"I'm Newt by the way," The boy introduces himself and I smile "I'm (y/n)," I tell him and he blinks at me before smiling down at me again. "That's a beautiful name, love," he tells me and he continues to lead me to the building I'd just escaped from. I swallow hard unsure and Newt noticed my hesitation and began to rub circles into my back. "Hey, listen, I won't let anything happen to you. Everybody woke up here just like you so don't worry," Newt tells me and I smile at him and nod "Okay,"
When entering what Newt refers to as the homestead I feel sweat prickle my skin, and it doubles when I still don't notice a single girl in sight. I do however see dozens of boys, gross and sweaty boys. Newt guides me towards a boy in the center of the room which has Gally standing behind him. The boy's hair is shaved off and he has muscles beginning to show underneath his shirt. His entire vibe screams leader, as he surveys the room. "Alby, this is (Y/n)," Newt introduces me and Alby seems to blink shocked for a second "You're quick, usually takes these shanks a week to remember their names," Alby tells me and I smile "Well as you can tell, I'm not quite like the rest of them," I tell him and he smirks slightly.
"Clearly," he tells me before he turns his attention back to the crowd of boys in front of us. "Okay, listen up! The greenie has been found, all of you shanks better treat her just like you'd treat any other greenie. Anything less and you won't get a chance to seek forgiveness in the pit," Alby tells the group, and while he speaks my eyes travel the room. My eyes find Gally standing a few steps away from me glaring daggers. I can see where the bandages wrapped around his arm a light crimson stain can still be seen. I look away quickly feeling guilt begin to pool in my stomach but Newt's hand still rests comfortably on my back calming any nerves I have.
Alby soon dismisses the boys sending them to bed, but Newt, Gally, and I hang back waiting for Alby to rejoin us. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions, so let's get you some answers," Alby tells me before heading out of the building and I follow behind him eagerly, even though I move out of the warmth Newt had been providing. "This is the glade," Alby tells me as I jog up beside him "We eat here, sleep here, and build our own shelter," Alby starts and I look out over the glade struggling to make much out in the dark "Why are we here? Who put us here?" I ask my look turning to a glare before looking to Alby.
"We don't know, once a month the box comes up with a new greenie and fresh supplies," He tells me and at the mention of the word greenie I look back at Gally. "So greenie that's your word for the new member of the glade?" I ask and Alby snickers slightly "glader, you'll pick up on all the glader slang soon enough though," He tells me before turning to finally acknowledge Newt and Gally following behind us. "One of these two shanks will be my second in command come next month," Alby says and Newt gives a sweet smile while Gally just gives a glare. I immediately hope it'll be Newt as I match Gally's glare with my own.
