Lost in the Glade

A Rude Awakening

I felt sick to my stomach as I felt myself tossing and turning from a deep sleep. Sleeping was something I felt very confident in, so to feel like this was new. I opened my eyes and observed my surroundings that seemed oddly familiar. I look up and discovered the cause of my sick stomach. I was in a crate that resembled a box lifting up to a pit of what looked like nothing, red lights were at flashing me. I felt my fear rising and to no help, I heard a squeal from a pig to my right.

"Is anyone there?" I questioned. No response.

I tried this a couple of more times but found no use as there was no one around me, I still wished someone could hear me.

I looked up once more and saw a ceiling, startled of the close proximity, I dropped back on my feet preparing for impact.

It never came.

Everything fell silent, I felt like the only person in the world. That was until the gates opened up and a flash of light blinded me.

"Day one greenie, rise and shine". Some boy no older than 17 yelled down.

He grabbed me rather abruptly and dragged me out of the box. I fell on my hands and knees and looked up to see where I was. I was shocked to see an entire society of men staring back. I felt my heart racing and breath shortening, not only due to the fact I awoke in an elevating box, but also as I looked around, I noticed something rather strange.

I was the only girl there

I'm going to die here

Or worse, get molested. I thought to myself.

"I- Where am I- and could you all stop staring at me". I said aloud.

"She's feisty". One boy exclaimed

"I like her already". Another stated

"Woah calm down there, welcome to the Glade greenbean". A lanky boy with shaggy blonde-hair and blue eyes responded.

Greenbean? I question silently.

Who is he?

Have we met?

Were we ever friends?

More?

I met his eyes, he was attractive. 

"No, I won't "calm down", wouldn't you freak out if you woke up in a box being lifted into a God knows what this place is, with nothing but seeming to be only boys you don't even know" I exclaim.

"Newt" he said

"What" I reply

"My name, it's Newt" he stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I looked at him confused once more

"Now you know me so you can quit causing a bloody scene" He replied

I was taken aback

"I'm- I can't remember- why can't I remember" I question

"Don't worry about it, it happened to all of us. You'll get your name back sooner or later." He spoke. "It's the only thing they let us keep" I heard him mumble.

"They?"

"Enough questions, this is Alby our leader, and this shank, is Gally" Newt says

They reply with a hi and hello

What kind of names were these???

It's been a couple of hours since I've been here, nothing extravagant has happened besides my arrival. I caught sight of the huge walls encompassing us, which were nothing short of 200 feet. The boys once surrounding me going back to what looked like work. I was sat alone on a log watching them.

As I stared at everyone, a feeling of sadness washed over me.

Is this my life now?

Am I safe?

Who am I?

And why me?

I jumped out of these thoughts once I heard a low yet loud sound. I looked around me noticing no one seemed to be disturbed. Why wasn't anyone questioning this?

"You alright their greenie?". Newt coming from behind me asked.

"Where is that noise coming from" I questioned.

"That is coming from those doors over there" He pointed to my right.

I looked over and saw the walls surrounding us moving, I don't know how they did this as they look like they've been here for millions of years.

"What is this place?" I asked him once more.

"You'll know tomorrow once you get the bloody tour". He retorted.

Sighing from his response, I saw all the boys make their way to a wooden shack.

"Cmon, let's go eat". He requested.

I followed him and the rest of the boys into the shack where we soon ate chicken with rice, which Frypan, whom Newt introduced me to, cooked for everyone.

I sat quietly in a bench with Newt and others I recalled from earlier.

"Since you're the only shucking girl in this place and we don't want any trouble, you'll be sleeping in the empty room next to Newt over here". Alby explained.

I nodded my head and finished my dinner quietly.

I sat on a wooden bed in the room Alby led me too, I was alone with my thoughts which wasn't pleasant as I had many questions running through my head, which no one seemed to want to answer.

I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in" I said.

The door opened revealing a freshly washed Newt.

"Just came in to say goodnight and goodluck tomorrow". He announced.

"Thanks". I replied.

"Well alright, don't let the grievers keep you up". He said while closing the door.

"The what?". I questioned 

He laughed and closed the door

You didn't answer the question. I thought.

With that, I felt my eyes dozing off and fell into a deep sleep.
