Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in ages…..Sorry but everything has gotten a little hectic. This is a new fan fiction based on a dream I had. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Chapter One - Here to Run, or Survive.
*Aurora's POV*
I don't remember what had happened. Hell I'd do anything to know what had. But all I know is I was on a bus. Sitting next to, well how do you say, my only friend in a sea of strangers faces.
Light chatter had filled the air, but none of them where question's about how we had gotten here, where we where going.
Alice had golden locks in a firm looking ponytail, no fringe to frame her soft, pale and freckled face. Her arms and legs the same pale and brown freckled state as her face.
Grey eyes that changed to an electric blue starred sharply at our surrounding.
Unfortunately my friend Alice was taller then me. So I was in a way her leaning post.
The bus rolled over a bump that sent me slightly off my seat, shaking me out into my reality, harshly, not to mention banging my hip on the side of the bus.
"Ouch" I said rubbing my hip tenderly.
"What are you whining about" Alice said with a laugh starring at me half wide eyed.
"Putting a hole in the side of this bus."
We both laughed and resumed our unspoken pact of silence.I had been occupying myself by staring out the window.
This retched bus had been traveling on a very straight, smooth, boring and bland road.
Through the windows the only thing we could see was concrete walls, it gave the sense of plane raw fear.
We had been driving a while when in the distance the wall seemed to stop. Alice nudged me and we both starred at each other.
The busses noise level had gone from whispers to incoherent murmurs and then shouting. Scared, frantic, shrill and intense shouting.
I looked out the window then back at alice to make sure, I wasn't dreaming. The bus stopped and there was a gap in the never ending wall.
The wall stretched high up into the sky unable to see the end, unable to see the sky.
As soon as that bus stopped rolling, its cargo became quiet. Every girl and boy cowered in fear.
"Everyone out"
The bus driver turned to us all. Singling out Alice and I for a split second he wen't on to look at each child individually.
"Welcome to your new home"
Alice and I were running. After the time it took us all to get us off the bus we where told to run.
The bus left us and everyone was starring at the concrete opening that wen't for what it looked like, miles onto of miles.
I had looked at Alice, conversing silently before starting to run. We where both pretty fit so there wasn't any trouble.
The others soon joined us. There where in total about 40 kids. A mix of girls and boys all different races and appearances. Except for a set of identical twins.
Running seemed effortless for myself and Alice, for some of the others it was a little hard. We kept on going, hour after hour, Until we saw it.
Exhaustion had started to settle in on me when we saw the opening in a distant, yet slowly approaching wall.
Then there came the sound.
Sliding metal against metal I looked behind us, Thick metal walls were sliding out of our surrounding ones and slamming into the other.
They where far off but felt like a threat.
"Alice sprint"
"I know i'm trying."
We picked up the speed. Sprinting towards what seem like an opening in the wall up ahead. Miles away, it seemed like the door appeared to be safe.
Behind us in the distance I heard screams. A girl banging against a newly closed wall, screaming someones name. A boy's name.
Then another one closed on her. The others now sensing the danger started to pick up the speed.
Panic settled in, fear and agony the only emotion left in my body. My heart racing on and on. Every terrified beat out of place.
Then another sound like a symphony joined in on the ear shattering slamming. A slow sliding and grinding noise.
The walls where getting closer.
"Aurora come on!"
Alice yelled at me angrily, I had started to drop behind. I sped up one last time, sprinting as hard as I could.
My breathe was hard and rough, every step was a new wave of pain shuddering through me.
The walls now closer and the slamming doors of death closing in, Alice and I flung ourselves in the gap which was to our suspicion some kind of door.
Panting and wheezing we looked at each other, Alice looked calm but I knew she was shaken.
I knew my heart was still racing in my chest, I knew I wasn't hiding my emotions at all
I was still scared shitless.
Then in fear I looked out through the safety of the doors to the now battle the others had to fight.
A select few of others had joined us sprawled out on the floor.
Lifting myself off of the cold concrete floor,no time to rest, I took every ounce of energy I had left.
Cupping my hands to my mouth and taking in a deep breath.
"COME ON! YOU CAN DO IT"
A few of the children looked startled at my sudden scream but they all seemed to speed up. The teens surrounding me soon joined in my shouting.
The twins made it in then a girl that looked a little familiar. Two more had gotten trapped in the slamming doors and then another.
Most of the people surrounding me had gotten up as well as Alice. All of us shouting encouragement to the others still running, names, insults, positive thinking.
You name it we were yelling our hearts out.
The last few came in and we all seemed relieved. But there was still one more person left. He was struggling but keeping up a fast pace.
"Hurry up or the walls will get you!"
"Come on!"
"DANIEL COME ON!"
"Do you wan't to be stuck out there?!"
"Daniel! GET HERE NOW!"
The doors slamming right behind him, not allowing him to slow down but only to speed up.
The boy screamed as a sliding panel started to close in front of the door, shouts of surprise filled my ears as the boy was seen jumping through the gap.
Landing with a thud we all became quiet. Some going to the boys aid.
I looked frantically for Alice in the small group of people left. I found her and walked to her side quickly.
She was starring at our surroundings. They where grand.
White walls and white pillars with a black concrete floor. A long hallway that branched off in every direction.
"Hello"
Everyone stopped and looked around. An unknown voice. Sharp and familiar echoed through the halls.
"Welcome to your new home."
I stared at Alice, looking at me uneasily she half shrugged. Both of us as confused as the other.
There was a pause, the only sound that could be heard was the frantic breathing of the surrounding teens.
"We hope you don't enjoy your stay"
