{third person POV}


The young girl woke up in a box. The flashing lights and loud noise immediately made her feel unsafe. She couldn't remember anything, much like the people she was about to meet. Her small hands flew up to her ears, as if to protect her from the noise. Suddenly, the box jerked to a stop, and the girl almost flew forward. She heard another noise and looked up, the box was opening! The girl pushed herself up, holding onto something the whole time. The box had fully opened and soon something, or someone, was running over and blocking her view of the sun.

"Its a child. A girl..." a voice came from one of the boys.

The girl was scared now, she didn't know what to do and she couldn't protect herself. One of the boys jumped down from above her.

"Why are you here?" his voice sounded funny, like he was from somewhere else.

The girl felt safe around him, but she didn't know why.

"I-I don't know. I want my mommy, please, I didn't do anything!"

Now, tears fell down her cheeks as she pleaded with the boy, who looked very confused. He ran a hand through his blond hair and looked to the other boys for help.

"Hey, kid, look. My name's Newt, funny name right?"

The girl looked up at him, tears still running down her cheeks and nodded, trying her best to smile. The boy crouched down to her height.

"Well, your name will come to you in a few days. I know everything seems scary right now but we, or if you prefer, I will tell you everything you need to know. These other guys won't bother you, you can stay with me, okay?"

The girl nodded and showed Newt was she had been holding. A teddy bear, with a name tag, Sammy. There was another piece of paper on Sammy though. Newt took it and read it to the group of boys.

"PROTECT. Now what the hell does that mean?"

He looked back to the girl who shrugged her shoulders.

Newt helped the girl out of the box, then helped take the other things out of the box. Newt jumped back out of the box and walked over to the young girl.

"So, Greenie #2, are you ready to work?"

"Work?"

Newt nodded and motioned for the girl to follow him, and she did.

After she started working with Newt in the gardens, he started explaining the Glade and the Maze. It was kind of hard for her to keep up, especially because Newt had that weird thing with his voice but she understood, kind of.

"Newt!", she heard from across the Glade.

Both Newt and the girl turned their heads to see where the voice had come from. At this point she was used to how many boys were in the Glade, even if some of them didn't like her. It was another boy, but he looked so familiar to the girl and she didn't know why.

"Oh hey who's this?" The new boy asked as he kneeled down to her level.

"This, is Greenie #2, she hasn't got her name yet..." Newt looked cautiously between the two.

"Well, hi, I also don't remember my name yet...", Thomas smiled at the girl.

She knew that she would like him.

"I hope Newt hasn't told you anything insane", Thomas laughed.

The girl started to giggle at the same time, pulling Sammy in front of her face to cover her smile, to which Thomas reached out to pull Sammy back away. Since the girl was very protective of Sammy, she instantly stopped smiling and stepped away from Thomas and closer to Newt.
