Nightmare Dressed Like A Daydream (Newt Love Story)

The Box: Chapter One

Her prov:

I wake up to darkness and a buzzing sound. I stand and feel around. I am in a small box space, like an elevator of some sorts. "Hey!! Anyone there?" I yell but get no response. My voice almost scares me out of my skin.

I decide not to yell again due to it being a small space and the noises bounce off the walls. A red light flashes every now and then only for a second. I feel the floor moving up, so it must be like an elevator but to where it goes, I don't know.

I don't remember anything, nothing personal at least. I remember logic like the sun is in the sky in during the day, moon out at night and random facts. Moon. It reminds me. My name is Celena. It's a greek name meaning moon.

The space shakes, jolts and comes to a stop. I fell due to the stop and my arm lands on something sharp.I feel a long deep cut and warm liquid gushing out of it. I quickly move and sit in the corner pulling my legs in, knees close to my chest, putting my now injured arm around them, the other holding the knife after I took it out.

I hold out the knife to protect myself. The roof of the box thing opens and a light shines in. My eyes adjust to the light and I see a cloudy sky and green grass around the border of the box. I stack of boxes that came with me and climb out cautiously, the knife not leaving my side.

The first thing I see are big huge, gray, stone walls surrounding me. I come out of a box, to come into another? Really? In one corner is a forest area and the rest are pretty many plain fields of grass.

There are openings like an entrance to an alleyway or a door. I go back into the box. "Now there must be some medical supplies." I open all the boxes and just my luck, it's the last box I open. I get a bit frustrated with myself.

I dig through the box of medical supplies to see what I got. I find some gauze and put it on the deep cut and grab a medical wrap or medical bandage and wrap my bicep, keeping the gauze on my cut. I put all the other supplies back.

Since there is nothing but grass and forest, I start to unload the boxes so I can try to make a shelter before night hits. By the appearance of the sun. I would think that the sun will set in about 5 hours.

If I'm correct. After unloading the boxes I see that I forgot the animals that came up with me. Just some chickens, and a sleeping dog. Well, I don't want them to escape when I bring them out, so, I open all the boxes and find some wood, build a fenced little space.

As I open the boxes again, I think of things, where am I and why is it hard for me to remember anything about myself. And while I'm thinking I come up with names since I don't think I will be leaving here for a while

. I'll call the elevator The Box. I decide to call the new land The Glade since glade means open space/field in the forest and there is a forest in the corner on the now Glade.I make a pen for the chickens and I will find out something for the dog.

Once a small pen is built, I put the 8 or so chickens in. I go back to The Box and wake the sleeping puppy. It is adorable. I lift it out of The Box and climb out. I look at the pup for a minute. It just stares back at me, it;s head crocked to the side, tail wagging.

"Hello there." I probably sound pathetic talking to a dog, but there is no one else here but me and him, or her? I pick it up and check. "Hello boy." He licks my face tail wagging still. " Well, the first thing we need to do is name you." I put him back in front of me and he just starts walking in circles.

"Max?" He looks at me. Ok, so that works since he listens to it. "Ok next. Stay." I walk backward to see. He stays there but tilts his head, almost like he's confused. I stay a few meters away from him to see how long he will stay, but unfortunately, he runs over to me and jumps at my legs.

I bend down and pet him. "Good boy, Max." I see that it is getting dark so I won't have time to build me a good shelter for the night. I go through the boxes and find some bread. I nibble on it and give little pieces of the crust to Max.

When done eating, I walk into the forest and look for a suitable tree. I hear a loud rumbling noise. I look and see the openings in the walls, closing. This place is getting Stranger and stranger.

I find a small little lake. I bend down and look at my reflection. I have long black hair that frames my face, big gray eyes that look as if the light in them has left, and small pink lips. I move on from the lake.

I find a big thick maple leaf tree and make 2 piles of leaves. A small pile for Max and a larger one for me. The leaf piles won't keep us warm, but it is softer than the cold hard ground. Max jumps in his pile and leaves fly everywhere.

One lands on his nose, he just looks at it and starts to paw at his nose, trying to get it off. I laugh at his silliness. I take the leaf off his nose and remake his bed. It's dark now, I lay down on my back, looking up at the stars and eventually fall asleep.

Later that night, I am awoken by a loud shriek. It is coming from the other side of the walls. It doesn't sound very welcoming or friendly. The walls are closed so I am ok. I fall asleep again, reminding myself that I'm ok.

I am in a room. Full of desks and high tech. There are little kids sitting in the desks, working. I see what looks little me, 7 years old maybe. I'm sitting at a desk. In front of me, a screen with test questions. My eyes flick through the screen and see a boy. He has blonde hair and beautiful brown eyes. He stares at younger me. My younger self-blushes looks down and continues to work. They keep on glancing at each other while they work.

The scene changes and I are in a plain white room. I see myself again, but older this time, 16. The same boy is with me, about the same age as well. "Newt, you're my best friend. I won't ever forget you." I'm crying. Tears are in his eyes as well. We are holding hands, standing in front of each other. "We will find each other again. Don't give up. I won't let you." More tears fall down both of their faces. He pulls her in for a hug. Then........

I wake up.
