Subject A7 - The Leader [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter Two

You looked at the male and then spun in a slow circle examining not the crowd this time, but the field that you were in. Large gray concrete walls surrounded the field, one large opening on each side. On the walls were thick ivy. It went high, but not all the way to the top.

"Where is this place?" You asked the dark skinned male. "Why am I here? Why can't I remember anything?!"

"Woah.. Slim yourself a bit, alright?" he replied, his hands out in front of him like he's surrendering. You nodded, still shaking. "Alright, greenbean, there's a lot to explain on this place, and I'll give you the grand tour tomorrow. Just until then, don't go around messing things up. Doubt you will though. Name's Alby, by the way." Alby held his hand out, for a handshake. You shakily took it. He did a firm up and down before letting your hand go.  "Normally I'd give the tour the same day, but you seem too shaken up for something like that." You nod again. "Newt!" He calls over one of the boys. 

A tall blond comes over and you notice a limp. "What's up Alby?"

"Get her a bed, and let her sleep off today," he orders the blond. After his monologue and that order he gave the blond, you guessed that he was the leader of this... Glade, is what Alby called it, right? 

"Good that," Newt said. 

"You'll feel better tomorrow. Sleep the wackiness off today. All of us went through this crazy klunk too. New life begins tomorrow," Alby told you. 

You nod again and followed Newt to the big building in the far corner. It was slanted and it worried you if it was actually stable, but since so many boys seem to be going in and out from it, you guessed that it could be trusted for at least sleeping in. Maybe not so much partying.

"Do you remember your name?" Newt asks you.

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure my name's (y/n)." You answer. "Hey, I know uhm... Alby? Is supposed to tell me everything tomorrow, but still... Why can't I remember anything?"

"It's just how it is. Like Alby said, we were all like how you are now in the beginning. Remembered nothing but our own name. Can't even remember our age, but ya could tell we were all around teens." 

You both stop in front of the shack. "This is what we call, Homestead." Newt informs. "This'll be the place where ya sleep, and all that klunk." He opens the door and it creeks a little. You cringe. "Sounds bad, but sturdy enough for all of us. It's fine." Newt leads you down a hallway which had wallpaper that made you cringe further. The smell wasn't helping at all either. The blond opens a door to a room that seemed to have no other occupiers. "Even if ya are a Greenie, can't let you stay in a room full of shanks that could do something weird to ya. Ya get your own room, good that?"

"Uh.. Yeah. Good that." You replied. It felt weird using the language that the boys here made up.

"'Right then. I'll tell ya when we got supper ready and all that. Till then, rest. You still look shaky, Greenbean."

You nodded one last time and Newt left the room, leaving you in your own sanctuary.

Later that night, it wasn't Newt who brought you food, it was the guy who helped you out of the Box. You scooted away from him a bit, still a bit scared even though he helped you. 

"Woah, it's okay Greenie, ain't gonna hurt you," the male said. "Name's Minho. Yours?"

"(y/n). Uhm... Thanks for helping me in that box cage thing, today."

"No probs," Minho said. "Here, eat some supper. Frypan's cooking isn't homemade mom cooking good, but it's still satisfying after a long day like what you had." The Asian handed you a sandwich. 

You took it and took a few bites. "Thanks," you said again. Minho nodded his head and stood up.

"Holler if you need anything, got it Greenie? But don't scream like a little shank." He informed.

"Good that."

"Oh and uh, I don't suggest you leaving this place unless Newt, Alby, or me grab you." With that, Minho left the room, leaving you half confused.

You decided that you shouldn't let curiosity take over yet, and so now that you had food, you lay yourself down in bed and drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
