Chapter 1 -- Max POV
I woke up and all I saw was wood above me. I felt my nerves and claustrophobia (sorry if I spelled that wrong) go wild and I realized that I seemed to be in a box. What the hell? I racked my brain for ANY memory that would help me know why I'm in a wooden box.
**Flashback**
"We got you, Max" the whitecoat said. "That's all we need. We just took the flock to try to get to you."
Then ... nothing. I couldn't remember anything else.
Then, something connected in my brain: This box was wood ... Either my captures:
A) Didn't REALLY want me dead or, atleast, to stay in the box
B) Were newbies and didn't know what the hell they were doing or what I was capable of. Or...
C)Have gotten dumber from all the experience they had had with me and the flock
I brought my fists back as far as it would go - which really wasn't very far - and punched the wooden ceiling. A crack formed and sand came through it. I gasped. Not only was I trapped in a wooden box - which was the least of my worries at the moment - I was buried alive in it as well - which ranked up in 2nd place of my worries chart next to the flock, of course.
"Damn." I muttered under my breath, then continued to punch the wood. I squeezed my eyes tight and held my breath as I made a huge hole in the ceiling and the sand came pouring down on me. I, blindly, stood up, sand still coming down like there was no tomorrow, and fought my way up to the surface. They dug me in deep and my lungs started to burn for air, but I kept fighting and I was rewarded by cool wind blowing on my face.
I lifted my body out of the ground and brushed my face as free of sand as I could get it and opened my eyes. I was in the middle of a desert, the moon shone high in the sky, and no one tried to kill me for once.
Huh ... that last part was unusual.
What do you think? I'll be adding another chapter tonight! Don't worry for those of you who are reading 'Save Me', I'll continue to update that one as well, but this one popped in my head while I was working on the other one and I just had to get it up! Reviews are welcome!
