The Cheshire Cats Deadly Smile//NewtxOC

River of So Called Regrets

Ebony's eyes shot open, as she shot up in the bed she was laying in the med-jacks hut.

"Easy there, love." Newt's voice whispered in her ear as he steadied her.

"What happened?..." she asked, rubbing her eyes trying to get rid of the headache thudding in her ears.

"Well you woke up in the middle of the night, and Fry said you started groaning which woke him and Jack up and they woke me, Minho and Gally up. After that it was crazy. All the others woke up too, and we tried to talk to you but you didn't hear us. After a half hour of that you screamed and passed out so we carried you here and Clint checked you over and said you were physically fine."

She stared at Newt for a long minute,

"Half an hour....it felt like ten seconds." she groaned, Newt shook his head just as Clint walked in.

"You're a real pain in my butt you know that! I was fast asleep and all of a sudan minho practice punched me in the gut cause you were passed out!" he grumbled, Newt rolled his eyes, and Ebony smiled innocently.

"Sorry Clint..." she muttered,

"I don't want to hurt people..."

She flinched, the same memories rolled around in her head, but not full memories more like small flashes. They didn't hurt but they didn't feel great either.

"You okay?" she nodded,

"Yeah...just have a headache...what time is it?" she asked, just then noticing the sun peeking through the wood walls.

"I don't know, like six." Clint stated, "what happened to you back there?" he asked,

"To be honest I don't know, I woke up from a bad dream and then my head hurt like needles were stabbing it. And I kept having these dreams flash in my head or something..." memories those were memories! Her heart skipped a beat, were those her memories!? She kept calling this guy daddy so he must have been her father, but he was so cruel...and what did she mean when she said her mother had died a miserable death from being cruel?

"Maybe you have been working too hard. I mean you joined the runners like two weeks ago and you've already gone in the maze like what five times a week, that's a lot." Clint suggested putting a bundle of bandages in a cabinet. Newt nodded in agreement

"You could help me with the tracker-hoes for a week, let yourself relax a bit." he suggested, Ebony opened her mouth to disagree but nothing came out.

"Good so it's settled." Alby said out of no ware appearing behind Newt. All she did was nod, next thing she knew she was helping Newt tend to the ten tomato plants wall her mind wandered, she had only killed three people in the month sh had been in the glade, and the note had said to kill five, but it also said leave the nine...so who were the nine? It must not matter as long as there are nine still alive.

"Newt, I'm gonna go get some more fertilizer for this plant here." she called to him, he nodded, and she headed off to the dead heads. After getting fertilizer Ebony wasn't surprised to find Jack, dumping the cooks trash out, all alone. Some of Ebony resisted, she didn't want to kill Jack, he was so kind and really easy to talk to, but she was doing what she was told...and for some reason she couldn't resist.

I want you to remember this moment, as Jack fell limp at her feet, that she did in fact not wish for him to be the one to die, it had just been a sad coincidence. So when you lay awake alone at night wondering why she could do something like that, as Newt did that night after finding her standing over Jack's body. Remember that it wasn't all her, the blood had been dripping from her hands, Yes. she had the fear any caught creacher had as they were thrown into a cage, where she now slept awaiting her banishment. But her head wasn't all there, her head was screaming, begging, clawing at her to be let out of its cage. But Ebony stayed silent, her eyes locked on the floor of her cell. Do you know how it feels to have your brain screaming and your heart laughing while you stare at the ground unable to silence the constant noise? I'm sure you don't, but let me tell you it's not a fight many win, and i'm not sure Ebony ever won it, but i guess everyone fights a war they won't win...it was a dream to die were she sat on the cold hard ground, but no dreams come true for someone like her and she was a fool for hoping it.
