What if?

What if I'm in the Brains?

I soon fell asleep, waking up what felt like seconds later only to find the dark empty room with Ash in the corner.

“You ok? You've been down for hours," he got up from the floor and helped me out of my uncomfortable position.

“Yeah... I'm good," I smiled but my head killed. He's too kind, if I told him I was in agony I think he would flip out, he's just that kind of guy you know?

“Phew, Ever was freaking out, I'll find him later. But like how are you? When I got found I was eleven. I thought I was one of the Xmen for a month or two and thought we were going to save the world. I guess not, but was Flint subtle?"

“Nope, aha he was freaky but for some reason I didn't feel scared, I had some sort of adrenaline boost. It was weird..." I thought, I don't feel the same now, I'm not upset either just blank.

“Oh yeah, that happened to all of us. You'll get your emotions back soon don't worry. But what did he do? His finds always come back a little traumatized to be honest," he stretched his legs and yawned.

"Okay, well when I opened the door he literally knocked me over and was like searching my house! And that was all wierd enough right? But then he gave me three seconds to run out the house and then he..." and for the first time I could feel the pain and I felt hurt. Like someone had punched a whole through me, I was missing something. I wanted to cry, cry forever. Flint took away my life, my family, my home. It's gone and I can never go back to what life used to be. This is how I have to live, no teddy bear I got when I was three or parents to turn my light off. Nothing. I'm here now and I can never go back because my home is a pile of ashes on the floor. I will never be able to email Amy or Emily, watch all my shows that I obsess over or even read Harry Potter for the sixteenth time. I will have to life here. I can't change that.

“It's okay, don't worry. You're safe here and we're your friends," Ash hugged me and I felt like he's one of the only people I can trust right now. It feels good to know that I have someone there for me, that isn't calling dibs on me or trying to blow up my home.

“Thanks," I sniffed.

“It's getting late, I better find your dorm," and he showed me out the door, without the blindfold.

“Why did I have to close my eyes last time?"

“You weren't registered, I have no idea what that means, it's the Brains thing," he commented.

The corridor wasnt what I expected, it was basically a mall, it was muddy and some if the tiles were missing, there were hundreds of wires hanging from the ceiling. And I could see cameras in all the corners, what are they for?

“Brains?"

“Man, North was supposed to tell you this stuff. Anyway, so there are three groups you could say. There are the Finders; me, North, Ever and Flint. We go and find others, that's basically all we do. There are the Brains," he paused, “I don't really know what they do but it's kind of in the name. There are about seventeen of them and Norths sister Sunny, she's the only one I know. Then there are the people that take care of the rooms, medical stuff and everything else, they don't really have a name though," he took a left to a corridor with about fifty doors that all had names carved on them.

“Wait, what about Jane?" I asked, scanning the doors for my name.

“The Posse," he grumbled, “They do nothing but do their nails and put non lipstick," you could see he was upset about that. I don't blame him.

“Oh, but I found my name!" I put my hand on the door about to push it open when he stopped me.

“Erm, that's Ivy's," he pulled me along three doors to another one that had 'Ivy' engraved in it.

“Cool. Um. Do I just go in?"

“You have the card Ever gave you? Just swipe it over your name and it should-"

“Yes! Thanks Ash! I'll see you later!"

“Um, it's like two AM, I'm going to sleep so good night," and he walked off to his door and when I herd it slam, I closed mine too.

Right. I looked around, I found a bed and a trunk. Wow, I'm living the dream.

There were jeans, trainers, various blue and white tops and undies.

I'm sorry but how do they know what size I am? I just hope a girl got my stuff ready. There didn't seem to be many girls around here really, Jane and the Sunny girl were all I had heard of or seen.

Who's Ivy? What happened to her? Is she still here? Why do we have the same name?

But the biggest question on my mind was what group I'm going to be in, I want to be a finder, I want to adventure and be with people that seem relatively nice.

What if I'm in the Brains?
