Clear as the 'Sky'

Skylar

Hello fellow Gladers, I have decided to revise this story so it is hopefully grammatically correct. I apologize for all those readers who had to suffer through my terrible spelling and whatnot.

Because I am a lazy slug, I will not be changing much of the A/Ns so bear with me if it says a holiday that isn't even remotely close to when it is published.

Heheh...lazy slug

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my OCs

On with the story...

Chapter 1 - Skylar

I woke again to the same large metal box. It was still dark nothing had changed.

The box jolted.

Clang.

Bang.

Rattle.

...

I didn't panic. I knew any normal person would but I wasn't normal. I remembered a few things about myself. That had calmed me when I first woke.

My name was Skylar. I loved to run and I had two siblings. That was it but I cherished the few pieces of my missing identity.

I found some boxes and one actually made a clucking sound. It sounded like a chicken. How did a chicken get in here?

The box was moving again.

...

Sunlight began to creep from a hole in the ceiling. The hole was getting larger.

The light blinded me for a minute and I barely noticed the boy who jumped in with me. I looked up again. There, surrounding me were around twenty or so boys.

'Bloody great' I thought.

My companion spoke up, "Bloody Hell. It's a girl!"

Whispers followed that statement. Not all were pleasant:

"I call dibs!"

"You can't call dibs! I called dibs!"

"Is it really a girl?"

"Is she hot?"

"She reminds me of George."

Finally, a voice shouted. "Shut it ya shanks! You'll scare the poor greenie."

The boys shut up. I noticed that a tall dark skinned boy had shut them up. I nodded in thanks. He ignored me. "What do we have here Newt?"

My companion, apparently a boy named Newt, answered. "I don't have a bloody clue. The creators have never sent a girl up."

That frightened me. Why was I the only girl? What was I suppose to do in a group of 20 hormonal boys!?

Newt's voice brought me back, "what's your name greenie?"

I shook my head. I knew my name. I just wasn't willing to talk yet.

"It's alright. You'll get your name back at some point. It's the only thing they let us keep."

I raised my eyebrows questionably. He didn't elaborate.

He pointed to the kid who had shut up the boys. "This is Alby. He's the leader. I'm Newt and I'm second in command." He gestured to the metal prison. "Want to leave the box?" I nodded my head enthusiastically. I wanted to leave the metal prison quickly. He jumped out and I quickly followed, ignoring his helping hand.

The boys were still there. "Is that what all girls look like?" I turned to the voice. He was a small boy of about 14, probably the youngest there. My heart went out to him. How could someone be so cruel as to put a kid in here? Wait...where was here?

I looked around. It appeared that I was in a large meadow. It would have looked peaceful if not for the four large, towering walls surrounding us; trapping us.

Each appeared to have an entrance. The walls called to me. I went to step forward when Alby's voice stopped me "welcome to the Glade."

I turned to face him. My face must have shown my confusion. "It's what we call the place. You'll get a tour later. That's where Newt or I will explain what we know." I nodded in understanding. "Let's get you settled. George will set up your sleeping arrangements and he'll show you 'round a little."

That concludes the first chapter.

Wow, rereading your first story is really cringy.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this relatively short chapter.

Later Gladers,
