dwindling snow (the maze runner)

chapter 1: my arrival

The note was there, lying carefully placed in my hand. I looked around and felt like I was being tossed around by a gigantic force. Do you know the feeling you get inside your tummy, when you finally ride that rollercoaster that you've been to anxious to ride in the first place and you feel like you are being punched in your stomach? well that is exactly what I am feeling. I feel a cold breeze blow trough my very thin purple shirt, my black cargo pants are smudged with what appears to be dirt. I look around and squirt my eyes to adjust them to the dark, at first I can't see anything and I 100% rely on my touch, as I feel around the place where I am lying I feel a hard metal cage as I try to stand up I touch something that feels like wood. I quickly pull my hand away, as my eyes start to adjust to the darkness I see that is some kind of crate I carefully open it and I hear soft breathing. The dare devil in me immediately pulled away the cloth that was hiding the mysterious object. I feel like someone put their hands trough my mouth and pulled all the air out of my lungs. It is a pig! 

Once I calmed down I notice that the metal cage is starting to move faster. I thightly grip on the walls as the sky approaches me, but is doesn't slow down! it feel like the cage will fly through the sky and end god knows where.... I start to hear an alarm and cover my ears quickly. suddenly the sky appears and the cage is filled with light. I get really anxious and scream out loud. "someone, anyone please! help me!" suddenly the cage stops. I look around and I hear muffled footsteps. my fight or flight response immdiately kicks in as I search something to defend myself with, of course all I can find is a wooden stick which seems to have some letter carved into it, it don't really pay attention to it. As the footsteps are getting closer I get really scared, but I won't show any signs of weakness because I will never know what I am about to face. suddenly the sun is blocked and I see a variation of heads, some blonde, brown or black they don't seem very old they seem young adults. As I look up I get startled by someone who decided to jump in the cage with me. I lower my wooden stick and notice the boy, he has dirty blond hair, he is tall around 6 feet and very handsome. "put down the stick will ya? we don't want our greenie to get hurt on our first day now will we?" I shake my head. "Everything will be fine" the boy tells me and offers me a hand. I hesitantly take it and he rubs my hand with his thumb. " we are going to pull you out now, okay? Boys! lower the rope" As I take the rope I am quickly carried out of the metal cage and into a weird place. 

Everywhere on the wall there is some sort of Ivy, the ground is filled my green grass and there even appears to be some sort of a community to be build here. I look around and I already feel everyone staring at me. The boy who got in the cage with me yells that everyone should do their bloody jobs and quit staring at the newbie. The boys quickly walk away and I feel much more comfortable around this new boy. I quickly stop staring at him as someone takes my shoulder and makes me face them. "hey there greenie, my name is Alby. Welcome to the glade" says the dark-skinned boy with short-cropped hair and face clean-shaven. He also had a permanent scowl on his face. " the glade? what is the glade?" I ask. " well newbie I think you will find out soon enough says the blond brit who put his hands from behind on my shoulders. Damn these boys be havin' a shoulder fetish. "My name is Newt" he says. "Can you remember you name?" says ally as he fold his arms over his chest. Newt his hands still resting on my shoulders, I almost get distracted from the comfortable heath radiating through my body. "I- I can't remember anything.... Why can't I remember anything?" I start to freak out a little. Newt stands next to alby and calms me down by saying that in a couple off days I will remember my name. 

"where are we? and why are we brought here?" I ask as the two boys are carefully picking out their words to not freak me out even more. Alby is the first one to speak up. " We don't know either, we only remember waking up in the box" while he points at the box he continuous his story " not remembering our name, story, family anything" he sighs deep " Each month a new greenie is send up here, this month that's you" I try to take everything in and take a deep breath as I want to open my mouth and bombard them with questions, Newt quickly says " Tomorrow when I will show you around, you can ask me anything you wan to know" he sends me a sweet smile, but for now we have something important!" he says. " what is it?" I ask. " well, we have to give a welcoming party for our new newbie" with no warning the two boys turn around and start walking, leaving me completly flabbergasted and shocked. "Are you coming pretty lady" Newt says. I blush and quickly follow them.
