Chapter 2 - FRIEND

FRIEND:-

Time:/ ??:??

Days:/ 2

"Get up sleepy heads!!!" (Guard), "what time is it?" ,The sun isn't even out yet and they wake us up at this this time?." Your gonna be waking up the same time everyday and the same way!! You understand!?!" (General), *SILENCE* "I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!?!? (Gneral), "yes sir!!".

We went for a morning jog and had breakfast after. while the people in the experiment sector were living in luxury in the eyes of the people in the training sector. They had everything they could ask for like food,good cloths,toys and even video games but the only thing they didn't have was freedom. It was known the experiment sector was a place that had been the homes of millions of kids from poor families and others who were orphans some were sold to the factory. So for u to be taken to such a place was like hell and haven at the same time,

Rumors started spreading across the training sector talking about how the people in the experiment sector would live in the factory unlit they die and if they survive for long and reach the age of 18, they get killed so that they don't escape or even tell the secrets of the factory to the outside world.

When we finished our breakfast we were to go and get checked up on by the medical staff to keep track of our health and progress. After waiting for one hour for the check ups to be done for the one hundred plus kids, they had us changes into different types of coloured cloths. We headed into a white plain room no wait, I mean a humongous warehouse painted white and there were obstacles all around that's when I realized that we came here for our fighting practice.

"Huh?" (monak), the kid i met in the room I was sleeping in last night was standing across the room and it seemed that we had the same cloths "we have the same coloured cloths, mybe that's why we were in the same room" I thought to my self. "As u might have noticed u all have coloured cloths and share the same coloured cloths with one person in this room, I oder you all to stand next the person of the same colour as you and wait for more instructions" (random dude idk about). "Hey its me we met yesterday" I said, he looked at me and whispered "nice to meet you", " so.. my name is monak what's yours?" I asked ,"Nom" "Nom? That's an unusual name but it's still pretty cool" I replied.

Suddenly the guards left the room and a huge door opened revealing a lond wide path way. Speakers started retracting from the corners of the wall.

"You are all tasked to go through brutal training in order to achieve the perfect mindset,mentally and physical strength"," and as you have been told before that the people who pass will be granted a high rank in the future, so do your best to survive this ordeal".the kids in the room started panicking and others even cried," oh! I almost forgot they're creatures that might kill you so take care". "Whattt!!!, we're all gonna die"(kid #1) "get me out!! Please,I'll be a good boy!!"(kid #2)

At the other end of the room the wall started moving in the direction of the tunnel that just opened. It seem as if they were forcing us to go in the tunnel and start the training as soon as possible, Nom asked me if I was willing to back him up through out the training and he'll do the same for me. It seemed like a good plan so I went with it, he told that we had to get out of the room last and promised that he would explain what he had planned.

"Let's go". He told me to get ready and run as fast as I could. We ran for a couple of minutes and then he decided to rest for a bit, he asked If I could sit down and explain the situation to me, I sat down then he started telling me about his ability. He said that "my ability allows me to read people mind just by looking or being in contact with with someone", and continued to tell me why he had us wait for everyone to go in the tunnel before us " while the instructor was talking to us I heard what the guards were thinking of and I found out that this tunnel is a long tunnel filled with deadly creatures and even if we survive, the survivors will reach a place that they would have to fight each other to death"(Nom). He told me why he chose me for his plan.

He said that I would come in handy in near future.

TRAINING TURNED INTO ESCAPE

He found out through reading my mind that the had the ability target and its capabilities, then came with a plan for our escape. Our plan was to find a Crack in the tunnel even though the chances of finding it was slim. For us to find what we were looking we had to reduce the pace at which we were running at and instead started jogging. "Helppp!!! AAAA!!", we heard someone screaming in the tunnel. I looked to my right and saw Nom sweating and with a horrified look on his face, I started to get scared too when I saw his reaction." There all crying, there all dead , there all scared " he said that with a scared cracked voice " but we have to continue" , I stood there silently without saying a word. We decided to walk slowly towards where the scream came from, we saw pools of blood on the ground, blood stains all over the wall. We soon came across half eaten dead bodies of children, some were whispering words that I couldn't understand one was still crying with a lower tone to her voice even when she lost half of her body from the waist and below.

"Nom....., is there any way we could help this people?", "Im sorry but we can't save them they're beyond saving"(Nom). "We have to keep moving monak we don't know when the creatures are going to come for us next and we haven't yet found a crack in this tunnel", we continued our search for a crack for about five hours I think? Then we found it. A small gap in the tunnel but it looked like more of a Crack that was caused by someone or something. "Is this it?", "yea"(Nom), the Crack was big enough for 10 year old kids to go through, I went inside the Crack that lead me to a smaller narrow tunnel I was surprised to see it and waited for Nom to come and see it too. When he came through the tunnel he had the same reaction as and was excited to tell that this Is our way out,we needed to follow the same direction the same as the other tunnel was leading us. While walking in the tunnel we could hear kids scream, crying and fighting for lives through the thic layers of metal that was in between us, I felt bad that we couldn't bring them along with us but i understand Nom's reasoning, it's easier to go as a smaller group than a larger one.

We came across a pathway with small square plates on the floor some of them seemed to be weak and could break at any moment. " your right some are unstable, you can see the weak plates and the stable ones but I can't, point them out so that we can escape this place". I didn't think escaping the place would be this easy to go through so we passed through the pathway and stopped on our tracks with a metal door infront of us. Nom went to the door and started typing in a pass code on the door. The door suddenly opened, I was so excited to breathe the outside air, see the sky but....

We found ourselves looking down 100 meters below,"we have to jump, and we will be lucky to survive, I hope we'll meet again monak bye" and he jumped just like that. For a sec I looked back and thought of all the kids that we left behind there cries were stuck in my mind, I decided to close my eyes clear my mind and fall...
