Nothing. Nothing ar all. I can't remember anything expect my own name.
Nikie. My name is Nikie. I thought.
That... that was the only thing I could remember about my life. No family, no childhood, no friends, no memories, just nothing.
I began to fumble around to see if anything was in here with me. I felt cold metal with holes in certain spots. I wasn't in a room. I was in a cage. I stretched my hand further to feel something or someone. Anything that was alive, like me. My hand brushed against something that felt like cloth.
" Nobody here but me. Great."
I signed and went back to sit in a corner. Suddenly, the sound of the gears screeching as the cage moved upwards. After a few minutes, the metal box comes to a jolting stop flinging me across the ground. I look up to see doors on the ceiling of the box slowly open. A straight line of light appeared across the ceiling of the room and I watched as it expanded. A heavy grating sound revealed double sliding doors being forced to open. After so long in darkness, the light stabbed my eyes. I looked away, covering my face with both of my hands.
I can hear whispers all around me.
" It's another bloody girl! Where the hell are they getting them? " the boy with a British accent said.
" Maybe they're giving each one of us one before we die. " another boy with funny eyebrows replied.
Everyone laughs.
" Well if Teresa was for Thomas, who's she for?" the British boy jokes.
I can't take it anymore.
" Where the bloody hell am I? "
The British boy looks shocked and look around before he says " Mine!"
Then he hops in and help me up says " Hello there love! Name's Newt. "
" Nikie. " I answered.
At that moment I noticed just how stunning he was. His windswept dirty blonde hair hung slightly in front of his gorgeous eyes, which were locked on me as if he was studying me as well. Wow he's hot, especially those eyes. Those beautiful, deep brown eyes which I would happily get lost in at any minu-
Woah hold up I thought as I broke myself out of my love-struck daze. I just met this guy and here I am drooling all over him!
" You shanks coming out or not?" asked the funny eyebrows boy annoyed.
Thank God. I thought. Some of the boys pulled the both of us out of the cage.
I looked around as soon as I got out. There had to be at least fifty boys here, but only a girl who's standing next to a dark-skinned boy.
" Welcome to the Glade, Greenie." the dark-skinned boy said. Suddenly, the boy with weird eyebrows walked over and insulted me.
Really!? I just came here and already someone's behaving rude to me?
I snapped back to him and all the boys Oooooed at my attitude. One of them whispered " She's a feisty one, huh?" to his friends.
The boy continued to argue with me and out of the blue, Newt walked in front of the boy to protect me.
" Gally, stop it."
" That shank will get it tonight." the boy named Gally said and walked away.
Shank? What the hell does that mean?
" Don't worry about him, love. As long as you are with me, he can't hurt you." Newt comforted me.
" He will regret that! " I replied, not backing out of the challenge.
" Haha... I'm looking forward to it." he laughed lightly to my answer.
" Newt, give the Greenie a tour and the rest of you shanks get back to work! " the dark-skinned boy ordered.
He must be their leader.
" So... since you are new here, let me show you around. "
" Ok, thanks. " I answered hesitatly.
" But no questions till the end, understand? " I nodded before the tour began.
