The Box

Darkness, thats the only thing I could see as soon as I opened my eyes, for a moment I thought they were still closed. After a few minutes I started making out the shapes that surrounded me. I was in a metal room that swayed as it moved upwards. I sat there in silence, too scared to make a sound. 'How did i get here?' I questioned myself, as hard as i tried to remember i couldn't, I tried to think of the last thing I saw, but nothing came to mind, thats when one question popped in head 'Who am I?' I felt shivers run through my body as I thought about it.

I tried to stand up to find a way out of this place, but all too quickly I fell to the ground as an umberable pain shot up my leg. I placed my hand on it and felt the liquid that was dripping down my leg, i knew i had to get out quick if i didnt want to bleed to death. After what felt like hours (which probably were) the elevator came to a harsh stop, making me fly up in the air and land back down hitting my injured leg.

I closed my eyes trying to ignore the pain, when all of the sudden i heard a loud bang and light started coming into the box. I tried to open my eyes, but the brigtness from the outside wouldnt let me, so i kept them closed. I could hear a few gasps and whispers around me

Is that a girl?!?!

Why is she bleeding?

Someone get down there

What are we gonna do with her?

The last one scared me,but i had to stay calm and act rationally. Suddenly a loud metalic sound was heard and vibrations traveled through the ground, letting me know someone was in the box with me. I felt my heart beating faster and faster as the person aproached me. As soon as they were near enough. I opened my eyes and used my good leg to sweep whoever was in the room with me off their feet. I analyzed my surroundings as fast as humanly possible, I looked up to find myself surrounder by about fifty guys. I climed out of the box in the blink of an eye, not letting the pain in my leg stop me. I started to run, i didnt know where I was going, I was just running as if my life depened on it (which it probably did). I looked ahead and saw a hut and behind it was a forest.

The adrenaline had made the pain in my leg almost vanish but I knew it was slowing me down. From where I was, I could hear some of the guys screaming

She is a runner!

HA! remind you of anyone?

She's fast!

GET HER GREENIE! - some of the guys cheered making my heart drop as I hear quick footsteps aproaching me.

I pushed my feet as fast as I could but it wasn't quick enough as I felt a pair of arms grab me from behind, tackling me to the ground. I landed on top of my captor and let a quick "son of a bitch" under my breath as I elbowed him in the stomach, I didnt use enough force to really hurt him, but it was enough for him to let me go. I stood up as quickly as my feet allowed me to and kept running, as I got near the hut I saw a couple of spears lined up on the outside. Without hestation I took one and ran into the forest.

After what felt like hours of running which in really probably was about 15 minutes, I was deep in the forest. I had made some random turns here and there so they wouldnt be able to find me. I slowed down and looked around me. I saw a tall tree and started climbing it. After struggling for a while, I finally got to a safe enough branch and just sat there, taking in what had just happened.

Many questions ran through my mind, but they all came back to the fact that I dont know who I am. After thinking for a while and catching my breath, I tried to hear if the people were still looking for me, luckly i heard nothing. I shifted my position, but stopped as soon as I felt the pain in my leg. I tried to pull the leg of the pants up to see the wound, but it was almost imposible without hurting myself more, so i took the spear and cut the leg of the pant just below the knee.

Once I removed the piece of fabric, I could clearly see the wound. A big slash ran from the middle of my leg to almost my foot, the cut wasn't too deep, but I was lossing blood. I remvoved my belt and took the piece of fabric that i had cut off before. I pressed the cloth against the wound a hiss scaped my lips as the pain shot up my leg, I quickly pulled the belt around my leg over the piece of cloth and mentally prepared myself for the pain that I was about to feel.

I grabbed the neck of my shirt and put it in my mouth to stop myself from screaming or biting my tounge, and in one quick motion I pulled the strap of the belt, making an immense amount of pain travel through my body.

After a while I had finally calmed down. I started thinking about everything that had happened and one thought kept circling my mind....

I'm so fucked.
