“How much time is left?”

“Twenty-two minutes and eleven seconds, did you touch any of the buttons?”

“Yes, the white one twice and… the black one once”

The girl, as if she was ignoring what William was saying pressed both buttons. Act that triggered a familiar sound.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

“What was that?” asked William.

“I don´t know”

Suddenly one of the cubicles window opened, from it came out a woman with light brown hair that reached up to the throat and clear amber eyes.

As soon as the woman came out of the cubicle she stared at him, and smiled.

“Only the two of you awake?” she asked.

“Where are we? Who are you? And why are where?”

The black haired girl closed up the distance in a second and stood in front of her, asking more questions than what William could process.

“Well, well, my name is Ludmila and for now the important thing is that you guys aren´t in danger!” answered the girl with the amber eyes and the beautiful smile.

“Where are we?” the black haired girl insisted.

“Can´t say, Victoria” answered Ludmila giving away the other girl´s name.

From behind, another cubicle´s window opened. A tall man with blond hair and blue eyes joined the hall.

“Hello Adrian” greeted Ludmila.

“Where are we?” he asked but Ludmila didn´t even got the time to answer when another cubicle opened.

Same as with Adrian, she helped the person to get out and greeted her gently.

Another woman, black long hair and robust composition.

William was surprised how calm everyone was.

“Don´t they realize that we have been kidnapped?”

William turned back to the door just to find another person standing up, a boy, no older than seventeen, wearing old fashioned clothes. Eyes green like grass and hair white as snow.

The face of the kid was the same as William, he was terrified.

“My name is William, it seems we are safe” William said trying to reassure him

“Ross” said the kid in a very low tone.

“Only two left” said Ludmila, glaring at everyone.

“Hey, sparkles, what about the countdown? The door won´t open” said Victoria.

“A lot of the doors where we are will require some minimum work to open, but don´t worry, they aren´t dangerous” replied Ludmila smiling at everyone.

“Are we safe? Where are we?” asked Adrian.

“I know you all must be worried, and I would love to answer your questions but I can´t for now, but it is a promise, passed twenty four hours from now, I´ll tell you everything”

The serious tone, combined with her radiant eyes and charismatic smile seemed to convince everyone but Victoria.

“Why?” asked Victoria.

“Your own safety” Ludmila step forward.

If William had a knife he could the air as it was butter.

“It´s okay, we can wait right? Everyone?” Adrian glared at everyone with a smile.

Lackluster, but it was enough to calm the waters.

“Whatever but I still would like to get out of here before that countdown reaches to zero”.

Stated Victoria and everyone else agreed.

When the clock marked fifteen minutes left a different, and much louder sound echoed through the room.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
