Chapter One

*Chloe*

I began my new life ... waking up lying down on the cold, hard floor. Opening my eyes, only to see darkness. Where in the heck am I? Is this some sort of Asylum?

I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping it was just a bad dream. Wondering if I had any memories I could remember. All I seemed to know was my name. Chloe! Did I have a family,friends,pets, or even a place to call home?

My thoughts were shortly interrupted by  creepy slow breathing to my left. I froze, paralyzed by fear. I held my breath, making my body as still as possible.

" Hello?" A voice called. It was definitely a boys voice. No girls voice could be that deep. Unless he is transgender. Which is totally cool with me by the way. Jeez, I'm sorry for rambling a lot. " Who's there" he said voice shaking.

" Um, hi.. I'm Chloe." I finally had the courage to say. " What's you're name? " I'll admit I'm a little shaking up at the moment.

" I'm, Thomas. Where are we?" The boy spoke up, the sound of his voice is very comforting. I started to calm down a bit.

" I really don't have a clue. It's like a cold metal shaft of some sort." I replied unsure.

Suddenly I felt a warm hand on my shoulder , and I yelped. Startled I fell backwards into the wall. Whacking my leg in the process as I landed on the ground.

" I'm sorry." Thomas said sounding worried. " I didn't mean to scare you. Are you okay? I probably freaked the poor kid out.

" Yeah, I'm okay." I answered. " Thanks. I'm sorry I screamed like a total girly-girl." I continued, a little bit ashamed. Yet it started to melt away by his concern for my well being.

" It's cool." He replied. " I'm freaking out myself. I'm guessing it's just you and I are the only two down here?"

I shrugged. " That's a really good question." Wondering to myself if anyone else was down here.

My thoughts were yet again interrupted by a scary sound of chains and pulleys grinding together. I put my hands to my ears. Ugh... it's like the screeching of nails on a chalkboard. Very nerve racking

Then it hit me. It's an Elevator. Where is it taking us?

---------------------------------------------------------------- 

*Newt*

Today was as normal a day as any as any. Just helping Alby with jobs around the Glade. Alby yelling orders a people as usual. I'm a little more gentle when I give orders. That's just my nature I guess. Suddenly the loud irritating ringing of that Slinthead of a box.

Brilliant, just bloody splendid I thought to myself. It's that time of the month for a new Greenie. All those little shanks must be lined up buy now, trying to sneak a peek at the new little bugger. Poor kid as no idea whats going on. We all ran to the box, crowding all around it.

Alby and I share a look.

"Poor little shank." I muttered.

Then a sonic boom announced that the bloody lift had arrived. A cheerful voice came from behind me. "This is so exciting!" it had to be chuck, turning around to see who it was. Yep they're the chubby little bugger is fidgeting. Adorable little bugger.

"Yeah, Chuckie it's bloody epic." I replied patting his head. Then turning my attention back to the box.

Alby lifted left side door of the box, I lifted the right. Slowly the doors open. My mouth dropped open.  Not just one greenie but two. One boy, one girl. They both had the same expression confused and scared.  

A girl.

The girl was tiny and angelic, wearing a purple tie-dye tank top, black shorts,and grey converse. Then my attention went to the boy he was tall, kinda skinny,wearing a gray long sleeve shirt with buttons,black pants and brown combat boots. My mind kept going back to the girl, I studied her again.

She had the face of an angel, pretty hazel eyes, long brown hair. It made Newt's insides feel weird . Like weird in a good way. He'd never felt like this before, not that he could remember. For some odd reason he felt connected to her in some way.

"Hey, Newt you alright?" Alby asked, pulling me out of my daze.

Everyone was staring at me. I blinked a few times.

"You guys your not going to bloody believe this." I mutter turning to the gladers. "We have not  only  a boy newbie.. there is a girl in the box too."

Everyone grasped and some mumbled.

" A girly!" Gally cheered, I rolled my eyes.

"That's what I just said shuck-face!" I said glaring at him.

"What does she look like?" one boy said.

"She's probably a cutie."  another said.

"I call dibs on her." a third boy sang.

"Shut the shuck up" I shouted.

"How old is she?"

"Enough! Shut your bloody shucking holes!"

Then the I hear the girls voice coming from of The Box. Turning my head to the direction of The Box.

"Can someone please get us out of here? It smells like feet and mold down here." she shouted.

Us?! Oh, yeah they're is a boy down in The Box with her as well.

"Hold On. I 'll be right down." I replied as I  jumped down onto the cold metal shaft. I walked over and crouched down next to the girl. I felt someone else jump into the shaft, too my surprise it was Gally. He went over to the boy.

Why can't he find something else to do besides get on my nerves.

"Rise and shine, Greenie!" He chuckled, grabbing him be the collar and swooping out with the boy.

I turned back to the girl before quickly hoisting her up out of the box, I followed up after her. Every Glader was looking at her in shock. She was indeed cute.

Those pretty hazel eyes.

The girl blinked in confusion. She looked at everyone.

"Nice to meet you, Newbie." Alby said. "Welcome to the Glade"

Finally finished the first chapter for The Maze! I hope you enjoy it! I kinda used the line Gally said in the trailer! <3   -Sami
