The smell of wood had awoken her. It was kind of nostalgic, almost like breathing nature it self.

Everything was in a blur, there were blob looking people which looked like they were observing her like a scientist astounded by a test subject. It kind of freaked her out.

It took a few moments till her eye sight had sharpened, and now she could see that those 'blob' looking people were actually humans-Newt to be precise, Including the dark skinned teen from awhile ago.

"Could you tell us your name? Greenie." The guy asked.

Staring at the dark skinned man, Luise gave him a judging look.

"I think it's you whose supposed to be introducing here." Luise eyed the guy."I can't keep on describing you in adjectives when I'm thinking, that's just plain wrong."

Newt had chuckled at Luise' statement, earning him a look from the guy beside him.

The man had sighed, then crossed his arms afterwards.

"My name is Alby." Alby looked down on Luise. "What's yours?"

Luise looked delighted. "It's Luise." After a moment or so, Luise shot another look, fixing the beige colored covers as she prepared herself to stand up.

"Why can't I remember anything." Luise glared, all she could do was either throw daggers at people or glare at them for she could not find a reason to trust a group of men in an unknown place.

She made it a goal to not be looked down on.

Alby grinned, for the first time. Making it awkward for them both.

"It's the only thing they let us keep. " uncrossing his arms, he walked to the door." Well It's time for you to get on your shuck legs to tour the glade."

Shuck? Glade? Luise looked puzzled at the thought that they've made their own vocabolary.

"You'll get used to it, Greenie." Newt encouraged, flashing a grin towards her.

"I have a name you know." Luise reminded as he followed them outside.

Opening the door, Luise checked this 'glade' that they were very much proud of.

It was a spacious field with lush green meadows. There were teenage boys who looked like her age doing whatever they were doing. There were varying stations on the big space of green. For example, an open kitchen-Near it was a small farm. A few meters from the both was a fenced cage for live stock. There was also a forest far away at the opposite direction.

As she looked around, the only thing she found mysterious were the walls that towered over everything. It made her feel like livestock trapped in a cage the more she looked at it. Looking down she saw that in amidst those walls were gates that stood in the middle, and in 'that' middle was an open gap which leads to the unknown.

Looking at Alby, Luise pointed at the gaps.

"What are those?" Luise asked, bewildered.

Alby seemed to ignore what she said, even Newt looked like he had suddenly became deaf. Ignoring her gaze.

"Why are you ignoring me, why won't you answer my question?" She approached the two.

Suddenly a man had pushed her slightly to the side, almost tripping her over to the hard ground. His act of belligerence made Luise wonder if she did something to tick the man off.

Luise looked at the suspect, he had dirty blonde hair cut short. A Nose which looked like a potato. Mouth cringing, eyebrows furrowed as he crossed his arms, looking down at her making her look inferior.

"Stop asking questions, Greenie." He sniggered, "It's for your own good."

Alby had intervened before a fight had begun. Probably because Luise felt intimidated by the guy.

"Gally, That was the wrong thing to do." Alby stared at Gally giving him this look that he had to obey him. "You better apologize to the greenie." He commanded, Gally rolling his eyes.

"I don't know why I suddenly had the urge to push her, something tells me I've seen her somewhere before." He paused. "Hey look, I'm sorry for pushing you. I ju-, Nevermind." He looked at Luise, observing her.

He had took five step backwards, stopping only to say something.

"I'm keeping my eye on you, so better be ready if you do anything funny."

And with that he left.

"What's up with him?" Luise asked, keeping her head off those walls and unto the 'Gally' dude.

"His name's Gally, Keeper of the builders. He's not a bad guy ya know?" Newt smiled, "He just finds it difficult to trust new people." He explained.

"Wait you haven't answered my question." Luise reminded, questions rummaging in her head just like before.

"It's better if you don't know anything about it." Alby answered. "Newt give her the tour." With that, Alby had left Luise with Newt to be toured around.

"First day Greenie." He smiled, "Better be prepared."

Prepared for what?
