A/N: Hello everyone! This is the first fanfic that I'm posting and am working on many others at the same time. I will see if I can post a new chapter at least once a week, but no guarantees. Thankfully, summer is almost here so I won't have to worry about school being in the way. Anyway, onto the chapter!
Chapter 2: New Beginnings
I wake up with a start, breath caught in my throat. I have no idea where I am. I feel the warm, morning sunshine through the blinds in the room. I blink the the sleep from my eyes and look around the room. The walls are painted a light, cream color, a snow colored carpet covering the floor. I let my breath go as my mind starts to rewind to last night. The guns, the fence, the sense of freedom... My senses suddenly go on hyperdrive as I feel that someone else is in the room. My eyes scan the room until they lie on a figure directly in front of me. Sitting on a chair is a boy that looks about my age. He has brown, scruffy hair that looks messy but neat. He's wearing a plain, red t-shirt and dark jeans. His eyes are a bright forest green. I suck in my breath and back up.
"No! No, it's ok, you're safe." The boy says standing up and coming closer. I back up til my head slams against the backboard.
"Oh, geez! Are you ok?" The boy sits down on the bed and examines my head.
"W-where am I?" I manage to say.
"Oh! Sorry." the boy says backing up. "You're at a safe house. I found you in the woods unconsious and bleeding, so I brought you back here." He rubs the back of his neck nervously. I feel myself relax and lean against the bed frame. "What's your name?" he asks.
"Arya. Ayra Sky." I reply.
"That's a very pretty name." I feel a light blush reach my cheeks and see it reached his face too. He looks down and I let lose a small giggle. "What?" he says looking up, making me fall into a fit of giggles at his confused expression. I finally managed to calm down enough to speak.
"Sorry. Couldn't help it." I say, wiping a stray tear. "Thank you." I say looking at him.
"Why? What did I do?"
"I haven't laughed like that for a long time." I say with a smile. An awkward silence falls between us. "So, uh, I didn't catch your name." I say, breaking the silence.
"Oh, sorry. It's Daniel." he answers with a smile. "You hungry?" As a response, my stomach growls. He laughs and stands up off the bed. I go to follow when a thought pops into my head.
"You said you found me in the forest, right?" I asked. He nods. I start to panic. If he found me, than he must have seen...
"Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me." I look up and see him smiling. I stand up from the bed and follow him out of the room. We make a left and go down a hall which is lined with multiple doors. At the end, the hall opens up to a living room and a kitchen with a bar counter. Daniel walks around the counter and opens the fridge.
"Are eggs ok with you?" he asks, taking the carton of eggs from the fridge.
"As long as it's edible." I say, sitting down on one of the stools at the counter. Daniel turns on the stove and takes out a pan.
"So where did you come from?" he asks, cracking the eggs in to a bowl.
"That's an interesting story." I say with a humorless laugh.
"We've got time."
I sigh. "Well, it started when my parents left me."
CLIFFHANGER! I love writing cliffhangers, so as an advanced sorry, expect a few cliffhangers. I am going to be working on the next chapter as soon as I post this one. Please review! I value all of your opinions and would love some feedback.
