"Alright greenie there are some things you need to know if you're going to live in the Glade. If you don't follow these rules you will be banished at sundown which is basically dead." Alby said after the boys had gotten him out of the box too.
"Alby you're not bloody helping can't you see if she's already scared" the blonde boy said defending me. "I'm Newt" he said turning towards me and sticking his hand out to shake mine.
"Fine Newt then you take her on the tour and to get her settled tomorrow she will start trying out jobs." Alby grunted and walked away.
"Sorry about that bloody shank greenie, but it looks like you're going to be stuck with me for the day." Newt smiled
"What is a shank and why does everyone keep calling me Greenie?" I asked.
Newt chuckled "You'll get used to talking like a glader soon enough. And you are the newest greenie which is why we are calling you Greenie. It's not like we know you're bloody name yet anyway"
I nodded. I also noticed he said bloody a lot but the more he talked, the more his strange accent started to grow on me and making me want to hear him talk even more.
"Well I guess we will start here" he said and gestured his arms. "this is the box it's located in the center of the Glade. Every week it brings up fresh supplies and once a month it brings a new greenie."
Newt and I walked along for a while; I noticed he had a limp but I didn't point it out. Throughout the tour, he showed me where they kept animals, slaughtered them, where they grow their food, cook and their graveyard. He called the graveyard area the deadheads, that's the only name I remember. During the tour I had only listen to the sound of Newts voice not really what he was saying.
"Last on our tour is the homestead. It's where we keep our sick and it's also where the keepers sleep." He said as we approached the largest building in the Glade.
"Where does everyone else sleep?" I asked
"Well they sleep in Hammocks set up in the shade near the kitchen. However since you are the only girl, as you may have guessed, you will probably take the extra room in the homestead."
"Gotcha" I said and looked at the ground I don't really know what else to say, what did I do to deserve to be put here?
"One more thing well I guess three more things are the rules of the bloody Glade. One do your part, you will get to try out all of the jobs of the next few days, two never harm another glader and the three never go beyond those walls" he said and let out a breath.
"What's your job?" I asked
He cocked his head slightly to the side in confusion but answered, "Well I'm second in command and I'm also keeper of the fields."
Newt is so nice that I didn't really think she would be so important probably since the leader, Alby, is so rude. I suddenly felt very intimidated by Newt.
Newt chuckled and said "come on it's getting dark, you don't want to miss the bonfire in your honor to you?"
I was about to answer when a loud screeching of metal made me stop I turned around to see the walls beginning to close. "How is that even possible?" I wondered out loud.
"Ask the bloody bastards who put us in here because none of us haven't got a clue" he replied. "Alright come on frypan should have some thing cooked up for dinner by now."
We walked over to the little shack covered in pots and pans and stood in line to get dinner. A boy who I think is called frypan served everyone soup. Newt stayed by me the whole time and introduced me to many people none of which I still remember.
After dinner everyone headed over to the bonfire Newt got dragged into a different conversation and I went and sat at the base of the tree to clear my head. 1 million questions were going around in my head at one time and they gave me a headache.
"What are you doing out here all alone shank?" I heard and looked up to see a boy with olive skin and black hair. "Woah" he said "you're a girl"
"Yep that seems to be the one thing I know about myself" I said and gave him a small smile.
"Ahh you must be the new greenie." He said. "I'm Minho, keeper of the runners." He said. I heard the word keeper and felt a little intimidated again.
"Well Minho, it's nice to meet you but-" my sentence was cut short when a wave of whispering screams erupted in my head. I grabbed my temples trying to make out anything the whispering screams were saying. But I understood nothing until one word stuck out.
Annabelle
"Annabelle?" I whispered.
"Are you okay greenbean?" Minho asked me.
I jumped up to my feet "Annabelle. My name it came back to me. My names Annabelle!" I exclaimed.
