----------------------------------------

White.... That's all she sees. Just....white. White floor, white walls, white ceiling, white bed sheets.

Kayla picks herself up into a sitting position on the soft, comfortable mattress. She is wearing a white hospital gown tied in the back. Her hair is down and straight, clean and soft. It smells of regular soap and fresh water. Kayla feels very clean as well, as if she had just been power-washed twenty times.

She swings her legs over to the left, pulling her body out from under the light sheets. Kayla stands up, feeling the cold, white floor under her bare feet. She exhales softly and slowly walks over to the wall. The room is cubical, with four corners and nothing but a bed, with a ceiling about five feet from the top of her head.

Placing a soft hand on the wall, Kayla lightly brushes around, looking for some sort of trap door.

Nothing happens, and confusion pricks at her mind. 

She stands there for a few minutes, just staring at the white walls. The lack of imperfection and the deadly silence unsettles the moment.

Suddenly, someone bursts through a door. It appears to have just risen from thin air. A man with a face that looks like a rat is wearing a white lab coat and holding a clipboard tucked against his chest in his left hand. In his right he holds a syringe-

With a movement of his arm and a yelp from Kayla, she's lying on the ground with a small bead of blood forming from where the needle came in contact with her bicep.

-------

Kayla sits up with a start, gasping and her chest rising and falling greatly.

She is sweating and her hair sticks to her face in an uncomfortable manor. 

Kayla blinks rapidly and turns her head to the right, seeing a very surprised looking Gally staring at her.

"Uh...."

"Sorry....bad dream."

She looks down at what she's wearing, hoping to shuck she's not naked.

Good. She's still wearing her sweater and jeans from yesterday.

Kayla swallows and rolls out of her hammock, slightly stumbling to the ground. Gally jumps forward.

"Oh, here-"

He helps her up and their eyes lock a gaze. Kayla narrows hers.

"Since when are you nice to me."

Slight hurt passes through his face and then a heavy blush follows.

"Well, you were um...struggling...so I just thought that-"

She yanks her arm away and scowls slightly.

"Whatever."

Gally lowers his gaze awkwardly.

"Want some breakfast? It's about 7:30 and Frypan just called everyone."

Kayla looks over his shoulder at the Food Shack and sees many Gladers grabbing eggs from the cooks.

"Where's Newt?"

"Um....he's at breakfast.."

She grabs his wrist.

"Come on...new friend." The last words come out awkwardly and Gally chuckles then blushes.

Kayla pulls him to walk over there until he walks next to her, and they reach the picnic tables. Newt is sitting with Minho, Chuck, and a few other Gladers.

"Hey."

Newt looks up from his breakfast and smirks.

"Hey."

Minho and Chuck motion hello with their heads as they continue to eat, Minho smiling slightly.

Newt looks from Kayla to Gally and then anger swarms his gaze, though he doesn't move.

He pats the space next to him.

"Come on, sit."

Kayla looks over to the Food Shack.

"Oh, well I was just gonna go get some-"

"I got it."

Gally pipes in, raising a hand slightly as if calling the order.

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's no biggy. I need food as well, so.."

Kayla nods lightly.

"Okay..."

She turns back to Newt and smiles, sitting down cross legged on the bench. He takes another bite out of his fried egg.

Chuck raises his eyebrows.

"So... you too are a thing now?"

Kayla rolls her eyes.

"Oh, shut up..."

Newt smirks again.

"You're embarrassed bein' with a bampot like me aren't you."

The three give him confused looks and he looks up from eating.

"What."

"What the shuck is a bampot?" Asks Minho.

"Oh uh...I guess it's like an idiot...but clumsy as well."

Minho laughs.

"Yep. A clumsy idiot. That's you all right."

Newt scowls.

"Shut it, shank."

Gally returns with her breakfast and sets it on the table. He sits down across from her, next to Chuck, and starts to eat.

She looks down at the eggs on her plate.

"You didn't poison this...did you."

Gally looks up.

"Huh? No, why the shuck would I do something like that..."

Kayla shrugs and then starts eating. 

Gally speaks again.

"Oh..yeah, Kayla?"

She looks to him.

"Yeah?"

"What was that bad dream about?"

Silence fills the table and everyone turns to her.

She can feel herself blush and she swallows nervously.

Newt raises an eyebrow.

"Bad dream?"

"Grievers. It-... it was about grievers."

The lie earns her some suspicious glances, though soon everyone continues eating.

What was that even about....none of it makes any sense. Is that where I lived before? In that cage?
