Hey! This is my first ever story so I hope you all enjoy it! This is a story from the perspective of a teenage girl who just arrives at the Glade! Hope you enjoy!
I am in some sort of box. But no, it isn't a normal box. No cardboard. Just metal. There are, however, smaller cardboard boxes in my "cage". I also spot a goat, some chicken legs, and and cutlery littering the floor. The box also seems to be moving upwards. Faster and faster every second.
It never seems to stop. It gets so fast, I lose my balance and fall to the hard ground, scraping my knees. Only then do I see what I am dressed in. Light blue jeans, a plain white beater shirt and a red leather jacket over it. For footwear, I was wearing black boots. I almost smiled at the fashion, but due to the current event, the smile never came.
I almost caught a glimpse of my hair when the box sent me flying across to the other side.
"Ahh!" I screamed as my body collided with the walls of the metal cage. It was still going up. I couldn't believe it. I tried to stand up, but I immediately tumbled back down. Brown. My hair was brown and long. Good, I thought.
I looked up. I could see darkness. But no. Wait. There was a light. Red light. It was coming closer. And closer. BANG.
The cage collided with the ceiling, or, whatever it was. I was lying on my back. My eyes were open. The ceiling started to split in half, revealing a bright light. I squinted. When my eyes adjusted to the light, the whole roof was gone. There were voices. Boy, voices. Laughs. Smirks. Jokes.
I was right. There were guys. All around the cage. A rope was being lowered beside me. I scooted to the other end of my enclosure. I brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them like a little kid.
A teenage guy, with weird eyebrows and short hair, jumped into the cage and looked at me. I stared back. After a moment, the guy stuck his hand out and said in a deep voice, "Gally. Welcome to the Glade."
I didn't reply, But I did take his hand. It was sweaty and warm, but I didn't care. I stood up, and took a moment, and then walked towards the rope. I wanted to get out of there. Only then did I realize that my cheek was bleeding. Eh, I thought, I'm sure I have been through worse. No actually, I wasn't sure. I couldn't remember.
I climbed up the rope and the boys made space for me. I looked around. I was in a huge clearing. There were buildings, farms, animals, and a forest. But what caught my eye the most were the four walls surrounding me. Surrounding the buildings and the animals. The four walls made a square.
