Chapter 1

At first it felt like waking up from a dream.

Her eyes opened and she couldn't remember where she had fallen asleep. The sound of birds chirping... The rustle of trees in the distance. Where had she fallen asleep? She sat up in a panic and looked at her surroundings. She had no recollection of falling asleep in the middle of a field. In fact, she had no recollection of anything at all. She, and a few other boys, laid unconscious around her. They were all laying as if they had been dropped from the sky. They all surrounded a big metal box. She helped herself up off of the ground carefully. Every slight move she made, made her head spin. She felt drunk off of something. About a million questions were floating around in her head as she felt her heart stop. None of this looked familiar. She ran her hands through her hair to calm herself down only to find it damp.

Why was her hair damp?

She finally rose to her feet to feel the ground beneath her spinning. Everything was making her feel dizzy and her stomach churned. She would throw up. She knew she was going to throw up. She squeezed her head and closed her eyes, trying to steady herself. It was hardly working. She tied her wet hair up into a knot and started walking away from the box. She wondered if she looked as unsteady as she was feeling. She walked toward the trees in the distance. She placed her weight against a big tree trunk. She shook her head and looked into the forest in front of her. Trees were going on for as far as she could see.

Where was she?

Before she could make another move, she felt the bile in her stomach shoot up her esophagus. She hunched over and threw up into the dirt. She silently thanked the heavens that those boys over there were passed out because she definitely didn't want them to see her puking up her insides. She pulled her jacket off and used it to wipe her mouth. She tossed the jacket into the dirt, not caring for it anymore. It was too hot here for her to wear a jacket anyway. She leaned her head back against the tree and looked back at the box when she heard voices coming from it. The boys that were scattered around the box had now started waking up and helping each other stand up, some of them heaved over puking themselves. She stood up on her own, feeling the ground finally become stable beneath her and her head began to clear.

She slowly made her way over to them. She felt steadier as she walked back to the box, not like earlier. As she approached, she didn't know if it was such a good idea. She didn't know anything about them, or why they were here. She was scared they'd attack her... Or worse. But that wasn't the case when she walked up to them. In fact it was the complete opposite. When she walked up to them they seemed normal... Like regular teenage boys.

"Where the hell are we?" the Asian one said. She tried to think... Had she ever met an Asian person before? Or a white person or a brown person or even another girl? Come to think of it, she couldn't remember meeting anyone ever.

"What's with the giant walls, and the huge box?" Another said. She didn't even notice it but he was right. Surrounding them were big stone walls. It seemed like the entire area they were in was one big square. Each of the sides had slits in them... They seemed like doors.

"Oi!" She heard someone shout at her, She looked over to see a tall, lanky boy with an orange T-shirt on. "Where are we?" He asked. His voice was different from the others. It was smooth and heavy. She couldn't understand why, but she liked the differentiation with him.

"How the hell should I know, I just woke up." She said to him.

"You woke up first? " Another boy asked, she nodded. "Well how do we know you haven't been here for weeks?"

"Back off man she hasn't been. Just look at her hair, it's wet just like the rest of ours." The one with the accent defended her.

"Newt's right... I'm just as confused as you guys." She said to the guy who accused her. That was when all the boys turned to stare at her. The lanky boy specifically stared at her. "What?" She asked.

"What did you call me?" He asked.

"Huh?" She asked.

"You said my name was Newt." He said.

"I did?" She asked, she hadn't realized she used his name. But then she thought about it. She did call him Newt. "I don't know how I knew that. I just do." She said. "You gotta believe me I don't know what the hell is going on here!" She started to panic. How did she know his name? She felt her heart start to beat even faster, wanting to run away in the opposite direction.

"My name's Minho." The Asian one broke the following silence. Everyone turned to look at him. "I just thought about it, that's my name. It just came to me guys." He said as if he was talking about the weather.

"My name's Nick." The one who accused her said.

"I'm Alby." The black one said.

"I'm Winston!"

"I'm Gally!"

"I'm Zart!"

"My name is Siggy!" A few guys chuckled at his name.

"I'm Clint!"

"So I guess I'm Newt." The one with the accent chuckled. "Does anyone know why the bloody hell we're here?" He asked the rest of the boys. They all seemed to shrug.

"What about you, what's your name?" Nick asked her. She opened her mouth to tell them, but nothing came out. She couldn't remember what her own name was. Why could they all remember who they were and she couldn't? He seemed to tell she was having trouble with it, and nodded. "It's okay, you'll probably remember later on." She nodded as well.

Everyone's smiles faded when a big crack rang out in the field, followed by the ground shaking. She looked into the sky to see what was going on, but had noticed the openings in the middle of the walls had begun to start coming together and closing.

"The doors, they're closing!" She shouted, making everyone else's attention fall on the giant vine covered walls. She ran over to the north wall, right up to the opening and could see that there was some kind of gravely path leading out of the Glade they'd been dropped in. She was about to run out there when she felt someone grab her.

"What the hell are you thinking?" Minho shouted in a panic.

"I don't want to get stuck in here!" She struggled. She was trying to get out of his grip, but the opening between the walls was too small for any person to fit through. She stopped fighting as another crack rang out through the Glade, the sound of the walls meeting together. They all looked around at the walls, all openings were now sealed shut, they had no way out of here.

Let me know what you think guys!
