CHAPTER 4
Is She Dead..?

-LUCAS-

   I was shocked about what had happened. Heh..get it? That girl woke up out of nowhere. Falkor was also confused since he was in the bathroom the entire time. I heard him saying odd hero lines like, "I'm here to rescue you." I also heard him saying some stuff about Avikas like, "She's nothing but an annoying lowlife with a useless power that's not even powerful."
Peyton had woken up from going sleepy bye bye when she tried tackling the girl with the blindfold. Amaya was still a little dizzy when she woke up. Pilot had damaged his wing from a hat hanger when he was trying to fly. And it's a very painful process because literal winges are erupting out of his back. Lemme just say, there was a lot of blood.
We had placed the girl in a locked metal room. Peyon had cleaned up her wounds and Avikas had helped with clothing. Peyton also treated Aarons bruises. I'm pretty sure that he's still pissed. That girl sure has made a bad impression on him. I think she was just scared to be honest. And it didn't really hurt as much when she shocked me. It was startling I must admit. I was paralyzed for some time.
The other girl that was found was named Mollie. She's been playing board games with us. I must admit, she's really quiet but there's a reason for everything.
We've all experienced traumatic events but none of us look broken now. We're all okay now I think, I hope.
After a few hours or so, I heard loud banging coming from the Metal room. She was awake and attempting to break from the chains. She was punching on the walls and everything. No matter how badly in pain she is, she'll do anything. She body- slammed into the door but failed to break it open. We left the bandages that were wrapped around her wrists, neck, and ankles assuming that those wounds were still healing. She sat there with an emotionless face, shaking.
I was still confused how that girl can see with that blindfold on. Maybe it's see-through. If it was, we'd see her eyes but we haven't.
"Hey." I said. It was maybe 2:00 in the morning. I didn't know I hadn't checked the clock in hours. She slowly walked to the door and grabbed onto the bars. She tilted her head a little like she was in confusion.
"Are you okay?" I asked. She kept her head tilted. After a few seconds she looked straight at me.
"Wh-where am I?" She asked.
"Wow! I didn't think you could talk. You should talk more because your voice is really pretty." I smiled at her.
"P-pretty?" She said in a confused manner.
"Uh, yeah. You say it when you find something really interesting, nice sounding or beautiful looking." I told her. I didn't really know how to explain it.
"Oh. Where a- am I?" She asked again.
"It's our home! We're the UNW's." I told her.
"UNW's?"
"Yeah! It means Unwanted." I informed her. "Most of us we're abandoned or rejected." I rubbed the back of my neck.
She had stopped looking at me and went over to the bed, laying in it.
"Oh, okay then. Sleep well...?" I told her and went to my room.
She's very odd. But overall, I think we'd make great friends.

When I woke up, I heard little whispers from outside my door. I opened it slightly and saw everyone in the metal room. I walked outside and rubbed my eyes.
They were all knelt down looking at her. Besides Falkor and Aaron. Aaron still looked pissed and Falkor seemed to have something else on his mind.
I walked over to them.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I said with a hint of confusion. Aaron looked at me.
"Hey luca." Aaron said.
"Remember on the news of those bad guys?" Falkor asked.
"Yeah what about it?" I asked him.
"Those guys' dead bodies we're dead for a while right? A week or so? She appeared right after they found them." Falkor infomed us.
"Okay, what the hell? Where are you going with this?" Aaron narrowed his eyebrows.
"So, what if she killed them? We could have a murderer in our house right fucking now." Falkor threw his hands up in the air.
"No way, man. She's too young." Aaron shrugged the thought off.
"And besides, the police said it was self-defense. Not a murder on purpose. Apparently if you accidentally kill someone in self-defense then you won't get charged." Falkor informed us once again.
"She seemed pretty scared that day when we fought." I threw in.
"How so? She literally keeps a straight face at all times." Aaron raised an eyebrow.
"When she touched the tip of my finger, she was shaking like crazy." I looked down a little.
"Still didn't give her a right to pummel us all." Aaron scoffed. I looked at him. That's Aaron. Unempathetic as always. I thought.
"There's a reason for everything." I muttered.
"If y'all had called me over i'd probably be able to take her down right away." Falkor scoffed.
"Yeah whatever man." Aaron smirked.
"Aaron, you got choked by a girl!" Falkor chuckled.
"Shut the fuck up. At least I helped fight her off." Aaron gloated.
"I already fucking told you, I. Was. In. The. Bathroom!" They fought while I watched.  I admit, we were pretty close. At the end we were laughing.
"Is she dead?!" Phoenix exclaimed. Falkor, me, and Aaron walked over to the bed where the blindfolded girl laid unconscious.
       "No, you idiot." Mr. Avek told Phoenix. Phoenix sat in the corner a while later crying.
        "Clearly she's still breathing dumbass." Universe and Peyton high-fived each other.
         "She's kinda hot not gonna lie though." Phoenix smirked creepily. Hendrix slapped the back of his head.
"No." hendrix said.
The girl with a blindfold had woken up. She sat up with her blanket wrapped around her. She didn't notice us for some reason. I think it's because she had her blindfold on. Everyone had stepped quietly away from her bed and made space for her to move. Aaron didn't get what we were doing and decided to just stand there looking at everyone stepping away. I attempted to pull him away but the girl with the blindfold ran into him. I then quickly pulled him away right as she was about to hit him. She began hitting the air. She fell onto the floor because of the scars and wounds on her legs and waist.
       Mr. Avek carried the girl onto the bed. Avikas walked over and saw she was bleeding. She then pushed Avikas and attempted to escape the room but failed. Aaron and Falkor held her back and then after a while she finally gave up. Mr. Avek knelt down in front of her.
        "It's going to be alright. Don't be scared." He said. She stared at him emotionlessly. He has never spoken to us like that before. Which I found odd.
"What's your name?" Mr. Avek asked her. She rubbed her nose and looked back at him.
        Nell. Nellise." She said rather easily.
        "What the fuck? She can talk?!" Peyton exclaimed.
       "Yes. She can." Universe smiled with a hint of annoyance.
        I looked at the bandages on Nell. They were slowly unraveling. Her hair was down and messy.
         We had finally let her out of the metal room. She ran out and we thought she was going to run away but she ran to her clothes and quickly slipped on her tattered sweater that we had washed for her. She brought it up to her nose and smelled it. She also grabbed her bag and pulled a little stuffed fox but it was white. She snuggled it and walked over to the big window. To be honest, she acted like a little kid.
       "Uh, is she good?" Hendrix asked.
       "She's really fast. I didn't know she was going to run out of the room like that." Phoenix said.
       "Yeah. I've got a headache now." Amaya rubbed the top of her hair.
       "You've always got a headache." Falkor scoffed. Amaya gave him an annoyed glare.
       "She's acting like a little kid." Aaron raised an eyebrow.
       "Well that's who she is, Aaron." Cinnamon squinted her eyes and smiled at him.  Miss. Hanteri barged through the door with another girl on her back.
          "Hi there." She said.
             Here we go again..
