A/N- please leave a good review, this is my first story, hope you like it!
I woke up to cold metal pressed against my face. The whole metal room shuttered as it moved upwards. Fear struck me.
Where am I? I wondered as I sat up, breathing in the dusty air.
I cried out in terror as the whole room jerked. I was slammed into the cool metal wall. I slowly made my way to the corner of the metal room. I curled up in a ball in pure terror. Sweat beaded on my hands and forehead despite the cool air around me.
My name! I thought I can't remember my name!
In fact I couldn't remember anything about my past life as I sat, huddled in the ball. I could remember birds singing as I walked through a forest, a full moon, the oceans waves slapping against rocks. But I couldn't remember a single place or time I saw these things. I couldn't recall any people I knew either. Like my parents, friends, or even strangers.
All of a sudden the metal room lurched to a stop. I slowly stood up, my legs trembling in fright. I moved along the wall, feeling the cool metal on my hands as I searched for a way out.
"Hello?" I called out, my terrified voice echoed around me in the dark chamber
I couldn't see a thing in this pitch black. My eyes never adjusted to this darkness and I hated it.
"Is anyone there?" I continued to call out for help but no one answered me.
"Please help me!" I cried out, getting even more frightened and confused. Suddenly, a clank sounded from above. I looked up to see that a white line had appeared, shedding light into the box-like room.
The light expanded as a metal grating sound filled the air. The bright light stabbed my eyes so I had to look down and squint as I waited for my eyes to adjust to the light. I heard no sound. No voices, no laughter, no greetings. I was consumed by confusion, curiosity, and terror. My eyes adjusted to the bright, blinding light a couple minutes later.
I looked up, no one was there, not a single person.
"Hello?" I asked, searching above me for a face but all I could see was the blue, cloudless sky. No answer.
I looked around at my surroundings. There were boxes and I was in a big silver cage.
I need to get out of here I told myself.
I climbed up the tower of boxes, making my way to the top. I hauled myself over the edge of the box and found myself sitting on grass. I stood up, my legs started trembling and my mouth gaping when I saw what lay around me.
I was standing on a wide stretch of grass, about several times the size of a football field. In one corner of the field there was a huge groove of trees. But the most astonishing thing was what surrounded the field.
Big, grey walls, hundreds of feet tall, covered with ivy stood around the field. It made a perfect square around the field and each side was split right in the middle. From what I could see it lead to passages and corridor beyond the big walls.
My heart started to speed up, out of fright.
"Somebody please help me!" I screamed, looking for help. I listened. Again, no answer.
I started running. I ran through the field and through the forest calling for help.
"Is somebody here?! Please! Somebody please help!" I screamed over, and over. No one answered me, no one came to help me, I saw no one as I ran.
I finally stopped, in the middle of the forest, I collapsed to my knees sobbing into my hands.
Tears stung my eyes as I told myself to be strong, stop crying, and pull it together.
What if I'm the last person in the world? I wondered as I stood up, still trying to get myself to stop crying.
I slowly walked myself back over to the box I had came from. When I reached it I had finally successfully stopped myself from crying. The box I had come up in sat right in the middle of the field.
I glanced over at where one of the walls split. The passage was dark and gloomy. Curiosity pricked me as I walked over to it.
I peered in to the dark and eiry passage when I reached it. The big stone walls loomed over me, creating shadows over me which reached out to grab me.
BOOM! The thunderous sound threw me to the ground. A crunching, grinding sound filled the air as I looked up to see the walls were closing.
They were closing!
The gaps that were in the walls were closing! My only way out of this place was leaving!
I will not be stuck in this place! I told myself.
I ran through the closing walls, about to crush me. But at the last second I squeezed myself through, collapsing onto the stone ground in front of me.
Behind me, the doors closed,the same thunderous boom sounding through the air, preventing me from ever going back.
