3r person P.O.V-
Metal against metal woke the girl in the box. She groaned, putting her hand to her head to try and stop the pounding. It was dark and the floor of the 'room' felt cold and damp. She felt around, looking for anything to help her in any way possible. Although she couldn't exactly see anything, her eyes slowly adjusted, just enough that she could make out boxes and crates and the fact that she was in the corner of a small, metal, and cold room. The girl shut her eyes tightly. She couldn't remember anything...at all. She felt empty. She felt as if a part of her was missing. (Which there is) All that she knew was that she was alone in a small box-thingy, she didn't have memories of herself or her past life, and that the box was moving. She pulled her knees to her chest, rocking back and forth and not allowing the tears to fall. She counted the seconds in her head. The seconds turned to minutes and those minutes turned to almost an hour before the screeching of metal ceased and the sound of doors opening...
Greenie's P.O.V-
I covered my eyes as light from above came streaming down. What is happening? Covering my eyes with just my arm wasn't working, so i shut my eyes tightly in addition. I heard murmurs from where the doors were opening, but I refused to open my eyes. Then the doors opened all the way, blinding light forcing its way into the box, illuminating every corner except for me because I was behind a crate. I heard voices saying things like:
"The poor greenie probably klunked his pants by now!"
"Where's the greenie? Is he crying?"
his? and Crying? I don't cry...
I heard more laughs and loud talking. All of them male.
"SLIM IT SHUCK-FACES!" I heard a loud and demanding voice ahead. All of the chatting and laughing stopped and I squinted my eyes open. "Newt, go down there and see where the greenie is. Get 'em up too." The same voice said. I took my shoe off, grabbing it and aiming it at the opening. I heard a thud and threw it at their figure.
"What the SHUCK!?" I looked at the boy, he was tall, maybe around 6 foot, he was built and lean with sandy blonde hair and warm hazel eyes. He definitely wasn't unattractive. He was holding his nose with his hand, droplets of dark liquid seeping out. A triumphant and mocking smile broke out on my face. I wanted him to leave me alone. No...he can tell me why I'm here and THEN I want him to leave me alone. Once the boy noticed me behind the box his eyebrows shot up. He stared at me, his mouth forming an 'O'.
"Newt...what are you staring at? Get the boy out."
"It's a girl..." 'Newt' whispered.
"What?"
"It's a girl Alby. They sent up a shucking girl" He said louder, still holding his bleeding nose. I noticed he had a british accent. He stepped closer and I quickly grabbed my other shoe, ready to throw. This time I'll throw it where it really hurts. He stopped and held up both his hands. Blood was on his nose and hand but he didn't look any less attractive. Wait what? No no no no no...Never mind that. Another thud sounded in the box and I looked over, a dark skinned boy stood next to Newt. He wore an annoyed but curious expression on his grim face. He was broad and looked authoritative. I was guessing he was the one talking earlier. Newt never stopped staring at me and I felt my cheeks go warm. The other guy which I think is Alby stepped closer and I held the shoe up higher.
"Put it down greenie. We're going to help you out. I'm Alby." He held out his hand. That's funny, he thinks I'm going to take his hand. I ignored him and narrowed my eyes.
"Leave me alone." I bit out.
Alby sighed. "Just let us help you out and-"
"I don't need your help! Leave me alone!" I cut in.
Newt stepped forward hesitantly still holding his arms up.
"Look," He said. "We just want to help. You can trust us." I rolled my eyes.
"I don't even know you. How can I trust you? For all I know you could be evil aliens that want to enslave me."
"Evil aliens?" Newt was trying to hold back a smile but you could clearly see the twinkle in his eye. I nodded and kept glaring at the two of them.
"Just come with us and we'll tell you everything" I kept silent for awhile contemplating wether or not I should go with them. I nodded reluctantly and stood up slowly. I picked up both my shoes from the floor and put them back on, not looking away from Newt or Alby. They watched my every move, waiting to see if I did something. A rope came down and Newt and Ably pulled me up. I looked around. 30-40 boys stood in a circle around the hole in the ground. They all started laughing and talking.
