What does 'lost and found' mean? Or group A? The tattoo hurt my head so I just slid a shirt on and climbed in bed. The bed is so warm, and fairly comfortable, so I fell asleep right away.

***

I heard someone open my door, but I kept my eyes closed. I'm not ready to get up yet. "Time to get up greenie" I heard Newts voice at my door.

"Mmmmm" I moaned and rolled over. I could tell Newt had just woken up because his hair was all messed up. I smiled.

He chuckled "come on, you'll be working with the slicers this morning in the blood house"

"Fine" i grumbled and got out of bed. I followed newt out into to glade, which is very peaceful in the mornings. We walked to the complete opposite side to where the animals were kept. It smells like poop over here.

"Well you're going to have lots of bloody fun over here" Newt said and started to walk away "see you at lunch Annabelle."

I nodded and turned around. There is many animals and a little hut, so I walked over to the hut "ah you must be the new greenie" I heard a boy's voice say when I entered the hut.

"I'm Annabelle" I said and smiled. The boy looked nice, he had brown hair and brown eyes. He didn't look like someone who chopped up animals all day.

"I'm Charlie, and I'm the only one here right now. Winston is the keeper of this place, but he's not here yet." Charlie said and looked around. "There's not much to show you, do you have any interest in chopping up animals?"

I shook my head "not at all, it might make me sick even though I didn't have breakfast." I said honestly.

"Well it's nice to have a friend here, so I'm going to be real with you. They aren't going to put you as a slicer, and since Winston isn't here yet, I'll just tell him you got sick." He said.

"Wait really?" I asked Charlie. This is so nice of him. He nodded. "Is there anything you need me to do?" I asked.

"If you could feed the animals that would be great, and it will be about lunchtime by then. And if on the way to the kitchen if you could carry that box to the kitchen. That'd be great." Charlie said pointing to a box on the ground.

I nodded and grabbed the big bag of food. I'm not really sure what this is, but it's an easy job. It just takes forever, how many animals could they have possibly sent up through that box? More than you think. After a while I finished the feeding and headed back inside to grab the box, because I'm going to go get lunch now.

"Thank you so much Charlie, I owe you one" I smiled as I walked inside and grabbed the box.

"No problem. See you around." He said and I walked out. The box is really heavy, but carrying this all the way to the kitchen and feeding animals is better than being a slicer. I honestly probably would have gotten sick if Charlie had made me watch him in his work.

"Do you need help with that Greenie?" I heard coming up beside me. I turned to see a boy with short hair and eyebrows that had a large arch.

"That would be great if you don't mind" I said as the box is slipping out of my hands. The boy took the box from me and we continued, him seeming to have no trouble whatsoever with the box. "I never got your name" i Dias to him.

"I'm gally" he said and looked at me "I'm the keeper of the builders, I think you're coming to work with me after lunch"

Gally. This is the kid newt was talking about last night, he didn't seem so bad. "I'm Annabelle and I guess I'm coming with you after lunch because I haven't been told anything."

"Well alright" gally said as we approached the kitchen.

"Thanks gally, I'll take the box from here." I said

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah I've got it" I said, retrieving the box from Gally.

The box was again really heavy and I parted with gally. He was nice, I don't see why Newt has a problem with him. Then again, we only talked for a moment.

"Woah Greenie can I help you?" Someone asked as I walked into the kitchen. "Wait, you were working with the slicers today weren't you?"

"Yes I was" I said and looked around "where do you want me to put this?" I asked

"I got it. Thanks greenie, names frypan by the way." He said said.

"I'm Annabelle." I said and smiled towards him as he took the box out of my hands.

"Trust me, I know. I heard all about you from little Newtie this mornin at breakfast" he said and I laughed. Newt was talking about me?

"Oh really?" I said and cocked my head to the side.

"Yes really" he said and imitated my action.

"Well I don't believe you" I told him.

"Well you should." He said and stuck out his tongue.

I laughed "do you need help with serving lunch?" I asked him.

"No thanks, but you might need help dealing with Gally after lunch" he said

"He's not that bad. He helped me carry that box from the slicer hut thingy" I said "actually everyone I've meet here is nice."

"They defiantly aren't like that all the time. And don't tell anyone Gally was nice you you, he tends to get under people's skin."

"Thanks for the advice." I said and turned to the door "I'd stay longer but I told newt I'd meet him for lunch"

"Oohh lunch" he said and winked. I just laughed and walked outside the kitchen. Frypan is really chill, he seems like someone you can talk to and never get bored. Then again a lot of people here seem that way, because they are all so different. But so far I have to say the blonde boy with the strange accent heading towards me is my favorite. "Hello Annabelle, how was your morning?" He said me, which brought a smile to my face.
