Darkness engulfing him, wind whistling around him, the swift upward motion was causing his stomach to tingle, signs of retching. He attempted to stand, but his legs were shaking too much. Sitting on his knees, he called out.

"Where am I?!" He shrieked. "Help me!"

He found his bearings and stood, wobbling around along with the metal cage in which he was trapped. Fatigue washing over him like a flood. Dehydrated, he searched for some sort of source of water. Surely this huge unstable trap had some water for him. Crawling, spreading out his hands, he searched something to quench his thirst. His hand found a wooden crate and he felt around for a lid. Successful, he popped it off, quickly reaching into it. It was just straw. What's straw?  he thought. Somehow he'd forgotten... everything. Except his name... Aris. How do I remember that? Where am I? What is this trap? His mind was racing with questions. He couldn't remember what happened before this moment. Throwing all thoughts aside, he stretched his hand around the straw, searching for water. The thing he found wasn't water, but... He gasped, dropping whatever it was back into the box. He closed the crate and foraged for more. 

He had some concept of time, he thought he'd been in there for about fifteen to twenty minutes. He was unsuccessful in finding water so he slumped on top of one of the boxes and closed his eyes. Maybe I'm dreaming. Yeah... I'll wake up in my bed... What's a bed? He stopped and threw all thoughts away a tried to sleep. He must've dozed off for ten minutes, when he opened his eyes there was an abrupt stop and voices. Adrenaline was rushing in his body, his heart was racing, body shaking. He sat up, bracing himself for the oncoming people who were above him. The light flooded his eyes. He squinted, trying to see who was up there. It was girls. Just girls. They looked confused. One was coming down on a vine. She had platinum blonde hair and silky white skin. She approached him slowly, examining him. Looking up, she called.

"It's a boy!" 

Someone else called down.

"Who is he? Why is there another one!?"

What did they mean by that? Was he the only boy? What was going on?

The girl ignored the caller, and stretched out her hand. The sudden movement startled him.

"Hey. Welcome to the Maze."

Boom. Blackness.
