Sail Away With Me Chapter 1
It was a windy day in the Glade as Gally made his way over to the Box with the other Builders.
The greenie alarm had gone off a few minutes ago making them all abandon their tools and head over to Box to see the pathetic new arrival.
Taking his place with the other Keepers on each side of the metal gates, Gally let out a huff as the grinding gears of the Box came to a halt and an ear-piercing scream reached them from inside.
Gally's eyes widened in shock when they opened the gates and a girl was laying on the hard metal of the bottom of the Box.
"Bloody hell, it's a girl!"
Newt cried as the other Gladers scrambled to get a peek.
"Move the fuck back, ya shanks!" Gally shouted before he jumped into the box making it rattle hard.
The girl was tall. Almost as tall as he was.
And girlishly thin.
Her bright blue eyes looked up at him with fear shining in their orbs.
She had long blonde hair with sky blue streaks in it making him do a double take.
Time seemed to still as he met her eyes and he knew instantly that she seemed familiar.
Taking large strides, he came to a stop in front of her and held out his hand which she looked at suspiciously for a few moments but then hesitantly took.
"Welcome to the Glade, greenie."
He breathed as what felt like electric shocks jumped from her hand to his own.
It was at that moment that Newt and Alby jumped down beside them and gave him a withering look making him pull his hand back like it had been burned.
The girl took a few steps back and Gally realized that she was trying to hide behind him making his lips curl up slightly.
"Easy there, greenbean. We won't hurt ya. Seems like ya already made buggin friends with Captain Gally. My name's Newt. And this is Alby. Do you remember your name or anything at all that could give us a hint as to why you're here?"
Newt said as he held out his hand's in a mock surrender.
They all looked to the girl who looked like she was about to burst into tears again.
"No. I don't…Why can't I remember?"
She whimpered and that was all it took.
Her blue eyes were once again cascading waterfalls down onto her pale cheeks.
Gally shot a glare over at Newt who looked utterly confused and helpless about having a crying female in front of him.
"You're alright. Stop the waterworks. None of us could remember anything when we came up in the Box either. Just slim it nice and calm, yeah? Let's get you out of here."
He said gently before running a hand over his short dirty blonde hair.
It was then that the girl's eyes glazed over for a moment and her lips parted a little before a look of wonder appeared over her features.
"Sailor…My name's Sailor…And you're Gally. I remember you."
Her melodic voice said as she gave him a breathtaking smile making him pale considerably.
"I don't know you. I don't remember you at all. We've never met before. What are you trying to pull here Greenie?"
Gally growled making the smile fall from her lips and her eyes start to water again.
He turned to get out of the Box but Newt held out his arm effectively blocking the way.
"Now just a minute, Gally. If she bloody says she knows you then there has to be some reason she's said it. Are you sure you don't remember her at all?"
He said firmly making Gally glance back at the frail girl before shaking his head.
It was true. She seemed familiar.
But he wasn't about to get bloody banished over it.
Deciding to approach her later and talk in private, he jumped out of the Box and stalked off to his workshop with the other Builders following quickly behind him.
Alby rubbed a hand down his face before giving the girl a small smile.
"I'm sorry about him. He can be a bit temperamental sometimes. Come on, he's right. Let's get you out of the Box and go from there."
Newt and Alby helped her out of the Box and held onto her until she could stand on her own without shaking.
Sailor looked back at the thing that they called the Box and inhaled sharply.
She would've done just about anything to get the hell out of there.
Looking around her she took in the green grass and the high stone walls that surrounded the place that they called the Glade.
The wind blew through her blonde locks and whipped it off her shoulders as each of the boys came forward and introduced themselves.
There were too many faces. Too many names.
She would be lucky if she could still remember her name after all of this.
But out of all the names and faces, her eyes only searched for one.
Gally.
The tall boy with the beautiful green eyes that sparked her memory.
She didn't remember who he was.
Or where she knew him from.
But she did knew for a fact that they had met before and his name was the first thing to come out of her mouth as soon as she saw him look at her like that.
He had given her the same look that he had the last time she had seen him.
That she knew for sure.
As Newt joked and laughed with her she couldn't help but think that he too seemed familiar.
The others were just faces and names that didn't matter.
All that mattered was finding out why the fuck she was here and who these boys were to her.
"You alright there greenie girl?"
Newt asked making her jump slightly in surprise.
"Yeah. I'm fine."
She replied with a small smile making the blonde boy's face light up with happiness.
"Well let's get you some food, yeah? I'm sure you're bloody starving by now. I think I'll let Gally give you the tour tomorrow seeing as how you already know him."
He said as he took her hand and led her over to the kitchen where they disappeared inside.
Little did they know, a pair of forest green eyes were watching every move they made.
Sailor…Who was she?
And why did she seem so familiar?
Those were the questions that circled on repeat in the Keeper of the Builder's mind as he watched the sun sink slowly below the horizon.