"I call dibs!"
"Naw man, she's mine!"
"Look at that! She's shucking hot!"
I glared at all of them, clenching my fists and squaring my jaw. One boy shouted something so inappropriate I snapped. I looked in his direction. The boy winked, looking me up and down and licking his lips. I rushed forward, gripping his shoulder's and kneeing him in the groin. He gasped and slowly started to kneel down. I grabbed a fistful of his shirt and lifted him up again. I jerked my fist forward, hitting him in the nose. He stumbled to the floor. A couple of the boys gasped while others laughed they're heads off.
"ENOUGH!" Alby's loud, demanding voice boomed. I turned around, looking at him. He glared at me but I swear I saw a hint of smile. "Since your new, I'll give you a warning...don't do that ever again. You just broke one of the rules." I shrugged and looked back at the perverted jerk. I smiled mockingly when his eyes met mine. He groaned while his friends tried to help him up.
"Alright Shanks! Get back to work or you'll spend the rest of the day in the Slammer!" Alby yelled. "And Newt...find a place for her to sleep and give her the tour tomorrow." He turned away while Newt nodded. Alby walked away, shouting other orders on his way back to wherever he came from. Newt walked towards me, holding a piece of cloth to his nose.
"Two bloody noses in one day." He laughed and then added, "By the same person too." I smirked and shrugged.
"He was being an idiot and had to be taught a lesson" He laughed once more. I crossed my arms and stood stiffly. "Why can't I remember anything? Why can't I even remember what my own name is?" He shook his head.
" It was the same for all of us too, don't worry. We understand what your going through. We came up through that same box, without any bloody memories of ourselves or our name. We don't know why we were put here in this klunk place, but we made the best out of what we got. We aren't very happy about it, and we don't have everything, but we have what we got and we used it. Not the best...but we're all here and surviving. And that's all that matters. I'll tell you more once the tour starts. Come on...let's find you a place to settle, then we'll go get some dinner."
I nodded, following him to a large building, built out of large wood. Both of us stayed silent until we were inside. I looked around, staring at all the hammocks and beds. The boys must sleep here. Wait...theres a lot of beds here meaning that all the boys sleep here. OH HECK NO. I am NOT sleeping where the boys are! Newt stood in the middle of the room, tapping his chin with his finger, a blanket in his hand. I marched over to him. He turned around curiously.
"THIS is where I'm staying!?" I asked disbelieving. His eyebrow went up in questioning.
"Yes...?" He said, unsure. I shook my head violently.
"Nope...I'd rather sleep outside."
"Why can't you sleep here?"
"Because all the others boys are here."
"So?"
I rolled my eyes. "SO? I'm a GIRL." His eyes looked down and then back up quickly.
"Yeah, I've noticed that. What's your point?"
I slapped my hand at the back of his head.
"Ow! Stop hurting me woman!"
I rolled my eyes. "Let me sleep somewhere else"
He sighed. "Fine. More boys are outside. So it's either them, or me." I looked down, thinking.
"You" I said, not looking at him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't hear you. What?" I could hear the smile in his voice. Ooooh, that, that...MEANIE.
"You heard me!" I said, grabbing the blanket from him. He laughed.
"No...I don't think I did. Please say it again."
"I am tempted to punch you" He chuckled stepping closer to me.
"Aww, don't do that love."
I stepped back and ignored the fluttering feeling in my stomach when he called me 'love'. "Where are you sleeping?" I asked, trying to change the subject. He grinned and led me upstairs and through a door. We walked through. The room was small, with a desk, chest, and bed.
"Cozy" I murmured.
"You get the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." Newt said, taking the blanket from me and laying it across the floor.
"No. It's your bed. I get the floor." I said laying down on the blanket that Newt had spread out. Newt shook his head.
"Get on the bed"
"I'm good, thanks"
"Get on the bed, love" He repeated. I let a smirk spread out on my face.
"I don't know...this is actually nice"
Newt chuckled. "Fine then."
