For some reason, today was a particularly humid day, and even last night it was hot too but no one really said anything about it though. I mean it's barely even dawn, and the sun isn't up yet. It's hot as hell out here! Everyone is sweating and we've just left the Library about ten minutes ago. Finally, Mr. Sir shows us where we will be digging on this lovely morning, and we get started not wasting our time with small talk.
By mid morning I was almost done, I had one more foot to dig. I looked over to my left and Zigzag was more than half way finished. Then I turned to my right to see zero climbing out his hole and heading toward camp. He kept his eyes narrow and moody and his head forward while D-tent made rude comments to make him retaliate but it didn't work. About thirty minutes later, I was done and walking back to camp so I could take a nice cold shower all by myself.
After my five-minute shower, I started back for my tent and got dressed. Instead of a hot tee shirt, I threw on a small wife beater and some thick boots. I brushed my hair back into a bun with a few curly strands left dangling and put the locket around my neck. In my opinion, I was ready to go...but where we I go.
'I could go to the Rec. room but there's no one there...everyone still digging,' I thought to myself.
'I could bother Pendanski...but he's out at the digging site. Damn!'
'I got it! It's lunchtime so I'll just go the mess hall and eat...even though I be the only one there. What the hell, I'll just take my music.'
It was settled I grabbed my I pod and began to walk to the Mess Hall. When I got there, I saw the Warden there supervising the boys who were on kitchen. She was probably making sure they did not try anything. Then she turned her head to the door, and looked at me. She smiled lightly and went about her business. I studied the room for my tent but none of D tent was here. I saw a few boys sitting at the tables, some sat with their tents others sat at different ones. That's when I saw a strangely pale boy sitting all alone at a table in the far corner. When I got my lunch, I walked to the far corner where the boy was, in the process I saw a lot friends from the other tents who wanted me to sit with them. They a looked weirdly at me when I declined, and went to go sit with the boy in the corner.
As I got closer to his table, I got a better look at him and it scared me. His entire body was white considering the heat and humidity; he had long jet-black hair that stood up in spikes. He had on thick black lipstick that glimmered in the light. You could tell that he colored his hair because he was sweating so much that it was starting to run down the sides of his forehead. That he would occasionally wipe off leaving marks on his hand and face. His eyes were just as black as his hair but scarier and intimidating. The boy had long pointed ears that stuck straight up and that were white. He had numerous piercing all over his face and various kinds of tattoo's going all over his arms and up his neck. He was very skinny and it made him look like a skeleton. Even though he was sitting, anyone could visibly see that he was tall. I swallowed my pride, put my tray down across from him, and slipped my I pod in my pocket. His head slowly rose upward to me and he stood up, towering me at an amazing 6'10. At that point, I was scared shitless, ready to pee my pants. My throat went dry, my body numb with fear. After about a good ten seconds all I could muster up was,
"Hi".
"Hey", he said smiling.
'Oh shit' I thought 'He has vampire fangs! Who the hell does he think he is Dracula?'
"Why don't you sit down?" he asked me and I did.
"What's your name?" I said trying to developed conversation.
"Everyone calls me Spike, but my real name is David Featherbourne."
"Mine is-"
"Leslie Stephanie Hanes. Am I right?" He said licking his spoon.
"How did you-"
"Let's just call it a sophisticated presumption. Your related to X-Ray. Is he your brother perhaps?"
"..."
"By the look in your face I'd say you are brother and sister. I had two siblings once, a little brother and a little sister, I was the oldest."
I was afraid to ask but mouth got ahead of me once again, "What happened to them?"
"They both died, including my parents."
"That's horrible...how'd they die?"
'Once again I want to grant myself with the Biggest Mouth Award,' I thought.
He began to laugh almost in vain and said, "I did it...I killed them, it was me."
My mouth dropped and my body tensed up. Everything nerve and instinct told me to get up and run but I didn't.
Then he threw his head back hackled louder and everyone's head turned to us.
"I was kidding can't you take a joke?"
I felt my eyes water up and I jumped up out from the bench and slapped him. I turned and ran out the door my face wet and my vision clouded.
