This was it. (Or so I Thought) *Maze Runner Fanfiction*

Chapter 1: Step 1) We're not alone

"The what?" My second question was asked, then answered.
"The Glade."
"What kind of bloody name is that-"
"Don't ask me. Don't ask why, dont ask how, dont even ask what, because I don't have very many answers to help you. There was no one here before me, so I didn't get MY questions answered."
"So no one else is out there?" Silence floated through the air for a moment.
"No, no. Unless you wanna call that shrieking beyond those walls our friends." Once I had an answer a loud shriek echoed, but since I've been here, I've only heard it once and that was it.
I lifted my head from the box and saw tall dry grass. Alby heaved me up and stood me on my feet. The wind drove through my hair, making me feel...calm for once.
I looked beyond the grass, and what stood there, tall and proud, was a giant stone wall, but that wasn't the only wall. There were three more the exact same that stood boldly and proud as it did in all four corners of the earth that I saw. They touched the skies. I turned my body all the way around and realized I was trapped here. I can't escape? What am I supposed to do now? I clear my throat.
"How long exactly have you been-"
"A month." Alby spoke softly with fear. I tried to remember exactly what a month even was. Was it a long time? Was it just yesterday? I couldn't exactly put my finger on what it was. I completely forgot, but I have heard that word.
"How long is that...exactly." I asked with fright.
"Thirty days. Newt, I've been trapped in here for thirty days alone. And you also better get used to it, because you're going to be trapped here for maybe even longer. I don't understand anything right now."
I didn't know whether I can trust this guy or not. I'm still debating. Do I trust him? Can I deal with this guy for a...month?
"Now, first things first, I need to ask you just a few questions. Come on let's get out of this sun. It's scorching out here."
My heart was still pounding at the sight of the cage. It's going to be hard trying to forget all that.
But do I really want to forget?

Alby and I settled at the heart of the...the Glade and we sat in some strange wooden chairs. Alby's back was arched and his elbows rested into his thighs and he spoke, "Newt. Can you tell me anything but your name? Where you came from? Who you are." I looked at him as if he were crazy, because my name was the only answer I had for him. I began to dig deeper in my head.
Who was I really? How old am I? Where was I born? Where was I born? The questions were too much for me, but I tried to dig even deeper.
"Hey. Hey, hey." Alby broke my thoughts. I looked at him. "It's okay." He said gently. I didn't bloody realize I had stopped breathing. My hands were trembling, my forehead had beads of sweat running down my cheekbones.
"I can't remember anything. Why can't I bloody-"
"Hey, listen. It's alright. I'm not going to hurt you. It's okay. It happened with me and I still can't remember a thing about where I even came from or who sent me here, but I do know one thing. It's that no matter how hard we try to escape from this place, we have to stick together. Nothing will work unless we have trust. You understand me?"
I nodded my head, and leaned back in my chair, taking in deep breaths. Before I knew it, my head hit the pavement of the floor.
"You've been through enough already today. Why don't you get yourself some sleep." Alby helped me up as I rubbed my head, "I'll help you get started first thing tomorrow morning."
