The Gladers •{Maze Runner}•
35 parts Complete The box gained more speed and the sirens grew louder. Red and green lights flashed above my head and I saw the ceiling getting closer. The box screeched to a halt, barely avoiding crashing in to the ceiling of the tunnel I was in.
I sat in silence, my heart racing. The light went out and I was surrounded by darkness. "Hello? Is there anyone there?"
Gears squealed and groaned, and the ceiling began to open. A light poured in from the widening crack, and I covered my eyes instinctively, crawling back until my back hit a wall. The doors opened fully and I heard voices.
"What is it?"
"Move out of the way, shuck-face! I can't see!"
"Is it another person?"
"Two Greenies in two days!?"
"I think it's a girl!"
"You're crazy, slinthead! Why would they send a girl?"
Then a more authoritative voice silenced the remarks. "Move, ya shanks! Lemme get in there to get 'em out of the bloody Box."
I heard a thud and the box swayed. The footsteps came closer to me and I uncovered my eyes. A boy looked down at me, his brown eyes wide in surprise.
"Bloody hell! It's a girl!" He said and stepped closer to me. I pressed myself back against the wall.
Surprised shouts came from above. "Why the shuck is there a girl?"
"Who are you? And where am I? Where did you take me?" I shouted and pushed myself farther away from him.
"The name's Newt, Greenie. Welcome to the Glade."
