She began and ended her new life in a cold dark box. We're just concerned with the beginning for now though.
The girl awakened from a drug-induced sleep to the sound of grinding metal. Covering her ears, she screamed to try to drown out the sound. The noise still seemed to be ripping her eardrums to pieces. She could only piece together one thought through the loud screech of metal on metal. 'My name is Alexandria.' Then after that: 'I like Lex better.'
Lex stopped screaming, realizing that she would lose her voice soon. Slowly, she uncovered her ears. She stood up and began to feel her way around the box.
She found no obvious way out, and a small squeak escaped her mouth. Lex was afraid she would be trapped here forever. Then the box stopped moving.
Light began slowly flooding the elevator. She squinted so she could see through the harsh sunlight and saw a bunch of boys staring at her. She heard voices all jumbling together, but she could make out a few.
"It's a girl!"
"No duh, shuck-face!"
"What's going on!?"
"All of you slim it!"
The last voice stopped the others, and a rope was lowered down. She started to climb up and was helped the rest of the way.
Once she was out, a dark skinned boy who had told the others to 'slim it' said, "Welcome to the Glade, Girl."
