The New Girl

The New Girl-Chapter Eight

I woke up with my hands tied behind my back, blindfolded, and in a tiny room. No, a box! Aleah must be behind all this, I thought to myself. Then I remembered, I was with Eli! Where was he? Where's my slugs? Scorch, Fluttershy, Spike, Bolt, and Tricks! They were all with me before I blacked out! Suddenly I felt a little pin prick and some heat on my hands. My hands dropped free and I took my blindfold off. Yup I was in a box. And to my surprise my slugs were all in here with me. "Thank god you guys are ok!!" I said relieved. My blaster was still in it's holster too. I wonder why Aleah didn't take my slugs or blaster away? And why the heck am I in a damn box?
Something suddenly hit the side of the box I was in. The thump was followed by a growl. A tiny hole, made from use, was in the side of the box that the growling came from. I carefully peeked through the hole. I saw Aleah and her gang talking in a corner. Then Aleah turned and started walking away. I watched her walk right to a tree. She was just talking, to the tree? Then she shifted and I saw him. Eli! He was tied to a tree with a blindfold on. His slugs and blaster were in a see through crate on a stump next to him. A tear rolled down my face but I brushed it off. Then what Aleah did next made me mad! I couldn't do anything about it either! She grabbed Eli's face and started kissing him, a lot. He was squirming, that made me feel better, knowing he didn't like it. Aleah stopped and started walking towards me, or my box. I quickly wiped my face off and just sat there with my head down.
The top of my box came off and a familiar face came into view. Aleah Gates, used to be my best friend, now she's just a no good pile of crap that deserves to be shunned by everybody she loves and cares about. Deserves to be alone in this world, defenseless and helpless.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Lizzy Faith Hunter. Master of Slugterra...oh wait that's not right! More like pathetic, minuscule, human of Slugterra." Aleah snapped at me.
"Ya I'm the pathetic one! She who left our world because she was hated by all only to come here and still be hated by all, well all who are in there right minds that is." I said glancing up at Aleah.
My box was tipped over then and I went rolling out. I gripped my blaster and got ready to duel. I took the first shot but it wasn't what I expected. Scorch shot from my blaster at a speed unknown to mankind. She hit Aleah square in the chest and she went flying backwards. Aleah hit the ground hard, I could see that she landed on her arm and broke it. She was out cold. I ran to her, checking for a pulse, thank god there was one.
I remembered Eli then. Aleah's gang was nowhere to be seen, but I still kept my eyes open.
I ran to Eli. He looked up, saw me, and smiled so wide I almost cried tears of joy.
"Eli are you okay?"
"I am now" Eli said with a smirk.
I untied the ropes holding Eli to the tree and hugged him so tight I doubt he could breathe.
"What happened? How did we get here?" I asked Eli.
"You were knocked out cold, and I tried to get you back onto Lucky because you fell off when I got hit from behind and I blacked out too." Eli explained.
"Well we're fine now, lets get out of here before anybody notices we're gone."
We hopped on Lucky and rode off. We arrived at the hideout alarmed but unharmed.
"I have a surprise for you!" Eli whispered in my ear excitedly.
I smiled from ear to ear. Eli led me to his room and say me on his bed. He gave me a light kiss on the cheek then moved to my lips. We kissed until we couldn't breathe. It was passionate and sweet and I never wanted to leave his side. I wanted to stay here forever because I knew that's where I'm supposed to be.
