greenie

I wake up with a sudden jolt. I felt a shift underneath me. When I opened my eyes it made my head pound and my vision clouded. As soon as I could rise to my feet I started looking at the items around me. Boxes had WCKD imprinted in the sides and eerie sounds moved outside of the box rushing upwards. I went to the edge of the box and suddenly a creature of unimaginable sorts darted at me and I stood there as if the creature was familiar to me. like we had a bond. shaking off the feeling I started opening boxes trying to look for something to help me out of my current situation. Maybe something to block the mechanism from moving upwards but before I could find anything I noticed my surroundings having a filter of red and I looked up to see a solid platform coming up upon me. I went back on the floor as if the top crashed then maybe just maybe it wouldn't crash into me. Then just before it hit the box stopped and top opened. The blinding light made me raise my hand to try to stop some of it from hitting me all to fast then I felt someone drop in and the first thing I saw was a boy with a buzz cut and a utility belt.

"hey there greenie." he said his mouth slightly open as if he hadn't seen someone like me before and that made me self conscious. "Newt come look at this." I stood up and reached my hand out to touch the boys face as if this whole thing was fake. My imagination. A dream. But it wasn't. He flinched at my touch and my hands touched solid human flesh. That meant this was real. This was serious and now up until this moment that hadn't set in. I started getting more nervous. If I have the chance I should take it to run. Shouldn't I? The boy gently put my hand down. "Somebody get Newt! It's gonna be okay." He said and awkwardly patted my shoulder.

"What are you on about?" a sound came from above the box. I hadn't noticed until now but there were several pairs of eyes on me. All males. All seemed to be in their teenage years and the voice that just rung out belonged to a blonde boy with a strange accent. I saw the moment his eyes landed on me and they were wide, full of shock. "You're a girl?" He asked me and I looked down at myself like there was something wrong with that when I looked back up at him I was going to answer but then I got this strange sensation in my head, then stomach, then my vision clouded and then there was darkness.

i need a volunteer. someone strong, smart and ready to do what I ask. for WCKD. For the world.

I'll do it. Please let me have the honor of doing whatever you may need.

oh my sweet one. you'll be perfect.

I find myself gasping for air; hand on my chest as if that were to help my breathing. I look around me and I see six boys staring at me like I was an alien. I'm in what seems to be a hut. Green grass waits outside what seems to be a door way and then the boy from before with his utility belt still wrapped around his waist puts a hand on my back lightly rubbing up and down.

"It's okay you can breathe greenie we won't hurt you." He says and although his gesture is calming it does have a twinge of akward ness to it. I move to stand up and I can't feel my legs. At least not at first which causes me to tumble and the boy whom I presume to be Newt catches me. He looks at me with concern the puts me back onto the bed.

"You won't be doing that for a moment love." He says and backs away. I try to move my toes to get blood flowing and another boy speaks.

"What's your name?" He says and I turn my attention onto him. I cock my head to the side in confusion since I haven't seen him before. He had dark skin and a serious look on his face which made me pull my eyebrows together. I'm guessing he could tell I was confused and he spoke again. "My name is Alby. You may not remember yours yet but it should come to you in a day or so." I don't talk again because now I feel the blood in my legs starting to pump and I'm getting ready to get out this tent. Alby senses my worry and he speaks again. "That's Gally he was the one who first met you in the box," and he points at the boy with the buzz cut and I nod at him and he nods back with an awkward small wave. "That's newt, that's Minho" and he points at a new addition to the crew. He has jet black hair and a strange vest like thing he hooked his thumbs in. "Then that's Jeff and Clint. They are med Jacks...people who help when the gladers are hurt." He points at the final two who are in the corner of the room standing awkwardly. I stare back at Alby and make another confused look and he continues. "Gladers are the boys here. Then we have Slicers, Runners, Builders, Cooks, Baggers, and Track -Hoes. I am in charge and Newt is my second in command. The keeper of the builders is Gally and of the runners it's Minho. For the med jacks it is Clint so you can come to him if you experience any other medical problems alright?" He says and he moves closer to me finally leaving the way to the door open of any obstacles. He puts a hand in my shoulder and I stand up taking this as an opportunity to try and leave without being too obvious. "I know this is a lot to take in but if you just have a moment we'll all be here to help you out." He says and I smile he smiles back and I take this as my opportunity to step on his foot and sprint out the door. I hear yelling behind me but I don't stop I keep running until I stop and see my surroundings some kind of courtyard with thick grey walls around it. I turn to see the boys catching up to me so I keep running to what seems like a gap in the walls I run and run and run until I'm way into the passage and then I hear a whirring sound and a gust of wind and I turn behind me and I see all the boys stop and wave at me and I can't tell what they are yelling because the walls begin to shift and move as if they were alive. The once gap is now closing right in front of my eyes and then with a blink it's shut and it's now me and whatever this place is. Then I hear something. The same eerie sound as before. It gave me chills down my spine but it was loud, clear and I could tell it was coming closer and so I decided to do what was best and

RAN!
