(A/N:I didn't know what pic to put this chapter so I'll bless you with a Whitty Winn, Jojen Reed and Newt pic ;))

The next day I woke up at a more reasonable time. But still too early for my liking.

I got up and had a small breakfast, as usual and started my day. I got my machete and wondered into the woods. I saw I small tree and decided I would start by cutting down that one.

It my small but quite tall, it was around 15 ft off the ground. I started hacking at it. I was strong, which surprised me a lot since anyone could look at my small, skinny body, and think I was weak. But no, I was able to cut down the tree and a couple others to make enough wood to at least make a tent with a blanket or something.

Before I started on that, I went back to my camp and got a snack for lunch. The usual, fruit, sandwich and water.

After lunch I went back over to the mess of wood I had left and started bringing it back to the other side of the Glade, where my small camp was.

Hours later, I finally got all the wood cut into slightly smaller pieces and brought them all to my camp. By then, it was dark, probably 5:30pm meaning, if I was right, the doors were going to close in about 30 minutes.

Sure enough, 30 minutes later they started to close for the night. I decided to walk over and watch them close -bad idea. I got over to the doors as they started to move, and that's when I saw it. The horrible creature I had only ever heard the screams of.

It was hideous, it was a greenish, greyish colour. And had no eyes. Long arms, some of which had different types of weapons at the end. It's body was short and slimy. It looked disgusting. It had a very long tale which made it look like a mutated scorpion or something. Whatever it was, I wanted no part in it.

What the hell is that? I asked myself.

Just then it turned around and spotted me. How? I don't know, like I said, it had no eyes. It started running towards me and yelling at me with that scream that sounded like death. I started running towards the other side of the Glade. I turned back to see the doors closing, right as it was about to get into the glade, the wall stopped it, leaving it on the other side, in the Maze. Thank goodness.

After what I had just seen there was no way in hell I was going back into that place. Even if it was the way out.

I went back to my now made tent, it was small, but I didn't need much, all I needed was shelter. I got myself a bit of food and walked off to my make-shift tent.

Once I got into the tent, I settled down on my blanket, ate and started drifting off into a sleep of nightmares of what I've seen.

The large beast haunted me for the next couple of weeks, always in my dreams or just thinking of it and randomly getting visions of it during the day.

-time skip, a few weeks, a month after coming up in the box-

It has officially been one month since I got sent to the place, I now called home. What else would I call it? I am stuck here after all. 

I had not gone back into the maze, but I did find out that the doors open at 6am every day and close at 6pm every day. Easy enough to remember.

Today was the day that supplies were supposed to come up. Good thing because I was running low on food and fresh water.

In the last month Ive been doing the same thing every day; wake up, watch the doors open (from a far), eat breakfast, shower, cut wood, eat lunch, walk around the Glade, eat supper, sit near the fire I made, and then try my best to sleep. Over and over. Every day, until today.

-Time skip-

It was around the time I usually had lunch when an alarm startled me.

An alarm? What for? I thought.

I walked to my tent and then I saw movement, coming from the box.

Was the alarm to signal a shipment of supplies or something? I guess so.

I ran over as fast as I could to see what was going on. After a while, the doors covering the cage I knew was inside opened, so I opened the cage doors and hoped in. I almost screamed when I saw an older looking boy, with dark skin. He looked up to see me and immediately shuffled into a corner, pulling his knees to his chest.

Well, not what I was expecting in the delivery, but I guess it works.
