The Maze Runner imagines

Arriving at the Glade ~Newt

The room is dark and you can't see a thing. You let your eyes get used to the darkness and try to find out as much as possible about this strange room. You also have the weird feeling that you're going upwards which would explain the noises you're hearing.

You try to stand up but because of the moving room that's impossible so you sit down again against the cold metal. It's unbelievely warm in here and you feel the sweat on your forehead. You're scared, but don't want to admit this to yourself since you want to feel like a strong woman.

Suddenly, the room thingy stands still and you look up. You hear the sound of metal on metal. The sunshine hits you and you immediately close your eyes to protect them against the sun. After a while you open them again and look back up. Your eyes still hurt, but it's already less then painfull then before.

You see a bunch of faces, 50 at least, looking down at you. They're talking but you can't really hear what they're saying and some of the words you do hear you can't understand. A tall boy, dark hair and dark eyes, jumps into the room which turns out to be some kind of cage like thing and bends over you.

He offers you his hand and says: "rise and shine greenie." "What do you see Gally?" Another guy yells. The boy, Gally, replies with: "It's a girl." He sounds shocked which surprises you. You decide to ignore it and you take the hand he offers you.

Gally lifts you up and when you're out of the cage he lets go of you. He walks away and a blond boy walks over to you. "My name is Newt. Welcome to the Glade." The boy, Newt, has an accent, but you don't know where it's from. "What's your name?" He asks with a smile on his face. "I-I don't know." You say. Why can't you remember your name? "It's okay. This happened to all of us. You get your name back in a couple of days."

The boys surrounding you are looking at you like a piece of meat. You go stand closer to Newt because for some reason, you already feel safe around him.

"Let me show you around okay? Oh, and don't mind the other Gladers. They may look like they would, but they would never actually hurt you. I'll make sure of that." You smile and nod. You follow him around the 'Glade' as he calls it while he starts telling you about it.
