Death Happy

Chapter 4

Eliza woke up again but this time she wasn't alone. She and four others were stuck in glass cylinder tubes. She was in the middle of them. First, she panicked, what happens once they run out of air? She calmed down when she saw a grate underneath her feet. She began to see who else was there with her. The first one on her left was a handsome Asian man who looked rather calm but, in his eyes, he was absolutely terrified. The woman on her right was also terrified but in a different way, she was screaming and clawing at the glass with what looks like nails that have been bitten down. The two people next to them were no better condition than the woman. An English man and a tall American man was all she could tell, looking at the two. Eliza could barely see them though in the dim light from above, they must be underground since the place seemed to go on forever. She tried to talk to the Asian man since he seemed to be the calmest even though his eyes give away his terror.

"Man, over there, on your right, can you hear me?" she yelled then she cringed the glass echoed her shout, now it ringed in her ears.

Eliza looked back at the Asian man. Discreetly, he nodded as if he was afraid of making any sound. Eliza slumped in relief. At least she's not alone in this anymore but then started to panic again, even though she wasn't alone they all will probably die, nothing like this happens without at least some people dying. Eliza began to open her mouth to start screaming as well but reconsidered, why show who ever kidnaped her that she was afraid? She was a proud woman who doesn't want to go down without a fight or die with dignity and grace. All of sudden the lights went out like it was never there in the first place, the three people who was screaming before began to scream even louder, so loud it seemed to echo across the area. A relief, they weren't in a place with no end but frightening as well, it meant they were contained with no way to get out even if they get out of the glass tubes. The Asian man next to her let out a little cry of terror before he turned his face into total calm again, but his eyes screamed out with terror and total sadness, she was the only one who didn't scream like the others because she expected it to happen eventually. Slowly, there screams seemed to be sucked away and silence filled the room after the three who were screaming stopped, realizing it wasn't going to do anything. After what felt like hours, a voice suddenly filled the room and what the voice said just started the screams all over again, screams of complete terror.
