Eternals

Part 2

~1 month after Newt came up

"Seems like it's an annual thing. To have the box come up I mean. The noise from the box is loud and annoying," Newt said to Alby as they were standing at the edge of the box waiting for it to come up.

"Yeah, you'll get used to it though," I replied, coming up behind and scaring him.

"OH MY... Don't do that. It was scary the last time you did it and I don't need to die of fright Ti," Newt said scared. It didn't even faze Alby because I did it to him a lot when it was just us those 2 months before Newt. I decided to hide my wings. I just found that out after Newt came up. It's nice to know that I'm able to do that. Then the mechanical doors opened, then we opened the box to reveal a boy. He has black hair that looks like it has too much gel in it, he also has brown almond-shaped eyes. He's kind of cute but I like Alby WAY more.

"I'll go down as you did it last time, Alby. And don't worry my wings are hidden for now," I whispered to Alby.

"Okay, but be careful and make sure you don't do what you did last time. As you scared the kid," Alby whispered back.

"In my defense I didn't know that I could hide my wings," was all I said before jumping down, being careful not to scare the newbie.

"Hey, kid, I'm Tigris, you alright? Like in any injuries or anything like that? Maybe even a headache? As lights and noise from the box are most likely the problems of the headache," I asked.

"Yeah, you think," The boy said with a lot of sass.

"Oh, bad move dude. You shouldn't have sassed her. That's if you don't want to see the light of day again," Newt said.

"Do you think you get away with sassing me like that? When I, the person in front of you, has horns?" I sassed back then the boy stayed quiet. "Thought not. Now let's get you out of this box greenie. No need to hide in here all day." Pulling my wings out. Getting us both out and landed on the grass gently.

"He'll freak out in 3... 2... 1," I said, pointing a finger at the newbie. Right after I did, he started freaking out like an over bored freaking out.

"Y-y-you have wings, scars, aaand you have HORNS!?" The boy yelled the last part while the boy's started to laugh their heads off.

"Let me correct you, these are not scars, they're a birthmark. How 'bout you go run some laps. And once you're done if you are still not calm after. Then I'll make some tea that will help you calm down. And your name will come to you in a day or 2. Ignore their laughter, they don't laugh that much. Hey, slim it you shanks," I said yelling the last part which shut the boys up afterward. After explaining everything to him, he ran 2 laps. He was still shaken up so I made some Remember Tea. Yes, it's a stupid name but helps the person that's drinking it remember and calm down.

"Here's the tea, if you need anything else let me, Alby, or Newt know. As we are going to need to lean on each other a lot as we're stuck here with no way out," I said as I handed the tea to him.

"Thanks. I still think it's weird that you are the only girl here. Does that get lonely?" The boy asked.

"I mean yeah sometimes but I try to have fun with it and not think about it too much. Seriously, I can do things they can't and vice versa. Hey, I think we should take all the deadwood in the forest and do a bonfire. The ashes can be put in the garden as they will help with the plants as well. Alby, Newt, what do you guys say?" I asked for their opinion as it matters to me.

"Yeah, sure, why not," Newt said happily.

"Sure, but one thing you have to sing, deal?" Alby said.

"What? I don't sing, and if I did I wouldn't do it," I sassed at Alby with a smile.