Thinking I've won, I closed my eyes and spread out my arms, stretching. All of a sudden, I feel myself be lifted up and set on the bed. I squealed and widened my eyes in surprise. Who-
"Heya love." Newt said, kneeling down so he's eye level with me. I glare and push him playfully.
"Aww, don't be like that. I love you!" He said dramatically. I barked out a loud laugh, throwing my head back. Newt knelt there smirking and tilting his head. "Don't hate me love" He continued. Oh gosh...what is that dork doing? He took my hand and made a big show of kissing it.
"Eeeew!" I laughed and pushed him. He pulled me down with him so that I landed on him. I kept on laughing while Newt let out a few contagious laughs too. Once we settled down I smiled at him. He smiled too.
"I like it when you smile...you look...nice" He whispered, looking at my lips and then my eyes, staring at me. "Really nice" He whispered so quietly, I barely heard him. I don't think he meant for me to hear that. I looked away, blushing. He pulled my chin towards him so I was looking at him again. We spent another moment just looking at him. He was really really comfortable so I didn't move from laying on him. One of his hands slid down to my waist and then back up to the back of my neck, leaving tingles in their wake. I shivered, leaning into him. What am I doing? I just met him today! Newt slowly leaned in too. We stopped for another moment, deciding what to do next. Newt closed his eyes tightly, not moving. I bit my lip.
"I'm sorry love...I shouldn't have...I..." I shook my head violently and slowly got up off him. I sat on the bed, watching him lay there for another moment, biting his lip. I felt embarrassed and stupid. What was I thinking? Newt got up and went to the chest. He opened it and dug in there for a while. He turned back around with a shirt.
"Here. I know you don't have any clothes, so you can just wear some of mine until we find out if they got you anything." He said offering me his shirt, all of what happened earlier, gone. I was relieved that we could just pretend that it never happened. Although a small part of me never wanted to forget...
He smiled and lifted his shirt up and over his head.
"What are you DOING!?" I shrieked, covering my eyes. He laughed and threw the worn shirt at me. It smacked me in the face and I made a disgusted face, holding it up with two fingers. I threw it back but he caught it and thew it in the corner. I grinned. He stood staring at me with a goofy grin. "What?" I asked.
"Aren't you going to get dressed?" He said innocently. I stood up and rolled my eyes.
"With you just staring at me?"
He shrugged "Why not?"
I glared. "You would love that wouldn't you?"
He laughed. "Yeah, Yeah I would." I smacked his shoulder.
"Turn around and no peeking." He grinned wolfishly and stepped closer to me so we were almost chest to chest. He leaned down.
"I don't know...that's going to be hard for me. Your very tempting" He said lowly. Butterflies erupted in my stomach and I had to swallow to respond. I leaned in closer, surprising Newt.
"I know baby" I whispered. His eyebrows shot up. I almost wanted to laugh. "Now turn around" He smirked and did what he was told, crossing his arms and facing the wall. I stripped out of my clothes, leaving me without anything but my bra and panties. Newt slowly turned his head, making me scream and throw my shirt at him, while the shirt was in his face, I slipped on the shirt. He laughed. Laughed!?
"I told you not to look!"
"Don't worry love, I didn't see anything." He walked closer, grinning. "Although I wouldn't mind having a peek."
"Ha ha ha...your funny." He looked her up and down, blushing slightly. The shirt went to her mid-thighs, showing off her tan and smooth legs. Newt coughed awkwardly and opened his mouth to speak. I crossed my arms, feeling slightly self-conscious.
"You um...look...good, I-I mean okay, well yeah you look good, but ya know...okay." I laughed and sat down on the bed. Newt's eyes followed mine. He sat down also, still looking at me. The room was dark but we could still see each other.
"Sorry for your nose" I blurted out.
He chuckled. "Naw...it was an honor to be hit by you." I knew he was kidding and I laid down. He did the same. "Goodnight love" I smiled at the name, covering myself with the blanket.
"Goodnight Newt"
Then I feel asleep with Newt just a few steps away. I don't know how this thought occurred...but I suddenly wanted to be in his arms...
