A.N. Hey there everyone. This is a story of mine that I wrote many years ago when I first read The Maze Runner books. I do not own all the characters or the main storyline, but I did create a few characters to make the story more personalised. I hope you will enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. 

     I woke up. I looked around. I was inside a box, more like a lift that was heading up. I had no idea where it would take me. I could not remember anything. Not even my own name.

     The box started going faster and then it suddenly stopped sending me on the floor. For a few moments nothing happened. I was stuck in there. Then somebody opened the lid, the sunlight blinding me. I could hear the voice of men talking but I could barely see anything or anyone. One of the silhouettes jumped in next to me. "This.... This is a girl!" said he. I had no idea what was going on. What was so surprising about me being a girl? Then as my vision started to clear as my eyes got used to the light I could finally look around. I was surrounded by many many boys. They were all looking at me shouting. "Newt take her out of there" and with this the boy in the box grabbed my arm and started dragging me out. As I was about to get onto my feet my vision blurred again and everything went black.

     After a while I woke up. I was laying on a 'hospital' bed in a dark building. Once again I had no idea where I was. A strange boy walked into the room hearing my moving and then he ran outside shouting "Hey, Newt, Alby... The girl is awake" The two new guys walked inside looking extremely happy to see me awake. The boy with the name of Newt had a different smile. It was so heart warming. It made me feel safe. "So Clint, when will the greenie be able to start working?" asked Alby. "Well if she can get on her feet today then she can surely start tomorrow" answered Clint with a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "Where am I?" I asked looking and feeling confused. "Greenie, welcome to the Glade." said Alby. I was still confused. Who the hell was Greenie and what is the Glade? After a few moments of hesitation I asked "Who is Greenie?". All three boys started smiling and Alby once again started speaking " Well, that would be you, unless you remember your name". Without hesitation I asked him one more thing "How long has it been since I arrived here?". For the first time since I met the three boys Newt finally spoke "Just a few hours"

     Newt was extremely handsome. Or should I say rather cute. He had dirty blonde hair that was quite messy. He wasn't very tall but he was still much taller then I was. And he had these chocolate brown eyes that were so full of life. I snapped out of my daydream when Alby started talking... again. "Can you stand up Greenie?" I just stood up being careful and started walking around the room. While I was trying to get used to walking again I could see Newt turning to Alby "Can I show her around?" he asked. Alby just shrugged and said goodbye telling us we will meet at the bonfire. "Come on Greenie" said Newt walking out the door.

     As I got outside I was a bit shocked. The clearing we were in was surrounded by huge walls. Newt saw my surprised face so he decided to start explaining "Out there is the maze, in here this is what we call the Glade. The runners, who are mapping the maze should be arriving soon. Let's go and welcome them" and with this we started walking towards the 'gate' leading into the maze. Two boys were running towards us. "This is Minho, and this is Gally" said Newt while introducing me to the boys. "Are they the runners?" asked. "Exactly, and they are the only ones who are allowed inside the maze" explained Newt and the two boys also welcomed me.

     We walked around the Glade, Newt showing me all the areas I could be working in. After a while we arrived in front of a bigger tent. "This is where you will be sleeping. Go inside, get changed and then meet me at the bonfire" said Newt and then he walked away. I walked inside to see a small bed and a little bedside table. On top of the bed I found a light pink long sleeved top made out of a very thin material, black skinny jeans and a pair of brown boots. I got changed, put my hair in a ponytail and started walking towards the middle of the Glade. I saw that everybody was already waiting so I started running. I was not paying attention and tripped in a branch of tree that was on the ground. I fell hitting my head slightly. I stood up feeling very clumsy and embarrassed but then I remembered something. My name. It just came to me. I arrived to the bonfire and saw that the guys did not observe my clumsy fall. I felt relieved. They were all looking at me so I decided it was time to tell them. "(Y/N)! My name is (Y/N)"
