Newtmas

Chapter 1

 (This story will all be in Thomas' POV, unless stated otherwise. Disclaimer for each chapter is in description. This is my first time attempting anything like this, so please no hate :D)

I wake up in the box. I don’t know who I am or how I got here. I remember that my name is Thomas but that is all I remember. Sure I know stuff like math, and how to ride a bike, but anything personal, faces, names, memories, anything that makes me, well me, is gone. Hang on. I’m in a box. And the box Is moving. The box is moving straight up towards nothing. Great.

“HELP!! HELP ME, WHERE AM I? LET ME OUT! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!” I scream and scream. I need to get out of here. I need to know what on Earth is going on. Suddenly the box stops moving and I stumble back into a load of crates. What is going on!? The darkness above seems to slide away, revealing a large group of boys staring down at me like the seagulls in Finding Nemo. How do I remember Finding Nemo? Two of them open the top of the box and one of them jumps down with a grimace.

 “come on Greenie, rise and shine” he says mockingly as he drags me from the ground and motions for me to follow him out of the box. I reach up and haul myself up, almost slipping at the last moment , only saved by the other boy who opened the box. He smiles at me warmly as he helps me up, I simply nod my gratitude, still completely dumbfounded by the whole situation.

“Hey, let me through!” comes a voice from behind the boys. A few of them make way for a slightly older boy who extends his hand to me. “Hi, I’m Alby, welcome to the Glade” he says, motioning to the area surrounding us with his free hand. I take the extended hand and shake it.

“I’m Thomas” I reply roughly taking in my new surroundings. I drop his hand and he smiles at me.

“Well then Thomas follow me” Is this guy serious?! I don’t even know who I am and he expects me to trust and follow him?

“No, where am I? Why can’t I remember anything?” I ask, slightly irritated by Alby’ calmness. He sighs and turns back to look at me. I just look at him expectantly. He sighs again, more irritated.

“I already said, this is the Glade, that’s what we call this place, within the walls. We don’t know its location in the World, but we call it the Glade, so that’s all you need to know. We don’t know why we can’t remember anything, but we do know that it happens to all of us. The only thing they let us keep is our first names.” Well then. That totally sheds light on the situation, thanks! Note the sarcasm.

“They? Who are ‘they’?” I ask, again annoyed by the lack of information provided.

“Whoever the hell put us here!” exclaimed the boy who jumped down into the box. He does not like me!

“Slim it Gally!” warned the guy who helped me. “we were all this confused when we came, so stop being a shuck-faced shank and deal with it.” I have no idea as to what most of that meant, but I nod my thanks again. Gally looks down and mumbles something before walking off.

“thanks Newt” says Alby. Newt. He’s nice, and doesn’t seem to hate me. He is extremely handsome and muscular, wait what!? I quickly divert my attention back to Alby. “Sorry about Gally, but come on follow me, I’ll show you around. I nod and follow him silently. Well this is certainly interesting.