I couldn't see where I was going then I felt something solid and thick. I began to fall but the person caught my arm before I could hit the ground.
I opened my eyes to see Slick and his motley crew of tent mates. Then he released me and I hit the ground with a thug.
"Well...well boys look what the dog drug in...its bitch," the rest of his tent roared in laughter.
I scrambled to my feet only to be kicked back down to the ground.
"Did I tell you to move...you little slut?! I'll get you for taking my shovel. Bitch!"
He began to kick and hit me in pelvis, chest, and stomach area. The laughing died around me and I heard people telling him to stop. Then in a swift motion he hit me with his shovel hands right in the side of my head and everything went black.
SPIKE
I feel bad about teasing Leslie...I mean Ice but she isn't here so I can't apologize to her. Now everyone is giving me death glares and making threats for causing her cry. I kept looking ahead then got up to go back to my tent.
I started to walk to the door and almost stepped on her light pink I pod. She must have dropped it on her way out, so I slipped it in my pocket and went to go find her.
I heard some commotion behind the Rec. room and went to go see if something was wrong. I saw Leslie sprawled over on the ground unconscious, and Slick standing over her kicking her. Without thinking, I charged at him and tackled him to the ground. He kicked me off, and we stood toe to toe.
"That's enough Slick!"
"What fuck Spike?! I thought you were on our side!"
"Well I changed and...um...you should too, before something bad happens to you."
"Who's going to stop me?"
"Me."
"You and what army?"
"..."
"Like I said you ain't going do nothing."
"I'll inform the Warden and you know what will happen if I tell them about what you just did."
At that moment, everyone was silenced and the rest of my tent backed off, and ran to A tent.
I knelt down next to Ice and checked for a pulse. Before I could even see if she was alive, I felt someone shove me out the way. I looked up to see one member of the D tent clan. Zero
"What the hell did you do to her Spike?!" he said examining her.
"Nothing...I was-"
"Just get out of here!" He yelled and I took off like a rocket.
I glanced behind me and saw Mr. Sir, Pendanski, and the Warden taking her the Med. Center, which was right next to the Rec. room.
I jumped into a hole that was dug a long time ago bit my lip until blood showed though and cried.
X-Ray
We were walking back to camp when I saw Zero running toward me covered in blood.
"Zero...what the hell hap-"
"You guys those jerks from A tent jumped Ice and the Warden got her in Med. Center now."
'How could this happen why wasn't I there to protect her?'
We all started to run the building with the words Hospital on it. Mr. Sir was standing right outside.
"How's my sister?!"
"It's best if you boys head back to you tent now she'll be fine...but she'll be here for a while. Day or two tops."
"When can we see her?"
"Tomorrow...but don't go messin' wit A tent. If you do the water goes down hard on everybody mainly Ice."
I huffed and shoved passed the other boys and ran to my tent. I kicked my cot and started to throw things around. Then I felt someone grab me and I turned to see Armpit.
"Why her...uh...can you tell me that?! Why wasn't you there watching her?! Why?! Why?! Why wasn't I there Pit...why wasn't I there?!" I said crumpling to the ground with my head in my hands.
Then the whole tent became silent and sat around me in silence.
SPIKE
I glanced at my watch and it read 12:05 everyone must be sleeping.
I snuck back into camp and creep toward the Med. Center when I got there I found her room and the window happened to be opened. I climbed in, went next to her bed, and looked over her. She was hooked up to a lot machines and seemed to be sleeping.
"I know you can't hear me but I going to say this anyway...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you in the Mess Hall and this would have never if I had kept my mouth shut. Just to let you know I'd give anything to be in your spot. You're the first person who's been nice to me in a long time." I whispered to her then I heard someone coming and I slipped her I pod in her lifeless hand and kissed her forehead.
I tiptoed to the window, climbed out, and ran back to my tent.
LESLIE
I opened my eyes and gripped my I pod tightly in my have and whispered, "I forgive you."
Then I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
WOW! That took me forever and I'm tired. It was 10:00 p.m. when I started and now it's 1:50 a.m. What can I say thinking of a chapter off the top of my head is hard especially this long. Well please REVIEW! Have a nice morning.
