Chapter three

My eyes fling open and i jump up screaming. I quickly cover my mouth and feel tears falling from my face. Shit. Jadiel suddenly is in front of me his hands on my shoulders.
“Elena??? Are you okay?” he says with a worried face.
“Yeah.. just a bad dream,” i sniffle.
He wraps his arms around me, my breast against his chest.
“What was it about?” he asks curiously.
“Something in the past..” i mumble.
“You have memories??” he exclaims his eyes wide.
I glare at him evilly.
“They aren’t good memories so don’t be so surprised jerk,” i growl through my teeth.
His facial expressions change from excitement to alarmed.
“Jeez calm yourself, no one has had any memory here,” he says with a small growl back.
His cheek bones stick of from his smooth looking cheeks.
They don’t have any memories?
“Well i do have some but i don’t know much Jadiel, its.. messy i guess. I don’t remember lots of the detail,” i scoff rolling my eyes in frustration.
“What memories,” he says in a serious tone.
Seriously? Is he asking my personal information?
“Okay let’s get this straight. I don’t know you that well and i dont need to tell you my personal shit,” i glare.
Does he seriously think I’m just going to tell him because hes one of those stuck up pretty boys?? Cause i aint!!! I start storming out of the room but he suddenly grabs hold of my waist pulling me towards him.
“Elena let me explain, please,” he says no letting go of me.
I push away immediately and sit on his bed. He sits down next to me and stares at me waiting for an answer.
“Go on then,” i sigh.
“I was the first one here, to come out of that ‘Box’ you were in. It’s dangerous when you head further out Elena. We dont know how to escape. We dont know anything about our past or how we got here.  Lots of people have died risking there lives, that’s why there is no more going out into the boundaries,” he frowns.
He looks so.. upset.. I can tell this guy has been through a lot. I place a hand on his.
“Hey we will figure this out. We won’t be stuck here forever.”
He stares at me.
“How Elena?”
“We are going to fight and get out of this shithole. I’ll even risk my life for it. We can’t just give up Jadiel.”
He smiles and nods weakly.
“And trust me my dream is definitely nothing that can help us,” i frown.
He gets up holding his hand out to help me out. I laugh.
“I don’t need you’re hand boy,” i giggle.
He smiles.
“Come on I’ll show you around.”
I hop up following him outside. The bon fire was now out but you can still feel its warmth spreading around the area. The smokes remains burn my eyes and make me gag.
“Are you okay?” Jadiel asks with a worried look.
“Yeah, I’ll live.”
I glance over at a person  Sitting on the half dead grass that has dried up soil. He has his hands on his head and his eyes closed rocking himself. Seems like hes going crazy. I Stiffen up and head towards him, plopping  myself onto the ground next to him. His hands big are wrinkly, his face pale and a little chubby but barely. You could just see his cheekbones sticking out. His hair is a light orange but tiny streaks of red dispersed through it.
“Hey new girl,” he smiles.
He’s got some charm.
“You alright? Seem a little over edge.”
He stares at me his eyes filled with tears, anger, fear and death. I gulp.
“We are all going to die here. There isn’t enough water. Someone has to go out there and get water and food otherwise we won’t survive for much longer,” he replies under his breath.
My heart stops for a second. Is it really that dangerous out there? I’m even more curious now. I need to know if we stand a chance out there.
“I’ll get some water you guys just got to try and tell me where shit is so i wont get lost out there,” i breathe jumping up with two feet them landing on them.
He gets up, the look on his face is priceless and confused.
“Hey, its dangerous out there. We won’t allow you to go out there and kill yourself,” hey says with his thick eyebrows narrowed and in shock.
“Oh you will,” i laugh.
“He won’t allow it Elena, don’t go out there and kill yourself girl, don’t be crazy,” his voice trembling now with fear.
These people have been living in fear for so long. They can’t suffer like this, they dont deserve this. Jadiel and Liam appear beside us.
“Whats going on?” they ask.
“Im going out there, show me how to get out.”
There faces drop.
