When I woke up, I was in a small room. It was just four white walls, and a metal bolted door. I was laying on metal springs. I got up and walked around. A man walked in who was all dressed in white. He was bald, and was extremely tall. He had to duck to get in.
"Come." He said in a Russian accent. I didn't have any choice since he had grabbed my hair and dragged me. He led me down a flight of stairs, and led me into a long hallway where he stopped at a large, metal door. He put his hand on a screen that scanned his hand which was by followed a robot voice saying,"Verification accepted." Then the mad grabbed me again, dragged me through the doorway and into a large room. In the middle of the room was a desk, a small metal seat, and on the other side was a large, cushioned chair that was faced away from the door.
"I have ze girl." The man said, as he threw me into the chair and left.
The chair turned around to face me. The man spin the chair was absolutely terrifying. He was muscular, tattoos on his head, all the way down, he had rings on many of his fingers, and he wore a good chain around his neck.
"Well hello there. I see yet another tries to defy my rules." He smiled. Most of his teeth were missing, and the ones that were still there were either gold, or bright yellow with brown spots.
"What's your name, sweetheart?"
I looked down and didn't answer the question.
"I said, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" He banged his hands on the desk.
"Kate" I whispered.
"Your full name."
"Katherine Hope James"
"Well, Katherine James, do you know where you are?"
"No,sir." I said.
"You, Katherine, are in the facility where all defiant adolescents are sent. We take you and test you. We test your brain, we test your skill. We test everything. You are here to be taught a lesson. You tried to test my system, I will now test you."
He smiled and came closer, he was almost touching my nose with his nose,"And if you ever try to test me again, I will destroy you." He whispered. His breath reeked of tobacco.
"Say goodbye to your old life. This is your life now. Now, get out. It's lunch time."
Two men came and grabbed me and dragged me to a large room labeled,'Cafeteria"
There were hundreds of other children there. They all wore white. I looked down. I too, was wearing white.
The men dropped me and walked away. I walked into the cafeteria and followed what everyone else was doing. I got in line, took the food the machines gave me and then looked for a seat. There was a seat near the back of the cafeteria next to a boy. He looked about my age. 14 or 15. I went up to him. "Is this seat taken?" I asked. "Oh, no. Go ahead, sit down!"
"My names Michael" he said. "What's yours?"
"Kate."
He was really cute. Short brown hair. Soft curls. Big, hazel eyes.
"What a lovely name." He smiled.
"Thank you."
"Your eyes are so pretty!" He said.
I had dark blue eyes. My hair was long, blonde and wavy.
"Thank you."
"So, what are you in for?" He said taking a bite of bread."Stealing? Saying things about the government in public?"
I smiled,"No. I've been hiding all my life. They found me and my friends."
He looked at my in awe. "Y-you've been hiding.. You managed to go this long and you just got caught?"
I gave him a confused look. "What is that not normal?" He came closer and whispered,"Nobody ever hides for that long. If they do, they're caught within a day. Nobody here has done anything like what you've done."
"Oh.. I didn't realize it was such a big deal..."
"It'll be our little secret," he winked. I could feel myself blushing.
"So what are you here for?" I asked.
"Eh, the usual. Stealing some food. They caught me. Took me here."
I nodded. That was the usual?
"We should talk more often. How about you come hang out with me and my friends during recreational time?"
"I'd love too!" I exclaimed.
"Great! See you then!"
The bell rang and a low voice yelled,"Get to the lab, all of you. NOW!"
"Just follow me," Michael said.
