darkness. that's all I see besides a flickering, dim light. I try screaming for help but nothing comes out of it except a sore throat. it feels like I'm moving, like I am in an elevator.
I try to stand up, however, I ultimately fail and get knocked down. I bump my head on what seems like a wooden box.
Harsh sounds of chains echo throughout the small room.
my name is Y/N* i think. *why can't i remember anything else? what is my last name? how old am I? who are my parents? do i even have parents?* not knowing the answer to these questions scares me.
it seems like hours before the thing i'm in halts to a stop. a loud clank comes from above me and soon light comes creeping in. i put my hand above my eyes because it is too bright.
i hear voices asking questions.
"what's down there?"
"is it a girl?"
"i hope it's a girl wink wink nudge nudge."
"it can't be a girl you shank."
"newt go have a look."
i back into a corner and hug my knees.
i feel someone jump in, i close my eyes.
"Hey it's okay greenbean, i won't hurt you."
greenbean?*
i open my eyes to see a kind looking boy kneeling in front of me.
"hi..." i say quietly, my voice hoarse.
he laughs. it's a cute laugh.
"nice to meet you, i'm newt."
i hear whispers from above. newt offers me his hand and i accept it. we climb out of the box and suddenly i notice that i am surrounded by teenage boys. it all starts to get overwhelming and now i'm hyperventilating.
"i call dibs."
"she's pretty."
"she's mine shut up"
"no way, i'm having her."
Just as the last statement is being made, a dark-skinned boy, who looked a little older than the rest speaks up.
"Listen here shanks, if any of you touch this girl, you will be banished, no questions asked, got it?"
it seems like he's the leader here because everyone nods.
the older boy looks at me again.
"the names alby, welcome to the glade."
the glade? what? who are these people? *
i'm so confused.
"i'm y/n i think, what is this place?"
i hear a whisper, "she has the same accent as newt."
a funny looking boy ignores that and says, "your new home greenie."
wow very helpful thank you.
