I finally got enough reviews, so here is the first chapter! For the first two chapters, I'm going to break it up into different POVs. But after the next chapter, I'm going to change the POV every chapter, kinda like the Hero of Olympus series. I'm so happy for all the reviews and PM's I got. I have a lot of plans for this story and I can't wait to share it with you. But to keep this story you guys have got to keep sending me characters. I can't keep the story going without them. By the end of the story I need 25 girls and 25 guys, so, don't stop reviewing and PMing me. Not all the characters are in this chapter, but they will be in the next chapter! The more you tell me about your character the easier it will be for me to write about them. So, if you want to send me a message with an update, DO IT! If you have a particular character you want to be shipped with, you can also tell me that too. I made a Pinterest page and an Instagram with all your characters on it. So, if you want to see how I pictured them, so, go check that out. If you don't like it, send me a message and I'll find a new one. It just helps me to write when I have a picture of the character in my head.

Pinterest: It won't let me put the link on here so if you want to see your character you need to PM me
(There are no spaces)
Now, I know it's early, but if I get this story going and enough characters I'm going to try and write a whole series. Which means there is a very good chance that this story and my next story will do a crossover. So, go check that out! It's called "A Flare of Hope". If you guys need anything or just want to talk, I'm always here for you guys. In my story "A Flare of Hope" I always ask a question in every chapter, and you guys leave the answer in the Reviews. So, for this story, I want to know something about you. It could anything like...I play 6 instruments. I also love quotes so, if you have any good ones, let me know, I might even put it in this story. So, let's get started, shall we?
Sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed, and rearranged to relocate us to the place we are meant to be

CLEO'S POV
I'm awake but I don't want to believe it. I refuse to let myself get up right away, I ignore the sounds around me. Every part of me wants to sleep, but then I'm thrown to the side. I brace myself by putting my hands out in front of me. My head snaps up looking around, realizing I can't see anything. I try to put a hand in front of my face but it's so dark I can't see it. I groan, the impact of hitting the floor hurt my wrist. As I'm about to get up though I get thrown to the side again, whatever elevator I'm in has started to move. I steady myself and try to stand up again. Once I'm on my feet, I try to focus on what's going on around me. I hear...a pig snort? I decide to start walking around, but, of course, I trip over something. I curse under her breath. Whatever I fell on moves and I freeze.
"What'd you do that for, eh?" The voice isn't too deep, but it's obviously male. I scramble away from him as fast as possible.
"Wh-who are you?" I curse myself, I sound so weak..and scared. I get ready for a fight, not sure about what's going to happen.
"Who are you?" His voice sounds accusing like I did this to him. A few feet away I hear a sob. I slowly walk in that direction. I hear it again, a little louder until she realizes that the kid is bawling. I try to find out where the kid is. When I think I'm there, I whisper.
"Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?" I kneel down and place a hand in front of him/her until I'm touching the kid's arm. The kid grips her hand, holding on to it like he/she's scared I'm going to leave them.
"I-I can't remember anything." The little girl bawls out. That's when I start to panic. I try to remember my past but I can't. The only thing that sticks out is that her name is Cleo. That's it, that's all I can remember. I take a deep shuddering breath.
"Everything's going to be okay, Hun, I promise." I hear people shift all around me. After I say that, it's almost like a cannon goes off. Everyone starts to completely freak out. There's screaming and there's crying and I freeze. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MARIE'S POV
I wake up with a gasp. I scramble to my feet looking around, not seeing anything. There are people screaming and crying, it's complete and utter chaos. I jump up to my feet fast trying to get my eyes to adjust to the dark, but they never do. I hear a loud crash. Someone has to stop this.
"Hey!" My voice is deeper than I thought it would be, it almost shocks me at first. I glare, forgetting no one can see me. The screaming dies down a bit, but not enough.
"Hey!," I say it much louder this time, which results in people quieting down. "Look, no one knows what's happening or what's going on, but that doesn't mean we can panic." I pause. "We all need to breathe and calm down if we panic then we won't be able to fight if we need to. We need to be ready for whatever happens," I hesitate for a moment. "Elevator stops. Now I know no one can see anything, but does anyone know what's in here with us. Can someone feel around?" There's shuffling all around me, someone, a guy, calls out.
"There are a lot of boxes in here, like wooden crates." I nod, again forgetting it's dark. There's a scream to my left and I tense up.
"It's biting me! It's biting me!" Another guy, this one has an accent. I hear people run in his direction. There's a lot of moving but the boy stops screaming.
"I heard a pig earlier." A sweet voice comes from behind me. Not the only girl, that's a relief.
"So we're in here with a bunch of animals, good to know." A deep bitter voice comes from right next to me, I jump. How many people are in this thing?

