A/N: So this is a rewrite of my previous story Scared of Thunder? The new title is so bad omg I'm so bad at titles. I've decided to rewrite it since it seemed as I lost my motivation for the story but I hope that going over it again will reignite my love for it. It is centered around my OC, Hinata. So, without further ado….
THIS IS GONNA BE HARDER THAN I THOUGHT THIS SHIT IS SO BAD WTF WAS I THINKING WHEN I WROTE IT

"Something bad is about to happen, most likely one of us is going to get hurt soon," a small child, looking to be five, said. She was looking straight at another boy, who looked quite similar to her.
"Don't say that, it might actually come true!" the boy whisper-screamed.
They were in a tower, called by most the the Trophaeum Tower, living there all of their few years. The boy, Spitfire, was far too young at the time to remember the details of how they came to be there. Trophaeum tower is a larger-than-normal geothermal research center. The boy and girl, revealed to be siblings as they are the only ones who look so much like the other, live in block 73 with a few others. There are the two sets of twins(Sora and Nike; Kilik and Simca), a boy with really long blonde hair(Falco), another with even longer black hair who had unusually big muscles for his age(Dontores), a bipolar idiot(TBA), and pervert who likes wearing a mask(Black Burn)(1).
It was horrible to survive there, and, although they were not starved, the food they got was equivalent to what one fed a pig. Weirdly, every child occupying the tower had the same eyes, the peculiar cross-shaped pupils. Everyday they are brought out of their prison-like conditions to be experimented on and to 'train'. Apparently, the boy's sister thinks today, something especially bad will happen. It's very bizarre, but that girl is always correct.
"She has Bard's tongue," was once coming out of #31460 mouth, who is often described as an bipolar idiot. He's the oldest of the group,but everyone, even the youngest, is more mature than him, and those small children can't even sleep alone! After the experiments, most refuse to tell what they go through, so the boy(Spitfire) does the same. Suddenly, one of our experimenters called out Spitfire's number. He went out obediently, unaware of what his sister was going to do.
Something was going to happen today and the young girl could feel it as if it was running through the veins of her soul itself. She had this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and could almost feel the maliciousness in the air. She voiced these thoughts to her supposed brother.
"Don't say that, it might actually come true!" she heard him whisper suspiciously.
'It's not my fault I trust you with some of my thoughts because I trust you,' the girl thought angrily. Well, maybe her argument isn't valid, since she did refuse to tell her dear brother what they do to her. The child shivered at the thought of it. She hoped the experiments on the others weren't as bad as hers were, not realising that it was practically the same as hers.
Suddenly, a mischievous thought came to the five-year old's mind, "How about we "skip" today's experiments." Out of Nowhere, they called her brother's number, breaking her out of her thoughts.
"Time for the fun to begin!" she thought mischievously. When the adults who apparently ran this place opened the door to let him out, she used her small physique to her advantage, hiding in her brother's shadow when they left the room. Her brother always followed his torturers, unlike the small girl, so the torturer walked without a glance to see if he was following. The girl felt the stares of the other roommates staring at her, and she could see that the bipolar idiot was about to call out to her.
Quickly, she turned back slightly and put a finger to her lip, telling him to shut the hell up. She waited until they were out of the hallway before she stopped unconsciously holding her breath. She looked into the small window that now separated her from her fellow torturees.
"+10 points for the smart plan, but -50 points for rashness and not thinking your plan through. What about when they catch you? " she heard the smart alic twin asked, well, more like stated.
"Too late for that know. I'm goin' adventuring today! I'll just sneak back in later."
"Oh, can I come too!?" she heard his twin sister ask.
"No, you can not." he answered for her.
"Hurry and leave before they can catch you. Maybe you will stumble upon the data they have on us." said the darker of the other set of twins(Nike).
"Okie dokie" she said in my carefree sort of way. Suddenly, the child bolted the opposite way, the way she saw the doctors going after finishing the experiments on us. A creepy smile came to her face, let the fun begin!
1 hour later
Ok, she had admitted to herself that it was a very bad idea on my part, like the smart alic(Kilik) said. Her path led her to a dead-end with only one door. She had opened the door, and to her luck, nobody was occupying the room. It was the most humongous room she had ever seen. On one side, it was filled with desks, computers, and filing cabinets.
On the other was shelves. In neat rows on these shelves were pieces of paper bound together, with a cover. First, she headed towards the computers. They were super big, even larger than her brother. She touched one of the objects on the counter, a mouse she thought apprehensively.
Almost instantly, the computer turned on. Jumping back in surprise, she thought, "what happened?"
Looking at the screen, it was titled Gravity Children Project. It had a picture of one of her jail-mates, the bipolar idiot., the one who taught her everything she knew about the world. The screen went along the lines of #31460, status: failed, age:15, height: 5"6, weight: 130 lb., and etc.
Failed, what did that mean? He certainly is not a failure, he is the most intelligent person there, although a little childish. He taught her brother and the girl how to read, along with almost practically everyone else he shared the cell block with! If he's a failure, what would they do to him? to get her mind off the endless questions, she searched her own ID number, she knew it because it was what they always used to call her for my experimentation time, while looking straight at her.
Unfortunately, what she found gave her an endless pit of questions. It said #10094, status: partial success, age: 5, Height: 40 in., weight: 41 lbs, and etc. At the bottom, it showed a picture of her screaming. She flinched when she saw the picture. It was of her strapped to a special machine that increases the pressure and gravity around her. While they kept increasing that, they shined the brightest of lights into her eyes, threatening to make her blind.
Hurriedly, she typed her brothers number to get away from the picture. Her eyes immediately went to status. She wondered if he was like her, or #31460(bipolar idiot). What was there surprised her to no end, almost wishing she wasn't seeing what she was seeing. Status:pending. What does that mean? She looked down at the picture. It showed her older brother running while under pressure, and wearing weights.
She hurriedly went to the other side of the room to give her a distraction from her thoughts. She looked at the tall shelf filled with "books". She now remembered the term. She picked out the first book she saw, It was a blue book with a picture of white puffy things at the front in an endless blue plain.
A sky, she remembered the more cunning of the dark-haired twins(Nike) telling her. Flying in the sky was a single white dove. On the ground, it was a grassy plain with a single sunflower facing the sun. The title was The Sky's Sunflower by Brandon Gifford(2).
She opened the book, and was immersed within the pages, lost in another world. It told about the "sky" and wonders called clouds" made from evaporated water. She wondered how vast the sky was. It talked about birds, animals, and flowers, or her favorite the sunflower. Shining yellow and facing the sun, taking anyone out of a bad mood. She wished she could be like a sunflower, free, cheery, and full of life.
Almost at the end of the book, her bad feeling suddenly came back. She turned around and looking at her was one of the head torturers.
A/N: So how is this? Review with your thoughts. I'm trying to not to make Hinata a Mary Sue so please forgive me if it seems so. Also, for those who read the original story, These chapters will be in 3rd POV and 1st POV will only come up for emotional stuff. Also, the chapters won't be so long.
1: They did not name themselves yet, so I described them. So, in order not to confuse everyone, I will write their names in parentheses every time one of them is mentioned. The main person we are following is my OC, and it will be so throughout the fic. Also, TBA stands for to be announced(because he's one of my OCs who's name will not be revealed yet...unless you read my past fic then you know it).
2: It's not a real book or a real name. I made it up off the top of my head.
