Pomni's POV:

It's been over two weeks since I appeared in this hell hole of a place. I'm still trying to cope with the fact that I'm not geting out of here any time soon.
Some how I've been feeling really homesick over a home I don't even remember having.
Raggatha is nice and all to talk to but I want something more. Something I cant quite put my finger on

Jax POV:
It's been a few weeks since that thing has been here. I think her name is Ponni. I can't fucking remember. It's been less boring since she came I guess.
Raggatha has been more talkative since there is someone new but overall things haven't changed much except for when Pon-thing fucks up on a activity that Caine makes us do.
I've been noticing something's been going on with her. Shes been more distant theses past few days... like dozing off and being consumed in her thoughts. Somthings going on and i want to know why

.......

Pomni's POV:
"GOD FU-OUCH" I say. Caine just put us in this stupid challenge were we have to dodge flying objects. I try to run as fast as I can to find somewhere to hide but god it feels impossible.
After forever of just running and looking for somewhere to hide I find a place in between a big blue letter block and a corner of a wall. I quickly shimmy my way into the spot and there I try and catch my breath. As I try and calm myself down my mind starts to take over me...
"Why am I here? How did I get here? I just want to go home. I just want to leave this place.." I start to hyperventilate. I cant seem to stop thinking and just curl up in a corner and try to hold myself... then I heard footsteps

Jax POV:
Canie's new challenge was so boring. Flying objects? Be so fucking serious he needs to create something new. As I run dodging flying rubber ducks I catch a glimpse of her. Raggatha told me her name was pronounce "Pomni" I mean I was close enough. I see Pomni looking for a place to hide and I can't help myself but to follow her.
I don't know why I did. Maybe it was because I wanted to see how she can mess this challenge up or to try and make this challenge more difficult for her but whatever it was I followed her.

It wasn't hard to keep up with her pace. She didn't run that fast but I still made sure to not make myself visible to her. Suddenly I was bombarded with flying shapes and I had to run the opposite way from her to make sure I wasn't seen. Finally after losing the shapes I tried to look for Pomni again and I suddenly found her in between a cube and the wall...crying.

Pomni POV:
I look up from where I heard the footsteps and I see...Jax? "W-what are you doing here?" I say trying to wipe my eyes

"You look like shit, what happened to you?" I hear him say but I can't bring myself to look up.
"I-I'm fine their is no reason to worry about me" I say through a sniffle. My mind starts to ramble again. Why is he here? Does he even care or is it just another game for him? I just want to be left alone.

Jax POV:
I asked Pomni if she was ok but her response was lackluster and after a few seconds I see her tightening up the hold she has on herself. "Ugh why do I even fucking care. It's just Pomni she'll be ok, there is no reason for me to be here" I tell myself but something deep inside pushes me to stay. I walk over to her and sit right beside her.

"You know when I first got here I wasn't always this mean" I say to her looking up to avoid making her uncomfortable.

"I find that hard to believe" she says with a forced giggle

"No, I'm serious I actually tried my best to be kind because I didn't know what anything was and I..." I paused for a moment "I was scared that if I messed up a challenge or "games" Caine would have us do then I would get punished."

I hear her pause for a bit "what did you do to become the way you are now?"

That question got be confused. The way I am? Am I truly that self centered that it's hard for others to think I'm nice?

"Um- well" I try and think of a response "I just got more comfortable with everyone I guess and there was no point in trying to be nice anymore because no matter what I did I knew they would still be with me in the end"

"Wow, didn't know you were such a softie Jax" Pomni said as she elbowed my side softly with a giggle

I look down at her with a soft laugh and I just...look at her. I never noticed how kind she looks with her big soft eyes.

Now facing her I asked the question again "So um- what seems to be the problem with you?" I asked

She took a sigh "I don't know honestly, I'm geting home sick over a home I don't even remember and its driving me crazy"

"Do you want my advice?" I see her nod "well when I first got here I wanted to remember my old life so badly so to cope I tried to make mental notes about myself, like what i liked or disliked and then imagine what I would be like in the real world. For example, since I'm so hilarious I would imagine myself as a comedian telling joke to thousands of people, making them laugh till they pissed thier pants."

"Oh ewww your gross" Pomni laughs while relaxing her body just a bit "that's a nice way to think about it, I wonder what I was in the real wold"

I see her thinking and I can't help but notice how cute she looks. Even with her eyes slightly red and her hair messed up form the objects she looks...really cute.

"Well from what I can see you're kind but very quiet. You're quick to point out stuff but that also makes you overthink everything..." I say thinking of what people in the real world acted like "you could have been an assistant."

"An assistant?" She looks at me with puzzled eyes

"Yeah those people who take notes of everything. They are good because they think outside of the box and from every angle, they are quite when need be, and your quick to point out If anything is wrong." I say with a cherry voice "I think you would have been an assistant, and a damn good one to"

I see her look at me and smile softly. Wow... I like her face

"Thanks Jax" she says

I think for a moment

"It's pomni right?" I asked randomly

"Oh uh yeah" she replying confidently

"Not to be rude but your name is weird as hell and hard to remember"

"Wow, that was rude but I can't really do anything about it now" she says with a shrug

"How about a nickname? One for only us to use since nobody thinks your name is weird" I say

"Um sure I guess, what were you thinking?"

"I was thinking...Pom Pom" I say like I'm presenting the name to her

"I mean it's not the worst and it's better then you calling my name weird" she replys with a content face

My little Pom Pom...I can get use to this
