Encountering the Blades: a Newt Fanfiction

"Up Greenie C'mon..."

Gally looks taken aback as his straightens his posture rubbing his chin.

“Oh, you are ON Greenie,” he says looking at you with a smirk.

He starts charging at you, little did he know, you were a lot smarter than you looked. You moved slightly to the side and hooked your foot tightly around his ankle and yanked upward, causing Gally to plummet hard to the ground, out of the circle.

Everyone looks at you shocked at first than one boy, Frypan you think it is, starts cheering.

“Y/N beat Gally! SHE WON!” Everyone else joins in, although It ends soon as Gally starts to get up, rage plastered across his face.

He walks over to you slowly and throws out his hand. 

‘Is he really going to hit me,’ you think.

Nope. He stretches out his hand toward you offering a handshake.

“goo-job... greenie,” he slurs his words.

“Thank-,” He starts to tip over and is about to hit the ground when you grab onto his arms to hold him up. 

“Shuck... he’s a lot heavier than he looks guys,” you say, and then everyone realizes that you're holding Gally up, and Alby walks over to you guys.

“He must have hit his head on the way down,” Alby says.

You just respond with, “yeah, probably.”

Alby and a few other boys take Gally from you and transport him to the med-jack’s shack, and you are left standing there, when you hear the grinding of stone against stone.

You flinch as a boy comes up to you, and touches you on the shoulder, causing you to fling your fist backward, just barely missing him. 

“Woah, hey, it’s okay,” he says, “I’m Zart, by the way.”

“Sorry -er instinct I guess... hi Zart, I’m y/n.”

“yeah... I know, Alby told me to show you where you're sleeping tonight.”

“You guys have beds here?”

“Not necessarily,” he leads you to the homestead where there are a bunch of hammocks, “Well, this is it... home sweet home.”

You stare at the hammock and aren’t actually that upset about it. Zart was about to walk away, when you grabbed his arm and thanked him, “Hey... thanks, for you know- showing me..”

“No problem,” he smiled at you and then started to whisper so the boys couldn’t hear him, “I slipped an extra blanket in there just in case you get cold, must of us are used to it by now.”

You smiled at him as a sign of thanks, and he turned around and walked off.

You climbed in your hammock and found the extra blanket, glad everyone here was so kind to you, and dozed off to sleep... Only to wake up by someone shaking you at the crack of dawn.

“Up Greenie, c’mon new day, and I got something to show you.”
