Part 2

" Look you need to calm down Miss" The black body told me " Calm down? I just woke up and found myself in a place I have never seen before surrounded by about thirty boys, please explain to me how I'm supposed to be calm!" I retorted and the black boy looked surprised by my answer obviously a little confused on how exactly to approach this matter.

" Well I get it, it's weird to wake up like that, but needless to say you are stuck here. This place is called the glade, we all live, eat, and sleep here and so will you. My name is Alby" The black boy whose name I suppose now is Alby answered. I looked at him trying to figure out if this was a trick or something but the way he looked at me with those intense eyes said different.

" Ok fine, but I swear if you guys try anything I wil- Don't worry, anyone who attempts to hurt a glader must answer to me" Alby said towards all the boys. I took a breath ripped myself away from the boy who had been holding me arms. I turned and glared at him and he returned it, he was actually quite handsome but judging how there was a purple bruise appearing on the side of his cheek depicted that we most likely wouldn't be best of friend.

" Come with me greenie, I will show you around" Alby claimed and I followed him and ignored the numerous and never ending stares that I received.

" So what did you call this place again?" I asked curiously and looked around at the large landscape. There were trees to my right looking like a small forest but to my right was a large field that looked good for growing crops. In the middle was a large hut with similar smaller huts around it. Obviously where most of the boys lived and ate. But around all of it was the enclosing giant stone walls.

" We call it the glade. I have been here for three years, I am the leader here. Everyone has a job and we all work everyday, there are keepers for all the jobs menacing the leader for their specific job. We don't really know why we are here but every month they send someone new, typically a boy but you are our first girl" Alby finished bluntly as he continued to walk and gestured to the large hut " That's the mess hall, we eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner there every day" He claimed and I nodded as he continued explaining different parts of the glade. All the while, dozens of the boys were watching us like hawks, it was quite creepy and returned several of the stares glaring at them.

Once Alby was done he turned to me as if expecting me to say something " You said something about jobs?" I asked. Alby nodded " Well there are quite a few jobs, firstly Track hoes, they work in the garden picking and planting fruits and vegetables" Alby suggested and I rose a brow, that sounded so boring.

Alby smiled softly from my reaction " No? Well there are also cooks and med jacks, cooks obviously cook in the mess hall, and med jacks are practically the doctors" Alby suggested again.

Cook and clean all day? Nope.

Help people who are hurt and feel bad for them all day? Nope.

" Yeah, no" I answered back. " Uh you could be a builder maybe, they build the huts and fix things" Alby said said shrugging. Building things? I like building things, I liked problem solving too.

" Builders? That actually sounds interesting" I said crossing my arms over my chest.

Alby looked surprised " Well the builders keeper is Gally, you know that guy you punched earlier?" Gally asked and I nodded " That's Gally" Alby explained. Well that's just great.

" I'm sure we'll get along just fine" I said shrugging and smirked. That Gally boy would simply have to deal with me.

" Well builders are normally the bigger and stronger people you know" Alby said blandly and I quirked a brow. " Alby I am 5'8 I'm not a little girl" I snapped back crossing my arms over my chest.

Alby nodded and chuckled " Say do you remember your name yet?" Alby asked curiously.

" My name is.... my name is Fe-...... my name is Ferris!" I said like a little kid sounding out a weird word.

" Well then Ferris, make sure to be at the bonfire tonight, we always have one every time a new greenies comes" Alby explained and left me and I nodded.

I looked around at the looming walls and then back to the mess hall and the rest of the glade.

I could see the boy with the quirked eyebrows, Gally I am pretty sure glaring at me next to the entrance of the mess hall. I rose a brow.

This would be an interesting night.
