1. Where am I?

*Three years ago*

Cold metal. Thats the first thing I notice when I wake up. The sound of metal gliding against metal.  I dont know where I am or how I got there. My eyes remain closed, scared of what I might see. The buzzing sound is giving me a headache. 

My hand slides over whatever ground it is Im lying on. More metal. I try to sit up. Slowly I open one of my eyes, then the other. Im in what seems to be a big metal box that is moving upwards. A few smaller boxes and other stuff are standing in the corners. There are dim green lights on the bypassing walls.

I pull myself up at the side of the cage. When I stand on both feet I look up. I can see a ceiling through the open cage. It comes closer and closer. My heartbeat starts to fasten. I close my eyes ready for the impact when the box suddenly comes to a stop. I fall back on the cold metal. The buzzing has also stopped at some point. Its completely quiet.

I open my eyes again. The lights that were green not even a minute ago have turned a bloody red.

Suddenly there is a loud cracking sound and the ceiling seems to slowly open. Im blinded by the bright light that seeps through the opening as I scramble backward until my back hits the side of the cage. I frantically search for something to defend myself with. My hand suddenly finds the handle of a knife. I hold it so tight I can feel my knuckles turn white.

The ceiling is now fully opened and I hold my other hand in front of my eyes to protect them from the bright light. I hear a few voices whispering things to each other. I cant make up any clear words though.

Suddenly someone jumps down in front of me and I can feel the box shake. A tall slim figure appears in front of me. My eyes are getting used to the bright light and I can make up more of their features. Its a boy, he has short blonde hair and deep brown eyes. He smiles at me and holds out his hand. I hesitate for a moment, I look between his face and his hand debating if I should use the knife that Im holding behind my back or trust the unfamiliar boy. After a while, I take his hand. What do I have to lose right? I keep the knife in my hand for if its needed.

The blonde pulls me to my feet and helps me out of the box. A breeze immediately makes its way through my hair and sends a shiver down my spine. I take a deep breath. It smells like wet grass and reminds me of a forest. I take a look around and the first thing I notice are the four big walls surrounding whatever place this is. The next thing I notice are the six boys staring at me. One of them being the blonde who pulled me out of the metal box.

"Where am I?" Is the only thing I can get over my dry lips.

The one that looks the oldest takes a step in my direction. "Welcome to the glade."

The what? I think to myself. My face must have given away my confusion because the boy let out a small laugh. Its okay. "I know youre confused but were not gonna hurt you. I promise." Those words make me feel a little bit less tense but I still have my guard up. You never know

"Im Alby." The boy speaks again. "These are Newt;" He motions to the blonde one. Gally, Winston, Frypan, and Jeff." I look at the rest of them. The Gally guy is tall and has weird eyebrows. He looks very intimidating too. The others look a lot nicer. They all give me a little smile except for Gally.

"My name is.." What is my name? Who am I? Why cant I remember my name? Now that I think about it, why cant I remember anything? "Its okay, its normal that you dont remember anything. None of us do. Your name should come back to you in a few days." Okay, at least that means Im not going crazy.

"Okay guys get back to work! Newt can you show the greenie around please?" Alby says. Newt just nods and walks over to me as the rest walks off. Im guessing to do what Alby asked them to do. I notice a small limp in Newts walk but I dont dare to ask. Its not my business.
