FEAR fɪə/ noun 1. an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm.
The screeching of gears woke her, she looked around frantically trying to figure out where she was, she got to her knees and latched onto the railings pulling herself to her feet.
"Hello." She groaned, gasping for breath.
She looked around, her eyes finally adjusting to the dark. She seemed to be in some kind of lift surrounded by planks of wood and rope.
"Hey!" She shouted, banging on the wall, "let me out!"
The lift jolted and threw her to the ground.
"Help me!" She screamed before a blinding light broke through the darkness.
She looked up and saw a group of people staring down at her, a group of boys, not one single girl.
Suddenly one of them jumped down and stalked towards her. He looked a little shocked.
She got to her feet and pressed herself to the wall.
"Get away from me." She seethed.
The boy sighed an agitated sigh and reached forward, "Come on greenie."
She narrowed her eyes and took his hand, he hoisted her out of the lift and jumped up after her.
She observed her surroundings and at that moment she had a million questions but before she could get any out her ears were met with a bunch of comments.
"Holy clunk it's a girl!"
"I call dibs."
"Is she hot?"
"Move you slinthead, I can't see."
Suddenly the feeling of being surrounded by boys wasn't all that nice, so she took off towards an opening in the middle of one of the walls that encircled her.
She ran as fast as she could but obviously it wasn't fast enough she realised as she was tackled to the ground.
"No! Get off of me!" She screamed as the boy pinned her to the ground.
"Hey, hey, I'm not going to hurt you, just calm down." She stopped thrashing so the boy got off her and helped her up.
"I'm Thomas, welcome to the glade."
