New greenies

Up top is ash aka Emma Watson

A boy wakes up gasping in shock, looking around at his surroundings to find himself in a dark place, then noticed the he's in a lift, taking him somewhere, past electric lights, he attempted to get up, but the shook from the lift made him stumble and fell on someone, making them groan, it was a girl

  "Hello?" He called out, she looked up and him and gasps in fear, backing away, and hitting the wall " hello?!" He yells again for someone else, received no answer, still coughing and wheezing  "Hello?" He called out again, no answer, then yelped when he heard something in the boxes squealing, which was a pig, that he discovered when he got a closer look and jumped back surprised, making the girl crumple into a ball, he climbed on one of the boxes and stared banging on The roof of the lift "Hey! Hey! Help us!" He yelled, the lift was moving faster, towards a red light above, when it came he fell back, the light changed green with a beeping sound, the. Completely darkness, the only thing heard was his scared breathing

The top opened, Both covered his eyes from The blinding light, people grounding around the top, but, no girls, just boys, they open the box

Then one of the  jumps down into the box as the boy looks at him.  "Day one greenie. Rise and shi-." Gally says as he picks him Up and stopped when he noticed the girl His eyes widened even further as they locked with hers, and her own eyes seemed to reflect his wide-eyed expression.

unsure about how to react to the other.  "Hey, what's going on down there?" A voice with an accent I didn't recognise spoke up, and my ears perked up slightly at the sound of it.   "There are two of 'em." The muscular boy informed the accented one, raising his interestingly defined eyebrows. His words started a lot of commotion and muttering, something that made the girl even more uneasy than she already was.  "Two Greenies?" 

"Impossible." 

"He's just talking klunk." 

"What do the shanks look like?" 

"Slim it!" Another voice shouted, and the boy with the accent jumped down into the box as well.

The two made eye contact and his dark brown orbs were clouded with confusion. But there was a distinct interest in them as he saw me.  "That's not bloody half of it." He spoke, accent shining through as he practically spluttered in shock. "One of them isn't just another Greenie." 

"And the other?" a loud, powerful voice inquired.  "Well... the other's a bloody girl." The strawberry blonde haired boy admitted, looking up at the others.

Loads on top were talking
"A girl?!" 

"I've been shucked and gone to heaven!"

  "What's she look like?"

"How old is she?"

" slim it!"

the two were thrown up onto the ground as the boys crowd around talking among themselves.

"He looks like a slopper to me."

"I could use some help in the kitchen"

" damn she's hot!"

The girl the gets up and pushes past them before she starts running

"We got a Runner!" One blond shouts, the guys continue shouting, as the girl runs, for a few seconds she ran like a bullet, Then, she tripped and fell over, rolling a little on the ground painfully.

"Oh!" The guys winch she got up, and then around her surroundings

No one pov

The two was thrown into the slammer, and the guys lock it and walk off " all yours" he slowly walks crawls over, holding the bamboo bar for support, and looks outside, towards the opening the boy looked at the moment he fell and got back up " hey" he fell back when someone appeared in front of him, kneeling down " hey there green beans" a dark skinned boy says " either of you are gonna run? Oka?" They nods slight as did the other guy " good" he unlocks it and opens the door "My name is Alby" he introduced "Can you tell me anything" the they lowed his head trying to think "about yourselfs? Who you are? Where you came from? Anything at all?" Rhenguy actually said his name "Thomas." the other guy says

" you?" Alby looks at the girl, she shakes her head

"Can you tell me your name?" Alby asked, she thought as hard as she could, but her name didn't seem to come back, She seemed scared by that "uh,I can't...remember anything..."

" me either..." Thomas looked up at alby "Why  can I remember my name but she can't - why can't we remember anything?"

"It's okay." The guy was about to start hyperventilating "Hey, relax. Relax. It's normal." He stopped and looked back up at Alby "it happens to us all." He gestured his head to the people outside, he then looked at the girl "You'll get your name back in a day or two." He assured "It's the one thing they let us keep." The boy looked back up at him confused

"What is this place?" Alby smiles reassuringly, lends out his hand "Let me show you."

