hole in their tent that was letting the smoke from the fire they had made out and only a few seconds later the hikers cut open their tent and stumbeled out of it, needing to breathe oxigen.
But before they could comprehend what was happening 8,5 and 3 started hitting them violently. The hikers were all only in their undergarments and thin shirts, they were dressed like us pretty much.
A few of them tryed to run away but they were quickly followed.
It was a gory scene, the snow was turning more red by the second.
I saw how 5 ate the arm of a bald small men and how 8 ripped out he toungh and eyes of a blonde slender woman. I saw how two of them tryed to climb up a tree, but they were quickly pulled down, throughn against it and then suffered the same fate as their friends.
"Bitches, let's move!" shouted 3.
We followed the hikers footprints for eight days. We didn't sleep, didn't rest.
Finally the fence appeared at the horrizon and so did the hole in it we hoped fore.
5, 3 and 8 started running ahead, 7 jumped up and down out of joy.
When I walked through the fence after the others I stoped and looked back.
"Fuck you." I wispered. "Yeah fuck you!" 5 screamed from besides me. The others followed our example with "fuck you's, I hate you's, kiss my ass'es" and hysterical laughers. And actually I joined in. For the first time in years we were free. Well we were now, but our freedom was still fragile. So we quickly moved on.
We walked for days again. We passed a few small villaged then we separeted.
We never liked each other. When we were escaping from our abusers we had a reason to somewhat stick together, but when it came down to it we wouldn't give a finger for each other.
