VICTORIA POV

I gasped for breath as I woke up shaking. I frantically looked around the room and I saw a group of teenage boys all staring directly at me as I wiped the sweat forming on my forehead away.

"Ah good your awake!" exclaimed Newt as he walked over to me, "how' ya feelin' greenie?"

I sighed, honestly I didn't know how I felt. I felt scared. Alone. Angry. But most of all vulnerable. Its not everyday you wake up in a box and enter a place called "The Glade" surrounded by teenage boys with no memory whatsoever.

"Better..I think." I smiled a small smile at them, then suddenly the floor was more interesting than anything.

Alby walked over and bent down to my level and I looked up at his stern face, "So Greenie, over here we have Minho- Keeper of the Runners-" he pointed to a tall muscular guy with jet black hair and was Asian. He gave me a big cheeky grin. "Gally, Keeper of the Builders-" Gally was tall and skinny with brownish hair, green eyes He just gave me a nod. "And of course you know Newt."

"Nice to meet you guys."

"Jeez, you really don't talk much." Gally laughed. It was scratchy, hoarse laugh. I just raised my eyebrows at him.

"Shut it you Shank!" Alby shouted at Gally, Alby is actually kinda scary. He seems like a leader. Big, tough and scary. He turns back to me, "how about that tour?"

I smiled. FINALLY I CAN GET SOME ANSWERS! "Sure, nothing much else to do."

PAGE BREAK

The tour was extremely boring, but hey I got some answers. Alby is the leader of the Glade and Newt is second in command.

I discovered that the Glade is surrounded by a maze and that the Gladers have been trying to solve the Maze for nearly a year. They have a very good community and certain rules. 1. Do your part. 2. Never hurt another Glader, 3. Never go outside the Glade, unless your a runner. And if you break those rules you get banished. And I don't exactly like the sound of being banished . I also found out that at night time, the walls of the Maze, called the Doors, close to protect the Gladers from the horrible and nasty creatures called Grievers outside.

The glade is split into 4 sections: Gardens- in the North East- where the crops are grown and water is pumped in the gardens. The Homestead- in the North West- where everyone sleep, at the back of the homestead is the Slammer a place that functions as a jail. The Bloodhouse- in the South East- where livestock are raised and slaughtered, and finally the Deadheads- in the South West- a small forest area with a graveyard. In the center of the Glade, there is a metal elavator that we call the "Box". Once a month, a new boy arrives in the box with his memory wiped, like me, expect I was a girl. Supplies and clothes also arrive in the Box once a week.

Each of us Gladers have a job which they work at almost everyday, their only normal break being for lunch. Each type of job has a Keeper who has his own seat at the council. There are:

Builders: They build new/upgrade places in the Glade. Their keeper is Gally.

Cooks: They prepare meals. Their keeper is Frypan.

Track-Hoes: They work in the Gardens, doing tilling, weeding, planting and harvesting. Their keeper is Zart.

Med-Jacks: The Gladers doctors. Their keeper is Clint.

Slicers: They work in the Bloodhouse - they take care of livestock and slaughter the animals for food. Their keeper is Winston.

Runners: The only gladers allowed to go in the maze; they run through it everyday to try and find a way out. Their keeper is Minho.

The other jobs such as, Sloppers and Baggers, are the worst kind of jobs. There for the people who are bad at every other job. They do the dirty tasks. The Baggers take care of dead bodies.

I really like the sound of being a Med-jack or a Track-hoe. To find out what job I'm fit best for, I have to have a go with every single job for a couple of days. Then when I've finished everyone comes together in the council house and decide what job I will be assigned to.

"There will also be a bonfire tonight, in honor of your arrival." Newt said as we started to walk back to the homestead.

"Oh great fun." I rolled my eyes.

Newt laughed. You'll fit in here just fine, Greenie." Alby chuckled. He nudged me with his elbow in a friendly way, and I did it back to him.

"There back!" Everyone turned to the door in the middle, Minho and the other runners where back and Minho was on the floor, panting like a mad man.

"Did you find anything?" Newt asked, raising an eyebrow.

Minho nodded and got up, "I need to speak to you two alone." He pointed at Newt and Alby. I stood there awkwardly as Minho, Newt and Alby were bickering away a few feat away from me. So I sat down alone on the grass, trying to process this all in.

A loud boom exploded through the air, making me jump and focus my eyes on the doors. Following the loud boom, was a horrible crunching, grinding sound. That must be the doors closing, so we are really trapped. How can these massive walls close? I do not understand.

Alby, Newt and Minho made their way over to me. I was suddenly nervous, they all had really angry and unsure faces.

"Wassup guys!" I tried smiling but it came out really crooked.

"Show her Newt." Minho said sternly, crossing his arms over his chest.

Newt sighed and handed me a dirty crunched up note. I took it and opened it up.

What I saw inside shocked me,

Keep her safe. Shes had a very bad past.

I gasped. Could that be about me?

Well obviously, considering I am the only bloody girl in the Glade, stupid.

"Do you think that could be about me?" I whispered as I folded back up the note and gave it back to Alby.

Minho shrugged, "Could be. Anyway, I think its time for a bonfire." He smiled.

SORRY FOR SUCH A SUCK CHAPTER! You always need a tour so the character knows everything and blah blah...I will write chapter 3 later on tonight but for now I am going to have some fun with sparklers since it is bonfire night:)

BYE!
