CHAPTER 1:
She woke with a startle as she began to ascend at incredible speed. She began to feel around and started to panic when she realized she was in a cage of some sort. She started to think, Am I an animal? No. Am I a criminal? Maybe… I don't remember… wait. Who am I? Where am I? Who put me in here? Panic rose and she started to hyperventilate as she realized she couldn't remember anything. The cage continued to accelerate up and she didn't think it was going to stop. Where am I going? Oh my, am I about to die? Those were her thoughts before the cage illuminated in demonic red lights and an ear splitting alarm started screaming. She quickly put her hands over her ears to stop the headache, but it was no use. She scooted over into the corner of the cage and put her head on her knees and looked at her eerie surroundings. She saw crates and materials covered with some sort of logo. She got closer to the crate to read the word "WICKED." Well that sounded cheerful. She started to feel the metal cage coming to a halt really fast. She braced herself for impact and she flew up in the air and landed hard on her elbow. To put it more precisely, her funny bone. Her arm started to tingle and she cried out in pain as it throbbed. Suddenly, the doors over her head opened. She covered her eyes as bright, blinding sunlight streamed into the cage. She quickly adjusted to the light and someone jumped into the cage with a thud. She glanced up to see a girl around 16 years old. She had shoulder length blonde hair and very striking blue eyes. She had some freckles dotting her nose and cheek bones and full lips. The girl was pretty and she started to get jealous until she realized she didn't even know what she looked like. For all she knew, she could be prettier than this girl. The girl carefully made her way over and crouched down in front of her.
"Hullo, Newbie. Name's Liz. Do you remember yours?" The girl asked. She noticed she had a weird accent… and it sounded British? She also noticed the girl had metal on her teeth. She was confused. What were those again? Oh yeah, braces! Frankly, she didn't know how she knew what braces were, but she couldn't manage to remember her own name… wait a minute. Frankly… Frankie! Her name was Frankie! She smiled and replied to the British girl with the kind eyes.
"My name is Frank." How did I come up with that? It rolled off of my tongue so easily. I guess that was my nickname. She thought.
"Marvelous! Do you want to come out of the Cage now and meet the others? I promise, we don't bite!" Liz said as she held out her hand. Then Frank saw that she was missing her pinky finger. Frank hesitantly took her hand and Liz helped her off the ground. Liz saw she looked at her pinky and smiled sadly. "Don't worry about my pinky. It's always been that way. I really don't remember how it happened."
Frank nodded and was hoisted up out of the box to see a wide open grassy field. It almost looked peaceful if it wasn't for the massive gray ivy colored walls looming over them. She looked around to see 14 people standing in a semi circle in front of her. Boys and girls of all different ages stood eager to see the new Newbie. It was then that another girl walked up to her. She held her head high and shoulder's back. Frank could tell that she must be in charge. She wondered why it wouldn't be a boy. It definitely would make more sense. But Frank had this gut feeling that she didn't really care about authority. She could lead her own life and make her own decisions. Frank adjusted her posture to look more intimidating, hoping it would knock the girl down a couple pegs. She had short brown hair with a blonde streak in it. It was definitely interesting. It was more styled like a boy's haircut. She had friendly green eyes and she was tall and muscular, and looked to be one of the oldest there. Frank took a guess that she was around 17 or 18. She had a few scars and this sly grin on her face as she approached Frank. She definitely wasn't going to be easy to intimidate.
"Hey, Newbie. Nice to see you finally showed up to the party, but that's not your fault since the Cage came late today. Before you go off your rocker with a million questions, I'm Dani. I'm the leader of this rag-tag bunch and you are our third Newbie. All your questions will be answered in time. Liz here," Frank looked to her left to see the blonde girl who pulled her out of the box, "is my second-in-command. The rest of these knuckleheads are your new family. They might be annoying, but you'll learn to love 'em." Frank turned to look at the crowd and saw a bunch of smiling faces. She smiled back before turning to Dani once again.
"Welcome to the Haven."
AN: Okay here is the first chapter! I'm already a day ahead of schedule! So that's how it begins. If you're OC was not in the first chapter they will definitely be in later chapters. Also, instead of it being the Glade it is the Haven (if you didn't catch that!).
I also need 2 more OC submissions. I need a slicer (who is preferably a boy) and a cook (who can be either gender)! Those are the only restrictions so I will pick the best ones!
Wafflelover06: I hope you enjoyed the chapter and Frank being the Newbie!
Newtie: Liz is the second-in-command, just like Newt! I hope you liked the chapter!
AsgardianGrizzly: Dani is the leader and I hope I portrayed her right!
Nerdicarp: I'm letting you know that I am going to change Ben's name to Benji if that is okay with you? If not, just reply and let me know. It's just because Ben is a character in TMR.
