She's the first

Part9

It was about an hour after lunch and i was almost finished making the shelves.I just need something sharper than the small blade Gally left me to cut the twine, so I can chop of the excess wood off. I have got to admit that i am very proud of myself. All of the bamboo shoots were used up and there was just a bit of twine left, but I didn't need it. I stood up and pushed the selves slightly to see is it was sturdy, which it was.

I started walking over to Gally to ask him for a knife or something. He was crouched on the floor by a small shack, he looks like his was fixing the door hinges or something. He was balanced on his toes, i had no choice but to shove him to the side with my foot causing him to lose his balance and fall flat on his side. "What the shuck was that for slinthead?" he spoke like he was trying to be angry but he was slightly smirking.

I shrugged at Gally. "I'm done but I need a knife or something to cut some of the wood that is hanging off" i explained. By now he had stood up and was looking down at me. "you will have to wait for Mihno or Newt to get a knife... but there is no way you are done yet." he asked slightly shocked. I nodded with a big grin on my face. "Yup i am, how long will they be?" i asked swaying out of boredom. "only about ten minutes now, they are always the first ones back... now go away and let me Finnish" he said shooing me away chuckling. i rolled my eyes jokingly and walked away...well i skipped. i got a strange look for one of the other builders.

"what?" i asked, it kind of came out harsher than expected. "Gally was nice to you" he said slightly shocked. iI shrugged. "maybe he is just mean to the boys... whats your name?" i asked. "lee" he said smiling. i smiled back, then i heard Gally shout over to him to carry on working. I took that as my clue to walk away to where my sleves are. i lay them on the floor so it would be easier to cut off the spare bits when Newt or Mihno get back. I lay on the floor next to my creation and looked at the sky, the sun was a dark yellow almost orange, it stood out more against the clear blue that surrounded it.

 I don't know how long i was staring aimlessly at the sky for but i was snapped out of my trance by a face appearing in front of mine. It took me a second to realize who it was. It was Newt. His brown eyes crinkled in the corners, a big grin on his face. "what you doing there greenbean?" he asked in his accent that i couldn't pinpoint where it was from. "waiting for you... i need a knife or something and Gally said to ask you or Mihno" i said smiling just as much as Newt. "well come on then" he said standing up and offering me his hand to help me up. I took it, my hand felt warm, he must be hot from all the running. When i stood up i felt to blood rush from my head. My vision went black and i stumbled forwards slightly. i caught myself before i feel but i felt a arm around my waist and my side against something.

My vision cleared to see a worried looking Newt. "you okay there?" he rushed. i nodded still smiling. "just blood rushing" i said about to walk away, i felt something stop me from walking away. Newt still had his arm around me. "umm.. errr sorry"he said letting go and putting his hand at the back of his neck, his face slightly red as he looked at the floor. he shook his head and frowned his eyebrows together. "err.. right, knife. follow me." he spoke as he started walking towards a building just in the woods. Newt hesitated at the door.  "this is the map room, and Mihno would kill me and you if you see anything you are not supposed to so dont take the sheets off the table and dont touch things" i just nodded understanding and followed him inside.

He lead me to trap door in the floor, he lifted it up and looked at me. "are you kidding me? its pitch black down there for all i know you could kill me." i said slightly paniced. Newt laughed and turned around and grabbed a wooden tourch that was adding light to the map room. Newt went down first. "i promise your safe with me" he shouted up. something clicked then, it was like i have know him forever, like he had said that before. But i can't remember... why can't i just remember?
