Chapter 10

My vision blurs as I wake up. I blink a few times to gain focus. As I wake up, I am met with something that is basically unknown to me: a wood ceiling. I groan and try to sit up but one of my legs slams to the shaking floor with a thump.

Pain boils over my stump and I immediately push myself up and grab my stump to conceal and steady the pain. My breath hitches and my eye is shut tightly. The pain subsides and a look around.

I am in a moving wooden box with three other lifeless-looking people. I was sitting against a pile of hay and the three other people did not blink at all. Their eyes were glowing an orange glow. One of the people is standing and the others are taking to the same pose: sitting with one leg up and their elbow rests on that leg. They all, at the same time, moved their head towards me. Then, in unison, they blink slowly. Then they blink again. And again. Gaining a normal blink rate. Except for the girl on the left.

She started to blink rapidly. I backed up as much as I could. The middle girl's gaze didn't leave mine, but she slowly extended her arm out to the other girl's neck. As soon as she got to her neck, she pinched. The other girl stopped blinking and quickly grabbed her neck in desperation. The boy on the right stared at the girl on the left and I was left dumbfounded.

"Don't scare her, 250468353983!" The girl stopped pinching her while... 25046-Something kept whining. Their eyes stopped glowing. "I just wanted to have fun, 25048353641!" She scoffs and looked at me. "I'm sorry... uh.." she waited for my name. "Oh, uh, Li-Lillian," I said, hesitant. "I wanted your name, but nicknames can work, Miss Lillian." She smirked and 2504841 or whatever, sighed.

"I'm 25048353641SW. You can call me Mother Core, or Mother if you want. This annoying bastard to the left of me is 250468353983SW. You can call her Pulsar. And this guy over here is 250468353975SW! He is known as Big Red." The three collectively wave a single wave and smile. I nervously smile and wave back.

I notice the barred window I quickly rush over to it and look out. We were moving through a town. It looked normal. Wooden houses, marketplaces, dirt streets. The only thing strange was the people. They stared at me and they all wore white. The women wore the same white dresses and the men wore the same white tuxes. It was the same for the people in here. They wore the same clothes. I could faintly see things sticking out of their backs.

"Where am I?" I asked. I looked back at the three which I just noticed had the same white angel wings coming from their backs. "You are in the land of the Waring Kingdoms. You must be new. Sad. It won't be long til this place eats you just like did us." Said Mother. Right when she said that the other two shushed her angrily. "Tace! Ipse enim est agnus dei! Noli occidere nos!" Big Red yells. I don't understand him, but Mother scoffs and rolls her eyes.

They begin to argue in the other language and I suddenly feel tired. Pulsar starts to laugh hysterically. "Good luck. The trip is painful." She laughs more and more. The other two are still fighting and Mother Core is crying. I cringe at the situation that is unfolding in front of me. Get me out of here!!

Suddenly, I am flung backward as the wooden box stops abruptly. The door with the window opens and a man with a full body of armor is there. He climbs in and slams his fist onto the top of my head, knocking me out instantly.

Everything is still and everything is calm...

Until I was woken up by the cold of the ground.
