As I came to, I realized I was in a dimly lit metal grated box. My head was pounding and my nose was running. I wiped my nose on my sleeve only to pull away quickly from a sharp pain and see dark liquid on my sleeve. Great. Nose bleed. I reach up with my left hand to touch my face where I felt another sharp pain under my eye. Yup, that's going to be a good shiner. I continued to drag my hand down my face to further evaluate. I had a busted lip and a sore jaw on the right side. I went to lift my right arm only to realize it was out of socket. I had two or three bruised and/or cracked ribs and bruised thighs. I took in a deep breath to gather my bearings. Think back. Nothing. I couldn't remember anything. I started to look around and noticed the box was moving in an upward fashion. Ok, so I was in a lift. There were a few wooden boxes and a backpack which I assumed was mine. I rummaged through it and found some provisions, a towel, and two knives. I strapped one to my least bruised thigh and held onto the other one as I slung the pack over my left shoulder. I sat and waited for the box to stop and tried to remember, anything. I couldn't, still. So, I prepared myself for what was to come. Whoever or whatever was on the other side of this extremely long lift shaft couldn't be good.

That lift ride went on for what seemed like hours. How far deep in the ground was I who were the people who beat the ever living shit out of me and threw me in here. I shifted the wooden boxes around to hide me a little better so I had the upper hand when they took me out. I was about to doze off when the lift finally came to an abrupt stop, shaking the whole box. Adrenaline started pumping through me and I readied myself. The top of the box started slowly opening and a bright light came through, blinding me. A figure jumped down into the box. This was my chance. With a knife in my left hand I lept from my wooden box fort I built, catching the figure off guard as it was gaining its balance from landing, knocking them to the grounded. We both groaned in pain but I quickly put my knife up to their neck.

"Why was I brought here!?" I yelled at the figure. I heard rables from above but ignored the noise. "What…" I trailed off not knowing what else to ask next. My sight started to adjust to the light. I saw that I was pinning a young man with sandy blond hair to the ground. His hands were where I could see them showing he meant no harm.

"None of us know." He says with an accent. He was trying to sound calming but I think I was making him nervous with my knife at ready. I tried to get up and fell over, forgetting my right arm injury. I dropped my knife and grabbed my arm, wincing. At this time another guy jumped down. He had dark skin. The dark skinned one helped up the one I had jumped.

"You alright man?" He asked pulling him up.

"Yeah, I'm fine Alby. I'm not jumping down here any more though, one of you other shuck faces can do it from now on." They both laughed. Alby reached out a hand to me to help me up. I cautiously took it.

"Welcome to the Glade, Greenie." Alby greeted me as he helped steadied me. "I'm Alby," he put a hand on his chest, "And this shuck face you just jumped, is Newt." He gestured up and those are the rest of the Gladers." For the first time I looked up and saw about a dozen faces looking down in the hole. I looked back to Ably and Newt to seen concerned faces as they looked me over.

"I, um, I'm sorry for jumping you. I just didn't know what to expect after waking up like this." I gestured at my wounded self. "I would shake your hand but I can't really move my right arm." I grimaced through a smile at the thought of ever having to move my arm again.

"That's alright, and quite justified given your current state, let's get you out of this hole and then we can continue." He started stacking the boxed in a fashion to help me climb out. "Oh, and don't mind everyone's stares, you're only the second girl they ever remember seeing." I gave him a questioning look and nodded, more confused than ever.
