It all started in a metal, dust elevator like thing. At Least what I remember started like that. Ill start again though.
I woke up with my head against a metal wall, still half asleep. Where am I? I started to panic as I sat up. I try to think of what I remember, before this, but all I hear is the softest sound of what I think is my name. Olivia.
"Thats it?" I accidentally say allowed. Just a name, for all I know isn't mine. I dont have any memory, and Im stuck in a box. That just jolted upward. Oh, crap. Should I be trying to stand up? Yes. I push myself up, from my spot on the wall. But the box, or elevator is coming up really fast, and I fall to the side, and land on my ankle. Ow.
But i get back up again. I run my hands along the wall of the elevator. All for walls were flat, and i couldn't reach the top. I felt my way around, but there was nothing. Just me. I sat down again, and made a list of what I knew in my head.
-My name might be Olivia.
-I am a girl.
-Im in a box moving up, so most likely it an elevator.
-I have no memory.
-My What I know list is pathetic.
I don't what I look like. Or what i'm wearing. Heck, I don't even know my last name, just my, maybe, first name and that my ankle hurts like hell.
I look down at myself. I think, i had on scuffed black combat boots, baggy jeans, a blue tank top, magenta sports bra and a green hoodie, with blue writing on it. Hollister? Maybe its the name of a store... I pressed my back against the wall, racking my brain for something, anything, even my freaking eye color would be a relief now, but found nothing, and heard a crunch. What…? I sat back up and saw, a quiver of arrows on my back. If theres arrows, maybe i missed the bow, in here. I crawled on my hands and knees making sure I didn't miss anything when i looked before. I searched the walls again, and found it hanging on a hook.
I sat in the corner of the box, with my quiver over my shoulder and bow in hand, trying to ignore the nausea of being in here, going up for so long.
Obviously I hadn't been here very long, before I woke up, because I wouldn't have been able to survive without food or water. Maybe this was a punishment.. Or maybe i'm on my way to Hell or the field of punishment or something. Im not dead am I?
No. If i was dead I wouldn't have to breath. I think. I continued to imagine different scenarios, when I heard voices above me. What was going to happen? The light I had barely noticed in the beginning was getting brighter. The elevator came to a complete stop. I started freaking out on the inside, but on the outside, I stood up and knocked an arrow. Maybe I'm going to alyssum, or heaven or something, but if not, I'm going to be prepared for whatever happens, with or without memory.
I heard a bang. I cracked my fingers. I wonder if that was an old habit, because I've done that a lot in the past.. maybe thirty minute? It felt like an eternity though. It kept getting brighter and brighter, until the elevator came to a complete stop. I had to take the weight off my ankle so it didn't hurt as much but, i kept it on the ground to make it look like nothing was wrong with it. Besides, I think I just rolled it.
The metal doors started to open and I was met by a brighter light. I heard murmurs and then someone yelled, "Its a shucking girl!" A blonde boy, about seventeen, peeked his head in.
I heard people yelling, stuff like,
"Dibs!"
"No shucking way."
"I call her!"
"Is she hot?"
"How old is she?"
And he jumped in, causing me, and the bows attention to him.
"Where the hell am I?" And what's a greenie? but I didn't say the last question. He slowly walked towards me with his arms up.
"Its okay. Were not going to hurt you. Now put the bloody bow down and follow me." he says gently, motioning towards two ropes, that were just dropped down.
"Where am I? Why can't I remember anything? What-"I started stubbornly. I lowered the bow but didn't move.
"We can only answer some of those bloody shucking questions but only if you come up the rope." He says. I uncertainly walk toward the ropes, completely aware that he was coaxing me into this but I needed answers. And I was obviously not going to get them in a box. I grabbed the rope uncertainly and was lifted up without even realizing it.
"Holy Klunk, she's light." Someone says. I ignore the comment, and look around at… whatever this is. It was about the size of 5 football fields put together. There were a few falling down buildings, trees and, the most intimidating thing was the walls. 30 foot high walls. I turned back to the people and only then realizing it was me, with a bunch of boys. I didn't see one girl. This can't be good.
"Welcome to the Glade, greenie." A Boy about eighteen, with dark skin, says. From the way people looked at him, I assumed he was the leader. I lifted my, still loaded, bow.
"What the hell happened? Where am I? When-" He cuts me off.
"Save it for the tour. None of us have our memories." He says.
The blonde british boy glares at him, "Greenie, this is Alby. I'm Newt. Do you remember your name yet? And can you shucking please put down the bloody bow?" I put down the bow, and unloaded it, before shaking both of there hands.
"Olivia. Now can I please have answers?" I say, trying to act a little nicer.
"Not yet greenie. You came late today. Your also the only girl here. We'll deal with that later, but until then," He yells, "Nobody touches her! Now get back to work!" To everyone. They all left except Newt and Alby. "Celebrations tonight, once the doors close. Go find Chuck. Hes thirteen, and has brown hair. The klunks fat too. He should be by the homestead. And you can't have the bow. Or arrows. They go in weapons for the runners." Nice introduction. And with that he walks away. I look at newt. He has dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, british accent, slim and muscular, and about a head taller than me.
"Any chance you have answers?" I say stupidly, even though I know he doesn't. He shakes his head. We start walking towards the building I assume is the homestead. I hand him the bow and arrows reluctantly. I notice he has a limp, but I don't ask about it. We finally get to… Chuck?
"Shes with you until the party tonight. Don't tell her anything. I have to go." Newt says, then limps away with my bow and arrows.
"Hi." I say awkwardly.
"Hi! I'm chuck!" He says, grinning. "Ready for dinner?" He asks. I nod. We walk to another building and he gets us both Bread, and something else, but even though I'm starving I just take the bread. And then get an apple. I just seemed so out of place. Chuck and I sat at a table by ourselves, and I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I slowly sipped water and chuck talked to me. But all in all, I think I made a friend in the glade, even if hes, some chubby thirteen year old. But for all I know, I'm a chubby thirteen year old.
Right as we were getting up, I heard a screeching sound, and yelled over it, "What the hell is that?"
"The maze." Chuck and everyone else looked unfazed by it. "Get used to it greenie."
"I have a name."
He shrugs, "Its good not to be called greenie anymore. Thats your nickname until next month." We walked outside, and I saw the once open walls, closed, and a group surrounding the entrance, looking all sweaty and exhausted. But then they all got up and sprinted to a hut.
"Who…?" I trailed off.
"Those are the runners. Only people allowed in the maze. Im not allowed to say anymore or Alby'll probably throw me off the cliff, so lets go to the party."