“No, the rules are to not leave the boundaries. It’s too much of a risk,” Jadiel says.
“We dont want anyone hurt or risking their lives anymore,” Liam frowns.
“You are going to die anyway. Starvation. Dehydration. Stress. People will go mental. This place is a shithole! Common sense guys everyone is going to die if you sit you’re fat asses down and do nothing!! You’s should be out there looking for the way out. This isn’t even a life. Yes people may die and I’m not saying thats good or anything, but you guys can’t stay here forever,” i snap.
We stand in silence. They stare at me speechless.
“Well im not fucking wasting time in here!” i yell.
Everyone was suddenly out of their shelters.
“You’s wanna fucking stay here and rot, starve, dehydrate and die here too?!” i shout anger filling my body.
There so stupid. Just unbelievably dumb as fuck.
“I don’t,” i brown tall good looking guy says.
I smile.
“Finally someone has some common sense.”
He walks towards me.
“Are you going out there?” he asks his lips straight and perfectly shaped.
“Yes,” i say grabbing the knife that was sitting on a small rock.
“Im coming too,” he demands.
I nod.
Everyone starts murmuring.
“I want to come!” a couple of voices shout.
I take a breath.
“Just a few people this round. We dont want everyone dying. I know i may not know what’s out there, some of you may not, but we can’t all go.”
I turn over to the brown man.
“You know how to defend yourself,” i ask in a serious tone.
“Yeah wanna test?” he smirks.
I glare at him.
“Gear up, we are leaving in ten,” i say holding back from punching him in the face.
A few people pop beside me. There faces feared, and brave.
“We will pray for you guy,” they smile weakly.
I smile back.
“Thank you.”
“I’m coming too,” a voices suddenly says beside me.
Jadiel. I smile.
“Okay, we will need extra hands anyway,” i add.
“Hey Elena! Come over here!” a familiar voice shouts.
I look over and see a brow man waving over to me. It’s weird how all these random dudes know my name.
I jog over to him.
“Jadiel is coming as well,” i say.
His singlet showed the outline of his muscular body. He looks more bulky then Jadiel.
“Sure thing.”
He stares at me.
“Hey you alright? You look awfully pale all of the sudden,” he says moving closer to me.
I glance down at my hand. My hand is deathly pale. My head all of the sudden spins. I look around, everything fading to grey. My head speeds up so fast it almost hurts. I slowly walk but i feel like a ribbon slowly falling to the ground. He quickly grabs onto me, stopping me from falling.
“Hey it okay slow down.”
He slowly sits me down on the ground lettig me lean on his shoulder.
“Sorry, i just dont feel to good,” i breathe holding my head.
“You need to eat, looks like you haven’t eaten in days,” he says in a serious voice.
“I haven’t,” i groan.
“How do you know? You only been here for a day?” he asks.
I sigh.
“I got some memories,” i reply.
He stops. Speechless.
“You do..?” he says slowly.
“Yeah do you?” i curiously ask.
“Yeah a fare bit,” he whispers.
I smile.
“Are they good?”
He smile back at me.
“Alot of them.”
He places a hand on my stomach. My heart races vividly and i quickly shove his hand away moving away from him.
“D- dont touch me.. please..” i nervously say.
I’m scared of people touching me. Especially since i remembered some of my memories..
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you, here’s some food,” he says.
He hands me a small plate of something that looked like chicken. I take it slowly, staring at him. I place a small amount in my mouth and taste it’s sweet warmness. I glance over to him to see him watching me.
“What?”
He smiles.
“Sorry just you look cute the way you eat,” he smirks slightly.
I blush lightly and keep eating. I finish around half of it and find it hard to keep eating.
“Hey um can you please eat the rest, im not hungry anymore,” i nervously frown.
“Call me Luis,” he says taking my plate.
“I’ll save it for you later,” he continues getting up.
He holds out a hand. I grip my hand into his and he lifts me up.
“You got a good grip,” we both say at the same time.
We both laugh.
“Hey you guys ready to head out?” Jadiel says suddenly appearing beside us.
We both nod.
