The new arrival was dragged out of the Box and into a number of boys, approximately 20 or so of them. She looked around at all of them, seeing all the different hair colours, heights, shapes and skin colours of the group. The girl was scared to say the least. She had know idea of who she was, where she was, why she was there and who in the world were these weirdos?

"Oh, she is pretty...", said a boy with jet black hair.
"Hey! I said I called dibs!", a voice from earlier shouted from the other side of the group, causing her to turn and see who it was.
"Slim it, shuckheads!"
"Shut it, Winston!"
"Why don't you, Zart?"
All the voices were swarming into nothing but blurry whispers. So she did the only thing she could do: run.

And that's what she did, bolting straight through the boys as if they were strands of grass. Once she got through the group, she saw more of the space she was in. 4 gigantic walls stood high above the area like mountains, but she noticed that there were also 4 openings in the middle of each wall leading to somewhere. She started sprinting towards the closest opening she could find, the one to her left, but not before she heard a boy shout out in an amused tone, "Looks like we got ourselves a Runner, boys!".

She didn't care what they said, all she wanted was to get out of there as fast as possible. And the only way out apparently was through the humungous opening in front of her. Every sound just blurred out of existence. All her focus was on her breathing and her leg movements. Although she had just come out of a cage after being there for quite a long time with no moving whatsoever, she felt like she had done this her whole life. She felt like she was in her element.

But that was ripped away as she felt herself being tackled to the ground, bringing reality back to her.
"Let me go!", was all the girl could say as she soon felt more hands hold her down.
"Just calm the shuck down, Greenie!", was the only reply she got. But she kept struggling against them all until a voice boomed throughout the ruckus.
"STOP!"
Everyone obeyed the voice including the girl, who looked at the person in bewilderment.
"Take her to the Slammer, let her calm down", the voice came from a dark skin boy who seemed, by the looks of it, the oldest of the bunch, 18 at the most.

Two pairs of hands grabbed ahold of the Glade's newest arrival by the shoulders and dragged her to her feet.
"What are you doing? Let me go!", but no matter how hard she struggled, screamed or fought, the boys had strong holds on her and dragged her to a pit that had cage bars on the front of the opening.

~Time Skip~

The greenbean sat in silence as the hours went past. No one came to visit her or anything, she was just left alone to take it all in. Throughout this time, she had created a massive list of questions to ask anyone if they happened to pass.

She decided to take a look at the area from her view in the pit she was caged in. She pressed herself against the bamboo-stick bars as far as she could, to get a better look at the area. It had luscious green grass, golden hay stacks and healthy looking animals in a fenced off section of the area. She saw some boys taking care of the livestock, while others were shovelling hay into bails. She tried looking further but the "Slammer" only showed her the view she had right now. She also saw an opening in front of her. From what she could see, there were vines and dirt covering the cemented walls, but she couldn't see directly into the opening.

All of a sudden, the oldest looking boy came out of nowhere, knocking her to the ground in surprise.
"How ya doing, Greenie?", he asked kindly, smiling slightly. The girl didn't answer, she didn't know this boy and didn't trust him. So all she did was stare at him in a state of shock.
"Alright...", the boy mumbled," can you tell me anything about yourself? How about your name, can you tell me that?"
The Greenie shook her head and refused to make eye contact with the boy.
