Jewel
Darkness. That's all I could see. My body felt weak. I was scared. I look up to the sky. The moon shined bright in the sky. And suddenly I wasn't scared anymore.
If you're ever feeling lonely just look at the moon. Someone, somewhere, is looking right at it too.
I stand up to see where I am. It's a dark alleyway. I look at my arms to see someone's written on them. It's an address, along with a side note.
I love you, my jewel, I hope you never forget that.
After a very long walk I arrive at the address. A huge skyscraper. I think I'm in the wrong place, but some guy that works there assured me it was correct. I take the elevator to the 110th floor and walk down the hall to the last room.
I ring the doorbell. After a while, no one answers so I ring it again. And again and again. Then I hear a voice.
Who would come here at 2:00 in the morning?
Then the door finally opens. 2 girls and 3 boys, all in there pajamas, are staring straight at me.
"Can we help you?" One of the asks.
"Yeah, I woke up this address on my arm. I was hoping you knew something." I said, hopefully.
The boy studied my arm. Then he looks back to the group in shock. Then looks back at me.
"Yes, it's our address. Who sent you? Who wrote this on your arm?"
"I don't know, but I was wondering if you could let me stay? I know it's a long shot, but I don't know where I am and I have no where else to go. I promise I'll be out of your hair as soon as possible."
They all look at each other in confusion.
"Can you give us a minute?"
"Of course."
They close the door. But I can still hear them, almost perfectly.
We can't let her stay! We have no idea who she is! What if Roman and Riker sent her to spy on us!
We can't just leave her! Something could happen to her!
We have no evidence she is who she says she is!
We have no evidence she's not either.
It wouldn't be right to not let her stay. We could help her and after all she seems a little familiar to me.
The door opens again. One of the boys looking mad, but one the girls' gestures for him to talk. He rolls his eyes and looks at me.
"You can stay, but we don't have a guest room, so is the couch okay?"
"Yes, that's wonderful. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this means to me."
"No problem. I'm Bree by the way, and that's Skylar, Olivier, Kaz, and the bump on the log over here is Chase." She says pointing to everyone. "Okay, let's go get you some blankets and a pillow and- ohh, I never got your name."
I look at hands, realizing I didn't know my name.
"Jewel."
"Ohh, that's really pretty." She says, stopping for a moment. "Do you have any stuff, Jewel?" I look down, seeing for the first time what I'm wearing. A black tank top with a skull on it. A faux leather jacket, with ripped black jeans and combat boots. No wonder they were cautious. I look like I was about to go rob a bank.
I dig in my pockets to find 5 dollars and a chapstick. I shake my head.
"It's okay. I'm help you get fixed up."
Bree had been very nice to me. She helped me get settled and even let me borrow some of her clothes. She didn't ask much questions about who I was or why I came here. I think she knew I didn't want to talk about it, which was much appreciated.
When she finally goes upstairs and I get comfortable on the couch. I suddenly hear something. I can't tell what it is so I get up to go to the terrace. I open the door and step outside only to see 2 black crows fly away.
