Chapter 1 - Inside a glass box

I couldn't move a bit. I felt numb from my head to my toes. I tried to open my eyes, but a large flashlight kept piercing right into my eyes. Through my teary eyes, all I could see were some figures wearing thick leather coats and masks looking at me disappointed and uninterested as if I was a mistake. That look was nothing to bother about as I have never been able to make someone interested in me ever in my life. I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.

"But wait...someone was looking at me." my eyes paused in front of a figure.

Through the mask, I could see two sparkly dark brown eyes. Those eyes were definitely of a human. Then a hand started reaching towards me as if it was trying to touch me. But it couldn't. "Am I inside a glass box?" I was trapped inside a glass box!

I tried my best to look around me. There were a lot of glass boxes kept in a line. The masked men were inspecting all the other glass boxes and were taking down notes. But as usual, I was ignored. I just couldn't believe myself. How did I end up in a glass box! All I could remember was trying to push my little best friend when the large beam of light started pulling her. But I got stuck in it instead. But how come these creatures have hands and eyes just like us. So they are not some aliens? Was I caught by humans who came in a large aircraft?

I never thought that beautiful day I woke up into would end up me being trapped inside a glass box. Today after a long time I was woken up early, had perfect cute little eggs for my breakfast and my makeup came out soo well. To be precise I was not late today. It was like everything came out so well so that I would be there right under that light beam at the right time. Everyone must be soo worried about me and I am pretty sure Lily must be sobbing down there screaming that it was her fault for me being here. "Don't worry Lily, I am just fine. I'll come out of this in no time." I wished I could say those words to her.

Suddenly I started feeling like I was being pushed. Yes, I could feel that I was moving. They were taking me somewhere else. That was so scary. I felt more comfortable while I was inside that room with other glass boxes. I am pretty sure that there must have been people just like me inside those boxes as well. "But why did they kidnap us? Who are they? And why am I the only one they are taking taken away? Maybe their target was Lily, and since I pushed her they caught me by mistake. So that means they don't need me. But what are they going to do with me? Are they going to kill me?" I couldn't stop myself from thinking the worst. Tears came running down my cheeks but I couldn't wipe them out.

"Maybe I'll just have to make up my mind." I thought. "How am I supposed to escape when I can't at least move my finger!"

After a long time with a loud cracking sound, I saw the door open. Through it came that person with dark brown eyes. By judging the hand, I could say that it belonged to a man. He came towards me slowly and took off his mask.

I lost my breath for a second. His gaze made my heart beat wildly. I... I was speechless. He was looking at me so calmly and gently touched the glass box. His eyes were like trying to say "don't worry, I won't harm you..."

What is happening to me? My whole body started to heat up. I couldn't take my eyes off him. Can a man look so perfect? His deep brown eyes locked my eyes in his.

"Oh god! What am I thinking?" I shook my head. "All I should be thinking now is how to get out of this hell. I must have gone crazy."

Then this man took out a key from his front pocket and unlocked my glass box. In his hands was a syringe with some brown liquid which he injected into my right vein. Finally, I could feel my toes and fingertips. Gradually I was able to move. So did he save me? With his help, I was able to sit up straight.

That is when I saw the gigantic room around me. through a small window, I could see small twinkly lights moving at an incredible speed. I walked towards the window. I could see myself getting dragged away from everything at an unbelievable speed. I was terrified.

I started screaming " where are you taking me?! What are you trying to do to me? Who are you?"

Then he started talking. But I couldn't understand a single thing! It was another language that I have never heard of. With his expressions, I could say that he was trying to calm down me. But how am I supposed to calm down? I was lost.

I was gazing out of that window for hours. He left me inside that room with the door locked. I was all alone crying myself out. After some time he came back with a bowl in his hands. He gave it to me slowly. Through his eyes, I could see that he had no intention to harm me and I was really hungry as well. So I took the bowl and just pushed a spoon full of that weird-looking porridge down my mouth. It tasted terrible. But I couldn't help myself but eat that cause if not I would faint. I again asked him "please tell me, what are you'll going to do to me? I haven't done anything wrong to anyone. Please spare me. Please let me go. please!" I took my hands together crying and pleading for help. "Please get me out of here. I want to go back. please help me, sir. I will do anything you want me to do. Please just let me go!" He patted gently on my shoulder and gave me a signal to come with him. I stood up quickly and followed him out of the room. But my feet stopped me from moving when I saw outside the room. Am I seeing something real? Can what I am seeing be real?
