The Maze Runners (Newt)

Prologue

Prologue 

Gasping for air I jolted up into the sitting position while my fingers laced themselves with the cold, wet metal I was uncomfortably laying on. Fear pulses through me as I looked around me in confusion. Where am I?

I grabbed onto the large wooden crate next to me as I pulled myself up while I looked around the cage I was in, that was until something jumped towards me from outside of the cage. Throwing myself backwards, my back collides with the metal side as I tried to stop myself from having a heart malfunction.

Then red lights interrupted my view of my dim surroundings and I looked up. My bum hits the metal as I gripped the metal cage around me in fear, only for the box I was in to come to a sudden jolting halt and my surroundings become dark.

A loud buzzing sound makes me flinch before sunlight makes me close my eyes. Slowly I opened my eyes and looked up, only to raise an eye brow at the many faces that peer down at me in confusion. "A girl?"

The metal roof of the cage I was in was pulled open and a guy drops down into the cage and stares at me hesitantly for a moment before he moves towards me. "Come on Greenie, rise and shine." He grabs onto my hands and pulls me to my feet.

"Help her out of there."

No one moved as I felt my skin to begin to crawl at the fact they were all staring me down - why is there no other female species in my eye sight? Someone sighs and reaches down, placing my hands in there's he helps me out of the box before I dropped my hands and stared at all of the guys.

"Wow, she's taking it very well-" My foot connects with the closet guy in front of me and he dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes in agony. Then I ran through the small gap and started to sprint away from the group.

"Woo! Go Greenie!"

"Run girl, run!"

I ignored the laughter from behind me as I continued to sprint towards the grey walls with a gap between them. As soon as I got close to the walls panic swapped from amusement in the males voices behind me.

On either side of me walls surrounded me as I ran over the stone floor, a few patches here and there were covered in green vines. Skidding to a halt I looked around at my surroundings in confusion, what is this place?

Confused I moved to the wall and pressed my hands to the stone wall before I looked up, making a shock of pain go through the back of my neck as I tried to see the top of it - or even  something behind it. Who the hell builds such big bloody wall?

Foot steps jolted me out of my thoughts and I turned around while I instantly pulled an defensive stance - which was just me shaking slightly with my hands held in front of me with my hands clenched until my knuckles were white.

A group of guys ran around the corner before the came to a screeching halt in front of me. "Who are you?"

"Who are you?" I questioned back as the three guys looked at one another.

"We're the Runner's-"

"We need to be heading back now, come on."

"Come any closer and you will be on the ground in pain in ten seconds flat - HEY!" I screeched as I get picked up and thrown over a guys shoulder. "Put me down or so help me god I will make sure you're the second female within these stone walls," I growled, my fists hitting the guys back and he ran with the other two guys who were gawking at me.

"You got her!"

"She was faster than you Minho!"

"I swear to god if you don't put me down I will bury you twelve feet under!" I yelled, slamming my fist against the guys back as we get surrounded by the group of guys from before. They all stared at me cautiously - a few in amusement - as I slammed my fists and yelled until I was blue in the face.