Alby took the two on a tour of the glade "We eat here," Alby explained, pointing to certain areas as they walked across the grassy areas of the Glade. "Sleep, here, grow our own food and build our own shelter. Whatever we need, the box provides." He paused. "The rest is up to us."

"The box?" Thomas asked looking towards the box, where gally and the other builders were pulling out todays shipment

"Yeah. They send it up once a month with fresh supplies and a new Greenie." He smiled " today, that's you two. Though We don't usually get two at once; that's what makes the both of you a little different."

"Sent up? By who, though – who put us here?" Thomas asked, appearing to be just as curious and nosy

"That we don't know," Alby said straightforwardly.  "Hey, you alright Alby?" the boy with the accent appeared again, grinning cheerfully, it was newt, walking up with a smile

"Green beans, meet Newt." Alby introduced, smiling. "When I'm not around, he's in charge." He added as Newt shook the new guys hand

"Well, it's a good thing you're always around then." Newt joked, sending the girl a friendly wink "Listen, that was some dash you made earlier." He told her. "For a second I thought you had the chops to be a Runner." Newt admitted and here it comes. "Until you you face planted."

Alby and Newt laughed and the girl looked confused before turning to alby

"Wait, Runner?" Thomas asked confused as well

"Newt, do me a favour and find Chuck?" Alby questioned Newt, ignoring his words and changing the subject quickly

"Thanks." Alby acknowledged, nodding before turning around to the two. "Look, I gotta rush this. You came up a little late. We've got a lot to do. Got something special planned tonight." He said, smiling at them. Alby walked ahead of them, leading him to a tall wooden tower.

"Hope you're not afraid of heights." Alby teased, climbing up first. "Let's go, c'mon." Alby waited at the top for the greenies, who then finally made it to the top where he could see the whole glade apart from beyond

"This is all we got," Alby informed. "We've worked hard for it. If you respect this place – you and I'll get along just fine." He said, his voice laced with a warning tone "What's out there?" Thomas asked, pointing to the large opening in the walls. From what could be seen, it lead to a dark place with vines, spider webs, and turns up ahead

"Look," Alby said after a sigh. "We only have three rules here. First: do your part. We don't have time for any freeloaders." The Girl dragged her eyes away from the Maze and looked at the Sony, he went on "Second: never harm another Glader. None of this works unless we have trust." Then the last  "And most importantly: never go beyond those walls. I cannot stress that one enough. You understand me, Greenies?" Alby's tone and expression were stern, making the two nod silently.

"Hey, Alby!" The three look over to see a chubby boy with a child-like grin and a rosy red tint on his round cheeks

"Hey, Chuck! Where you been, man?" Alby replied happily, waving at Chuck as he grinned

Time skip

"It's basically the same story for all of us." Chuck spoke up as he tightened greenies  hammocks as the other was finished

"Wake up in the box, Alby gives us the tour, then here we are." The girl looked at the Thomas and saw him still staring at the walls of the maze, as if he was completely transfixed

"Don't worry, you're doing better than I did " he admired the good work " I clunked my pants three times before they got me out of the pit." He looked to where the Thomas was only to see him walking away to opening

"No, come on." He complain " are you crazy?!" The girl whispered as Chuck ran up to him

"Dude, where are you going?" Chuck questioned

"I'm just going to take a look."  He stated, eyeing the opening with something like awe. 

"You can look around all you want but you better not go out there," Chuck warned, his short legs still having a lot of difficulties trying to keep up with them " why not? What's through there" the girl asked

"We don't know. We just know what we're told: that we're not supposed to leave." Chuck explained, his voice growing more worried the closer they got to the maze.

