Chapter 7 (part 1)

Chapter 7 (part 1)

Jan 29, 2019

Eliza:

I was woken up by the sun shining in my face. I sat up the room getting darker and darker the longer I looked at it. The walls turning a dark grey stone, and the floor becoming harder and cold. Standing up I looked around the room but it wasn’t a room at all really it was cell. There were bars keeping me from leaving and not a single window in the cell.

I stood up and walked over to the bars reaching my hand out. It ran right through the bars. I looked down at myself, but rather than seeing my body I saw a see through body that was almost like smoke. I looked around the cell and saw someone. They were lying on a bed in the corner with their head turned to the wall making me unable to see their face. I could see their hair however and if was bright red almost like fire.

I walked out of the cell but there was no light so I couldn’t see anything out there. I tried to move around but after a few second I decided that It was no use and I would just have to wait for someone to come so that I could figure out what was going on.

I walked back to the cell and took a seat on the ground. I started to pick at my finger nail picking at the skin and the dried up blood.

After what seemed like hours I finally heard something. There was the creaking of a door opening and then faint footsteps. They seemed to get louder and I knew that someone was finally coming. I turn to look at the girl in the cell and I freeze as she is now standing and I am able to see her face.

She had bright red hair and emerald eyes.

It was me.

Or at least a younger me. I didn’t know what to do or what to think so I just sat frozen on the ground. What was happening? Was this just a dream?

“Are you ready to try again today.” a deep voice said. I looked to the cell door and there was an older man. He had a large smile on his face and a scar running from his ear to his chin. “Still not gonna talk. Fine, guards!”

Two strong men came out from behind him and opened the cell roughly grabbed the younger me. They dragged me off, as I followed them, through the dark room and all the way to a large brighter room. They let go, letting me fall to the ground as the men backed up. The man walked over and keeled down on the ground.

“Since you don’t seem to want to talk you won't have to. You just have to fight.”

I looked at the man confused, my younger self stood up, what did he mean fight? The man turned and nodded at the two men, one of them stepping forward walking to her. He put his hands up and than ran at her. He punched her in the jaw and than her stomach. My younger self feel to the ground but recovered quickly grabbing the man feet causing him to fall. While he was down she took the chance climbing on top of him punching him in the face several times.

She stood up moving away from the man as he didn’t get back up. The other man moved going to punch her but she was faster this time. She dodged the punch and than kicked him in the chest. He fell to the ground and she attacked him again wrapping her arms around his neck squeezing until he stopped moving. She stood up again backing away looking at the two men lying on the ground not moving. She turned looking at the man who had brought her in her and started moving to him. Before she got anywhere though the man pushed a button on a control he had and she fell to the ground shaking grabbing at something on her neck.

I moved closer looking at her neck seeing a black necklace. I realized that it must be a shock necklace that he was using to control her. I tried to move closer but before I did I hears someone calling my name. They were screaming it out.

“Eliza!” someone shouted. I stood up backing up but before I could do anything I felt myself fall down everything turning black.


I jolted up letting out a gasp, trying to get air into my lungs. I felt like I was being drowned, my lungs burning and screaming out for breath not able to get enough into them. Everything around me was black and for once in a very long time I was terrified.

I felt someone's hand resting on me. I didn’t know who it was but the thought of that doctor shot up in my mind. I didn’t want to be here again. I couldn’t be here again. I scooted back my back hitting the wall. I kept trying to move farther back but I couldn’t so I slowly took in breaths trying to calm myself down. It seemed to be working because slowly my vision lightened up and I was able to see.

I was back in the room in the glade. The window shining in the room lighting it up like we were outside.

“Hey you okay?” someone asked. I felt my heart started beating faster as I looked at who was talking. I let out a breath when I saw who was talking. It was Minho.

“Yes, I’m sorry.” I spoke calming myself a little, “Did I wake you?”

“Yes but don’t worry about it, I had to get up either way. What was going on though? You were crying out and moving around like you were struggling.”

“It’s nothing just a bad dream. Don’t worry about it, I’m fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes,” I know that I was lying and I’m sure that he knew it too but I didn’t know them very well and wasn’t going to tell him all my deep dark secrets. I didn’t want to share what I had seen and even if I did I didn’t even know what it was myself so it wouldn’t do anything.

I watched Minho stand up offering me a hand but I didn’t take it and just hugged my knees into my chest. He looked down at me before walking off grabbing supplies from the room.

Soon he stooped grabbing things and walked over to the door like he was about to leave. His hand rested on the doorknob and he looked back over to me. When his eyes landed on me they softened up and bit and he let out a smile.

“I have to leave but Newt it going to come by soon and tell you more about the glade and what happens in it. Just make sure you are ready for when he comes. I’ll see you when I get back, until then don’t run off.” He smirked at me and I felt myself smile his last words. He left the room leaving me completely alone sitting against the wall.
