Cora's POV

i woke up, not remembering anything about falling asleep... i looked around to see a familiar box, i saw some bad glimpses of memories...boys, im with scientists...were putting them in water, once they were out we put them in this box...thats all i remember about the scientists.

think cora, THINK! 

I tried to scan for anymore memories about how i got myself into this box, i tried to stand up but soon fell back onto my knees landing on some metal scraps, cutting up my leg a bit.

great can't remember how i got myself into this situation, anything i do right now will just get me into a bigger mess.

i slowly crawled over against a wall wincing each time i put my bloody knee down on the cold metal of the box. i looked up before i tried to scan the dark area.

nothing...great.

------

i sat in the box for almost half an hour when it seemed to stop, i stood up and clutched at my knee from the sudden movement, then in a swift movement...what seemed like a lid of the box was lifted to show the brightness of the sky.

i shut my eyes and groaned at the sudden contact of light to my eyes. i squinted and looked up at the sudden light until my eyes adjusted and saw about 40 to 50 boys standing looking around, their faces pricked something in my mind but i couldnt remember all of them.

scientist, their scientist....Newt...Thomas...

"TERESA" i suddenly yelled remembering what i had done to my friend, i pushed my back up against the box wall and covered my face remembering what i had done. feeling stupid, ashamed to be called her best friend.

"you've gotta be shucking with me right now, they both yelled the same thing out...what next we get another freaking thomas!" i boy spoke in a british accent, i suddenly looked at the boy as it settled on his features, his dirty blond hair, dirt covered his facial features...

"N-newt?" i croaked out,looking around shocked that voice was mine. i gripped at my neck before letting go and breathing slowly. One of the boys by that time had jumped in, he looked tough and not someone i wanted to mess with.

soon enough this boy swept me off my feet and handed me up to another boy, my feet touched the grass and it felt nice. i looked around before becoming scared of the situation, 50 to 1, ive got to find teresa.

i started pushing out of the group and scanned the area, if i was a boy where would i put a fragile girl... i saw a kind of housing in the corner of my eye before i sprinted off towards it, i stumbled and fell on my knee.

i stopped only about half a meter away from the boys, i guess one of my legs were asleep. i gripped at my knee before rocking back and forth, once id soothed my knee a bit i pushed myself up a bit to see the boys departing.

i scanned everyone that walked past, some walked in pairs talking about Dibs-ing something. i looked up to 4 boy who looked 16-18 standing right infront of me. i crawled back further away from them.

One of the older looking boys, who has a shaved head and dark skin crouched down with the one i called Newt right next to him, crouching seeming more approachable being on the same height.

"I-i..." my voice wouldnt come out, only in croaks, it seems like i used a lot to yell out Teresa.. i looked down before looking up to them.

"you called my name, how'd you know who i was?" Newt questioned as One of the boys who i didnt notice run off earlier come back with a cup of water, i accepted the water before drinking it in small mouth fulls before i felt my throat seem to open up more.

i pointed to the boy next to the asian, muscular boy...they muttered stuff before he realised i was pointing to him i was going to say something when the asian boy striked something, he was the boy i saw in the water..

"Newt? I-i dont know, you just remind me of a boy, well a man whom i knew before the box....Also a boy named Thomas and my Friend Teresa...i remember a bit before but other stuff comes in sparse day dreams." i looked up slowly to the boy before the dark skin boy pushed Newt over.

"Names Alby, greenie,Thats Minho and Thomas" he pointed up the muscular boy then the scrawnier boy. " and since you seem to remeber our pal Newt he'll show you around the Glade tomorrow instead of me" Alby patted Newt on the back before he stood up.

"Chuck!" Alby yelled and out came a small circular looking kid, his curls came bouncing along with him. i was then lifted to my feet by alby and made to stand.

"this is chucky, he'll show you where you can sleep tonight, after that he'll take you to see the Med-jacks about that Knee of yours" And with that Alby seemed done with me, Minho walked past messing up my blonde hair before waving to thomas.

"alright Greenie, i guess you'll be hanging around with us for the rest of the night" Thomas started chatting to Chuck as they walked off towards a area with loads of sleeping bags around. i zoned out from whatever they were talking about as i scanned the area, before i saw a farm...i ran over to the Farm area and crouched in front of the pig pen, i stuck my hand through the pen fences and touched a pig.

"Greenie what're you doing?" Chuck and thomas came over asking what i was doing, i pointed to the pigs before standing up and actually taking in my appearence, i had a loose grey tank top on with some khaki jeans on. my blonde hair was long and rather messy... i was a complete mess right now.

"ah lets just take you to the Med-jacks Greenie, by the way...do you remember your name" chuck came up behind me before taking my hand and leading me towards the house looking thing.

"cora, my names cora and i think ill be fine, since resources shouldnt be wasted, just show me where i can sleep tonight" i mumbled to chuck making sure thomas didnt hear, something about chuck made me feel safe.

"hey chuck lets run from tom" i whispered before chuck burst into laughter, i wonder why, this kid seemed to pretty random from what ive seen and very talkative.

"Tommy is a runner, he runs out in the maze, he's probably faster than both of us." Chuck seemed  pretty loud, i peeked around to see thomas smirking to himself, i turned back around and followed chuck to my bag.

------------

we arrived at the bags as chuck, thomas and i were looking for a place to sleep tonight chuck seemed to want to only talk about dinner.

"ah so just a fair warning, frypans food... probably isnt the best example of food" Chuck  giggled to himself, i stopped to look at chuck as i smiled. 

"So the Greenie does smile" thomas spoke looking up from his bag, as chuck kept rambling on and finding the perfect place for his bag it seemed like a good oppertunity to talk to thomas.

"uh, it just seems Chuck is so optimistic for being in a giant maze" i smiled as he finally waved us over to move closer to his bag.

"yeah, i think he is only around 12...we all have to grow up once being thown in a giant maze." he had attempted to lighten the mood a bit with a 'Ha' at the end but i couldnt stop thinking that i could've been the one that threw them into the maze.

i could've thrown them all in....
