The New Maze (A Maze Runner Story)

prologue

He woke up, in a dark, cold box.

All he could remember was his name. Bailey. Nothing else. Not his last name, or who his parents were. He couldn't even remember how old he was. 

suddenly the box began to move upwards and bailey staggered to the ground.

'Where am i?' He wondered. 

The box continued to ascend for thirty minutes (purely based on guess) before coming to a stop. There was silence. Then two doors above his head opened, revealing a group of girls and boys, all teenagers, staring down at him.

"Hey look at the new greenie!"

"Look at this shank"

"How old is he?"

The people all stared at him, some smiling and laughing, while others just gave him a blank stare. Then one of the boys offered his hand, which Bailey took, and pulled him out of the box and onto grass. Bailey's eyes were still adjusting to the light, but he saw that he was standing in a field, mostly filled by grass, but also containing wooden huts and trees. Beyond them was big stone walls with ivy hanging from them. The walls were massive, rising anywhere from 200-300 feet tall. Bailey turned towards the others.

"Where am i?" He asked, urgency and fear lingering in his voice.

"We'll get to that in a second" said a boy with brown hair. "First can you tell me a bit about yourself? Whats your name?"

"Bailey."

"And can you tell me anything else? Like where you're from?"

Bailey thought for a second, his mind blank. "I can't remember" he mumbled. "I can't remember anything!" He said, this time louder. "Why can't I remember anything?"

"Just relax, everything is fine" said the boy. "We don't remember much exept our names.  It's normal."

"Who are you?" Bailey asked.

"My name is Kaden" he said.

"Kaden, where am i?"

Kaden smirked slightly. "Welcome to the Glade."
