Rebecca gasped for air as she was being elevated by a metal box. She stood on the cold metal floor, surrounded by barrels, and retched, although there was nothing in her stomach. White and blue lights blinded her as she searched around her. Suddenly, the box halted to a stop, causing her to fall onto the freezing hard floor. The ceiling opened up and revealed the bright yellow sun. She finally got up and pushed herself out of the box and took everything that was there with her.
She set up all the supplies and glanced around her. There were walls around her with a huge forest, and she was alone.
Rebecca had no idea what was going on.
Where was she? Was there any possibility that she wasn't alone? Was she supposed to live her? What were behind those walls? Was there any dangerous threat there?
The girl had no memory of how she got in the box or who put her there.
Putting her questions in the back of her mind, Rebecca dragged her supplies into the forest, where she built shelter for herself and took bits of food from her supply to eat. She lay down on the hammock she had set up and thought back to her questions that continuously filled her mind.
Multiple hours passed but nothing came up. Her questions remained unanswered. Screeching filled Rebecca's ears. Clutching them, she look at the huge gap in the wall that was suddenly closing. Rebecca watched in horror as the walls closed with a boom. Suddenly, a sharp shriek boomed cutting the eerie silence. Plugging her ears, Rebecca laid back down and fell asleep.
It had been a whole month of loneliness, thinking and survival since she arrived. But finally, the box started to make sounds again, a loud blaring alarm to be exact. Although Rebecca was curious of what would come of it, she stayed a safe distance away, observing it instead.
The doors of the box flew apart, and a boy jumped out of it. He had dark hair and piercing brown eyes, but his were filled with fear. After blankly staring into the wilderness, the boy suddenly fell to his knees and to Rebecca's surprise, the boy began to cry. His wails cut through the eerie silence like a hot knife thorough butter. As Rebecca stood, there watching him, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the boy. But despite the sorrow she felt for him, Rebecca went on with her life the way she became used to.
As time flew by, Rebecca studied the patterns of the box. Soon, she figured out that once a month a new person came up from the box and it was always a boy. Every week, the box came up with supplies. From the safety of her tree house, she watched as the group became larger and larger, but fear never failed to gouge them. Some of the boys went crazy, others hid in fear and some didn't speak for weeks. It wasn't a good time for any of them.
A few months had passed and things only got worse. Some of the boys had died and like before, most of them hid in fear. But Rebecca saw the struggle to survive and she couldn't stand watching these boys, young and old, die. She walked back into her tree house and sat in her hammock with a paper and pencil in hand, and she wrote until her hand hurt. Finally, after finishing writing, she folded the piece of paper and placed it in her pocket.
Several weeks passed and whenever Rebecca looked into the Glade, its what the boys, the Gladers, called it now, she smiled because she saw order and teamwork. Most of the Gladers were curious about what was beyond the large walls but only a few actually knew the real danger of it.
One day, Rebecca overheard two boys, Minho and Newt, talk to the leader of the Glade, Nick, about some sort of maze. Only them and a couple more of them made it out of there maze, while others were stuck in there at night. Some believed that those who got stuck in the maze survived but from the shrieks heard at night, most knew they were never to be seen again.
As time went by and more people came up from the maze, it became harder to gather the necessary resources for Rebecca. Food came in smaller portions to everybody, and stealing it got a lot harder.
Searching through Frypan's 'kitchen' Rebecca was desperate to find food. She filled her bag to the rim with food and whatever she could find, and she turned around. Only to find a blade to her throat.
"Who the bloody hell are you?" Newt said
"Someone you don't need to know" she replied
"Tell me now!" he commanded, bringing the blade closer to Rebecca.
She pulled her hood off. Her dirty blonde hair falling to her shoulders. "You wouldn't dare hurt a girl would you?" she asked
"What the hell?" Newt exclaimed, shock spread over his face.
Quick as a flash, Rebecca had turned the tables. Now she held her own blade to the boy's throat.
"You won't speak a word about this, Or else, I'll kill you before you can get out of this hellhole" Rebecca threatened
Snatching her bag, Rebecca ran out of the kitchen and back into her tree house.
The next afternoon, Rebecca walked into her tree house after a successful raid of weapons. As she stepped in, male voices could e heard. Quietly, Rebecca grabbed her new knives and hid behind a wall. Rebecca took a glance towards the sources of voices, only to see Newt and Nick rummaging through her stuff. Forcefully, Rebecca threw a knife into the wall beside their them. Their heads whipped towards the weapon in the wall, giving Rebecca enough time to race into the room and slice the intruders in the arms and legs.
The two boys fell, holding their fresh wounds. Rebecca stood above them, holding her blade. Blood dripped from the end.
"I thought I told you to leave me alone!"
"Look I'm sorry about this but let us explain" Nick replied
"Fine! Get up and sit there"
Sitting down onto the hammock, Newt and Nick looked around more. Rebecca walked up to them
"But any funny business from you guys and the Glade will be losing two more members. Got it?!"
"Understood" Newt said
"Good. Now speak before I lose my patience"
"My name is Nick, I"m the leader here. This is Newt, he's one of the Runner's. He's the one who told me about you"
Rebecca gave a quick death glare at Newt
"I know exactly who you are"
"Look we're sorry if we seemed like a threat to you. We weren't aware that someone else was living in the Glade with us"
"I'm sure you weren't."
"To be honest you're the first girl we've ever seen in the Glade"
"I know... Every single one of you that comes up from that Box is always a boy."
"How do you know all this already?"
"I've been watching the Glade from the start..." Rebecca says as she starts to tend to their wounds.
"Wait, what do you mean 'from the start'?"
"I mean, I've been here longer than any of you shanks have."
The two boys looked at her with confusion
"It seems like you guys are still lost so I'll simplify it a bit more. I was the first to come into the Glade."
"That's impossible. Nick was the first to arrive here from the Box."
"No. He wasn't."
"How do we know you're not lying?"
"The very first thing that Nick did when he arrived here was fall on his knees and cry his eyes out..."
"How do you know that?!"
"I told you. I was the first one here. I've seen you guys grow from being controlled by fear to becoming a team."
"Okay, one final test then. How did we become a team?"
"A note. Somebody wrote Nick a note telling him how to organize you guys."
"There's no way you already knew this."
"Come here!" Rebecca says as she grabs a piece of paper with her notes on it and hands it to Nick. "Do you recognize this writing?"
"It's you. You wrote the note..."
"Finally, you boys got something from this little chit chat" Rebecca exclaimed.
"But why hide all this time?"
"Honestly, I don't know... At first, it was because I was afraid. But now... It's just not the right time. How do you think those boys will react when a girl suddenly show up from nowhere? They'd go crazy"
"She's right Nick, they will go nuts."
"That's why it's so important that you don't tell anyone about me. Now go leave before I actually kill you two" Rebecca says
Nick and Newt stand up and climb down the ladder. From the ground Nick and Newt look up and wave as Rebecca looks down and puts a finger to her lips.
That's it for now guys... I really hope you enjoyed it. I'm going to tell you now that this will most likely be the longer chapter I'll write for this story but there is definitely more to come.
Feel free to PM me and write reviews. Until next time!
