Once the platform stopped moving, the man made a motion that clearly said, "follow me." The twelve kids got up and followed him through a series of long, dark, damp, hallways. Every once and a while, he would unlock a door with a special 4-digit code. Finally, he stopped between two doors, one pink with a sign that said girls, the other blue with a sign that said boys. "These will be your dormatories for the time that you stay here. Change into the clothes provided quickly, because I will be coming to collect you in five minutes.
Grace and five other girls shuffled into the room with the pink door and the six boys into the room with the blue door. There were six beds all with their headboards up against the wall, and a gray and black outfit on each bed. Grace as well as everyone else pulled on the clothes as quickly as possible. Grace fingered the scratchy black wool pants and the itchy gray shirt. she also pulled on gray and black striped wool socks, adn pulled her hair into a ponytai with the grey ponytail holder that was provided. the girls all looked at eachother and groaned. TThey looked terrible!
As they were complaining, they heard a knock on the door. "It is time to go to the first dinner everyone!" It was the man in black again. The girls all filed out the door in a single file line and followed the boys to the dining hall. The hall was not very impressive. It had low ceilings and one round table in the middle with twelve seats. Everyone sat down, no one saying anything except for Ben. "I'm so hungry! Can I get some food?" As soon as he said that, two people in white robes that covered their head, arms and entire body brought out a plate of food dor Ben. He dug in.
A minute or two after his first bite, he suddenly screamed a scream of pure agony, and fell over backwards, smashing his head in the tile floors. A pool of blood started to form around his head. Drew fell to the floor and started shaking the lifeless body and sobbing. He had just seen one of his best friends die. Everyone was in shock, and no one else ate anything that day.
