Aurora knew she recognised the Glade, and she was fucking determined to find out why.

The Greenie alarm blared loudly throughout the Glade, the speaker being deafening from where it was sat on the outside of the Homestead. Aurora lifted her head from where it was resting in the Med-jack hut, being met with a weary look from Alex.
"Why is the alarm so loud?" he grumbled, his eyebrows furrowing together. She laughed, slowly standing up and tucking the chair in, making her way over to the medical bed and tucking the corners in.
"Oh come on," Aurora whined, walking over to Alex and dragging him out of the hut, shutting the door behind her.
They walked arm in arm over to the Box, where the rest of the Gladers surrounded it, being able to make out the back of Minho and Gally's heads who towered over everyone else.
The two made their way over to the front of the Box, the alarm sound fading in the distance. Aurora leaned to the side and rested her head on Minho's arm, him tensing slightly but relaxing after a moment.
"You ready for the Greenie?" Gally asked, glancing to the side to look at Aurora. "Hopefully they're not a scrawny shank like Archie last month."
She snorted, "What so you can fight them?" she asked, shaking her head at him. "And I'm always ready, always will be. I think Alby wants to do with tour with me... I'll ask."
Aurora turned around trying to find Alby and she saw him chatting to Lysander. "ALBY," she yelled, causing him to turn around and look at her. "DO YOU WANT TO HELP ME WITH THE TOUR?"
He nodded. "YEAH, GO ON THEN." he shouted back, making Lysander having to cover his ears with his hands.
Gally shook his head at the two and Minho smiled down at Aurora, as if she was the most beautiful person in the entire world. She turned to face him and smiled back, a graceful blush tainting her cheeks.
The Box made a loud whirring noise, then followed by a click and a thud. It had arrived, crashing slightly against the metal fencing. The Gladers fell silent, listening to the sound of the Box's inhabitant — whimpers and crying being heard within.
Gally and Winston nodded at each other before jumping down and lifting the caged lid of the Box, lighting pouring into it.
"Wanna bet the Greenie is older or younger than you?" Minho quietly asked Aurora, his lips brushing against the shell of her ear.
She shivered and contemplated. "Older," she replied, "I mean I'm not exactly the oldest here am I?"
He nodded, before tracing his hand down her back, stopping at the dip of her spin, his hand resting there momentarily before Aurora moved forward to help the Greenie.