Chuck smiled when he saw two familiar faces run back in, Minho and ben

"Hey Chuck, new Greenie, huh?" A boy with light hair said as he jogged over, smiling kindly at Chuck. "How does it feel to be promoted?" he teased. "Feels great, Ben." Chuck grinned excitedly, holding his thumbs up.

The other boy, a muscular Asian boy about the age of seventeen, stopped his running completely in order to stare at the girl, shock clear in his eyes.

This caused Ben to stop running to see what all the fuss was about, and he too stared. "I've been shucked and gone to heaven." The Asian boy spoke, the phrase that she had heard earlier when they got out of the box. Then, he smiled at her

"I'm Minho." He introduced himself, taking her hand and raising it to his lips, kissing her knuckles charmingly. The action should probably have her blush,

"Did you both arrive today?" Ben asked, sounding far more confused than excited, apparently the opposite of Minho. "And one of you's a shuck girl?"

"You know, you're the first person today that's told me that," she told Ben sarcastically, and Minho grinned, stifling a laugh

"I think we're going to get along just fine." Minho promised. "Everyone's freaking out a little," Chuck told Ben and Minho, shrugging nonchalantly.

"But I guess there's a first time for everything." he added. "Well, it's nice to meet you Greenies. Remember your names yet?" Ben questioned, a welcoming grin on his face, She really hoped everyone else would be as accepting as Ben was " I have, I'm Thomas, but for some reason she hasn't" Thomas says " well... hopefully you'll remember soon" he said before the two leave

"I thought no one was allowed to leave." Thomas said " I said we're not allowed to leave. They're different, they're runners." Chuck said

"They know more about the maze than anyone." He adds, without realising "Wait, what?" Thomas says as the girl looks confuse

" What?"  Chuck asked " What?You just said "maze." The girl said "I did?" Chuck points at himself

"Yeah."

"Where are you going? What are you doing?" Chuck panicked " I'm just gonna take a look. " he assured

"I told you, you can't" Chuck whisper trying to stop this stupid shank

"No one leaves, especially now," Chuck added, his eyes widened with a tinge of fear. "It's not safe." He concluded, peaking the Thomas interest even more.

"Okay, I'm not gonna go..." Thomas mumbled a promise, walking towards the Maze at a slow pace.

There was an eerie sort of silence as he did so and the girl stepped forward to stop him But Chuck pulled her back, using all of his energy to stop her by dragging her back with all of his body weight. 

  Just as the Thomas reached the entrance, someone grab him and yell, making me jump in surprise, and Chuck stopped pulling me. "HEY!" they yelled out, It was gally

grabbing the Greenie by his shoulders and shoving him, hard. As a result, the Greenie flew into the air momentarily, and ended up crashing to the ground with a painful crack, rolling on the dusty ground.

The girl cringed "We gotta stop meetin' like this, Greenie." Gally tried to joke.  "Get off me!" Thomas yelled, scrambling to his feet and kicking the boy away as he tried to get closer.

There was something about his actions that made me fear.  "Alright calm, calm, calm." Gally, said, holding his hands up in surrender.

Trying to calm him down  "DON'T TOUCH ME!" Thomas continued to shout, kicking away any attempts of help and the girls eyes widened.

  "Woah, take it easy, take it easy! Just relax!"  A crowd of the boys formed around Greenie, all trying to calm the boy down, but he was still in panic

"What the hell is wrong with you guys?!" Thomas exclaimed, his eyes looking around at the crowd that was forming around him, frantically searching for someone.

"Just slim yourself nice and calm, alright?" Newt tried to help, holding out his hand to appear unthreatening and calm. His stance showed that he was being nice, and his expression was more worried than anything else. 

"No, why won't you tell me what's out there?" Thomas tone was urgent and afraid.

  "Just  trying to protect you." Alby reassured, helping him up before he dusted down his clothes, now full of dust from where he was pushed "It's for your own good," Alby added emerging through the crowd, trying to keep the peace.

