He gently moves his hand to my back and guides me to a cafeteria area. There are people eating an carrying out conversation. He leads me to the food line.
"You must be hungry, hu?" he says and I realize I am. All the food looks foreign yet delicious, and smells strangely appealing.
"Yah a little," I lie.
"Help yourself," he says gesturing towards the food. I grab a tray and fill if with a strange food an some strange liquid. My curiosity overtakes me and I sniff the liquid. Ugh, it smells like vodka, there must be some in it. I don't drink. I through the cup away I'd rather be thirsty than drink.
"Have some water," Chase offers me a cup. He must've seen my expression.
"Thanks," I thank him as I take the cup. Then he leads me to a table and we sit and eat. I bite into the food reluctantly and it's amazing. There's an explosion of wonderful taste and flavor in my mouth and immediately I want more. The next bite is enthusiastic and Chase chuckles.
"Pretty good, hu?" he manages to say
"Mmhmm," is all I can voice. I swallow and start lagging. "What is this?" I ask. "I've never tasted anything like it."
"What your eating right now is what we call 'Green Intestines' it's actually vary popular around here," he says right before I cut him off.
"Intestines! I'm eating something's intestines!" I say making him laugh, "Stop, it's not funny," I say before I start laughing too.
"Relax its not really intestines that's just the name," he explains.
"Well good, now I won't feel guilty eating it," I eat meat but when their insides have to be pulled out to make food, that is something I won't take part in.
"As soon as we finish eating I'll give you a tour of the place an show you to your room," he says. I'm going to stay here? All my clothes are at home and so is my phone. I have a job I need to get to. It's only a summer job, I know, but still I need to pay for my house.
I suddenly realize I didn't see an exit anywhere around here.

As promised as soon as we finish our food he leads me through the different rooms in this place. The training area, levels one, two, three, and four. The hangout area, restrooms, gym, bar, maze, and much more. Last, the area where all the rooms are located.
"Everyone gets their own room. Mine is E4 yours, is G6," he explains. It saddens me that out rooms aren't that close together, but I'll live. He opens the door and as I walk in the first thing I notice is the large, made bed, then the empty closet and then the bathroom. it's really luxurious for an underground establishment.
"Someone will be by with some clothes for tomorrow, good night," he says before leaving. I look around after shutting the door. I lie down on the bed, look to the side and notice a digital clock that reads eight o'clock in the morning.

I must have dozed off by, the time I wake up the clock reads eight thirty. i Stand an walk to the bathroom there is already a toothbrush and toothpaste in here and I realize I haven't brushed my teeth. So I grab the toothbrush, apply the toothpaste and brush my teeth. I desiderata take a shower. Before I strip myself of my clothes I make sure there is a towel, an sure enough, there is.This place is really equipped.
I put the towel on the towel rack, I then start stripping my clothes off, get in the shower and turn the water on. The hot water feels great against my skin. I enjoy that felling for a while, then wash my hair.
I turn the water off and wrap the towel around myself, only to find out that the towel fits me about six inches above my knee. I wipe the steam off the mirror and grab the hair brush in one of the drawers and work the tangles out of my hair.
It gets stuffy in here really fast. I wash my face with cool water and it refreshes me right away.
I walk out and the steam rushes out of the bathroom. I look up to find Hunter sitting in the corner of my bed.
