Read after or Before I don't care...
Spoiler
Mystica (The narrarator) is speaking in her Native tounge but it has been 'translated' to english. After she gets to the factory does she attempt to write her journals in plain english. Also, each chapter starts with a breif description of what the doctors are thinking. Please don't ask why she understands what the doctors are saying it gets a bit easier later on...


'We are now in the forest of a small, uncharted island. We hope to find people to study today.'- Dr. Cheryl Pasternak

I ran through the forest as the tall pale men chased after me.
That day had been so peaceful. I turned 19 and got my birthday ring. We had been celebrating and dancing and just having fun. But as our leader placed the ring onto my finger, a young girl fell to the the ground with a dart in her arm. A few more were fired before everyone started to flee.
I lost track of everyone, and I was running by myself. The men tried shooting the darts at me, but I was lucky enough to dodge them. I was nearly away from them when I happened to trip over a tree root. One of the men grabbed my arm and picked me up.
"We ain't here to hurt you, girl. Just stay still and you'll be safe." The one said. The other was about to shoot the dart.
A female appeared out of nowhere, watching. "The last one. Well, Jacob and Travis beat you to getting everyone, I swear they just shot the darts at anything that moved. After she's done, put her with the others. Then we'll start the research."
The two men nodded, and the dart hit my arm.
After a short time of uncoordinated vision and actions, the forest started to fade, darken and blur, and I lost total coordination, as I slipped into a dark and fuzzy unconsciousness.

Alright, so, that was short. You don't give the reader nearly enough detail or emotions. I was also very confused.

That day had been so peaceful. I turned 19 and got my birthday ring. We had been celebrating and dancing and just having fun. But as our leader placed the ring onto my finger


What ring? What does it symbolize? Why is it so special?
Why are they being hunted?

Those are the few of the questions I had. Try asking yourself questions as you write.

Hello, Nice work!
Just a few suggestions.

>insert detail here<

One of the men grabbed my arm and picked me up.-( You just turned 19,no struggle or anything?)

"We ain't here to hurt you, girl. Just stay still and you'll be safe." The one said. The other was about to shoot the dart.
A female appeared out of nowhere, watching. (space)
"The last one. Well, Jacob and Travis beat you to getting everyone, I swear they just shot the darts at anything that moved. After she's done, put her with the others. Then we'll start the research."
The two men nodded, and the dart hit my arm.
After a short time of uncoordinated vision and actions, the forest started to fade, darken and blur, and I lost total coordination, as I slipped into a dark and fuzzy unconsciousness.- it seems a little redundant her, try shortening it.
But above all, don't tell us that you lost coordination, show us. Use verbs and adverbs to describe how you walked or how your vision shifted or something like that.


What's going on here?
Don't get me wrong- this little piece shows me that you have A LOT of potential as a writer, but i just can't tell what's going on in the story/prologue.
The turn of events from a birthday celebration to people shooting at other people is just confusing, but it would flow a lot better if you gave more of a background on why? or How? or what? was occurring.
if you get what i mean.
But keep on writing!!!
**** ALWAYS be confidant in your abilities!!!!

Thank you both for the feedback. I'll edit it later, I'm having alot of trouble with this story but I can't stop writing it. I struggle with this story over all because I cannot relate to the characters as well as my other stories, but I'll work on it.

Treat girls like a sweatshirt. It looks nice and it makes you look good. But when the sweatshirt changes they toss it on the floor.
Other Boys:
Treat girls like a human. They treat her with the respect they should get and love you no matter what happens.
