Subject A8, the tape

The Glade

I wake up as the blonde boy is lifting me towards the sky. As soon as my feet hit the ground I make a run for it, going as fast as I can. I don't know where I am but I could sure as hell tell that I was the only girl here. I start to climb a rickety ladder leading onto a lookout with supplies on top of it. I heard distant shouts and yells for me to come down but I am definitely not going down there unarmed. I look around and find a knife, I decide to stay there for a little bit and stab anyone who tries to come after me. I say that to myself in my head, but I really don't want to stab anyone. For all I know these people could be nice, but I can't take the chance of risking safety. People start climbing the ladder but I just throw supplies down at them. Finally they understand that I'm never going to let anyone up and leave me alone. But soon I drift into a deep sleep. I jolt awake when I feel someone shaking my shoulder lightly, i bolt upright and try to grab my knife. He twists my arm around my back and pulls me against his chest so I can't grab it, and I start to thrash trying to get away. "Hey, hey greenie calm down alright? No one is gonna hurt you and if they try we'll make sure the grievers get 'em." This was so confusing to me. What is a griever? What does greenie mean? He finally lets me go and i somehow feel like I can trust this boy. He has dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, and he is about 5'4. He is wearing a dirty white shirt and brown pants with a belt. "Now will you please come down from here?" I nod still unable to speak coherently. He starts to climb down the ladder and I follow after him. As I'm climbing down a notch breaks, and I am about to fall when I feel his strong grip around my waist, holding me up. I mutter a "thanks" and push him away. Even if he does seem nice, I can't trust him yet. As soon as we get down he starts talking. "Ok greenie welcome to the glade. This is where we live, and if you haven't already guessed, your the only shucking girl here. Alby is in charge and I'm second in command." I take his moment of silence as a chance to speak, I point at these massive walls, "what is that? And what's a griever? Also what does greenie and shank mean?" He cuts into my questions with his cute accent, wait did I just say cute? "Sorry greenie, can't answer any questions until the tour tomorrow. Until then try not to get yourself killed." He obviously saw the look of fear cross my face and said, "just kidding." I just got to this crazy place and I don't remember anything and this guy has the nerve to crack jokes. Are you serious? "Well I'm kind of busy right now so find a kid named Chuck for a little more of a introduction." He starts to walk away, and I realize he has a limp. I also realize he didn't tell me his name. "Wait you didn't tell me your name!" I yell. "You didn't tell me yours!" He counters back. I start to think, Serena, that's my name. "It's Serena." I say. He smirks, "welcome to hell Serena, I'm Newt." I watch as he wobbles away, and I go off on my quest to find Chuck.
