DISCLAIMER- all of these ideas are the wonderful JAMES DASHNERs. I am not capable of coming up with such a great book idea. I only own willow:) hope you enjoy

I headed off into the corner that was full of trees. It seemed like the most relaxing place to be at the moment. No one seemed to be lingering near the woods.

I decided to start my hike right through the middle of the trees. Leafs crunched beneath my feet with every step I took, and branches reached out trying to grab at my skin. Before I knew it I was in the very back corner of the wooded area. Looking at my surroundings I realized I was surrounded by makeshift, grave markers?

Am I in a graveyard?! Do they have a graveyard in this place? My head popped up at the sound of the twig snapping. It was getting darker outside. The sky casting a blue shadow on the trees.

"Who's there?" I stammered. I didn't mean for it to come out that shaky. I waited a while for someone to reveal themselves. I continued inspecting the graves looking at all of the different names. Two more twigs snapped right after another. A tanned boy stepped out from behind a tree. He didn't say anything as he approached. He crossed his arms to make his biceps look bigger.

"Oh, sorry shank. Didn't mean to scare you. You know you seem awful jumpy." He said this with a smirk growing on his face.

"Well, actually I am jumpy because frankly I just got here in that dumb box. I don't know anyone here so don't you think I would have my guard up!" I was starting to get angry with him "What's your name anyway?"

"Minho." His eyes were wide as a reaction to my outburst. He started to turn on his heels and walk away when he stopped to look back at me. "And what would your name be?"

A name flashed through my mind in big bold letters. Willow. This was the first time I had thought about my name since I had been asked about it while coming out of the box.

My eyes must have been wide with recognition, or fear because a smirk pulled at the corners of Minho's mouth.

"Willow"

"Ok then, nice to meet you Willow" He gave me a half-hearted smile and headed out of the woods for dinner.
