An Experiment To Save Humanity Chpt.2: waking up

[ruddiestbubbles]

Guude's POV

I slowly opened my eyes, feeling consciousness seeping into my body. I'm laying on a bed in a room surrounded by other people, also laying on beds.

I slowly sit up, feeling confused. I notice my bag sitting at the foot of the bed. I also notice my bed is in the corner. I glance to my left, taking a moment to look at the person. the person is a guy, for starters. he's had short brown hair, tanned skin, and brown eyes. he is wearing a basic white shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes.

I glance at the bed across from mine, it's also a guy. He has spiky silver hair and grey eyes. he is wearing a dark grey, skin tight under shirt, with a dark green vest over it, dark grey pants and black, open toed sandals. That's an odd outfit.

I slowly stand up, pausing slightly, waiting for a dizzy spell to pass. I see someone halfway down the two rows, also sitting up. I walk over to him.

He has short brown hair that's spiked towards the front. he has blue eyes, which are hidden behind 3D glasses. he is wearing a blue suit, a trench coat, and red converse.

"Hey guy" I say approaching him.

His head shoots up, a slight blush apparent on his cheeks. "ummm, hi?"

He has a deep, radio talk show type of voice.

"Did you get a letter too?"

"Yeah...."

"Huh.... well, I'm Guude"

I... I'm Kurt"

Kurt seems to be very hesitant and shy. I'll have to remember that.

"Do you know where we are and why we are here?" Kurt asks quietly

"I only know as much as you do"

"Oh...."

"Do you happen to know anyone else here?" I question

Kurt glances around the room "no"

Kurt looks down at his hands again. I highly doubt I'm getting anything else from him.

I glance around the room, seeing another person sitting up. I walk over to him. he had black hair and deep blue eyes. he's wearing a red shirt, black pants with a tool belt, and black boots.

"Hi there!" Are you being forced to participate in this 'experiment' as well?" the person asks in a southern drawl.

"Yeah, I'm Guude"

"I'm Vechs! are you also from some where in the south?"

"Yes. I grew up in Texas, but live in North Carolina."

Vechs' face lights up "awesome! I live in South Carolina!"

"Cool"

"What are you guys talking about?" someone with a thick Swedish accent asks

"Where we live" Vechs says

"I'm Guude and that's Vechs" I add

"I'm Anderz! I'm from Sweden!"

I take a chance to glance around the room again. I notice Kurt getting talked at by some guy.

"You two can talk, I'm gonna go see who else is up." I say walking towards Kurt.

Kurt notices me and sends me a nervous glance. the guy talking at him glances to me, where Kurt was looking.

"Heyo! I'm Zisteau!

Zisteau is bald and has brown eyes. he is wearing a purple hoodie, jeans, and sneakers

"I'm Guude" I glance at Kurt "are you ok Kurt?"

Kurt looks almost started by my question "umm.... no.... er... maybe?"

Huh...

"I'm sorry Kurt, was I to forward?" Zisteau questions, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Kurt bits his bottom lip "a little"

I hear some yelling behind me and spin around. the silver haired guy an a guy with purple eyes look like they are about to punch each other. they are getting in each others faces.

I rush over and get in between them "alright, alright, let's not fight!"

"And why not?" the guy with purple eyes sneers, his voice deep and raspy.

"What are you fighting about in the first place?"

"I don't know, he... he just makes me want to punch him" the guy with purple eyes says.

"I know you have no reason to listen to me or trust me, but can you please wait to pick a fight till we find out were we are and why we are here?"

"Fine" they both say

"By the way I'm Guude."

"I'm Etho" the silver haired guy says

"Nebris" the guy with purple eyes says

"I'm gonna go greet everyone else, just don't kill each other, ok?"

"No promises" Nebris says, a smirk on his face.

I sigh and head over to a small group of people.

~~~~ (switching tenses)

"That ones Guude, right?" DinnerBone asks Notch

"Yes. he seems to be a natural born leader, just like I suspected." Notch replies

"Yes, he does"

"And Nebris and Etho seem like rivals already"

"How exactly did you choose these 30 people?"

"I chose each on for their personality. one with the courage, determination, and patience to be a leader. some that are creative and have the drive to build and be architects. some with the knowledge and insightfulness to be engineers. some with the know how and knowledge that can be agriculturists. a choice few with the skill and luck to be hunter. a few with the determination, drive, and confidence to be explorers. then there's Kurt. He's different from the rest. He's very charitable. he's an introvert, so he's very shy and insecure, but he has the the drive and determination, unlike anyone else. he could be any of the groups, but I feel he will be an explorer." Notch pauses for a minute, stroking his beard thoughtfully. "I have been monitoring this group for a few years. they all have something in common, the absolute and total will to survive. they have all been through hardship, but they always bounced back with such... determination.... such... passion. they have what could help save humanity from the crisis that is coming. they could be exactly what the world needs."
