The boy that arrived a couple of minutes later was a tall and muscular blond boy about maybe seventeen years. He looked the girl up and down, then raised an eyebrow at Newt: “From unconscious to standing outside in barely two minutes – I'm impressed. Thanks for calling me instantly.” He glowered at the other boy and scuffed: “Now get on with your…”, he interrupted himself as his eyes fell on a grimy bandage covering Newt's left calf and shin. “Time for her Tour. No need for you to stick around.”
And with that, Newt was dismissed. The girl watched him as he limped away.
Snapping fingers appeared just in front of her eyes.
“Hey, attention! No time for daydreamin'.”
She blinked and focused on the boy in front of her.
“First things…

Newt had taken some time to examine her. He had not much else to do. Though there had never been a girl in the Glade before, most of the boys had lost their interest on first sight. She was small and thin, with boyish slim hips and breasts not worth mentioning. A cloud of copper curls framed a pointy pale freckled face. But nothing of all this had hit him as much as the glare from her storm-grey eyes. She looked like a pixie, though not necessarily a nice one.
Admittedly her legs were wobbly, and it took all the willpower she could muster to cross the small hut.
“Hey! Don't touch me!”, the girl snapped, as Newt took her elbow.
“I only meant to support you”, Newt defended himself. “I just… was being friendly!”
“And are you friendly …

Some sensation is coming back. Some movement again. Too much. Stop it. Back to the darkness.
When she emerged from the depths of unconsciousness first thing she heard this dialogue:
“What's this?!”
“A girl. Never seen one before?”
“Ha Ha. She new up here. Since when do they send girls? Why bruised all over? What has happened?”
“Search me. Can you do something for her?”
“Not much right now. I'd just leave her to wake up on her own, and then we'll see what needs to be done.”
Thank goodness for so much wisdom. She opened her eyes. Sunlight was filtering through numerous crevices in the wooden shack she had been brought to. And she was lying on something softer than the floor. That was one big improvement. Another one was the fact that the pain was l…

1.) Kat: Going Wrong
She woke up in terror. And in darkness. And in pain. She stirred, but immediately decided to keep laying stock still as a wave of agony roared through her body. Fighting the rising panic she tried to start small, with a hand perhaps. One hand was o… Well, not okay, not as such, but at least bearable.
She could sense a movement, sort of – speeding upward. Where am I? This is the usual thought when someone wakes up, usually not even conscious, as the surroundings are just what they are supposed to be. But here and now it triggered fear and panic. What is this place? How did I come here? I can't remember… Just as she realized this the motion stopped, and her prison came to such an abrupt halt that she was tossed up in the air a…
Newts POV in TDC Day 8
My group has settled on a deserted highway. Some cars driving madly in circles, people fighting over the trash they've found. That's my shuck life now. It sucks no end.
There. A van comes highspeed along the highway, collides with one car and crashes into the wall. Mebbe can get a closer look…
It's Tommy. Of all people roaming this shuck world it's Tommy.
That b*st*rd! What does he get out of the car for? Do I remember him? Sorry? Yeah, I bloody remember you, Tommy. You just came to see me at the Palace, rubbed it in that you ignored my note.
How have I been crazy and now I seem calm? It comes and goes, man. I can't explain it. My head twitches. I can feel the wrath boiling up inside, consuming all other thoughts and feelings.
Now he starts tal…
