Find Me. (The Maze Runner, Newt Fanfic)

1- The Arrival

My eyelids open slowly as I searched my surrounding. The room was pitch black. I groaned as I pushed myself upright against the wall. What happened... My whole body is aching...

I began to fumble around to see if anything was there in the cage with me. I felt cold metal with holes in certain spots. I wasn't in a room. I was in a cage. I stretched my hand further to feel something or someone. Anything that was alive, like me. My hand brushed against something that felt like cloth.

"Nobody here but me. Great." I sighed. I put my hand against the side of the cage, trying to stand up while the sound of the gears screeching as the cage moved upwards.

A sharp breath escaped from my lips as the box halted, causing my body to hit the bottom of the cage. Ow. Stupid cage.

There was a great rumbling sound from above with voices of boys. The doors creaked and the warmth of sunlight shone on my face. I immediately covered my face with my hand shielding the sunlight from my eyes.

A crowd of boys clustered around the box leaning in for a better look. The cage shook furiously when someone jumped into the cage beside me.

"Bloody hell. It's a shucking girl!" He yelled out into the almost empty box, which echoed. His voice had a thick accent to it.

The boys above erupted into cheers of excitement.

"I call dibs on her!"

"A girl?"

"Is she hot?"

"She's cute."

"Shut your shucking holes!" A voice roared. He then turned to face me. He had blonde hair that casually covered his forehead with a square jaw and dark chocolate brown eyes. He was also quite tall and muscular. "Sorry bout' that. I'm Newt."

"I'm...," I couldn't remember anything which was fine but not remembering my own name?  "...I don't remember."

"You'll know in a day or two. It's normal." He said kindly, as if he was reassuring me. "I'm sending her up!" He yelled towards a boy with dark hair. He held my waist and lifted me upwards; the boy grabbed my arms and pulled me out of the box. I staggered as the sunlight dazzled me.

"Thanks..." I muttered.

I looked around at my surroundings. There were 20 to 30 boys. Some looked around 16 to 18. The crowd of boys of different ages chattered among themselves when they saw me.

"Slim it!" The crowd of boys stopped talking. "What's your name greenie." The boy who pulled me up said.

I opened my mouth to tell him that I didn't know but was cut short by Newt.

"She doesn't know, Gally."

 

So that's his name. Gally.

"Welcome to the Glade, greenie." A masculine voice boomed behind me. I jerked my head. A dark boy stood in front of me with a short, chubby boy stood beside him rocking forwards and backwards on his toes. He must be their leader.

"I'm Alby. Newt's gonna be taking you on a tour tomorrow. You'll learn some things about the Glade piece by piece. Your new life begins tomorrow. Until the next time I see you, don't get yourself killed."

What. Don't get myself killed? Who does he think he is? Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't survive like them. I'll show them what I'm capable of.

       "Hey! What do you mean not to get myself killed! Just cause I'm a girl doesn't mean you can look down on me!" I raised my voice as I curled my hands into a fist and my knuckles turned white.
