"Yes!" the kids chorused.

"He ran over to Frankie and—" Sonya made her voice sounded gruff on purpose and knelt by Frankie's side, "Frankie! We have to move! Look, everyone's hiding into the pods!"

Gally and Thomas watched their significant others and friends in pure amusement. Who would've thought that those girls could be strong fighters and cute actresses altogether?

"I wish we had a camera right now," Jorge sighed, "Moments like this are way too precious."

"HEY, HEY, CAN you hear me?"

Penny felt several hands shaking her shoulders vigorously. She cracked her eyes open just as a palm made contact with her cheek and saw lousy, grey sky.

"O— Oops, sorry. Didn't know you were awake. You okay, kid?"

"Yeah," She forced herself to stand up. She could see pairs of hands hovering around her body, in case she felt dizzy and fell.

"Where—" Penny's eyes caught the gigantic, stony walls in front of her and she gasped. It was so tall, it felt monstrous. She twirled —the walls surrounded her like jail. In a sudden, suffocating realization, she tripped over her own foot and nearly fell.

Then her eyes traveled to other, smaller details, like the green grass and grovels under her dirty shoes. The packs of people scattered around the opening. The crickety, wooden structure standing on her left. A few other teenagers still lying unconscious on her right.

"What—" Penny stumbled back. Fear of the unknown future clenched her stomach up to her throat. "Where am I? What is this place?"

"We don't know," the older man who slapped her earlier answered, "Some said it's called 'the Glade'. We were taken hostage here, too."

"B— B— But," Penny's voice broke and she sobbed, "But I was just out for five minutes. Five minutes, to buy lollipops."

"I'm sorry, kid, but no lollipops here."
