Authors note:
hey, just letting you know that the perpective of the story is now changing to 'I thought..' instead of 'y/n thought..'
:)

I gasped awake, searching for air. I looked around me and saw that I was in an odd metal cage it was moving upwards fast and it made me feel physically ill. I couldn't remember anything, no name. My name.. whats my name! I looked up and started to see a crack of light and a flashing red and green light with a loud alarm. I was covered in sweat, I was coughing up weird gunk and I felt like I would throw up. Suddenly the cage stopped moving and these huge big doors opened.

"It's a girl?!"
"Dibs!"
"Bloody hell.."
"Alby check it out..!"

I looked up and there were six faces staring at me, I recognised them all but I didn't know why, two people swung open these huge metal gates and a dark skinned boy jumped in. He said, "Hey, you're okay. My names Alby, can you remember anything? Anything at all?" "N-n-no, why.. why can't I remember anything I-" "You're fine, it's happened to all of us. Come on out, it's fine." He offered his hand to me, so I took it. He and another boy with weird eyebrows pulled me out I walked forward a bit and he put his hand on my shoulder and tried to whisper something into my ear, "Hey, you're really ho-" I slapped him around the face which caused him to fall to the ground. I looked around me and saw four huge stone walls, all I could remember feeling was a foot in the stomach then it went dark.

I woke up in this weird hole in the ground with a gate, I still had no idea where I was. Then I realised my head hurt like hell, it was so painful. I must have fallen over and hit my head or something. Suddenly the same guy who pulled me out of the box appeared at the door, "Hey greenie, you're okay. C'mon I'll let you out." he pulled a set of keys out of his pocket and swung open the door. "Listen, I'm gonna show you round and no questions till the end." I nodded and he turned around and started walking, "This is the Glade, I only came up here myself about six months ago, every month we get a new greenie. This month that's you.. congratulations. So-" we were interrupted ted by a tall boy running up to us, "Hey Ben, what's the problem?" Alby said, "Uh yeah Gally has called a meeting with you, he's not very happy." Alby sighed, "Right, greenie you stay here, I'm gonna get someone else to show you around." "Alright.." I said as I sat down. I looked around without moving, it was very quiet until suddenly I heard someone say, "Hey there Greenie, I'm gonna show you around." I looked up and saw a blonde boy looking down at me, I recognized him, I just didn't know where from.

"Oh- uhm okay.." I said as I stood up. "It's nice to meet you, my names Newt. We'll have to walk a bit slower than the normal pace, I uh- had a little accident." I didn't ask what happened but I just agreed and continued walking. "So, as you may or may not know, this is the Glade," God how I loved the way he spoke, he had a different accent to the rest of us I had a y/a (your accent) but he had a british accent. I don't know how I remember accent names but I don't even know my own name. How ironic, "So we sleep here, at the moment on hammocks, but maybe eventually we'll get beds. You see, we only get what the box provides. They send us up enough food for the week and a new greenie once a month. I came up last month, you see. But Alby, he's been here the longest. About five- ish months." Newt stopped at a hammock, "This is yours, the one next to yours is free the one behind yours is mine." He laughed, "You taken it all in yet?" I shook my head, "Yeah thats normal," he smirked, "your name should hopefully come back to you soon enough, but just letting you know everyone's gonna call you greenie till a new one comes up." "Next month." "Ooh so you have been listening. Good girl." he said as he turned away, "I've gotta do something, but don't do anything stupid until I come back." "Sounds good.." I said as I lay down in the uncomfortable hammock and closed my eyes.