"You can't just keep me here!" Thomas shouted, stepping further and further away from everyone as he spoke. He seemed to be trembling, and his footing was unstable; clumsy "You can't just keep me here!" Thomas shouted, stepping further and further away from everyone as he spoke, of we don't get him away from those doors he's gonna be in real trouble

"And we can't let you leave!" Alby insisted, motioning to the maze

"Why not?" Almost as if on cue, a screeching sound had cut me off before anyone could warn him, and everyone staring down the maze

A loud, abrupt roar emitted from inside the maze, followed by a strong gust wind that blew up the remainder of leaves and dust on the floor. Everyone, including myself, raised their arms to their faces to protect their eyes but the Thomas merely squinted, unable to glance away from the maze. He seemed as if he were in a trance.

"What the hell?" He muttered as the girl clutched her forearm staring just as shocked

A grinding noise followed the screeching from within the maze. This time, it was a mechanical noise, much like a wheel turning.

The gap in the wall started closing, until it finally shut

"Next time, I'm gonna let you leave." gally said before walking away, as did everyone else, but the girl, the greenie and alby " welcome to the glade" he said then turned to leave too, the two stared at the maze doors that were closed

Time skip

"Light him up!" Alby shouted, and everyone proceeded to light the large fire that would be warming us for the evening, the flames went blaze and the rest of the gladers starting cheering while chanting " gladers!"

Some boys had been banging on makeshift drums they must have created and others just stood by, weird dance, drinking,

Thomas and the girl, weren't participating, just sitting with newt, away from the excitement "Hell of a first day, Greenies" newt says, they stays silent but nods, newt then picks up a jar of liquid and offers it  "Here. Put some hair on your chest."


Thomas Reluctantly, he grabbed it and immediately started chugging it down

he then began chocking on it, spitting the drink out, the girl stiffed a laughter

"Oh my god, what is that?" he spluttered, making Newt laughs in amusement, taking back the jar "I don't even know." Newt confessed,  as he examined the jar for a moment after taking it from the Greenie's outstretched hand

. "It's Gally's recipe." Newt took a sip from the liquid, completely unfazed by the taste, looking over at him wresting with the other gladers. "A trade secret." He added in a false mysterious tone. 

"Yeah well he's still an asshole." Thomas mumbled " he saved you life today, Trust me, the maze is a dangerous place."newt says


"We're trapped here, aren't we?" Thomas  asked Newt, looking thoughtful as he stared at the closed stone walls of the maze

"For the moment." Newt accepted. "But," he turned around and we did too as he pointed to a group of boys. "You see those guys, there? By the fire? Those are the Runners.". "And see that guy in the middle?" he motioned to Minho.

"He's the Keeper of the runners," Newt added on to the information I already knew of. Now, this intrigued the girl. "Now, every morning when those doors open, they run the Maze. Mapping it. Memorising; trying to find a way out." The girl dragged her eyes away from the Runners and locked eyes with Newt's brown irises.  "How long have they been running it?" She asked cautiously, almost afraid to hear his answer.

Newt swallowed harshly, looking down at his hands. She followed his gaze and saw he was nervously playing with his calloused fingers. "Three years." He answered in a slight mumble,

....Three years. They had been trapped here for three years. 

"And they haven't found anything?" Thomas exclaimed "It's a lot easier said than done." Newt says

"Listen... Hear that?..." he trailed off, pointing to his ear as they stayed silenced .

A distinct noise. It was mechanical, the sound of metal grinding and moving. "It's the maze." Newt elaborated "changing. It changes every night."

"How is that even possible?" The girl asked "You can ask the people who put us in here, if you ever meet the bastards." Newt replied, then Says

"Listen, The truth is: the Runners are the only shanks that know what's out there." Newt paused, for a moment "They're the strongest and fastest of us all, which is a good thing too...because if they don't make it back before those doors close...then they are stuck out there for the night." Newt states "And no one has ever survived a night in the maze." He says shaking his head no

"What happens to them?" Thomas asks

"Well, we call 'em Grievers." Newt paused, trying to figure out how to explain it. "Of course no one's ever... Seen one and lived to tell about it... But they're out there."

