Jade's POV:
Darkness.That's all I could see, apart from all the other crates in the metal box. The smell of burnt oil and sound of machinery was enough to make me panic. I could hear chains rattling as I kept moving to wherever this... thing was bringing me. I stumbled back as I travelled faster and faster. I felt for anything around me and felt metal. I walked slowly with my hand along the walls and concluded that I was in some sort of metal box/cage.
"Help me!" I screamed. The box was traveling faster and faster and showed no signs of stopping. I sat back down and curled up in a fetal position. I tried remembering why I was here and what happened. Nothing came to me.
"Wh-what's my name? Why can't I remember anything?" I stammered and mumbled to myself. I crawled around the box and felt a crate. I opened it and could roughly make out a shape of a big knife. I felt for the handle by running my fingers across the blade. I felt something wet on my arm but ignored it. I found the plastic handle and slowly pulled out the knife. I gripped it and sat back down in the corner.
The metal box came to a sudden halt and I was thrown backwards. I could faintly hear voices and I scrambled backwards until I hit a wall. I put my head on my knees and used my hair to cover me. Light shone through 2 gigantic doors and I shut my eyes tight. A figure came into vision and the voices became louder.
"What's down there?!"
"The new greenie shuck face."
"He has really long hair and looks like a piece of klunk"
"You look like a piece of klunk shit-shuck face"
The chattering continued and a felt someone come into the box. The person put a hand on my shoulder and I looked up. He had blond hair and has nice brown eyes with a really nice jawline. I would be lying if I said he wasn't attractive.
He gasped and fell backwards. He got up and scrambled to his feet.
"It's a girl!" He shouted, eyes wide with shock. I was shocked by his sudden outburst and immediately held out the knife.
The chattering increased tenfold.
"Is she hot?"
"Dibs on her!"
"What's a girl?"
I stood up and held the knife, pointing it and the other male figures above me and blondie. Everyone stumbled back while a dark skinned boy jumped down and looked at me. I could tell he was scared. I don't know why though.
"Please, put the knife down and let's get out of the box," he said calmly, as if I would spring at him any moment, which I might do if he showed signs of harming me. Hesitantly, I lowered the knife and a piece of rope was lowered. I gripped onto it and felt myself ascend.
The moment I got out, I was met with about 50 boys, ages 15-19. Oh great, I'm surrounded with 50 hormonal boys and only a machete to defend me. I looked around to see 4 massive stone walls surrounding us. It was the perimeter of the big green field we were all standing on. I could see a gap and my first thought was to run and escape.
I broke into a sprint and ran towards the doors. All the boys started shouting for me to come back but I ignored them. I looked back to see about 5 boys running towards me, blondie being at he front about 4 feet away from me. I kept running and dodged someone who almost caught me by my waist. I kept running.
I stepped foot out of the gap before having someone pinning me to the ground. I felt his body weight on my back and I struggled against his firm grip. Seeing that he wasn't going to give me up, I stopped struggling and waving the machete wildly. He put his arms around my waist and carried me back to the field. I looked down to see his arms and my shirt slightly tinged with red and saw a deep gash on my arm.
Oh.
So that was what was wet.
The other boys just made a path for blondie carrying me, leading to what looked like a poorly built shack. Their eyes were wide with fear and I glared at them. I looked at my clothing and realized that my baby blue shirt was stained about 3 quarters with blood on the front. I wiped away the sweat on my forehead and found some blood on it too. No wonder I looked so intimidating. I had blood all over me and looked like I killed about 10 people.
Huh
'I've made a great first impression' I thought to myself. The door of the wooden shack opened and blondie carried me up the stairs.
"My name is Newt. You put on quite a show back there" he chuckled. I bit my lip and smiled a small smile. He had a friendly aura around him and his arms were wrapped tightly around me. I looked at his arms.
Oh god his arms
He opened another door on the second floor and put me on one of the beds.
"Med-jacks will be here soon. Don't run off again and please put down the knife. It's scaring me and will give Jeff a heart attack. Weak shank," Newt chuckled at the last part. He made his way to the door and turned around. I decided I could trust Newt. After all he helped me.
"What's your name?" He asked
I thought about it and made a face. I could hear Newt laugh but I didn't care. I looked up with big eyes and shook my head. I was still overwhelmed by everything. He was about to leave until a word flashed in my mind
Jade
"Jade," I blurted out. Newt looked back at me and came over to give me a hug and I hugged back. He was really warm and invited my hug. He was really friendly. I could feel my eyes go wet as I held back a sob. I guess there was too much for me to handle and that I really needed affection. I felt so alone and being in Newt's embrace calmed me down. I felt safe in his arms and it felt somewhat... familiar.
"That's a beautiful name," Newt smiled, while he wiped away my tears, which I didn't even know leaked out of my eyes.
"Hey, stop crying. Your skin is too flawless for tears," he said softly.
"I'll let you settle down and take a nap ok? You seem really tired," he added. I smiled gratefully and mumbled a quick thanks. I sat on one of the beds in the room before pulling a thin sheet which what I think is a blanket over me. I closed my eyes and sighed.
Maybe being here wouldn't be that bad after all.
