WICKED'S PAWN

Chapter 2

Waking up wasn't hard at all. The sun directly shining in my eyes and hearing teenage boys's groaning what could possibly be better? Oh and the fact that I have no idea where I might be, who I may be and barely getting two hours of sleep.(Note the heavy use of sarcasm)

Adjusting to the weird terms and words of the gladers, surprisingly wasn't difficult at all. I adjusted to it like second nature. But still, a name would be nice.

After breakfast I saw a couple, but definitely noticeable changes in the glade, there were openings into what everyone addressed as the Maze, and saw Thomas and Minho running into it. I really, really wanted to go into it but a weird dude, Gally maybe?, stopped me and yelled in my face rudely, ' What the shuck do you think you're doing greenie? Do you wanna die or something?' I replied with the anger and evidence apparent to anyone, 'No, but forgive me for trying to get the hell out of here and maybe not be stuck here with 50 boys staring at me like I might pounce on them any second!', he replied annoyed, 'Do you know who you're talking to greenie?', I said smirking, 'A moron apparently.' Everyone listening, nearby 'oohed' at my sudden show of sassiness. He turned red in the face and walked away, clearly embarassed and enraged at the fact that he got outwitted by a girl, if I may say so myself. Today, the sort-of leader or that's what I thought, Alby was gonna show me around and I'll be doing every job until I find one that might fit me. Great.

      Getting a good look at the glade I felt really, really weird like I got an eerie feeling, it was really creepy but my hunger and curiosity took the best of me and started bombarding Alby with questions. I thought that he might get annoyed and start yelling at me but he stayed pretty calm. Probably because I'm a girl, I thought. Making up my mind that I don't want nor need any special treatment here I told him, 'You don't need to treat me any differently, you know? Whoever sent any of us here probably did so because of something.' He quickly replied, 'You know, you're right. Just because you're a girl doesn't make you much different from any of us. You're pretty smart too, getting a weapon was the first instinct you had? All of us were huddled in corners and crying, not talking to anyone. I'm pretty sure you got some friends right? Well, I gotta go but you can help me out with the Box shipment today, okay?' I smiled and nodded my head, satisfied with his answer. I walked away to the dining area for lunch and hoping to meet Chuck and Newt. Maybe this won't be the worst.

After eating, Alby and I headed over to the Box and started pulling stuff out of it. He told me, ' The Box comes up with a new greenie every month, that was you, and supplies every week. We usually ask them for stuff and they send it to us.' I asked him about the Maze suddenly feeling intrigued, standing near the doors which supposedly close and open every day, also have walls inside them that move and change every night. There were also things called Grievers, which everyone seemed afraid of. When pulling out a box it was labelled, unlike any other, "For the Girl", I showed it to Alby and he told me to open it, I did and I saw a bunch of clothes and something weird stuffed in the corner. Something that said MP3, property of A? Alby told me to put back in the Box and said that he'll have something called a Gathering with all the Keepers.

After a couple of hours Minho and Thomas returned from the Maze which they've been trying to solve for 2 shucking years! I asked them about the Maze at dinner after they were done with their "Top Secret" stuff. They barely said anything so I was talking to Newt about what I'm gonna start off with and he begrudgingly replied, Splicers. I was dreading tomorrow but I didn't complain. I was the makeshift intruder here, somehow.

I was gonna sleep near the Deadheads by Thomas when I saw something scurry past me, I thought it might be an insect but insects don't have red glowing eyes....right? I followed it around when I saw something written on it's back-"WICKED". I shuddered after reading it for some reason and asked Thomas about it. He called them beetle blades and that's how the Creators can watch us. I had lingering thoughts about it though. The Maze, WICKED, Grievers, now the Creators. I had a horrible feeling that whatever is going on here is really, really bad. Everything here all felt really familiar or completely out of place like myself. I felt like I was supposed to be somewhere else, not here. I told Thomas about it and he said he'll talk to Newt and Minho about it. He did feel that me suddenly arriving here wasn't an accident and that I should be there at the Gathering tomorrow. Looking up at the stars long after midnight, something inside of me came alive, maybe my brain, whatever it was I got it. A name. Smiling to myself, I whispered my name to no one yet everyone, Alexandria.
