Hopeless Love

Greenies

"Chuck?!" I search for my brother in the darkness.

"Anne? Anne, where are we?" I can hear fear in his voice, I think he's been crying.

"I don't know. Just stay calm."

"How can you say that? We're in a dark place, all alone, who knows what's gonna happen next, and the only thing I can remember is my name and yours!" He's right. My names Anne, his names Chuck, do we have a last names? I know he's my brother, I don't know our parents, how old we are, and right now I don't even know what I look like.

"Anne?" More tears.

"Yeah, Chuck?"

"What do we do?" How should I know? I'm as clueless as him.

"Well, we're in some sore of metal cage. And I think I see a light way up above." Suddenly there's a loud noise, then the sound of metal against metal and we start moving, up. Picking up speed and heading straight for a small red light. Chuck wraps his arms around my torso and refuses to let go.

Fast and fast, we speed towards the light that is growing by the second. We hurls to a stop. A blinding light appears and dozens of faces looking down at us.

"Open it." Someone demands. They do, the top of the cage opened and two people jump in. One a blonde boy with weird eyebrows and a girl that looks just like him.

"Day one, Greenies." the boy says, a harshness in his voice. A crooked smile on his face.

The girls laugh is intimidating, the boy leans in closer to us, looking us over than leans back. His face softens and he stretches out his hand to me.

"Chuck, get up." I say, he let's go and grabs the boys hand. Rolling his eyes, he pulls my brother up.

"I'm Gally." He says putting his hand back out for me. When he pulls me up I almost run into him, I guess I'm lighter then he thought. I take back my hand and reexamine the surroundings.

Someone had helped Chuck out of the cage and a lot of the boys were staring at me. "Here, step on that crate." Gally points to a box and offers his hand. The girl stands behind him, rolling her eyes.

I take his hand and step up, another hand is put out for me. When I stand on solid ground again I see the owner on the hands face. A dark skinned boy with extremely short hair eyes me.

"Welcome to the Glade, I'm Alby, I'm the leader here." he says and my thoughts run ramped. Glade?

"Why are we here?" I ask grabbing Chucks arm.

"Come with me." he says and turns. A girl stands behind him with her hands on her hips. She has dark skin too and also beautiful long hair, she shorter then Alby but intimidating. "Oh, hey, Bella." He says shyly.

With a disappointed look on her face she puts her hand out for me to shake. "I'm Bella, my brother Alby must have forgot that I'm also the leader here. We'll show you around." She makes a path though the crowd and we follow after her.
