I dragged my rake across the soil, tired. I sighed. It's my first day and I'm already feeling exhausted. Fun. I turned to Newt, who was working beside me.
"Why do I have to be a Track Hoe?" I asked him.
"Because you are the new Greenie and I'm second in control so I have to make sure you don't get into trouble." His British accented voice said.
"I'm not trouble." I said, sternly.
"Not yet."
I scoffed.
"You know, if you're going to be bloody annoying, go dig us up some for fertilizer." He said.
I glared at him and started off towards the Deadheads. I walked through the deep thicket of trees, goal in mind. A branch slapped my face and I ripped it off the tree, throwing it onto the ground. I kept walking for some time, until I reached my destination. I saw a little grave looking thing with a small piece of bark on it. Someone had carved George on it. I wondered what happened to him. I heard a crack of a twig and my head snapped back to see a boy, a couple meters away from me. His breathing was short and his head tilted slightly. His fists clenched and I slowly backed up.
"Hey, uhh are you okay?" I asked quietly.The boy lunged at me with full speed, pushing me to the ground.
"HEY, GET OFF ME!" I yelled.
"It's your fault! I saw you! ITS YOUR FAULT!" He screamed at me, his spit flying everywhere.
He pinned me to the ground, and he jabbed his dirty nails deep into my forearm. I cried out in pain and he stared to choke me. I gasped out loud and my ears were ringing. I got my feet under his lower stomach and pushed him off my body. I got up quickly and sprinted to the opening of the Glade."HELP! SOMEONE HELP!" I cried out, the boy still on my tail.
I made it to the open part of the Glade and ran towards the garden. The boy caught up with me and pounced on me, pinning me once again."FUCK HELP ME!" I screamed.
"I'LL KILL YOU! IM GONNA KILL YOU!" He shouted.
"Hey!" A accented voice yelled.
The boy turned to find who said that and his face met a shovel with a loud THUNK. I gasped and looked over at the boys body, blood streaming down his head.
"MEDJACKS!" Newt shouted.
The boys carried his limp body away to the pit.
"Are you okay Greenie?! What happened?" Newt asked me, concerned.
"I'm not really sure," I say, rubbing my eyes. "He just came out of nowhere and attacked me! Fuck." I whispered the last word.
Everyone was making their way back to their jobs, having too much going on for one day.
"What happened to him?" I asked.Newt sighed. "It's called the Changing. It happens when someone gets stung."
"Stung?" I asked.
"No more questions." He replied quickly.
He offered his hand to help me up and I took it. When his hand met mine, I felt a slight tingling sensation in my hand, slowly making its way up my arm. I let go of his hand."What the fuck was that?" I muttered under my breath.
"Hmm?" Newt asked me.
"I didn't say anything." I said.
