Eternals

The Book part 1

*gasp* Where am I? Who am I? I thought as I stood up and took in my surroundings. It looks like a cage that they use for a zoo or something. Dang, the lights and noise are giving me a headache.

"Hello?" A gruff voice called out sounding like they just woke up.

"Hey, it's okay, you're not the only one here," I replied. My voice scared me because of how raspy it was from what I think was sleep. Then, the cage came to a sudden stop making me fall flat on my back. Doors opened up, letting in quite a bright, almost blinding light. I was able to see what I was wearing: army green camo pants, a black top that wasn't showing much, a men's red plaid button-up, a high ponytail, black leather combat boots, and some dog tags with the name of John Taylor. I assumed that it was someone I knew as that didn't sound right for my name. I decided to look down at my shadow to see wings and horns. So I reached up to touch the horns to see if they were real. I look behind me to see black wings which I also touched. And sure enough, they were and the wings were the softest thing I've touched. At first, I was scared of them. But I realized that they are a part of me and I have to get used to it. And that I don't have to be scared of them.

"I think we should get out of this thing," said the same voice from before but less tired. I jumped at the voice. Then, I turned to see who the voice belonged to, only to find a dark-skinned boy with a bit of muscle who looked to be my age. He seemed not to be scared of me. I then realized that I was staring at him. I blushed a little and looked away.

"Yeah, you're right, we should," I said. "I-I can get us both out. As I am the only one who has wings to g-get us out." I looked up at the sky moving the metal doors so they were open.

"Okay, and be careful. You might've not been able to use them in a while," He replied. I nodded as I was scared to make a fool out of myself in front of him if I talked. So I stretched my wings which are like 3 times my size. I guess I was about 5'10" with the horns. Anyways, I grabbed the boy's hand and lifted us out of the weird box thingy.

~After taking the crates out of the box

"Looks like we are stuck here with each other, like it or not. The weird thing is I don't remember my name. Or I would have told you already," I said.

"Yeah, same here. It's weird not knowing who you are or what your name is. But I think we should open some boxes, what do you say to that?" he asked.

"That's not a bad idea. Let's get to work and find out what's in all of them," I replied. The surprising thing was that there were some long crates with the letter T written on them. I am kind of curious about what's in them.

So I said, "How about we open these long ones with the T first? There can be something important that we need in them."

"You're right. Let's go ahead and open them, ma' lady." He said with a smile and bow. Then when he looked up we made eye contact for a moment and we just busted up in laughter.

"Oh my... Why? Why did you have to do that? We will get nothing done at this rate, if we keep this up," I said in between laughs on the ground.

"I have no idea why I said that. But I think that's a good idea. Let's just pretend what I did. Didn't happen," He replied, calming down from laughing and helping me up.

"You're right. Let's get back to what we're doing but I am not forgetting what happened though. It's too hilarious not to forget," I said after calming down.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes really now back to the task at hand," I said.

"Yeah your right," he replied.
