Nakia – "Telling someone the truth and making someone cry is better than telling a lie and making someone smile." - Paolo Coelho
As Dara and Harlow go to get more parts, I realise that no one else is here. The whole planet has been deserted, completely.
Max paces as she thinks of solutions. Bee sits trembling.
"Hey, you ok?" I ask and plonk down next to her.
"yeah." She lies.
"No, you're not. This whole situation is bad. And your least able than the rest of us, combat wise." I say. She looks up, and for the first time she looks annoyed.
"Gee, thanks." She snaps.
"Just being honest." I shrug.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to snap." She says quietly. I shrug and walk away.
"Nakia and I are going to find some food and bandages." Says Raven pulls me along with him.
Looking at him, I realise how strange his eyes are.
"You have different coloured eyes." I state.
"No shit." He rolls his eyes. This place is so different from home, and Rosaland. Each wall and statue have some sort of equation or qu0te by a famous smart person. It's weird.
We reach a house and Raven kicks the door down.
"Dude! What-" I stare at him.
"You want food, don't you?" he snaps. I sigh and walk in. The whole house is full of books and newspapers. Still, no people.
We grab food from the fridge and cupboards, and I find a first aid kit. As we walk, Raven scrapes off the dried blood from his forehead and sticks a plaster on.
Once we get back, Dara and Harlow are there.
"We found a new pod; we can go now." Says Max. We walk in silence again towards the new pod. This time there's only room for four people, Bee volunteers to sit on the floor, and I volunteer as well.
We take off and things go well as we land on Joyaland. This planet has everything, gold, jewels and everything is so clean. Except it doesn't have one thing. People. We land and leap out.
"Where is everyone?" asks Bee distantly.
"I… don't know." Says Max, frowning. She goes and tried the radio but it's all static.
"Now what?" asks Harlow. Before Max can answer a strange static noise appears as if from the sky.
"Attention, Max, Dara, Bee, Harlow, Raven and Nakia. You have been selected for a new experiment. You will stay here until the experiment is complete. Good luck." The intercom fizzles out.
"What the-"