FINNICK'S POV
I'm rocking back and forth on the floor trying not to completely panic. People are talking all around me but I can't hear them. I play with my hands, trying to keep them busy, it seems to calm me down.
The first thing I noticed when I woke up is that I don't know who I am. Everything is gone. Everything except for my name. Finnick. What kind of name is that anyway? I shake my head and take a few shuddering breaths. I-I need to get out of here. I can't breathe. Almost as if a God was listening, I'm thrown to the side. I realize that the elevator has finally stopped moving.
I stand up quickly looking around for an exit. I'm suddenly blinded by a very bright light coming from everywhere. I squeeze my eyes shut. Once the burning stops, I slowly open my eyes to see that there is an opening coming from above me.
The panic inside of me starts again, and I climb onto one of the crates, I pull myself up and out of the elevator. I look around and gasp.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
WILL'S POV
When I can finally see again, I look down at my very shaky hand. It's bleeding pretty damn bad. Of course, out of everyone here, I'm the one to get bitten. I look around confused. There are so many crates around us, and there's a shit ton of people. Out of the corner of my eye, I see someone running. My head snaps and sees a boy pulling himself up and out of the elevator. I look down at my hand, well that's not going to happen. There's a short girl, with dark curly hair, olive skin and big brown eyes ordering people around. I pause when I look at her, feeling a bit of deja vu. I shake my head and walk over to her.
"Anything I can do to help?" She turns to me about to say something but her eyes flash down to my hand.
"Once we're out of this thing, come find me. We'll find something to fix that up. But for now you need to stay out of the way, I wouldn't want you getting hurt." She turns away from me and starts helping a kid move a box. I'm confused for a second, I mean why would they be moving the boxes around, shouldn't we be trying to get out of here first? But once I realize what she's doing, I want to facepalm. They're building stairs out of the boxes. I watch feeling kind of useless, knowing it's best for me to stay out of the way. I hear a bark behind me and I jump. I turn around and see a bunch of cages filled with different animals. I glare at them.
"Why'd you have to bite me?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
AMELIA POV
As I keep stacking crates on top of each other, I see a little boy. My heart breaks, he can't be older than 13. I walk over to him and kneel in front of him. He starts to shake, a whimper comes out of his mouth.
"Hey kid, why don't you come help us get out over here." I smile down at him sweetly. He doesn't say anything, all he does is looks up at me and nods. I stand up, taking his hand I pull him up. "What's your name kid?" I'm surprised when I have to look up at him. He's is super tall for being a kid. If his face wasn't so young looking, I would have confused him for being older.
"My name is Max." His voice is a little high, which also gives away his age. I start to explain what we're doing. He doesn't say much, he's on the quiet side. Which I can't blame him for it. When we finally have the boxes arranged we start letting the younger kids up first, and we follow. When I finally get up there my heart drops. I walk around slowly, taking everything in. There are a bunch of smaller building all around, and a bigger one in the middle. There's a forest to my left. My eyes are wide as I look up. We're surrounded by giant walls. I swallow hard.
"Well shit."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MAX'S POV
The minute I get out of the elevator, I'm gone. I-I need to get away from the people. I need time to think. I see a forest to my left and take off in a slow sprint in that direction. Once I get there, I find a decent tree and start climbing. I get pretty high up before stopping. I lay against the trunk and close my eyes. I need to calm my breathing, I need to get myself together. I open my eyes and look around. I see the corner of two walls meeting and I look up wide-eyed, panic setting in again. I start to climb the tree, as high as I can and see the walls tower over even the trees. How did I not notice them before? I go back to where I was, breathing hard. I feel claustrophobic. It's hard to breathe. I need to breathe I put my head in my hands and focus on that ignoring everything else. It's okay, everything is going to be okay. I hear a twig snap and the sound of running footsteps. I tense up, not sure what happens. There's a girl running in my direction, though it doesn't look like she can see me. She has dark skin, not as dark as mine though, so probably Hispanic. She has long brown hair pulled into a side braid. I watch her as she runs, she stops a few feet away from me and starts crying. I watch her for a bit before jumping out of the tree. She screams, and I assume, she starts cursing at me in Spanish.
"You can't just scare a person like that, especially since we're...here." Her accent is evident, but not so thick I can't understand her. She glares daggers at me, her eyes still teary. I look down.
"I-I'm sorry I wanted to see if you were okay." Her face softens and she gives me a small sad smile.
"What's your name amigo?"
"I'm Max" I look at her hesitantly. She smiles putting a hand on my arm. I flinch a little at first, before relaxing.
"It's nice to meet you Max, I'm Izabella."

