Amy's P.O.V. 

I heard sounds coming from around me. I opened my eyes, and saw that I was in some sort of lift. How did I get here? I tried to remember anything about how I got here, and nothing came to my mind. The only thing I remember is my name. Amy. I got up off the floor, and tried to find some sort of exit, but found nothing. I heard sounds from above. It sounded like someone was trying to open the top. I ran and hid behind some boxes that were around me. The top opened, and sunlight poured into the lift.

"Where's the greenie?" A voice asked

"Where's the greenie?" A voice asked. I heard a loud thud, and someone walking towards where I was. I covered my face, in case they weren't friendly. I heard the boxes move.

"What is it?" Another voice asked.

"It's a girl." A voice from in front of me answered.

"A girl?" One voice asked.

"There's a girl in the Glade?" A second voice asked.

"Is she pretty?" A third asked.

"I call dibs!" The fourth voice shouted.

"You can't call dibs on a girl, shuck-face!" A fifth voice yelled.

"Can you all stop? You're scaring her." The voice in front of me said. I heard the person come in front of me. "It's okay. We're not gonna hurt you. There's no need to be afraid." The voice said calmly. I looked up, and saw a boy with dirty blonde hair.

"My name's Newt. Do you remember yours?" He asked. I slowly nodded. "What's your name?" He asked.

"My name.......is...... Amy." I said hesitantly. I felt as if he looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out why.

"Well Amy, welcome to the Glade." Newt said. He stood up, and reached his hand out. "What do you say, we get out of this box, yeah?" He asked. For some odd reason, I felt as if I could trust him. I slowly reached up, and grabbed his hand. He pulled me off the ground, and walked over to the side of the lift. "Help us out of here." He told the boys. They reached down and pulled Newt up. Newt reached his hand down, grabbed mine, and pulled me out of the lift. I looked around, and saw I was in some sort of meadow with lots of trees. I was amazed. Then, I saw huge walls surrounding us. I was about to panic when I heard Newt speak to me. "Don't worry. Those are the walls. I tell you about them later." He said. I nodded.

"Newt, is this the new greenie?" I heard someone ask. I turned around and saw a older dark skinned boy.

"Yes. Amy, this is Alby. Our leader." Newt introduced.

"It's nice to meet you." Alby said as he shook my hand. I nodded.

"I was gonna give her the tour." Newt said.

"Alright then, I'll see you two later." Alby said as walked away. Newt grabbed my hand.

"Come on." He said as he pulled me away. He told me about all the jobs, and the buildings. "Once a month a new greenie comes. Every new greenie gets a tour. You know you're actually the first girl greenie here." He said. And I was super shocked.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes, really. Every greenie has been a boy, until today." He said as he turned to me. "You see those walls?" He asked as he pointed to the walls surrounding the Glade.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Those are for our protection. You're never allowed outside of those walls. Okay?" He asked me.

"Yeah, but why? What's out there?" I asked.

"Something you don't want to deal with." He answered as he walked up to me. "There's a bonfire tonight, in your honor." He changed the subject.

"I....I don't really want one." I answered.

"Why not?" He asked.

"I just.......I don't like to be celebrated for some odd reason." I answered.

"Well, that's too bad. Because they'll probably still have the bonfire anyway." He said with a smile. I laughed a little. A small boy ran up to us.

"Hey Newt." The small boy said.

"Hey Chuck. Chuck this is Amy, this month's greenie." He introduced me to the kid.

"Hi. I'm Chuck." The boy said as he shook my hand.

"Hi, I'm Amy. It's nice to meet you, Chuck." I answered back.

"Alby called a meeting." Chuck told Newt.

"Well, let's go then." Newt said as he walked us to the building where they had meetings.
