Dark World 7: Fading Back

Chapter 10:

Luke's POV

I coughed as smoke filled my lungs. I breathed out and saw fire burning into the room. Everyone was coughing and falling to the ground. I looked at Annie through the smoke and held her hand. Suddenly the world fell away and I could see clearer. I jumped up and felt wires connected to my body. I pulled them out and coughed. People were still coughing and screaming. I looked around and let my eyes get use to the atmosphere. I felt a hand grab me and I looked over. Annie was wobbling on her legs. I fell back, exhausted from trying to move. Annie coughed and muttered something.

"Where are we?" someone asked.

"I can answer that," I heard Clay's voice.

I looked over and saw five people standing by a large computer. They were staring at us. I saw Annie's face looking mystified at one of them. I saw Matthew Watts, Clay and Quinn standing by two unfamiliar women. I got up and walked in front of the beds we'd been plugged into.

"Why did you do this to us!" I demanded.

"Beverly!" I head Jack yell.

I looked behind and saw the rage in his eyes. He didn't notice anyone but Beverly, whoever that was. Then I saw the red haired woman step back. Jack ran at her.

"NO!" the other four people jumped in front of her.

"Clay…Quinn get out of my way." He screamed.

"No." Quinn yelled right back.

"She did this to us! She's trying to get information from Eureka." Zane ran up.

"No, she saved us. All of us." Clay said.

Annie let go of my arm and walked past Jack and Zane. The other woman suddenly seemed familiar. It was her sister Danielle.

"Danielle…" Annie cried.

Danielle walked over and hugged her tight. I looked around at everyone who had woken up. There were still some people plugged into the Matrix. I walked over to them.

"Don't touch them," Clay told me.

I looked at them, "Why aren't they awake? Where is Ingrid?"

"They're celebrities that don't need to be woken up." He said. "Ingrid is on Earth with Allison, Derek, Alyssa, Ian, Matt and Nathan."

"Wait? Earth?" I looked out the large window.

The gleaming Earth was down below us. I saw city lights shining brightly from it. We were in space?

"How long has it been?" Tanya asked.

"The Current Year is 2695." A computerized voice said.

I gasped and looked around. Everything we knew and loved was gone. It was the twenty-seventh century now, at least for another five years. Then it would be the twenty-eighth.

"Why is Ingrid on Earth?" I asked.

"She's spying on the Dharma Initiative, they've taken over North and South America and are ruining it. We are going to take them down." Matt Watts said.

"They're real!?" Myka asked.

"Yes, They're very real and very dangerous." Beverly said.

I gulped and looked down at Earth.

"Why are we here?" Kate asked.

Beverly looked at all of us.

"In 2012 a normal virus spread across the world and killed billions. Only 1/5th of the population survived. Ingrid had been living in Red River with all of you video bloggers. She left in 2014 and went on a journey to find her mother. She met everyone else along her journey. She lived with you and felt compassion for each of you. When she met me she'd just found her mother. I made her an offer to escape this hell that Earth was going to become. And I was right. She accepted and we brought each and every one of you to this ship. I erased your minds and plugged you in. For the past seven hundred years Earth has been through hell. After we left there were wars and population control in the late 100's. They found another timeline and sent people there to dinosaur times called the Terra Nova Project. Then in the 200's famine spread around and killed more people. The oceans dried up and I the mid 200's. The nation of Panem took over. they ruled and had the Hunger Games for 240 hundred years. After Katniss Everdeen and her friends brought them down, the Dharma took over and brought peace and chaos. They killed everyone involved in the everdeen revolution and recreated cities. They've been in power for far to long. I think it's high time we get America back." Beverly finished.

Everyone began talking quickly. I thought about this. Ingrid had put me in this machine. She'd lied to me for all those years? She'd betrayed me? She'd done this to all of us. I heard excited shouts and looked up. Ingrid walked into the room we were in. She was with a group of adults and Allison. She smiled at me and waved. I looked at her and turned away.

I felt her confusion as I looked away.
