"Listen Red, I don't have time for games."

Her eyes fluttered open and she groaned raising one hand to touch her forehead, the feel of warm, soft silk on her skin made her eyes widen. She sat up and threw the red covers which were covering her onto the ground. "What on-" Her own cry of pain cut her off, as soon as she stepped onto the wood tiled floor she fell back into the bed. She glanced around the area, a lip between her teeth as she tried to fight off the excruciating pain. The room wasn't small but it wasn't big either, four walls were covered in a white wallpaper and two more beds were in the room with her. A large dresser was in one corner and a table, next to it a large mirror. Terra's brain slightly throbbed as she tried to figure out how she got here. The door opening caught her attention, Terra tried to stand up to defend herself but it was all in vain as she fell back down once more into a sitting position on the bed, a girl walked into the room. "Hey I'm Ivy." The girl named Ivy had big grey eyes and her red hair stopped just above her shoulders.

Terra didn't speak as she moved further into the room, a tray in her hands and on it a bowl and a cup. "How's your leg doing?" The red head asked stepping closer to her, "Here." She placed her hands under Terra's left leg after setting the tray down onto the table, "Let me check your leg." Brown eyes looked down and Terra realized that her skin was wrapped in a bandage. "No one here has the ability to heal but I think I did a very good job." Ivy smiled softly at Terra who just at her with a stone set face. Ivy carefully started peeling off the cloths and Terra's mouth opened, "Where am I?" Ivy finally removed the bandage and moved away to set it down on the table, "The place where the last ones with gifts survive." Terra's eyes widened. When Ivy turned back around with new bandages in her hands she froze, the black haired girl was no longer resting on the bed.

With widened eyes full of shock, she scanned the room, "Oh no." Ivy mumbled. The bandages slipped through her fingers as she ran out the open door. Terra stumbled out of the room as she tried her best to walk with the throbbing pain in her leg. Faces turned towards Terra, their eyes wide in surprise and shock, Terra glanced at all of them quickly before stumbling once more towards a door at the end of a long hallway. "Hey, stop!" Ivy called behind her as she ran to catch up but Terra didn't stop. She needed to leave. "I said stop, you can't leave!" Ivy pleaded. Terra's left leg gave out on her and a cry left her lips as she fell into the wall beside her.

With a large intake of breath Terra took one look at the door before raising her leg and slamming it down onto the ground. The room shook causing Ivy to stumble into the wall, the other faces all gasped trying to stable themselves. The roof screamed as metal broke from the ceiling, Terra closed her eyes as the metal did quick work wrapping itself around her leg, as if it was a bandage. Another breath. Terra was quick, she pushed herself away from the wall and speed walked to the door. "Stop!" She heard the girl shout and Terra froze as fire started raising from the ground. It cackled and burned brighter as she continued staring at it. Her grey and brown eye moved around the area trying to figure out how to get out of this situation.

A couple tense seconds later Terra let out a sigh, turned around and glared hard at the girl who had her arms raised, eyes wide as she pleaded, "You have to stay inside. I'm sorry but it's not safe out there." A smirk came on Terra's lips and her footsteps echoed in the almost silent room as she walked closer to Ivy, "Listen Red, I don't have time for games." Terra stopped, standing nose to nose with Ivy. "I'm leaving."

"That's enough." A deep voice made Terra look to her left. "Go back to your room while I'm playing nice." The boy with short brown hair and green eyes glared at her. Terra chuckled with no humor as she moved from Ivy and came to stand toe to toe with the new comer. "I think you should take your own advice." Terra said through clenched teeth.

Their eyes challenged one of them to make their first move, Terra's lip tugged up, "You two know nothing about the outside do you?" The boy's eyes hardened even more and he moved closer, opening his mouth to speak but was cut off by a sharp clap.

"Oh I see we are all getting along." Terra turned around and saw an elderly man staring at the scene infront of him with a smile, "Why don't you follow me?" He held out his hand, his eyes nearly all white as they gazed at Terra, "I'll explain everything."
