Ellie's POV:
I open my eyes to find myself contained in some kind of metal cage. It's cold, dark and the cage is going upwards at a scarily fast speed. I slowly stand up but my legs are weak and shaking slightly and it's too difficult. I suddenly hear a loud alarm and the cage halts to a sharp stop.
I shield my eyes from the bright light streaming in as someone's opened up the cage. My eyes adjust and I lower my arm, letting it fall limp at my side. I look up in shock but not as shocked as they look. I hear people whispering "It's a girl." That's when I realise above me there is about 30 boys. One of them jumps down into the cage. "Hey Greenie. My names Newt." he smiles at me, holding out his hand. I don't take it, I just stare back at him. "Where am i?" I ask. "Well let me help you out and we'll show you around." he holds out his hand again. "Come on Greenie don't be shy." Don't be shy! Ha. Funny, you try being in a cage surrounded by 30 boys googling at you like a piece of meat. I take hold of his hand and he helps me out.
He walks me past the crowd and takes me to a log by an unlit fire. We sit down in silence for a few minutes. "Do you remember your name yet?" He asks breaking the silence. I think for a moment. "Ellie." he smiles. "Lovely name." "Yea, not as great as yours." I smirk. He laughs. "Hey cheeky, watch your tongue. Some people don't take things lightly like me." He places his arm around my shoulder. He must have felt me tense for a moment because he took his arm away. "Sorry." he says looking down at the ground. I shake my head. "It's alright." I mumble.
We sit in silence again for a while before two boys run up to us. One sits down next to me, the other next to him. "Hey beautiful." One says, wrapping his arm around me. "Minho her names Ellie. Ellie that's Minho, sorry he's a bit...well full on, you know?" I nod as I push Minho's arm off me. The other waves at me. "I'm Thomas." he says, leaning over Minho and holding out his hand. I shake it gently. At least he isn't as full on as Minho. "So, Ellie." Minho says, looking me up and down. He stares at me for a moment. "Yes?" I ask. "Dude, stop." Thomas says clicking his fingers in front of Minho's face. Minho jumps a little as if he was daydreaming. "I...I better get going." He says standing up and he walks away.
Thomas scoots over next to me and gives me a friendly smile. "Hey. Erm sorry about Minho." "Its alright." I sigh. "No Ellie, it's not acceptable. If anyone bothers you, you need to tell me, Alby or Gally." says Newt. He stands up and walks away. "See you later Ellie, Thomas."
So it's just me and Thomas. "Hey Thomas, why am I here? I mean why did I come up in a cage?" "I don't know. We was all sent up in the cage too." "What all at the same time, or separately like me?" I ask. "Separately. Alby was sent up first, had to stay here a whole month alone. Alby's the leader you see, Newt's second-in-command." he explains. "How long has Alby been here?" "3 years." I look at him. "What so we can't leave?" "We're finding a way out. Me and Minho." I nod. "Don't worry, we'll get out." he says.
