A/N: And another chapter being wrote in class because I've finished all the work :D Ninja mode ;)

Chapter 9 – Awakening

I could sense myself coming back into consciousness. All I could see was a blurry green in front of me but the fact that I was awakening was a good sign of me still being alive. When my vision came in properly I could see I was in a dome-shaped, glass cage. I didn't want to test it, but I assumed the glass was shatter-proof. Muffled screams could be heard from all around by other people awakening. To my left, Edward was just awakening. I tried talking to him.

"Edward!" I screamed as loud as I could to be heard over everybody else.

"Kirsty?" He shouted back. Good, he could hear me.

"Don't scream, you're encased in glass, I don't know where we are."

"Figures." He said before curling back up and trying to get back to sleep. Typical Edward, He loved sleeping. I curled up into a ball and thought about everything. I usually didn't let situations like this bother me because I knew I would always manage to find a way out of it, but this time my instincts told me no.

I sat and thought about home. Being able to see Michael every Saturday and singing "Clothes Off" with Tiff in band. I would never get to see them again. All those dreams I wrote down. Going to Germany. Learning guitar. My 16th birthday that was just half a year away. If I died here, there would be so many things I would have failed to accomplish.

Most of all, I just wanted to see my friends. Tell them my darkest secrets, share my chocolate with them and make sure that each of them knew how much I loved them as friends. And Michael, I wanted so badly to be in his arms again. To be safe and protected from the world and all it's horrible truths. To hear his voice again and for this to all be over!

Hours and hours passed as more people awoke and started screaming. A lot of the people had already given up in demanding help because they realised there was no hope. We were starving, some needed toilet and some needed water. We would all be dead in a mere matter of days before anybody found us. I was getting cramps from being curled up so I tried standing up. Somehow, I managed to stand up perfectly without hitting me head off the top of the glass. Seconds later, I felt a drop of water on my arm.

The water started fizzing and burning my skin away and I panicked. I shouted over to Edward but he didn't hear me. He was experiencing the same pain I was. Others around me started joining the panic as the drops got faster and faster. It was like a shower of pure acid.

A great wave of strength came over Edward and he fought to get out. With one almighty kick, he managed to shatter the glass completely. The rest were too busy trying to avoid the water to notice his noble escape but I decided to try it too. I brought my fist back and punched the glass with as much force as my tiny body could master. The glass fell to the floor but it slashed my arm in multiple places. Before I managed to get away from where the water was coming from, one drop landed in my gash. It stung a lot more than the drops on my arm did. My skin began to blister and peel, as did everybody else's.

"Let's go!" I shouted over to Edward.

"Really? I was going to sit here and die!" He replied sarcastically. I hit him and one of the blisters on his skin popped, covering us both in blood.

"EW!" We both screamed before heading over to the door. I expected it to be locked but surprisingly enough it wasn't. Whoever had trapped us here didn't know how to contain people properly.

We ran down various corridors for a good 20 minutes and both I and Edward started getting weaker. We got to a flight of stairs and I could hear my phone upstairs. I should have noticed earlier that it wasn't in my pocket.

We have to take our, Clothes off

We have to party, all night

We have to take our, clothes off

To have a good time…

"Catch." I heard somebody say. The voice was extremely familiar but I couldn't pick it out because my mind was going.

"She's in this building." The voice said. I carried on up the corridor until I seen 4 figures at the top of the stairs. I recognised the female at the front immediately. Dark brown hair falling just below her shoulders. Mid-height and leading the rest of them.

It was Tiff.

I tried climbing the stairs but the figures went in the opposite direction. Did they not see me?

I pushed on and on but eventually, I collapsed and fell to the floor once more. My breathing stopped, along with my heart.
