Locked In

Chapter 1

Lisa's P.O.V

I felt a cold metal caressing my back. Slowly my eyes begin to open, adjusting to the gloomy lighting of the room. I turned my head so my right ear was touching the ground. I saw many other people. Out of shock I quickly sat up. "Finally another person is awake." Said a voice from behind me. I turned around and looked at the person. Due to the lighting I could barely make out the figure. It was a boy with dark brown hair. He had freckles glossing his nose and olive oil colored skin.

"What's your name?" He asked outstretching his hand. I shook it. "I'm Lisa, You?" "I'm Donovan." I slid my hand out of his and put it back on the cold floor.

"So do you know where we are?" I asked, hoping he would know the answer because I didn't. "Not a single clue. But you know there are other kids here. When they wake up there gonna be asking the same questions you are." Donovan said with an 'I have an idea tone' "What are you saying?" "I'm saying we should lead them you know? Like king and queen." I shook my head disgusted. "I don't marry strangers."

"Not literally!" He looked somewhere above my head and stood up from his criss cross sitting position. He began walking towards what his eyes were locked on. I got off of my knees and followed him. Just then I noticed my outfit. I was wearing sweatpants and a black shirt. I had on black shoes with bright green lines on the sides. I looked back up at Donovan and caught up with him. "What are you looking at?"

He grabbed my head and tilted it upwards. Then I saw it. There was a clock hanging on wall. I stared at it for a while and then realized the hands were stuck at the twelve. "It's broken." I sighed. "Or not ready to start yet." He said confusingly. "Who... Who are you?" A feminine voice asked. we turned to our left and saw a short girl with red hair in a pony tail. We walked over to her and introduced ourselves. "Hi I'm Donovan, and this is Lisa. Were the leaders of this group." Donovan stated proudly.

I socked his arm. "We were just the first two people to wake up." I stated. The girl looked at us and then her mood transformed. Her lips transformed into a large smile. "I'm Darby. I'm 12. Do you know where we are? Or how we got here?"

Knowing that Donovan was going to answer the question I turned my head and looked at the people still sleeping. I counted 9. I turned back to Donovan and Darby and saw that they were still conversing. How did we get here? Where are we? I can't remember anything except that my name is Lisa, Im 12 and I am a girl. "Lisa I think Darby hear could lead with us... what about you?" he asked in somewhat of a whisper.

"Ummm sure, but don't you think we should worry about more pressing matters? Like how the heck we got in here in the first place?" I said in a somewhat shout. He raised an eyebrow. "Ok, we'll start... now." he walked back over to Darby. I walked to the wall on my left and saw a light switch. I flipped it on and heard Donovan shriek. "Woah can you warn us next time Lisa?"

I chuckled lightly at his shriek and then observed the room closer. The floor was a dark gray color. The walls were all white. The sudden change in lighting caused 3 others to wake up.

One of them was a boy with dirty blonde hair and caramel color skin. There was a boy with short black hair with caramel colored skin. The other one was a girl with wavy amber hair and what looked like brown eyes.

"Morning and before you ask we don't know where we are and how we got here." I said enthusiastically. All three of them stared at me, at the ground, then back at me. The girl with Amber hair stood up. "Umm ok. Well my names Imani." she said as she stuttered nervously. She walked over towards the wall where I was standing. Darby and Donovan began to walk over.

I signaled the two boys still sitting on the floor to come join our little chat circle. They walked over and joined us. "Hi my name is Wesley and I'm 13." said the boy with the dirty blonde hair. "Uhh I'm Sean and I'm 12." The other boy stated. Me Donovan and Darby introduced ourselves politely.

"Good morning new recruits. We three are the leaders of th..." Before Donovan could finish his sentence a loud masculine voice came from a speaker lined somewhere in the wall. "Hello!" It said enthusiastically. "Challenge one begins in three minutes!" The speaker turned off and on cue, the clock began to tick. "Challenge one?" I asked. What do they mean by challenge one!?" Darby screamed in a panic.

Donovan Sean and Wesley ran to the right wall and began to bang on it. Me Imani and Darby stared at each other in shock. "Lava!" Imani suddenly screamed as the floor began to rise and lava seeped into the room.
