The Gladers •{Maze Runner}•

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."
