Hey everyone, this is a new story. I know there are so many OC Maze Runner stories around but hopefully you can enjoy this one. There will be some pairing but I won't spoil it for you guys, otherwise it wouldn't be very fun. Also, I am aware there are a few other stories where the same character is also named Eleanor, but I like that name so I apologize if it annoys you.

I'm sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes I might have made.

I do not own any of the character except Eleanor.

Enjoy:) x

Pain. That's the first thing she felt when she regained consciousness. Then came the panic, she couldn't see a thing, all she could feel was the cold hard floor beneath her.Scraping her hands along it she sat up feeling around trying to gain information, she could feel certain objects but she stopped touching around her afraid of what she might find. Her heart was pounding loudly in her ears supressing any option to think clearly.

Suddenly, a loud shrieking noise was heard, she raised her hands up to her ears covering them, She screamed loudly along with it, the sound making her dizzy, what was happening? She felt naseuos then as the floor started moving up beneath her, ascending painfully slow. She tried remembering how she got there but she came up empty, then tried to rememeber something, anything. The sound making her think she was in some small room, probably an elevator. Her breaths started to come up faster, her lungs feeling empty as she gasped for air, All she could rememeber was a word, so clear, so she focused on it, trying to steady her breathing: 'Eleanor'. Not sure how much time had passed she laid down again curling into a fetal position, fear paralising her yet again, she could feel wet tears runnning along her cheeks and falling down on her hair. She clossed her eyes tightly, tensing her whole body just whising, hoping for it to be over.

Finally, the place screached to a alt, her ears buzzing at the sudden silence, but it didn't last long, a new mechanical noise was heard as light started to fill the space blinding her, she recoiled back hiding away from the blinding light afraid of what was next, her back colliding with the wall behind her knocking the air out of her lungs. She could hear voices but at the same time it seemed like her world was on mute. The sound stopped and she was aware that the whole top of where she was in was open, she could see silouettes cutting against the light, human silouttes, she could hear their voices but couldn't make out what they were saying, her heart was pounding, deafening in her ears. Her sight was starting to adjust to the change of light and she could see she was in a huge metal box surrounded by boxes. A thud sounded and she snaped her gaze to the spot, a rope layed on the oposite wall of her, she did not know if it was meant for her to climb up or for someone to come down. She didn't move, too terrified to do something, her heartbeat was deafening her.

A few seconds passed, she knew they were talking to her but she couldn't make out the words, terrified out of her mind. She bit her lip drawing out the metalic taste of blood, frozen in place she was unable to do anything other than stare straight ahead at the rope along the oposite wall. Two big brown boots descending the wall entered her vision, she quickly hid her head down, her hair cascading down in the process. She could feel her body shaking, someone was coming to get her but even when the steps stopped in front of her she didn't look up.

"C'mon Greenie, or I'll shucking drag you out myself." A strong accented voice said.

Still shaking Eleanor raised her head, her eyes slowly coming in contact with his dark ones. He supressed a gasp.

"Bloody hell, it's a girl!"

Some kind of conmotion went up outside the box that Eleanor could not hear properly so she focused her attention on the person before her. His fairly long hair was dirty blond contrasting with his strongly tanned skin, his eyebrows were put together in confusion, but even then she could tell he was decently attractive, his strong cheekbones and defined jaw giving him a hard look, authority. He scared Eleanor. Who were these peple? What did they want from her? His eyes were moving, scanning her. He then extended a big hand towards her still shaking form, she flinched hiding once again almost entirely behind her hair.

"C'mon, you wouldn't want to stay here forever, would ya?"

Seeing no other choice, she shucked in a deep breath and took his hand.

When she was out every other person present started hovening over her, making her flinch back, almost falling into the box. The blonde stood in front of her, protective, while another, dark-skinned, shorter but bigger and more menacing, tried to calm them down, mostly by yelling. It wasn't really working, Eleanor covered her ears trying to block everything out. They calmed down slightly, but she didn't focus on their conversation she stared around, curious now, her heart still pounding loudly.

She noted there were around forty boys, all male, they were all in the middle of a field where a giant opening stood holding the place she just got out of. Several wooden buildings rounded the field, she could also see a large streching of woods by her right. But the thing that stood out the most, making her jaw drop were four impossibly tall walls surrounding the whole place, which gave her the impression of being in another box but bigger.

The males hadn't stop talking and she felt tired, all she wanted was peace a quiet, she was scared to speak but what else could she do.

"Where am I?" She said quietly, her voice slightly raspy like she hadn't spoken for a long time. The blonde turned around, she wasn't sure if he had heard her.

"Sorry girlie, what did you say?" He spoke loudly, silence fell then, she could feel all eyes on her, she crindged inwardly.

"What is this place? Why am I here?" She tried to control her voice, so they wouldn't notice how terrified she was but she didn't do a very good job of it.

"Questions for tomorrow, greenie. Name's Alby." The dark-skinned one said, "Newt wil be in charge of you."

