The Strange Room.

"Where am i?" i asked myself as i stared through the darkness, "what is happening?" i asked again and my voice echoed again and again. Then i heard scary laughters, "Thompson welcome home," i heard a masculine voice said. "who are you?" i asked again although my voice was not clear, i was shock to the marrow.
Suddenly the Room lit up with light and i saw them clearly, they were seven beared men puting on red cloths, their faces was different from other faces i have seen, they had two eyes and one extra eye on their forehead, they had three horns on their head,they were just too different from the normal people i see daily.
I stood tranfixed as i glared into those big eyes, as though they could read my thought, may be they could, "Thompson are you scared?" The Man in the middle asked, he seem to be their leader. Scared was an Understatement, i wanted to talk but my lips would not give way to the words. The other men burst into laughter, "you should be and you shouldn't be" The Leader said as the laughter suddenly die down.
"What do you want from me?" i heard myself asking. "what a very good question" the leader said smiling but it would have been better if he had just kept the smiles because they were horrible. "you have been chosen." He finally said.
