I awoke inside a metal box that was carrying me up at a very fast rate. I struggled to breath as the box went faster and faster. It wasn't but a few minutes later that the box had come to a complete stop. This would of been the time when the flight attendants on a plane would say, "Thank you for flying with us." The ceiling of the box opened and my vision was blinded by a burst of sunlight. I blinked a few times and crawled into a corner of the box out of fear of the unknown. Above me were about 30 boys ranging from 12 to 18. One of the boys, who had blonde hair and brown eyes, hopped down into the box and held out his hand, "Hey Greenie, my name's Newt. What's your name?" I answer almost instantly, "Sienna. What is this place? Why am I here?" Newt gave a small smile, "You are in the Glade. As to why you're here, I don't have an answer for that love." I nodded and lifted myself out of the metal box that had been holding me hostage. When I got back up to the surface, the rest of the boys that had been staring at me now had their eyes building out of their heads. I raised an eyebrow, "What? Have you never seen a girl in your lifetime?" They all shook their heads in unison. I sighed, "Great." I turned to Newt, who had pulled himself out of the box, "Do you have a place where I could run, like a track or something? I need to get my mind off of this whole thing." He shrugged, "I guess that you could run around the perimeter of the Glade but..." Before Newt could finish his sentence, I was already speeding towards a wall and running beside it.
