Chapter 1

I was woken up by a blinding light above me. When my eyes adgusted to the light I could see that I was in a big box/crate like thing.

I looked up towards the opening of it. There were boys standing all around it.

Suddenly one of them jumped down into the box and stood right in front of me.
He had dark hair, brown eyes, and a darker complection. He didn't say anything.
He just stared at me, looking confused.

So many questions went through my mind.
Where am I?
How did I get here?
Who are these people?
Can I trust them?
Will I be able to get back home?

Home... I couldn't remember anything about it. I-.. I couldn't remember anything at all.

"Where am I? Who are you?" I asked.
My throat was dry and at first it hurt to talk.
I couldn't remember the last time I'd talked, so it was weird hearing my voice.

"You'll get answers soon. Now come with me" the teenage boy said before holding out his hand to me. I slowly took it, and he helped me out of the crate-like thing.

The first things I noticed once I was out were the huge walls that surrounded the area we were in. It looked like we were trapped in a cage.

Were we trapped? Was this just a dream?
No.. this couldn't be a dream.. Everything felt so real.

"Welcome to the Glade" said the boy, who helped me out of the box.
I looked back at him.

"What is this place? Why am I here!?" I asked, getting angry.

"I told you you'll get answers soon. Follow me" he said before waving for me to follow him.

I sighed, before following him, knowing I didn't really have a choice.

He led me through crowd of boys. Some of them smiled at me. Some of them even smirked at me when I looked at them. Then others shot me dirty looks or just stared.

We kept walking until we were far away from the box. The crowd of boys had gotten back to, well, whatever it was they were doing before I showed up.

"The name's Minho" the boy finally said, "what's yours?"

"Uh.. I-..I don't know. I can't remember anything.. Why-" before I could continue he said, "Don't worry. That's normal. It happens to all of us. I'm sure you'll remember your name soon."

I was about to start asking questions when I heard someone say "This is weird."

I looked to see a boy walking on the other side of Minho. He had dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. He wore a thin tan hoodie and had an odd accent. He was skinny and a bit shorter than Minho.

"You took the words right outta my mouth" said Minho.

"We've never had a bloody girl sent up before.." said the boy with the accent, "Do you think it could mean somethin'?"

"I sure hope not, unless that somethin's good" Minho replied.

Another boy walked up to us. He had blonde hair that was shorter than the first boy's and brown eyes. He was also taller and much bulkier than the first boy.
"This isn't right" he said.

"Good to know we're all in agreement" said Minho.

"What do you think this could mean for us? It has to mean something." said the second boy with blonde hair.

"Is there anything different about her?.. I mean other than the fact that she's a girl?" asked the boy with the accent.

Suddenly they all stopped walking, and I ran into Minho. He acted as if he hadn't even noticed.

The three of them started talking about me and the whole situation like I wasn't even there.

I cleared my throat before saying, "Excuse me! I'm standing right here."
They all turned and looked at me.

"Can you tell us your name?" The first blonde haired boy asked me.
"She can't remember it yet" Minho answered for me.

They all just stood there looking at me as if I were a mystery.

"W-well.. why don't you tell me your names?" I asked while looking at each of the blonde haired boys.

"Oh. Yeah. Sorry, I'm Gally" said the second boy. He held out his hand and I shook it.

I looked at the boy with the accent.
The more I looked at him, the more.. familiar.. he seemed. It was like I had met him before.. "I'm Newt" the boy said while holding out his hand like the other boy had.

When I shook it a slight chill ran up my arm, and I felt my cheeks turning pink, but I quickly shook it off.

What the heck was that? I just met this guy... or.. have I really met him before?
Do I know him?
Did I like him before we both ended up here?

Ugh. So many questions! I need answers!
"Can you give me answers now?" I blurted out, "What is this place? Why am I here? A-are we trapped here!?"

"Woah. Woah. Woah" Minho said while holding up his hands, "Slow down. Just let me find Alby. He'll give ya the tour and answer all your questions."

He turned to look at Gally and Newt.
"You guys seen Alby?" he asked them.

"Last time I saw him he was in the kitchen stuffin' his face. He hasn't been in a very good mood today. I don't guess he's in any hurry to meet the newbie" said Gally.

"Ya know.. maybe we should have someone else give her the tour" said Newt.

We all looked at him.
"Why?" Minho asked.

"Well, Alby isn't the nicest person in the world.. and you know how he treats greenies with lots of bloody questions. Plus, like Gally said, he hasn't been in a good mood today."

I smiled.
It was nice to see not everyone here was completely horrible.

"Alright" Minho said, "but I can't do it. I have to go run the maze."
The maze?
"Maze?" I asked.

"Sh! Hang on" Minho snapped.
I rolled my eyes and groaned.

"Shouldn't you of already left?" Newt asked.
"Yeah. I kinda slept in then I just decided to stay and see the greenie, b-but that's not important!" he said, waving his hands.
Newt laughed.

"One of ya'll can give her the tour" said Minho.

"Newt's the one who doesn't want the girl's feelings to be hurt. He should do it" Gally said.
"Good that" Minho replied.
Then he ran off.

"Don't have too much fun with the girl" Gally said, patting Newt on the back.
I rolled my eyes.

"So... what did Minho mean by.. 'the maze'?" I asked.
Newt smiled.
"Well, he meant.. 'the maze'" Newt replied.
I rolled my eyes again.

"I know that. Why d-" I started but Newt interrupted.
"Ya know you roll your eyes a lot." he said while pointing a finger at me and smiling.

"Where is the maze?" I asked, ignoring what he'd said.
All I cared about at the moment was getting answers.

"Why is Minho running it.. and um yeah.. Where am I?!" I asked.

Newt pointed at a big door - like opening in one of the walls.
"The maze is out there" he said.
