"CLANG," a large metallic sound erupts over my head and I start moving upward. I feel around trying to calm myself. My fingers slip through what feels like a metal grate below me and surrounding me on the sides worn from time. It feels almost as if I'm in a cage. Like one of the those old coal miner elevators. I try to think of where I've seen one... but than it hits me. I can't remember. My mind is empty. I can't remember anything but my name.

"My name is Y/N," I mutter over and over to myself trying to calm my nerves. I'm in the elevator cage for what seems like an eternity until it starts to head full speed towards the top. It is blinking with red caution signs. I let out a scream and suddenly it stops and I get thrown back harder into the back of the corner of the cage I was curled up in. The top of the elevator shaft opens to reveal a strong sun. I shield my eyes with my hand and suddenly I hear a symphony of gasps and mutter coming from above me.

"It's a girl!" One person says.

"Oh really, I haven't noticed shank!" one retorts harshly.

"Oh yeah well I just wanted to reaper for the people in the back, the first calls defensively. I then hear the sound of a body hitting the ground and a quick "oh your dead" before a deep strict voice says,

"Shut your traps or I will PERSONALLY be happy to throw both you slint heads off the cliff!" It goes quiet except for a few small 'yes Albys'.

"Now get her out of there, and argue amongst yourself who gives her the tour," I hear boots walk away but not for long because everyone above me started to clamor above me using foreign words like 'shank', 'klunk', 'slint head', 'shuck'. Suddenly the top of the cage opens and a large boy jumps down into the box and walks over to me until he is standing right over me.

"Well greenie, can't spend your whole first day in the shucking box," he says through a smirk. He puts his hand out and I attempt to move back more but I can't without somehow squeezing through the holes in the grated cage and falling right back down that 'shaft of doom' which I have now named the shaft I came up in. The boy throws his head back with a thundering laugh, "LOOK AT THE GREENIE!!" He points at me "SHE'S PRACTICALLY PUSHING HERSELF THROUGH THE BOX!""

"I would too, if your shuck face was the first thing I saw after the box," says a boy from above through a giggle. The whole crowd bursts into laughter. The boy standing over me lifts his fist as if he was going to jump out of the box and punch him straight in the nose.

"Shut your trap, shank!" He yells up at him.

"Cool it Gally and get her out, she has had a rough go of it already and she's not even out of the bloody box yet." I hear a boy with a thick accent call from above. Gally (that's the boys name apparently) made a face at the boy with the accent and lowered his hand to me. I don't move only look at him.

"C'mon, I'm not going to wait here all day princess, in case you haven't realized, you're not the only thing in here. We gotta get you out before we get the supplies, that we actually need, out of this shuck thing," he says in a annoyed tone. I take his hand. It's so rough and covered with dirt. He yanks me up to my feet and gets down on one knee, his hands weaved together palms up, on his knee.

"Oh well gee, I only just met ya," I say sarcastically placing both hands over my heart in dramatic way. An eruption on laughter and catcalls come from above.

"Ouch get rejected Romeo"

"told you she wouldn't like you gally!"

"Don't worry gally she's only the only girl here," another shouts. That gets my attention. Before I can think too much I notice Gally turn redder than a pepper and stand up. He walks over, towering over me he yells,

"Listen greenie, I'm not here to propose, I'm here to get your ass out of this damn box. But if you want to stay in here and starve. BE. MY. SHUCKING. GUEST." He says as he aggressively point his finger against my forehead causing me to stumble backwards a few steps.

"GALLY JUST GET HER OUT OF THE BUGGING BOX," the boy with the accent yells clearly aggravated. Gally draws a deep inhale and resumes his position on one knee. I see two boys reach down their arms and I understood quickly what they where trying to do.

"You just have to ste-," Gally begins.

"I know" I say looking down at him one foot already in his hand on his knee. Gally huffs and launches me up. Between him throwing me up and the two boys pulling my arm up I went flying. One of the boys yelped and pulled my arm down causing my body to hurtle towards the ground. I landed hard and fast, I rolled once to try to break my fall.

Once I open my eyes I see shoes. All kinds, all sizes, all caked with dirt surrounding me. I look up to see a circle of excited faces looking down at me. I search the crowd for a girl but to no avail.

"Dibs" one boy yells.

"NO I ALREADY DID," another shouts angrily.

"She wouldn't even like your ugly shuck faces anyway, give it up!"

"Like she would like yours?!?"

They start to close in and I try to back up but I knock into a pair of legs. They move in closer and closer until the light at the top of their heads starts to grow smaller and smaller. I look up, startled and anxious hoping someone will jump in and tell them to stop. Suddenly a strong, harsh voice breaks the crowd.

"IF YOU ALL DON'T BACK THE BLOODY HELL UP RIGHT NOW I WILL HAPPILY FEED YOU ALL TO THE GRIEVERS!!" It's the boy with the accent. The crowd goes silent and they all spread out and create a small opening, when a tall, blonde boy steps into the path looking at the boys around him with a stern look on his face.

"Now let the woman breathe, she is a human not a piece of meat. You can't just call dibs on her!" He says while shaking his heads at the crowd around him. None of them meeting his gaze. They all stared at their shoes and took a few more steps back. He then looks down at me and his eyes immediately soften and a small smile creeps across his face. He walks up to me and crouches next to where I sit, and I relax.

"The name's Newt," he says in a friendly manner as he extends his hand. "Second in command here in the glade." He looks around as he says the last part. He then looks back at me and his brown eyes peer into mine. His eyes are so so pure and hazel. So kind and sweet.

"Do you remember yours?"

"Oh yeah, Y/N" I say, slipping my hand into his.

"Hm," he says cocking his head to the side a bit with a smile. "Lovely name for a lovely lady," he says through a grin. I blush and look at the ground.

"Oh get a room" one boy yells, disgusted and with a tinge of jealously laced in his voice.

"I'll get you a room with a griever if you don't shut your bloody mouth, Zart!" He yells back ,still holding my hand. It goes silent again and he looks back at me and rises to his feet. He also pulls me up gently.

"I," he says loudly and facing back towards the now tight-knit group of boys, "will be giving the greenie the tour today because clearly you all can't bloody control yourselves," he says as he turns his back to me and lightly pulls my hand forward. He then turns around to mesmerize me with those brown eyes again and asks, "Shall we?"