"Hey, you ok?" She snapped my head at the sound of someone's voice, she had been so wrapped up in my mind she hadn't even heard his footsteps approaching. He was a blonde boy, not younger than seventeen, his short hair shinning with the light filtering throught the leaves of the trees. She had come here wishing for some time alone, no one would tell her anything and her nerves were about to explode. Newt had simply showed her where she was supposed to sleep and told her where to go when she got hungry, nothing else. Was that how boys acted all the time? Intimidating, scary and downright rude? And why wouldn't they tell her anything? Wondering once again what was wrong with these people she looked up to her visitor, his blue wide eyes gazing her, showing some form of concern,

"Umm yeah..." She replied shrugging, "I guess." She was obviously lying, they both knew it.

"Not really, no." She added, ducking her head down "I'm confused out of my mind."

"Hey, it's okay." He said sitting down next to her, he then dropped an arm around her shoulder. She visibly flinched, uncomfortable.

"Sorry." He said quickly taking it off her, "I'm not used to having girls around."

"It's ok." She replied with a small voice.

She slightly smiled, he actually apologized. He was definetly nicer than anyone she had met so far.

"We all had our first day here, I get it." He said smiling, trying to make her feel better. She looked down at her racked trainers. She wore long jeans, slightly too big for her and a loose fitting grey t-shirt, she wondered who had dressed her. It didn't look like something she would pick, how would you know? you don't even remember your favourite colour, she thought bitterly. She stared at the dirt around her shoes and started tracing patterns with her foot.

He didn't seem to enjoy the silence, "So, what's your name? Sure you remember as much." He said eagerly.

"It's Eleanor," She said still not looking up, "at least I think it is."

"Gally." He kept smiling and looking at her, she wasn't sure what to make of him yet but he was the only friendly face she'd seen so far so she told herself not to screw it up. However, she really wanted to be left alone. She got up without a warning.

"So, I get that you're not allowed to show me around or whatever, but I can still walk right?" She said a short smile playing at her lips, brushing the dirt of her jeans.

"I guess," He replied still sitting, "as long as you don't go beyond the walls."

"Well, see you later Gally." She smiled, slowly retracting "and thank you."

"Sure," he said smirking "and welcome to the Glade greeni- I mean Eleanor"

She smiled wider as she refered to her by her name while turning away.

When she finished walking around, the stares never leaving her, she had apparently missed dinner. Not that she had any appetite after watching those doors close. she had been avoiding getting too close to the walls, specially to the huge openings in those, she noticed how everyone else avoided them subconciously so she followed their lead, she definetly didn't like them, the loud tumbling noise of the doors closing could be enough to fill her nightmares for weeks and had her clamping her hands to her ears even moments after they finished closing. She was glad she missed dinner though, that meant less curious and mocking glares.

She got to a seemingly round building with a small door, she could trace the beginning of the roof with her hand if she extended it which made her believe the inside was built slightly underground, probably a cellar or a storage room of some sort. She tried the door but it must had been locked even though she couldn't see any lock or doorknob for that matter. Laying her head against the cold flat surface of the door seemed to calm her a bit.

Suddenly, the door left her forehead and she stumbled forward closing her eyes out of reflex. She fell into something, not something, someone; she could immediately tell because it was high enough not to be the floor and soft enough not to be the door. Or maybe it could've just been the male voice exclaiming "What the hell?"

She immediately blushed crimson red and tried to get back into her feet, task that seemed impossible given her feet were one step higher than the boy's making her knees bend awkwardly.

"I'm so sorry." she started apologizing quickly, "sorry."

His arms helped her get back on her feet, she noticed his toned muscles flexing as he did so and mentaly kicked herself for being so stupid as to notice that. Now back on her feet she did look at his face, hers feeling boiling hot. He was a fair skinned asian boy, around seventeen, maybe eighteen, his silk black hair refelcting the dim light from inside the room on his back. His eyebrows were raised but creased at the same time, but he was smirking slightly which confused Eleanor.

"If I'd had known you were so eager to get into my arms I would've gone to greet you long ago." he said, a joking tone on his voice, making her blush even redder. She noted how tall he was, even at their possition he was still taller than her.

"You can't come in here, sorry greenie." He was still smirking at her, she felt ridiculous under his gaze, she didn't know how to react.

"Sorry, I was just walking," she said looking down "sorry..."

She hated herself for being so fearful, why couldn't she stand up to them, she felt like they kept messing with her and she could do nothing but tuck her head down and apologize. Idiot. She kept feeling like a child being reprimended with the manners they were treating her. Her cheeks felt hot and she had the urge to cry yet again. She gritted her teeth forcing them back, feeling stupid and childish.

"Well, better learn your rules, girlie," he said seriously "or we'll have to kill you."

She was alarmed now, she really was alarmed, was he serious? Did they just kill people that did'nt follow their rules?

But then he laughed and the blood went back to her face as if it had never left.

"I'm just kidding, greenie." he said, that stupid smirk still on his face.

