Hello to the person checking this fan fiction out, I am really glad you did. This is my first one ever, and it's the first time I have ever shared any writing like this with anyone. Enjoy. :)
The first thing I notice when I open my eyes is the darkness of whatever contraption I am in. I feel around me, trying to get an idea of where I am, or what I am in. I try to recall a memory about how I got here, but come up short. My mind is nearly blank. I remember what the sun is, or how to jump or walk. Hell I even remember what a cheeseburger is. I just can't remember eating a cheeseburger, or watching the sunset with someone. My memories are gone.
Panic sets in as I struggle to find a memory, even just one. Do I have parents? Maybe a sibling? Where did I live? Was I dating someone? Am I even old enough to date? Most importantly, what is my name? Louisa echoes around my head. I grab onto it, repeating it several times in my head. Louisa. Louisa. Louisa. That is my name. Knowing one thing about myself calms me down. Questions still surge through my mind like a powerful wave. I hug my knees to my chest, questioning my sanity. Is this a nightmare? Am I imagining things? Maybe I am in a coma and this is my minds way of torturing me? Either way, I close my eyes and concentrate on not going into shock, although I think I may be too late.
My eyes open as I come to a screeching halt. I get up on my feet. I must be strong, I must be strong. I mumble into the darkness. I put on a brave face, just in case anyone comes in here. I don't want anyone seeing me weak. A bright light floods into the room, and I shield my eyes with my arm and squint. Once I adjust to the light, I open my eyes. I can see twenty boys staring at me with confusion evident on their faces. I don't hear anything, just silence. I shift my weight from one foot to the other. I grow uncomfortable under the stares; apparently I don't like being the center of attention. After a few seconds I gather the courage to speak up.
" Well, are you going to stare or get me out of here?" I ask with a shaky voice. It sounds weird to me, and far off, as if it belongs to someone else. I scold myself for sounding so weak. I can't be weak. Especially not in front of them.
" It's a girl. " the blonde in front of me says with a thick british accent. It sounded more like a question, almost as if he had never seen a girl before. There must be more people behind him, because several voices are carried through the air.
" Is she hot? "
"What does she look like?"
" I call dibs!"
All of the questions make me shake with anger. I could already tell my face was flushed. Either from the anger, or embarrassment, I don't know.
" Yes she is a girl. Now slim it you shuck-faces and get the lady out!" the blonde shouts. He stands proudly, with authority. Is he the leader? Wait. Did he say shuck?
I don't even get a chance to try and pull myself out. Arms wrap around me, pulling me out of what I now see is a metal box. It looks rusty and old, I'm surprised it held my weight, along with the other supplies that are in the box. I pull my head away from the box to come face to face with an asian boy. Our noses are almost touching. His deep, brown eyes show shock for a moment, then he smirks.
" Greenie, if you wanted to kiss me all you had to do was ask. " He says.
I can feel my face heat up and I mumble something unintelligible. I move away from him, and through the other boys. Their greedy eyes and gaping mouths answer one of my questions: I am the only girl. I want to make a run for it, but look at my surroundings first. There are four walls, they all go so high I can't see the top. There is ivy on them, and openings in the center of each wall. In the far left corner there is a forest. I could run there, and hide. But I want answers. Doing that won't get me any. Across from the forest there are numerous structures. I turn around and see hammocks, everywhere. They are hanging on the few scattered trees. Sleeping bags are near them, it must be where they sleep. One question remains in my mind. Where am I?
A dark-skinned boy walks up to me. His clothes are ragged and dirty, he must be a hard worker, but why does he have to work? He looks like he is seventeen. Seventeen year olds shouldn't be in a square with trees and hammocks in it.
" Day one Greenie. Welcome to the Glade. " He says before walking away. The other people walk way, probably to go to to work, but the handsome brit comes over and talks to me. Wait, did I just think handsome?
" Don't worry about Alby, he's had a rough day. He'll warm up to you eventually. " He says with a grin.
" Yea right. " I mumble really to myself and not him.
" M'names Newt, and I am going to show you around the Glade. There's only one thing I need to know before we get started. What is your name?"
I hesitate telling him. I could just fake and tell him that I don't remember. That I'm too confused to even think straight, when in reality, I am. I almost kissed that asian kid for heavens sake. On accident. What a way to start out in a place full of hormonal teenagers.
" You okay there green bean? You look a little spaced out. " Newt asks. I nod my head yea and decide to tell him my name.
"Louisa is my name" I tell him. My hands move down to fumble with the loose thread on my sky blue shirt. My shorts are white, like clouds. I feel like the sky wearing these colors.
" Well then Louisa, let me show you to the homestead. Shall we?" he says as he barely bows his head and swings his arm out. I look at him confused, wanting to ask so many questions. I bite my tongue, no need to annoy them more than they already are.
With a small smile I say " Why are you doing that? I don't know where I am going. You go first. "
He brings his arm in back to his side and says " it was just a nice gesture. Just trying to be fancy for a moment. Just follow me. " he looks annoyed that I called him out on his little mistake. I simply shake my head, and follow him into an unknown place, where I will most likely be stuck for a while.
So, how did I do? Reviews are always appreciated, and so are favorites and follows. :) Updates will be tricky for me, but I will try to get at LEAST two chapters out a week. Have a nice day, night, afternoon, where ever you live, I hope you are doing good. :)
