Darkness. Crates and bags. Loud, mechanical grinding noises. Red lights. All of these surround me as I sit in the corner of a moving metal box. I only remember one thing: my name. I have no idea where I am, how long I've been in here, how I got here, why I'm in this box, or anything about myself. All of these questions are consuming my thoughts so much that I don't notice the box has stopped.
A brightness suddenly fills the box and I shrink back further into the box, hiding behind a large crate. After shielding my eyes for minute or two, my eyes adjust to the light and I see a shadow drop down into my box. Huh, my box. That's new; guess I've grown attached to this box and it's now like a home to me. Home, something else I know nothing of. I'm once again so wrapped up in my thoughts that I don't notice looking at me from the top of the large crate I am hiding behind.
"It's a girl," he hollers up to the top of the box, shaggy blond hair falling in front of his face. I hear various voices start shouting.
"How old is she?"
"Why do we JUST NOW have a girl in here?"
"What's she look like?"
"Why is there a shuck girl?"
All of these voices are ringing in my head. Haven't they seen a girl before? Surely there's other girls here, though I don't know why they're acting this way because I'm nothing special. The blond-haired boy walks over to me, offering his hand and helping me up. I hesitantly accept it and follow him over to a rope hanging down with a loop at the bottom.
"The name's Newt, Greenie," he tells me as I step onto the loop with him and get pulled up out of my box. "Welcome to the Glade." I turn and get one last look at my box that I'm leaving behind before I get helped to my feet.