She felt humiliated as she felt tears coming to her eyes, she hated it, she absolutely hated it. Anger crept up screaming louder than her fear for the first time and without a word she turned on her heel and started walking back where she knew she was supposed to sleep and out of the trees,

"Hey, hold on a minute!" his voice called from behind, it didn't take long for him to catch up.

"You need to find your sleeping place, it's already late."

"Leave me alone." she said tears still threatening to spill out of her eyes. The boy jogged slightly and stopped in front of her, cutting her path-

"C'mon, I'll help you." he said extending his hand to her .

"I don't need your help, thank you very much." she told him angrily rounding him and continuing with her walking. He just laughed and followed her walking alongside, she kept looking straight ahead, her face in a scowl.

"Name's Minho." she heard him say but she remained silent, "oh, c'mon, if you don't tell me yours I'll keep calling you greenie."

She scoffed angrily but gave up "Eleanor."

He nodded but otherwise didn't give any other sign that he had heard her.

Outside the main building, Eleanor could see many of the boys already sleeping on their sleeping bags, she knew she wasn't going to be the exception and crindged at the idea of having to sleep next to all this rude and loud boys. She quickly spotted the sleeping bag that Newt had pointed out to her and dragged it with her, trying to get as further away from everyone else as she could. Minho was still following her. She was about to turn around to tell him to get lost when a figure approched her, she tensed but imediately relaxed as she noticed it was Gally.

"Hey Eleanor." he said cheerfully, and then added towards Minho "don't worry slinthead, I'll take it from here."

The latest sighed, nodding

"I don't need a baby sitter." she said, but the boys ignored her.

"Behave." was the only thing Minho said to Gally, who laughed at that.

Turning to Eleanor he added, "Don't trust him, he's full of klunk." and then sprinted towards the door of the closest building.

"Hey!" Gally shouted after him, gaining some protest from the ones trying to sleep and Eleanor found herself snickering.

When Newt woke her up the next morning Eleanor felt like she couldn't have slept longer then 5 minutes, so she was surprised that although the sun hadn't come out yet, there was a faint light covering the sky. Her wide confused eyes questiones the boy in front of her but he simply said "Follow me" stood and started walking away. Leaving Eleanor to catch up with him, she reluctantly followed, her legs feeling heavy and numb and feeling tired, she felt she could fall asleep whilst walking but she managed to stay awake enough to tag allong with Newt.

He was walking fastly, the slight limp she noticed yesterday barely notizable, he took gigantic steps which made Eleanor have to do a ridiculous trotting in order to catch up with the taller boy. When she was finally at his level she looked up at his serious face, the bag under his eyes not looking extremely inviting so she swallowed her questions knowing they probably wouldn't be answered.

Focusing on keeping up with his excruciatingly long steps, Eleanor noticed how hungry she was, she didn't remember the last time she ate, she thought maybe that was why she felt so dizzy, but it could also be the fact that it was dawn and she had just woken up, so she didn't dwell on it for longer.

When they finally made it to one of the concrete walls he stopped, so Eleanor did too. The wall was so large in comparasion to them, she felt very insignificant, she wondered how those things could even exist. Newt did not waste any time and proceeded to brush aside some ivy on the wall uncovering a small dirty window almost completetly opaque, Eleanor wasn't even sure anyone could see across from it. Newt beconed her forward and she slowly obliged, she had to step too close to him for her own comfort in order to see through the glass, if you could even call it that. Newt's body radiated so much warmth she wasn't aware a human being could. She then stopped to think about her companion and focused on what she was supposed to be looking at, which was absolutely nothing. After a while she could see some silouetes, it looked like a room with an opening on the side, the walls were made of concrete and ivy covered them. She couldn't see the ceiling so she figured that just like in the glade, there wasn't one.

They spent a few minutes in silence, he kept staring so intensly at the glass, Eleanor was sure she was supposed to be seeing something but she was getting impatient.

But just when she decided to speak she saw it "what are we-" the words gort stuck in her throat. A huge mechanical insect had just rounded the corner, her heart started pounding agaisnt her chest and drumming loudly in her ears. Though it was impossible to hear it from there, Eleanor could've sworn she heard the screeching and moaning of the creature. It was something robotic, but she felt like it was alive, their arms looked silvery and mechanic but it looked more like and animal than a robot somehow.

Eleanor was so grateful of the walls at that very moment, sure they trapped them in but they kept those things out.

But just as she had that thought the gigant spider started climbing the wall oppsite from the window. Eleanor let out a loud gasp and Newt spoke "Don't worry, they don't climb all the way"

She hadn't noticed he had been looking at her the whole time but she didn't have time to feel shelf-concious . She kept her eyes on that thing until she couldn't see it anymore, so she pressed herself further onto the glass to see it again.

Just then, the creature jumped so fast towards them she didn't have time to react.

Eleanor was aware of three things at once, one, the loud boom of the creature colliding with the window that she was sure was going to break but surprisingly, it didn't. Two, how extremely dizzy she felt as she fell to the floor. And three, Newt reaching out for her, his fingertips grazing her arms. Then everything turned black.
