So I thought about it and decided to put another one up, the last chapter was pretty short so I figured why not. This one is kinda short too sorry. Love you all, Enjoy! <3
I was already in the tree when Newt came.
"Where did you learn to fight like that" he asked
"I don't remember" I rolled my eyes
"Right, sorry. So Eloise, think you can teach me how to fight like that?" he asked walking up to the tree
He had a limp, I hadn't noticed that before. It was kinda cute. No it wasn't stop thinking like this El oh my god.
"Yes I can and you may call me El if you want" I blushed slightly
He smiled
"Ok then El, there are 3 very important rules that everyone must follow. 1 never go outside the glade unless you're a runner."
"I already broke that" I interrupted
"2nd never hurt another glader"
"I broke that too" I interrupted again
"And the last rule is everyone does their part. No slackers"
" I've been asleep for a day so i'd say I broke that too" I laughed "how do I find my job?"
"Well everyday starting today since it's barely 10 you will have a different job, whichever you fit in the best in you will probably do."
"Great can I just choose now instead of having to do anything, I'll save everyone the trouble"
"one you don't get to pick, the keepers do, and two, your not being a runner" he said simply
"What no fair, why"
"It's dangerous out there, and we can't decide to put you as a runner only Minho can, since he's the keeper. And I'll make sure he won't let you."
I started losing my temper
"That is not your decision to make, I know you for a couple of days and you're already starting to act like you own me, I am not a puppet. I do what I want, when I want to and unless you want to end up like the boy at breakfast I'd advise you not to test me." I said coldly
"You. Are. Not. Going. Back. There." He answered just as coldly "I'd advise you to get ready, you have a trial. Like you said you broke all the rules"
He left. How dare he speak to me like that, like I was just a pawn in a bigger game.
T.W In these next few paragraphs there will be Self harm and degradation.
I jumped out the tree and ran into the woods. Something inside me was rising and I didn't like the feeling, it needed to go away.
Once I got fairly far into the woods I started punching the tree. The more it hurt the better I felt.
"I am not weak" I punched
"I am not dumb" I punched
"I am not worthless" I punched
"And I sure as hell don't fall for anyone" I punched harder
My knuckles were bleeding at this point and I slumped down onto the ground. I looked down and realized what I did, I fought a guy, hurt Newt who was nice to me, and made my knuckles bleed.
"What the hell am I" I muttered
An animal, that's what I am. I reached to grab my throat when I felt a necklace, I had never noticed it's presence. It was a heart, it looked like a locket. I grabbed it, I felt safe. I opened the locket and found a picture of me, Ben, a woman, and a man. That's when everything went black.
Screaming, crying. The woman was getting pulled from us, the man had black stuff coming out his mouth and he was acting rabid. Our parents.
"I won't let you take them" my mom screamed
There were people in white suits pulling me and Ben away.
"Stop" I screamed "Mama"
The white suited guy pulled out a gun, he shot my father first and then pointed the gun and my mother
"HEY, she isn't infected" Ben yelled
"I know she's just getting on my nerves" the guy yelled
He shot her.
I woke up in the Med room
