Chapter Three: Carvings

Enzo's p.o.v

I gave the girl a stern stare as she gave me a hard glare as well. Everyone in the eating hall was quiet waiting for me to speak as their district leader they listen and follow every demand and instruction I gave them.

"How is it possible?" I ask angrily  she did not say anything I could hear a pin drop. I slammed my hands down on the table everyone got a fright even Yehuda my second in command got scared.

"Answer me now or I swear I will put a bullet through your head". I spit. The girl looks up her brown orbs looking into my green eyes. She did not say anything she just looked at me, her hard gaze not flattening.

"Kill her!" Someone shouts everyone seemed to agree as they all hollered and shouted.

"Nova, Crosby take her back to the basement". I command sipping on my water. They pick her up roughly as she just looks at me with furious eyes trying to fight off Crosby and Nova. I look away not falling for her look. Draco said that females were the poison of the world and they had to be exterminated but yet I have not killed her.

Nami's p.o.v

"You're stupid for thinking you could get out of here". Crosby said smugly.

"Shut up". I'm guessing his name was Nova said. As he pushed back his black hair his blue eyes giving Crosby an annoyed look.

"What I'm just saying". Crosby says lifting his hands up in surrender. He opens the metal door again they did not throw me in before searching my pockets until they found the pocket knife in my boot. Nova was the one to close the door giving me a look I could not pin point.

I sat in the cold room feeling defeated I look down at the bracelet fiddling with it. I sigh in frustration pushing my head against the wall as the shackles on my wrists moved making noises as I close my eyes. I never realised I was exhausted until sleep consumed me.

"Wake up sleeping beauty". I heard a rough voice say I open my eyes groaning in the process my head and neck were hurting its not comfortable sleeping on concrete.

I open my eyes to see Crosby holding a tray his blonde hair was tied up into a man bun I could see his face much better he has big green eyes with specks of brown in them.

"Are you gonna keep staring at me?" He questions with irritation in his voice. I look down slightly embarrassed and annoyed at myself.

Crosby rolled his eyes placing the tray down on the dirty floor before going out the room. Once the door was shut I crawled towards the tray and saw runny eggs, bread and water. I took the water drinking it eagerly I was so thirsty I placed the metal cup down after finishing its contents I pushed the tray away from me not feeling hungry.

I got up going to the door I tried opening to see it was locked I kept pulling the metal knob hoping it would open. I started banging my fists as the shackles slapped my wrist I was hoping someone kind enough would open but no one came.

I slid down the door tears wanting to fall out I needed to get out of here or they were going to kill me. I looked down at my bracelet tracing my finger over the carving of a female lion. I remember the time when my sister carved the bracelet.

I was throwing stones in the river trying to figure out how to skip them. I looked to one side Sasha was sitting down on a big rock near the river bank carving some wood. She was talented with carving wood I could never do it.

I jogged to her sitting next to her on the rock

"What are you making?" I question wanting to know what she was carving.

"Give me a minute". She whispers blowing on the wood. She turned to me smiling showing me what she made it was a bracelet with a carving of a lioness.

"Wow". I gasp

"Yeah I know". Sasha mumbled looking up at the mountains that decorated our view.

"Who did you carve it for?" I ask handing the bracelet back to her.

"For myself ,I want to be strong like a female lion so why not carve a female lion to make you feel powerful". She says closing her pocket knife.

"You're already powerful and strong Sasha". I mumble looking down. I felt a hand on my shoulder I looked up to see Sasha smiling at me with tears wanting to fall out her eyes.

"Thank you Nami you are also powerful and strong". Sasha said kissing me on the cheek.

I didn't realise that someone was in the room I look up and saw Birch standing at the door nervously the minute we made eye contact I narrowed my eyes at him he seemed a bit uncomfortable but I did not care.

"Enzo wants you". Birch mumbles I get up slowly following him out of the room. The walk with Birch was very quiet and awkward because I did not stop looking at him.