MADDIE'S POV
Once the shock of being surrounded by huge ass walls has worn off, I jump back into the elevator. I start looking through the boxes. I go through 5 of them before I find what I'm looking for. This crate is completely filled with weapons. I grab as many as I can, putting two daggers into my boot, one in my belt. But then I see a blade and I smirk, grabbing that. I go through a few more crates, finding a backpack and filling it up with random supplies. Someone else jumps in the box and I grab my blade glaring. He throws his hands up, and I notice one of them is bleeding.
"Woah, I'm just looking for something to bandage my hand, no need to go all psycho on me." This kid has dark brown hair and very blue eyes. I straighten myself up and head towards a crate I've already looked through. This one is full of a bunch of medical supplies. I dig around a bit before grabbing a bandage and something to wrap it. I walk up to him.
"Here. Make sure you wrap it tight and keep cleaning it, it would be bad if it got infected." I turn away from him about to pull myself out when he stops me.
"Wh-what's your name?" He sounds almost scared, I turn to him.
"I'm Madeline." I hesitate, considering leaving then but I ask him instead. "What's your name.." He hesitates to tell me, but I think he had to remember it for himself first.
"My names Will." It's more like he's telling himself then telling me. I give a curt nod and pull myself out of the elevator.

COPE'S POV
It's much later in the day now. We've all spread out. We all had to deal with this alone. I'm sitting alone in the corner between two of the walls. These girls named Marie and Amelia came around, giving us food, water, and a blanket. I'm grateful for that, I didn't realize how hungry I was until they handed me the PBJ. Marie was great, she took charge right away and got a few things in order. I felt kinda bad, she didn't have a lot of time to process what all has happened. My first reaction was anger. I was so mad. But now, I don't know, I'm just kinda numb. It's not like there's anything I can do. I try to get as comfortable as I can, laying on the ground. It's finally dark now and I look up. A part of me smiles when I see the stars. They're beautiful tonight. I feel like I could lay here and stare at them forever. Which is what I did for a long time before I eventually drifted off to sleep.
I'm woken up by a loud boom of thunder. It's so loud I have to cover my ears. Even the walls were shaking. Well at least I thought it was thunder, it sounded exactly like it. But when I look up at the sky, I see the sky is completely clear. When I look around I see people all running towards the walls, they seemed very panicked. A few of them even have weapons drawn. I get up and look around and that's when I realize what the noise is. At first, I thought my eyes were tricking but by the look on everyone else's face, I know they see it too.
The walls are opening.
