I woke up, my mind a hazy fog. I didn't know where I was, where I came from. I didn't even know my own name. I was in what seemed to be a large, rectangular metal cage which was covered in rust. I could hear the rusty metal hinges screeching as the cage rose higher. I was surrounded by complete darkness, underground I assumed. I could not understand how I could put all of these tiny details together and realise that I was quickly moving up in metal cage underground, yet I couldn't even remember my who my mother was, or who I was for that matter.

After what seemed like an eternity, the metal cage finally came to an abrupt stop causing me to lose balance and fall to the ground which was only as comfortable as a metal cage could be. About five minutes later the two metal doors at the top of the cage opened. A dark skinned boy around 17 jumped down into the cage with a confused look on his face.

'It's a girl' were the first words he said to no one in particular.

A moment later his gaze intensifying, he put his face closer to mine and asked

'do you know why you are here?'

I shook my head 'no' was all I could get out in a quiet, shaky voice.

It was then I noticed about 20 people surrounding the cage above me all with the same confused look on their faces. It seemed I was the only girl which did not make me feel the slightest bit better. The older boy spoke up again

'I'm Alby, welcome to the glade'.

'Why am I here?' I asked my confusion obvious.

'Same reason as all of us, no idea' is all he offered.

Soon after I was awkwardly lifted out of the metal cage that I heard one of the boys call 'the box' I was in what seemed to be a big paddock surrounded by huge concrete walls. Was this a prison? Had I committed a crime? The thought made my stomach turn. Alby started showing me around what was called 'the Glade' There was a shabby built structure in the middle called the homestead and to the of that left was another shack where they all ate that was ran by another dark boy named Frypan. None of the buildings looked like they would be able to withstand even the slightest gush of wind.

'Sorry greenie, can't stay around to finish the tour with ya, need to wait for the runners to return".

'The wha-'

but before I could finish Alby was calling out to someone not far away. The boy came running over when he heard his name which I could not quite catch, he had a small limp.

'Greenie meet Newt, Newt meet the new greenie'

Newt was a slim built boy who looked to be around the same age as Alby. He had blonde hair and ebony black eyes which contrasted beautifully with his pale complexion.

'Name's Newt greenie'

'hehe, like the amphibian?' I asked not being able to control my laughter

Newt rolled his eyes 'ha ha, looks like we've got a comedian on our hands. Bout time the shuck- faced creators sent us one'

'the what?' I asked confused.

Newt hesitated a moment before he let out a small chuckle

'don't worry love you'll find out all in good time'

'wise words from an amphibian' I smirked.

Newt didn't say anything, instead he looked to the ground and chuckled.

Newt spent about an hour or so showing me around. I met of the keepers and got a good idea of where everything is.

'It's getting late greenie, how about something to eat?'

I was still feeling confused and uneasy about arriving to the glade. Food was the last thing on my mind.

'I'll go, but I probably won't eat anything. I'm not very hungry'

'come on, you have to eat. I know you're probably really confused and afraid but really it will make you feel better and you know what? I'll even let you eat with the cool kids" he said with a wink

I rolled my eyes, but followed the blonde anyway.
