Remember Humanity

Chapter 1

Dark. It's really dark in here. Where are the freaking lights?

I moved my hand only to be stopped by what felt like a wall. Dang it I ran into a wall! I take a sharp right only to bounce back off another wall.

Geez I found myself in a corner. I take another sharp right and guess what? I hit another wall immediately!
Okay something is seriously wrong.

I put my arms straight out like a bird and felt two walls. I then turned and got the same results. "This is bad," I said out loud to myself.

I pushed hard against one of the walls. Nothing.

Oh my gosh am I in a box buried underground somewhere? No. The air seems too good. It's not stuffy enough to have a short limit.

"Hello! Is anyone there?" I yelled out. Wow is that really my voice? It seems kinda low.

"Hi, Hello!? Where are you?" I heard a low and rather grumble like voice call back to me. I'm pretty sure it's a man.

I sighed out in relief. Hallelujah I'm not alone. There's someone to get me out of this blasted box.
"I'm in this box thing! Where are you?" I answered.

"I'm in this weird hall wait just a second I think I found the box you're in." They replied seeming closer this time.

Oh thank goodness! Wait what if this person is who put me in here? What if he's a murderer and is trying to kill me? Oh well too late for that now.

Crrrreeeeaaaaak.
I squinted my eyes against the bright light that suddenly invaded the darkness. My vision blurred and had spots in it til it finally cleared.

A face. A pretty cute face to be honest. I had been correct earlier the voice was indeed a man. He had brown eyes and dark hair that could've been classified as a very dark brown or black. The hair was short on the sides and a bit longer on top. I like it which is strange since I don't really usually... wait what am I talking about. His nose was straight and he had a very very nice jaw line... yup I like it.

"Are you going to take my hand or just stay in that stationary capsule?" He asked in an amused tone.

I felt blood rush to my face and my eyes widen... well that's embarrassing. I quickly took his hand that I had definitely not noticed before. His hand was rough and visibly calloused. It felt nice against my smaller smooth one.

I stepped out of what was it he called it? A stationary capsule! The room was plain with lights hanging down from the ceiling. Not a single thing in it except the capsule. There wasn't even a window! Instead of a door there was just a rectangle in the wall leading into a hallway.

I turned and looked at the man. Wow he is tall... or at least taller than me, I have to look up just to talk to him and keep eye contact.

" where are we? What's going on?" I asked him.

He looked at me shocked but it was also mixed in with something else... fear.

He ran his hand through his hair making it stand up a bit. He took several paces forward then back to me. "I thought that you'd know," he whispered out.

"What do you mean you thought I'd know!? You're the one who knew that I was in a stationary capsule!" I exclaimed throwing my arms forward.

"You didn't know? It kind of just came to my head. I just knew it." He said looking at me weirdly.

Wait a minute. Remember. I ran through my mind thinking of different things and coming up completely empty. My breathing started to get heavy. Oh no!

I felt my self shaking then looked up at the man. He has both of my shoulders in each hand. He was what shook me. "Hey calm down what's wrong?" He asked me looking genuinely concerned.

His look left me breathless. I shook my head softly to reign in my thoughts. After I regained my ability to breathe it came out normally.

"Why do I not remember anything?" I asked him.

"That's ridiculous you have to remember something." He said with a small smile while rolling his eyes.

"Then what's my name?" I asked him nervously and slightly embarrassed. I should know my own darn name.

His smile faltered and I watched as his eyes glazed over a bit. His hands dropped from my shoulders and he frowned.
"I don't know... you're right I don't remember anything," he whispered out.

Just as the words left his mouth a faint beeping started from the hallway. I turned my head to see which side of the hallway it came from. When I turned back after discovering it was on the left I met his eyes.

"Why do I get the feeling that we're totally screwed?" I asked him.
