My eyes snapped open. A cool metal texture pressed itself against my back. I felt my body rise up. I stood up in the cadge walking around it. My head spun to a creature outside the cage, barking a screeching. It hung onto it, reaching out a hand to grab me with. I screamed and climbed a box. "HELP! HELP ME PLEASE!" The cadge rose higher, and higher. I stepped down from the boxes. The smell of sweat entered my nose. How long had I been here? The box stopped moving, causing a BANG. I fell flat on my face. The cool metal bars cooling down the sweat in my face. I turned and faced the roof of the cadge. It opened with a moan, Light blinded me, so I closed my eyes. I heard someone jump into the cage. I kept them shut, fearing the consequences if they realised I'm alive. "It's a girl!" Said a voice from the cadge. It was light, with an accent that made my insides melt. "Get her up Newt!" Cried another voice, this one was different, it was deep, and demanding, I felt a safe feeling in my body. When I felt someone's hands grasp my shoulder my eyes snapped open. The person who grasped my shoulders immediately moved his hand away. He had short brown hair and high raised eyebrows, as if someone farted. "Well hello there Greenie." He smirked. I punched him in the stomach, making him fall back. I placed a knee on his chest, holding him from rising up, an arm on his throat and a fist ready to punch. "Who are you? Where am I? And what am I doing here?" I asked him. The guy just smiled. "Aren't you an eager one." I raised my fist higher, ready to strike. "Enough Gally. You Greenbean." The deep voice called. I looked up, and saw a dark skinned teenager, probably 16, 17, with tattered overalls and a grey shirt underneath. "Yeah, you!' He said. "Get off him." I got off the kid called Gally. "Newt help her out." Said the dark teen. Another boy, this one with blond wispy hair, a brown singlet and green jeans, walked over to me and led me to the boxes. "I can help myself!' I exclaimed as I climbed the boxes, up to the ground. I scanned the area in case I saw anyone familiar, but I didn't. I didn't even know what familiar would be. It was at this moment when I realised that I was surrounded by boys. Not one or two, but at least 11. "Look what the cat dragged in." Said one voice

"Hey there Shank."

"I call dibs before all of you shuck-heads."

"You guys are such shucking slithheads." said another.

"SILENCE!" Cried the dark teen. He moved towards me. "Name's Alby Green Bean, welcome to the glade." That word echoed in my brain. Glade? What the hell is a glade? "Can you tell me your name?" He asked me. I looked up at him. My name, my name. My heart started beating fast. I couldn't remember my own name. Something in my head was thumping making my insides shake. "I-i don't know... Why don't I know?" I asked Alby. He rested a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry Greenie, most of us don't remember our names right away, it will take a day, give or take a few. It's the only thing they let us remember here." He told me.

"Who's they?" I asked.

"That's the thing, we don't know. All we know is that someone put us here, and we've been trying to bust ourselves out." Alby replied. "But-" I looked around the 'Glade'. It was a green land area. Like a park, with hammocks, a pit, a bonfire place, and little shacks made of sticks and logs. "I can tell you need rest. Newt will take you to the homestead, from there, your new life begins." Newt walks towards me. "Hey there love." Love? That word made me jump as if a trickle of cold water slid down my back. "What did Alby mean by busting out of here, why are there walls? What?" 

"Shhhh, Ok I can tell you want a lot answered, just ask me slowly." I roll my eyes. We walked down away from the glade. "What did Alby mean by breaking out?" I asked slowly. We stopped walking and Newt pointed around us. "These walls aren't ordinary walls love."He says. "On each side there's a door, a door that leads us into a maze, and every maze has an end."

"Who put us here?" I asked Newt. 

"No one knows. All of us woke up in the box, with no memory of anything except our name." We continued to walk in silence. "Alby, how did he become the leader." 

"Well, I won't call him a leader, he just keep things in order, he was the first to come up, Each month a new greeine comes up and Alby was here, a lone. Until a next greenie came a month later. Imagine, a month with no one familiar in this bloody place." 

"What about you, what do you do in the glade?" I ask him. He smiles. "Me, well I'm a gardener/farmer. Also, Second in command." He stopped at a room covered with beds. "This is the homestead, you should get some rest, tonight'll be all about you." He smiled, making my cheeks blush red. At that moment I knew, I had feelings for Newt.
