I woke up panting, was i having a panic attack? what was happening? I ran my hands through my hair, why is it wet? i don't remember taking a shower, i don't really remember anything; my name, what i look like, my age, or how i got in this cage. What is happening? I look around the moving cage, where it was going i didn't have a clue. There were boxes all over, all the boxes had one word on them "W.C.K.D"

Suddenly the box went upwards even faster than it had been. Then it stopped sending me falling onto my butt. I sat there holding my breath, why was i holding my breath? suddenly there was a burst of bright light. I quickly shielded my eyes, when i heard a bunch of boys talking

"It's a girl" I heard one say with a English accent. Finally my eyes adjusted to the light and i could see, maybe, 13 boys at least, all staring at me smiling. Then one of them jumped into the box.

"Get away from me" i said scooting away, until i hit a box behind me

"i'm not going to hurt you, i promise" he said putting his hands up. I looked at him, and then nodded as he extended his hand out to me. I hesitated for a good minute. "Trust me" he said looking into my eyes. I then took his, he smiled and helped me up and out of the box. Once i was out, I just stood there with arms crossed holding myself. I didn't know who these boys were, and definitely didn't trust them.

"My names Newt, and this is Alby, his in charge around here" Newt says. i just looked at Alby a little scared. "Don't worry you'll be safe, i promise" Newt said finally before walking away.

"i promise i won't do anything to hurt you or make you feel uncomfortable, i just want to show you around is all" Alby replied with a smile, I nodded and followed him.

Alby was tall, dark, and muscular, he was handsome as well, but was nothing compared to Newt.

"We call this place The Glade, we eat, sleep, and work here" he spoke, "There are three rules to follow, everyone does their part, Never hurt another Glader, we have to trust one another. And never go outside the Glade, unless you're a runner."

"A runner?" i asked, he just looked at me like i was crazy

"look, you're new here and i get you have questions, but don't worry about runners, i say this because i want you to be safe. You're the only girl here, now i'm not saying you can't take care of yourself, but out there" he says looking at the big dark grey walls encircling The Glade. "It can be pretty scary."

As i look down i hear Alby "come one lets go get you settled in".

After Alby set up a spot for me to sleep, Newt walks over

"Hey guys" he smiles

"Newt" he replies with a smile, i smile as well. "Well i guess you're back in better hands, i'll see you guys late at the fire" he says before walking away and saying goodbye to me, leaving me alone with Newt. we had walked into the woods at some point, not sure when but i honestly didn't mind. we had found a fallen' tree and were sitting on it.

"So how are you feeling?" he finally spoke

"I'm feeling okay, i guess. I just wish i could remember things"

"Do you remember your name?"

it took me a while before i spoke again "Ann" he seemed to light up at that

"Well, Ann, that is a beautiful name it suits you" he smiles, making me blush

"Newt?" i asked

"yes?"

"what, uhmm, what do i look like?"

"oh, uh, well you have dark brown hair, long. You're a skin is slightly tan but also pale, skinny, tall; maybe a few inches shorter than me" he says before looking at me. "You have beautiful eyes" he says making me blush and turn away, i hear him laugh a little. "You're also really beautiful" he says, making me look only to see his face turn bright red, causing me to smile.



*AN: BRITISH ACCENT IS NOT A THING. ENGLISH ACCENT IS MORE CORRECT*
