I woke up as if in a nightmare, sweat pouring down my face."where am I?" I thought, suddenly the lift started moving upwards, I tried to get to my feet but the force and speed of the lift made me fall on my butt. I unsteadily get to my feet, I walk around trying to find an exit but all I seem to be doing is walking around in one big square. A box, the words just popped into my head. I look up and see nothing just a black roof, a loud alarm sound goes off and panic sets in. I don't even know where I am and something is giving off my location with an alarm. There's crates all around the box with clothes and animals. I immediately dive behind a box and hope that no one can find me.

The box finally grinds to a halt, I'm still in the crouched position behind one of the crates. I hear voices male voices and suddenly a bright light breakers through the cracks in the roof. I can't see anything, all I can do is shield my eyes with my arm. The voices are louder when the ceiling which turns out to be the lid of the box opens. The voices are deafening as I try to be quiet but I fell over at the wrong time and sent a crate flying. I blocked my ears to try and block the sounds of laughing and shouting.
"It's a girl!"
"She'll be a slopper for sure, she can barely arrive at a place without knocking something over!"
"Shut your holes! We need to get her out!"
"I call dibs!"
"I said shut your holes!"
Someone jumps down into the box, I cower into one of the corners. I do not want to be here, I want to go home. The boy just keeps on walking forward and says, ' it's okay, I'm not going to hurt you. And certainly not one of them shanks up there." Shank?, what on earth was a shank?! The boy helps me up and we walk out of the corner. The boy turns round and says, " I'm Newt, what's your name?"
"I...I can't remember, why can I not remember?"
"Don't worry, you'll get your name back soon, maybe a few days" Newt says
"Alby! Chuck down the rope would ya?"
"Okay!" Says the kid who I presume is Alby
The rope comes down and Newt gestures me to put my foot through the hole, I get yanked out of the box and I'm on the soft green grass. Newt comes up next and says, " welcome to the Glade."