"Right, that's enough questions for one night. Come on. You're supposed to be the guests of honor." He says in a sarcastic and playful in his last sentence

" oh no no" thomas protested "No no, c'mon. Let me show you around." Newt helped him up, as the girl got up herself They walked along the gladers

"Over there we've got the Builders." Newt began to explain, pointing at them. "Good with their hands but there's not a lot going on upstairs..." he pointed to his head in a teasing matter and I chuckled

. "And then we've got... Winston. He's the Keeper of the Slicers. And we've got two Med-jacks!" He pointed at the two boys passing by. "Clint and Jeff!"

"Oh hey!" "What up, Newt?" they greeted, then continued walking

"They spend most of their time bandaging up the slicers," Newt told, pointing back at Winston with a grin.

"What if I wanna be a Runner?" the girl asked, the Thomas nods in agreement

"Have you listened to a word of what I just said?" Newt inquired disbelievingly at her "No one wants to be a Runner. Besides, you've gotta get chosen." He added with a scoff. "Chosen by who?" She asked

just then Gally wrestling someone behind the girl, slowly edging closer and bumps him into her "What do you say Greenie, wanna see what you're made of?" This caught a lot of people's attention and they started chanting "Greenie! Greenie! Greenie!" To encourage him

" what's wrong girly? Scared you'll mess your hair up? Break a nail?" He taunted smirking, she glared at him, about to walk in if Thomas hadn't stopped her " what are you doing?" He whispered harshly " exactly what he wants" she said, shaking his arm, as soon as she enters the circle they start cheering loudly while clapping

"Alright" gallynbegins as the cheering stops " the rules are simple greenie. I try to push you out of the circle and you try to last more than five seconds."the others start laughing "Ready?" Gally asks as he begins to fight with the her, Before she could even react, he pushed her to the other guys behind her who quarter before she fell, she got back up and tried to tackle and body move out of the way and she fell, they laugh while Thomas cringes, She lifts her head up and turns it to glare at gully " cmon greenie, we're not done yet" she gets up   "Stop calling me greenie." She says as she and Gally circle each other "Stop calling you that? What do you wanna be called? What do you want to be called? Shank? What do you say boys ? Does she look like a shank? You know what? I think I'll settle on shank." Gally says as he and the girl fight a bit before, the two push against each other, till he knocked her back down " know what? Think I'll settle with shank" he smirks, they laughed, something in her changed, she was pissed,

she gets back up, charging at him, to wrestle, just as he was about to push you over again, she moved to the side and tripped him over, making him hit the group
the glazers 'ohh'ed!' Very loudly  "Not bad for a greenie huh?" She asks smirking as Gally then knocks her to the ground hard, she hits her head, painfully as Gally gets up

" oh shrunk..." he says " okay maybe too far.." he admits

"Ash." She says, scrambling to get up "Ash. Hey! Ash! I remember my name! I'm ash!" The girl says

.  "Ash!" Alby shouts happily as the others cheer and go over to the girl.  "Welcome home ash." Frypan says as the group continues to cheer and celebrate.

"Good job... ash." Gally emphasised her name, shaking her hand

A loud screech interrupted everyone, causing all of the Gladers to fall into a tense silence as they stared at the walls of the Maze.  "What the hell was that?" Thomas asked, his voice shaking with fear.  "That my friend, was a Griever," Gally explained, a faraway look in his eyes as he dragged his eyes away from the walls. "Don't worry, you two are safe here with us." he patted ash on the back " nothing gets pass those walls"

" alright everyone, let's tuck in for the night" ally says, then clapped "cmon, goodnight" everyone then starts leaving f0r bed, leaving both ash and Thomas " cmon ash" he pulls her back to where their hammocks were put up

Everyone fell asleep, well everyone but ash, it was a little hard, especially with the sounds coming from the grievers in the maze, she turned over and shut her eyes, drifting off to sleep
