She woke up in a metal box. It was dark and silent and her memory was all wiped and all she could remember was her name. Gabriella. She scooted to a corner and her body waved of fear. Suddenly the box started to go up.

"Hey.... Help......... Me!" She says with her voice uneven

She stands up and bangs on the sides of the metal box. Nothing happens it just keeps going up. Suddenly she sees a big red light above her and she falls back to the corner. The box stops for about a minute or so before it starts to open. A thin white light comes through the box stinging her eyes. She covers her face with both hands trying to adjust to some of the light. She hears a noise of metal being hit and notices a boy standing in front of her. He had blonde hair and was really thin. She looks up and sees a bunch of boys staring down to see what's going on.

"Its a girl." The blonde boy says in a British accent

"Take her to the Med-jacks." One of the boys said

Before the blonde boy could get me out of the box, I notice one of the guys standing in the crowd. He definitely caught my eye. The blonde boy takes me to a tiny hut made from straw and two other guys take me in and put me on a bed. I have no idea who any of these people are and their touching me? How do I know I can trust them?

"These guys are Clint and Jeff. Their Med-jacks. Kinda like nurses you could say." The blonde guy said

I just nod and look down

"Not much of a talker are you? I'm Newt." He says

"Hi." I whisper

"Do you remember anything? Your name?" He asks

"Gabriella." I say

"Nice to meet you Gabriella. Hey, what's that you have in your pocket?" He asks

I look down and notice I have two small containers with some blue liquid inside and a slip of paper. I hand them to Newt so he can examine them. He reads the note out loud:

"She's the last one ever." It read

"What the hell does that mean?" He asks

I shrug my shoulders and Newt takes me to the garden which is gonna be my main job

_______________
Ugh. Gardening was so much work. Why does gardening have to be MY job?

"Hey greenie, this is Chuck. He's gonna be taking you in." Newt says leaving me and Chuck alone

"This is gonna be your place Gabriella." He says

"Why is there another hammock?" I ask

"Because Thomas also stays here." He says making my hammock

"Thomas?" I ask

"Yea. You haven't met him yet?" He asks

"No." I said

"Well, now you can. Here he comes." He says pointing to the left

The same guy that caught my eye in the crowd of boys earlier came in. He was almost my height but obviously taller, muscular and really cute

"Gabriella, this is Thomas." Chuck says leaving us two alone

"So your the new greenie huh?" He asks

"Uhh, yea." I say quietly

"You don't have to be shy around me you know? Unlike most of these guys, I actually try to have a conversation with new people." He said

"I'm not much of a conversation starter." I said

"Me either. Let's just go to bed. We have another big day a head of us." He says going to sleep
