I awoke with a start. I was in pitch black. A weird smell of oil and greases surrounded me.

I wish I could say my first thought was of my family or my friend but I couldn't remember them at all. I searched my brain trying but to no avail to find something out about myself. A sudden jump and the noise of wheels turning signalled my prisons steady climb.

Prison? Why did the word prison come to mind? The almost lulling sway back and forth of the prison settled a weird calm over me.

with a new sense of ease I decided to explore my foot smelling cage. Again cage? Why cage and prison? I don't even know where I am why do cage and prison come to mind?

slowly I stand up on my shaking dead legs my hand reaches out behind me where I was leaning on cold rusty metal. I felt up until the metal turned and started to make the roof I then felt to my left following the wall along to the side until I came to another corner just like the one I was sat in but this one had boxes in the corner I felt around the medium sized boxes maybe they have a torch in or a weapon I could use?

I grabbed the criss cross of the box and pull them open. I reach inside a soft material like thing is on top I move it aside trying to find something to help me. a sharp pain shoots through my hand as I realise I found something sharp. Maybe I could use it as a weapon I pull my hurt hand out sucking on the deep wound as my other hand moves around trying to find a handle or something of the sharp thing. . My hand finds the cold handle and grabs it pulling it through the material and out the box.

Perfect.

It was light and easy to move around. I swing it in a quick figure of 8 loving the feel of it in my hand. I decide, after a couple more swings, that I should carry on looking, no feeling around my prison. After a quick feel I found that I was in fact in a box. A little square moving box. Great. Note the sarcasm.

I decided there wasn't anything worth my time so I sat in the boring box swinging the weapon in different ways. As I try to search my brain for any use full information.

Where I was?

Who I am?

Who were my mum, dad, sibling?

Did I have parent?

Was I an orphan?

Anything, anyone? I tried to remember faces names places but nothing came up. I thought I had been here for around 30 minutes, I wonder how long I'll be here for? As if on cue the box lurched to a stop i fell forward almost landing on the wepon.

this is it. the moment of truth. i get to find out why i am here.

the sound of metal on metal came from above me as a single ray of light burst through the celing i could see the box now it was like a metal crate with boxes stacked up in the corner as the light reached my eyes i lifted the wepon to sheild them. sudden gasps and shouts come from above.

"what is it?"

"what the shuck is happening?"

"i bet the greenies klunked their pants."

"SHUT YOUR HOLES." A strong brish acent came from above as the talking lowered to a murmur. i heard a clang of metal as someone jumped in the boz with me. i imediatly but the wepon infront of them wincing as the suin hit my eyes. i fought the urge to pull my hand back up to my eyes.

"whoa whoa whoa, calm down it okay. you're safe here." the british acent cooed towards me.

"what?"

"what is it?"

"it's a shucking girl!" the british boy called up. he ran a hand through his blonde hair. shoot he is gorgeous! he had dark brown eyes beutifull blonde messy hair and oh hell his cheek bones. stop it you can't admire you're capturer. but damn!

"look," the boy said snapping me back from my thoughts. "im newt, okay i havent got anything on me i wont hurt you. i promise."

"whats he doing"

"shuck she has a knife"

"what!"

"where... where am i?" i was suprised my voice came out so well considering how parched my throwt was.

"this is the glade. this is where we live if you put the knife down we can get you out of here and we can show you." i reluctantly put the knife down. by my feet and newt visibly relaxed he took a small step towards me and quickly kicked the knofe away from my feet.

"okay, thats good . so like i said im newt." he held his hand out for me to shake it. i looked down at it and shakily took it. i know this is where i say my name but i couldn't remember it.

"can you remeber your name? its the only thing we can remember. " whats he talking about we?

"i... i an't remeber anything." i look around frantic. i need to get out of here.

"thats okay. SEND DOWN A ROPE" newt called up to the people above after a few seconds of shuffaling around, a rope with a loop at the end was thrown down. newt gestered for me to go up first. so i stood in the rope and seconds later i was pulled up. thousands of hands grabbed my clothes and pulled me up carelessly. i useed my upper body strength and pulled myself up over the edge of the box. i rolled over onto my stomach and looked up. loads of boys from 14 to 18 stared down at me with loads of different emmotions concern, confussion some even looked down at me with hate burning in their eyes. i sat up and the boys took another step back i looked around and saw newt pulling himself up out of the box. damn his body. stop it ada!

"Ada!" i shouted the boys looked at me confussion wristen all over their faces. "my names Ada." i said, quickly all the boys smilled down at me.

"ada!" some of them cheered whilst others walked away. suddenly a dark skinned tall boy who looked around 18 came to the front of the group and everyone went silent sape a few people wispering.

"get up." the boy said im guessing he was the leader from all the stares the boys where giving him.

"Please would be nice" i said with a little smirk as i stood up. brushing the dirt of of my clothes. then i took in what i was wearing. a pail cream top that whent to my elbows and some denim shorts. im going to have to get some trousers and a jumper for winter.

"meh" the leader said as i looked up. "im alby welcome to your new home yada yada yada. newt we need a gathering." alby looked bored then looked to newt who i realised had pulled himself out opf the box and had joined us in the middle of the circle.

"My new home?" i asked looking around at my new home.

"okay we can have a gathering in half an hour. i'll show ada around. don't worry you can have the tour tommorow." he said turning to me. " come on ill show you around."

"ANY OF YOU SHANKS TOUCH THE GIRL ILL PERSONALLY THROW YOU OF THE CLIF" alby shouted at the rest of them.

"awww so you do have a soft spot for me." i smilled up at alby before newt pulled my wrist away from the steaming leader.

"thats our klunk for brains leader. dont worry he will soften up." i looked around

"so, we are stuck here?"

"yep" newt popped the "p" looking around as if for the first time. i take a good look around it was a massive green area with trees in one corner i then noticed the massive grey ivy covered walls they went around the whole place with openings in them.

"so whats beyond the walls?" i ask

"you dont wanna know" newt turned away a pained expression crossing his face. i decided to leave it and follwed him around the rest of my new home
