When I awoke the first thing I felt was a pain in my neck, i was laying crookedly on a hard bed that now that I think of it felt more like a table. My neck was bent a little odd, I guess I slept wrong, but I didn't remember falling asleep. My brain quickly woke up the rest of the way and the first thing I remember is Zane's death, or I guess I should say murder. I try to sit up only to find that i have been strapped down I struggle against my restraints and start yelling for someone to untie me.

"Do we release him?" A female voice asks.

"No, the boss said to let him calm down" another voice replies.

"Untie me!" I yell practically begging them to as I continue to struggles against the straps. I stop struggling when Mr.Barren walks in. "Here to kill me to?" I snarl, hating him for what he did.

"No, you will do much better then the other one" Mr.Barren says. "Untie him" he orders another person who was out of my eye sight at the time. A red haired woman hurries over to untie me, making sure to undo the straps quickly, almost like she was afraid I would attack her as soon as she did. But my quarrel wasn't with her, it was with Mr.Barren. "Get up" Mr.Barren orders "attack me and you will be tied down again, if you don't then I'll have someone take you to your new room".

I sigh, i didn't want to be shot so I sat up slowly "I would like to go to my room" I tell him.

"Good" Mr.Barren nods and turns to the red haired woman "take him to his room, he's saying with Terror and Tremor" he says. The woman nods and takes my arms rather ruffly, she leads me out of the room and down a gray stone hallway.

"Who are Tremor and Terror?" I ask but get no answer from the woman who seemed to just tune me out "hey!" I yell at her and snap my fingers in front of her face. I yelp when the woman smacks me.

"Shut up and you will find out who they are" the woman growls.

"Ok" I say and tub my cheek. Okay so the woman wasn't exactly how I had thought she was, no wonder she works for Mr.Barren. I stay quiet the rest of the time as I follow the woman around several turns and some different hallways.

"Here we are" The woman says, stopping a plain wood door.

"Where exactly is here?" I asks.

"I told you, you would see. You dont listen very well do you" the woman says and opens the door, heading inside. Leaving me alone on the eerie hallway, giving me no choice but to follow.

I look around the room, it was a normal army like setting that you would see in movies, bunk beds up against the wall, surprisingly neat, no belongings cluttered anywhere in the room. Then there was the two boys, sitting in the middle of the room on the floor. Playing a card game. One had light brown hair streaked with blonde, I could see two tattoos on each arm, a band all the way around his arms, close to his wrist, the tattoos were dark blue, almost black. I could see similar tattoos on the other boy, a blonde haired boy. But the blonde haired one had three tattoos one on his right arm and two on his left. It puzzled me on why they would have matching tattoos and why the blonde haired you would have more then the other boy.

"Terror, Tremor, meet your new roomate" the woman says.

The blonde haired boy looked at me, I was assuming he was terror, his face was tattooed like a skeletons and to me, he was definitely terrifying. "Whats your name" the boy growls. Even his voice was terrifying, it made him sound furious.

"G-Garret Shade" I stammer.

"Thats a weak name, and so stupid sounding" the boy growls "my names Terror, this is my brother Tremor" he says "I'm sure we will find you a good name, much better then Garret" Terror says, saying my name with hatred and disgust.

"Umm...ok?" I says, confusion in my voice.

"Whats wrong with you?!" Tremor snaps.

"Nothing" I tell him quickly.

"Good" tremor sneers.

Terror looks at the clock "time for bed" he growls "you get the floor Garret" he sneers at me.
I nod and sighs, watching them get in there beds. I lay down on the mat that was on the floor and sigh, starring at the ceiling. I couldn't sleep knowing that all I would see would be Zane being shot again. I sigh softly and close my eyes.
