Chapter 1
Guilty? She thought to herself,
Guilty of what? Every memory before today seemed to have disappeared, she didn’t even remember her name. They said it as they read her verdict but was it really her name?
Ruby, as they called her, had been sentenced to 5 years on a prison located out in international waters this morning. This was the earliest memory she had, and she had no knowledge of any crimes they said she had committed.
Confused and scared she had been taken away stripped down to only a red jumpsuit and placed in a bus along with four other girls and two boys who seemed just as confused as she was. They were not allowed to speak to one another and nobody told them how long the ride was going to be.
After what must have been a few hours they arrived at the docks where a large ship that looked like an old cargo ship was waiting for them.
On the ship Ruby and the other prisoners had been locked in their own cells while being transported out to the sea. Her mind was spinning as she sat in the corner of her cell, not a single piece of furniture was placed in the cell, just a perfectly square room with white walls and a door.
What did we do? What did i do? She thought to herself sitting there. Not being able to figure anything out she just closed her eyes trying to wait out the ride and hope she got her memories back eventually.
“Wake up!” A man shouted, she slowly opened her eyes and tried to get a look at the guard standing in front of her, he was wearing a black coat with matching black pants and he had short dark hair. “Get up missy! Time to get off this ship.”
With no sense of time for how long she had been out or even what time of day it was she stood up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, the light hitting the bright white walls in the hallways was hard to adjust to.
Once Ruby arrived at the deck with the guard she could see others aswell, she thought she recognized a few of the ones from the bus earlier but there were a few new ones that had arrived on the ship aswell, five guys in total and six other girls.
And then, in front of the ship she saw it. The big fences looked like they circled the entire island, probably ten meter high with barbed wire all across it. Watch towers all around with guards manning them and spotlights shining across the prison.
Where the hell am i? Was all Ruby could think looking at her new home.
