It was dark with a faint smell of copper and steel. It sounded like a elevator and I realized it was a elevator. Crates were placed around me full of food and other things. I couldn't remember anything, but a name, I was sure it was mine, Lyra.
I heard the faint sound if alarms, They suddenly stopped at the box jolted suddenly and stopped moving. I pushed myself into a corner and grabbed a knife in one of the crates. The two panels above me were opened and someone jumped in making the box shudder.
It was a boy. He was tall and had blonde hair and soft brown eyes.
I raised the knife in front of me. "Who are you, where am I, why can't I remember anything?" I said. My voice suprised me, it was mid tone and I decided I hated it.
" Easy greenie," His voice had a thick accent, british i think. He tilted his head up towards the opening, "It's a girl." He said sounding slightly confused.
There were many voices above, I heard "A girl!" "Cool" " I call dibs" "Mine"
He looked back to me, " Can you put the knife down, I won't hurt you, neither will they. Please, just calm down."
I lowered the knife," Where. Am. I" I said.
"Let me show you." He held out a hand, I grabbed it, and he helped me up. I just then realized how tall he was, or how short I was rather. He smirked.
"What?" I said looking up at him.
" You're pretty short, five foot maybe."
I glared at him, then climbed out of the box.
I was surrounded by around 6 guys, all in their teens from around 14-17. I looked around, There were a few beginning stuctures in a grassy area, a wood was off to the left and the whole area surrounded bu huge stone walls with an opening on one wall. "Who are you? And Where am I?"
"Greenie calm down." The boy from the box said, He eased the knife out of my grip. I let him, I felt like I should trust him. "I'm Newt." He told me.
A boy stepped forward he was darked skinned and around 14. " I'm Alby, Welcome to the glade."