"Why did you do that? "I ask my eyes becoming slits as he looks up at me. He knew exactly what I was talking about because he opened his mouth and closed it's again not knowing what to say.

"I'm sorry". He whispers I wanted to snap at him but kept my composure. We got to a door Birch knocked on it and someone allowed us in. Birch opened the door allowing me to go in first I saw Enzo and the Asian guy standing in the room I looked around it was a interrogation room I figured this out because it had a metal table and chair.

Birch pushed me forward to walk closer both males in the room had a very dominant aura I was a bit intimidated I won't lie but I was not going to let that scare me. 

I sit down on the cold metal chair still looking up at them not breaking eye contact with them.

"You can leave now Birch". The Asian guy spoke up in a commanding voice still looking at me.

"Okay Yehuda". Birch spoke shyly closing the door behind him so his name was Yehuda? What's with these guys and their unusual names?

I could hear a pin drop in the room it was so tense in the room my breathing was so fast.

Enzo's p.o.v

I was the first one to break the silence in the tense room.

"How is it possible that you are alive?" I ask the girl as he looked down from me and Yehuda's gaze.

She kept quiet not answering us. I looked at Yehuda for help not knowing what to do.

"What is your name?" I ask again hoping to get information out of her so I can send it to the the Quarters if I give valuable information like this to the Quarters I will for sure be head of Quarters.

"Why do you care you will just kill me in the end". The girl speaks up she had a thick accent I'm guessing she is from an African country.

She looked up at me with her brown orbs she held an intense gaze, which held determination and confidence.

"Who said we would kill you?" Yehuda spoke up crossing his arms over his buff chest. The girl looked up at him her dreadlocks falling in front of her face she pushed them away with her shackled hands.

"Cause I'm the only girl in the world". She says like it was obvious. Yehuda uncrossed his arms placing his knuckles on the table moving his head closer to hers and whispered in her face.

"How would you know?" He asks with a smirk plastered on his face. The girl did not seem fazed by the close proximity she kept her face neutral.

"You males have to much pride if you didn't kill me you would be seen as weak but at the same time you wouldn't want to kill me cause you would want to send me to the Quarters leaving the other males here to rot". She spoke up a smirk now plastered on her face.

Me and Yehuda looked like fishes underwater but quickly replaced our faces with glares how would she know about the Quarters. She answered my question like she could read my mind.

"I'm good at getting information and I'm also a good observe".

"Let's make a deal you tell us how you're still alive and we won't kill you, deal?" Yehuda said.

"What if I don't believe you?" The girl questions with a risen eye brow. Yehuda chuckled moving closer to her.

"Well if you didn't your corpse would have been rotting six feet underground". Yehuda said. The girl looked taken back she clicked her tongue looking up at me and at Yehuda this is why Yehuda was my second in command he was good at manipulating people to giving him what he wanted.

"So let's start of with your name shall we". I spoke up. She looked around the room before whispering.

"Nami".

"What?" Me and Yehuda asked. She groaned in frustration.

"My name is Nami, you happy now?". She spoke up rocking her chair with a neutral face.

"How did you survive Nami?" I ask ,as her name slipped through my lips. She huffed still rocking her chair.

"I don't know?" She says still rocking in the chair as the legs squeaked.

"You have to know, how can you not?" I ask annoyed. Yehuda placed a hand on my shoulder indicating that I should calm down.

"Sorry". I whisper closing my eyes to calm myself down.

"I got lucky and survived". She stated, me and Yehuda looked at her wanting her to continue.

She sighed placing her hands on the metal table.

 "And they never found me." She finished off still rocking on the hair coolly. 

"How did you get here? I ask her trying to read her. She stops rocking her chair looking and me coolly.

"Why do you want to know this?" She asks. I was about to argue with her but she beat me to it.

"You already know what happened, you already know what you did and what happened to female you will hear the same fate that was held by women but I was lucky, okay." She finished off.

This girl was difficult we had to break her some how I give her one more glare before walking out the interrogation room, I was not going down without a fight.
