Chapter One
Clank Clank Clank
'What the hell is that noise?' as soon as I mustered up the energy to open my eyes I instantly regretted it, the world around me started to spin and I felt my stomach lurch along with it. I closed my eyes in hopes to relieve myself of the nausea I was feeling but it didn't help. I felt the bile crawl up my throat as I gagged and vomited. Once I was finished losing my stomach I realized I was trapped in what looked like a giant metal cage. I sat back on my butt and looked up and all I saw was darkness
"Hello?! Let me out of here!"
I screamed and I screamed until I felt like I was going to shred my vocal chords. I gripped my slender fingers into the cage around me and shakily pulled myself up as the cage continued to travel upwards. Suddenly the cage jerked to a halt and it threw my against the wall with a thud, I crumpled to the ground with a cry and I curled up in a ball as a let my hair cover my face. I laid there for what felt like hours before a loud bang caused me to move from my position, i was instantly blinded by a bright light. I threw my hand up to cover my face. I heard some murmurs but it was too bright for me to make out any faces.
"Oi! Greenie! up and at 'em!" I gasped when someone landed with a loud thud next to her, I froze when the cage shook violently. Looking up slowly and I saw a dark skinned boy who looked about 18. He crouched down next to me and I saw a look of surprise on his face for a moment before he composed himself and held a hand out to me,
"Come on lets get you out of this box." he smiles softly at me as I hesitate before I take his hand and he pulls me into a standing position. I looks up to see the opening to the cage surrounded by boys. I let out a surprised squeak when I feel his hands grip my waist and hoist me up in the air as the boys above me grabbed my hands to pull me up. Once out of the box I looked around and was beyond confused. They were in the middle of a wide open field surrounded by large ominous walls.
"Where am I?" I looked back to the boys as they all looked at me like I was an alien, a blonde boy steps up and speaks up,
"Welcome to The Glade Greenie." I frowns as I have no idea where that is.
"What the hell?" I look down at myself and notice I've got on capris, plain shoes, and a green long sleeved shirt. I hold out my hand and look at them, they're small and girly with slender dainty fingers.
"So Greenie, what do you remember?" I look up quickly momentarily forgetting I'm surrounded by boys. I take a moment to think about who I am and I find that I cant remember anything which sends me into a slight panic.
"I cant remember anything. Who am I? Why the hell am I here?!" I breathe a little frantically and the dark skinned boy places a hand on my shoulder.
"Whoa calm down and breathe. Its okay this is normal, we've all been where you are. It may take a few days but you will eventually remember your name." I nod slowly as I think again, it slowly comes to me almost like I'm questioning myself.
"My name..my name is Jo." The fact that I can at least remember my name makes me feel a little better, I smile when the boy smiles back at me.
"Well Jo, my name is Alby and the shanks behind me are the Gladers. You will make friends quick but first I need to give you the tour so keep up." he turns me around as he gives me a soft push to walk forward. I stumble a bit and receive a few snickers from the boys behind me, I turn my head to glare at them and a few instantly clam up. I look at Alby as I let the questions flow.
"What is this place? Why am I the only girl?" Alby gives me a look that shuts me up real quick.
"Enough questions Greenie. I'm not going to answer any until you are well acquainted with the Glade and our rules got it?" His gaze is stern but kind and all I can do is nod. As he speaks about the rules I space out when I see a large open gap in the surrounding wall.
"What is out there?" I blurt out without thinking and I earn a glare from the boy, I pull a guilty face as he sighs.
"That is a place you will do well to keep away from. No one is allowed outside of this Glade except for the Runners." at that statement I raise an eyebrow and he holds up a finger to keep me from speaking out again.
"Ill explain later. First we need to find you somewhere to sleep." I follow him to a pretty well constructed building he called the Homestead, it was filled with many hammocks. Around the large Homestead smaller more private houses were constructed.
"Those here are for the Keepers, seeing as your the only shucking girl we may have to make one for you. I cant have my Gladers distracted by the idea of sleeping in the same house a female." He hands me my own hammock and a grip of other things. I try my best to keep up with him and balance what is in my small arms.
He sets me up temporarily in the front of the Homestead where I have a little secluded section of my own, he helps me tie up my hammock before he tells me he has to leave to take care of a few things. I plop down on my hammock with a tired sigh as I'm finally left alone. I rest my chin in my palm and my elbows on my knees as I look out at the Glade. I lift my head up when I see two boys jog out of the maze and in the direction Alby went.
Well there here it is, Chapter One. I really hope you all liked it(: Please review and give me some advice or some ideas. I would greatly appreciate it(:
