FoxFire Chapter 4

Sofie's POV

Sofie felt her eyes widen when she saw the blonde boy fall face first into the ground.

"What the shuck?"

She heard one of the boys exclaim.

'Well this is perfect…'

She thought as she tried to brace herself for what the boys would do next.

"So that's your name eh?"

A dirty blonde boy who looked to be about 17 said as he gazed at her with a curious expression.

Turning to face him she merely blinked in response.

Her face scrunched up in confusion when she realized that she didn't know the answer to his question.

Was her name really Sofie?

And how the hell did she get here in this bed with all of these strangers around her?

That was when she realized that she couldn't remember anything.

Her name. Who she was. Her family.

A pounding headache filled her head as she tried desperately to remembering something.

Anything.

But all she found was darkness.

Tears filled her eyes as she started to cry in fear.

Looking up she met the eyes of the boys who watched her with baited anticipation.

"Why can't I remember?"

She said quietly as her lips quivered out the words.

She watched as the boys exchanged a look before a dark skinned boy stepped forward.

Cautiously he approached her before stopping by her side.

He reached out a hand and she blankly looked at it in confusion as her tears continued to fall.

"Well, Newt called you Sofie so we'll just keep that name for now until you remember more."

He said as his eyes scanned over her slender figure.

"This here is the Glade and you came up in the box just like the rest of us which makes you officially the first female Glader that we've ever had."

Sofie regarded him wearily as she begun to hiccup through her tears.

The Glade?

That's what they call this place?

Glader?

What the fuck did that mean?

She suddenly realized that he was waiting for her to shake his hand and decided to thrown caution to the wind as she shook it lightly.

The boy smiled and gestured to himself before pointing out the other boys in the room.

"My name is Alby.

I'm the leader of the Glade.

This here's Clint and Jeff.

They're the Medjacks that took care of you while you were knocked out.

Over there is Gally who is helping Minho peel Newt off the floor."

She quirked an eyebrow at the boy that they called Newt.

'That's an odd way of saying hello.'

She thought as she watched the boy named Gally place Newt down in the bed beside her.

Her eyes remained on the unconscious blonde as a feeling of déjà vu hit her.

She felt like she had seen him somewhere before but couldn't remember where.

Shaking off the weird feeling, she turned to the others as Alby helped her shakily get to her feet.

"It's alright, Sofie.

We're going to take good care of you.

You're safe with us now."

Alby said gently making her fears subside slowly.

Taking her hand he led her out of the building and into what looked like a large field.

The other boys stood beside her as they watched her take in the massive walls and the lush green grass beneath her feet.

Alby's voice broke her out of her reverie making her look up at the older boy.

"Welcome home, Sofie."

He murmured with a small smile to which she returned with one of her own.

Taking one more look around her, she turned and followed Alby and the rest of the boys into her new life as the first Glader girl.
