DELICATE - TMR, Gally x OC

003: late night walks

This night she did not accept to sleep in the med hut. The bed was uncomfortable and she didn't feel safe.

She had seen some people walk in and out of huts during the day, maybe one of those?

Aria moved her feet towards Newt who was standing talking to a boy she hadn't seen before.

-"Hey Newt, you busy right now?" He smiled when he saw Aria, "Nah not really, talk to you later Ben."

-"I'm sorry if I-" "No no no don't feel bad, Ben is talking ALL the time. He can't keep his bloody mouth closed for shuck."

He grinned, "Well what did you come to the second-in-command for?"

  -"Yeah yeah, where should I sleep?"

He frowned his eyebrows and looked at her with a face that said, are you stupid?

-"Well I slept in the med den last night soo.."

-"Right. Well uh you could take my hut? It has a lock and the sloppers cleaned it earlier today so it's not dirty."

As Newt had left her alone in the hut she locked the door and sat down on the bed. If only there was another girl she could talk to.

She had Newt, yes.

Jeff and her was close, and Alby was kind.

She knew Zack but she didn't feel close around him.

And yeah well Gally was just, Gally.

She sighed and dragged down the poor curtain over the window. She had missed dinner since she had to go to Jeff.

She felt her stomach screaming for food after working the entire time, but couldn't bring herself up from the bed.

An hour later she were still rolling around in the bed, not being able to sleep.

Two hours later were the same.

She sighed and pulled on some clothes and went out, locked the hut so no one could sneak in.

Then she just walked around the "glade" as they had called it. She didn't really see herself as a "glader" but who else was she?

And who were Winston? She had heard the name multiple times but found it weird she hadn't seen him yet, considering Jeff had thought they looked identical.

Her feet were dragging her towards the forest, even tho it scared her.

The trees were towering over her, the dark leaves made her feel a shiver go up her spine.

But she faced her fears, and walked in watching the moon light give her a bit of help so she wouldn't run into a tree.

She found the lake that Newt had talked about earlier, and sat down with her back against a tree.

The moon and stars made reflections in the water.

But it still, wasn't so peaceful after all. Her thoughts were running around making Aria feel dizzy.

Are we stuck here? Who put us here? How long did it take until the other memories came back?

Her heartbeat fastened at the thoughts of not escaping.

And just a few minutes later she was sat there gasping for breath, shaking and crying.

Am I overreacting all this? The thought made everything worse and she started to zone out.

She squeezed her hand trying to calm down but it didn't help. Her hand were cold and shaking so fast it felt unreal.

-"Why can't I remember how to stop this!" She frustrated shouted into the night, not really knowing who it was targeted too.

-"Someone... please..." she got out and it just got worse.

She dragged herself on her knees towards the lake, with no second thoughts she threw her head down under the cold water.

Then up trying to catch a breath, and down again.

She repeated the cycle for a minute before someone dragged her away. Her sight being blurry.

Aria fell down into the unknown persons arms trying to get help somehow.

-"Aria listen to me. It's going to be okay." She couldn't focus any longer and almost passed out.

-"Help me.. please.." she said with a weak voice.

The boy held her hands rubbing circles making her breathing slow down a bit.

-"Shh just focus on breathing alright?" She nodded and listened to him counting.

-"Breathe in.. one two three. And out... amazing now one more time."

Exhausted how everything, she slowly drifted away to sleep. She trusted this boy with her whole life, and hoped that nothing would happened now.
