I was laying down on my, well bed is what they call it. I was looking up at the sky, the stars looked bigger than ever and the moon looked so close that you could almost grab it. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted away to the world were the dreams lay.

I opened my eyes but everything was dark. I tried so hard to see around me but it was impossible for me to see anything, all I could hear was the sounds around me. I heard some sort of growling around me. I felt my heart beating faster and faster by the minute and the sounds kept coming closer and closer, my breathing got harder since every time I tried to breath I struggled. It took all the energy I had to breath easily.

All of a sudden I felt this horrible pain in my chest like if someone or something impaled me, I touched my chest but I couldn't feel anything but the pain was still there. I could feel my breathing slowly stopping and again I started to close my eyes, the last thing I could hear was:
'Wicked is good?'

I opened my eyes as I sat up breathing heavily. I ran my hands through my hair as I looked around making sure I wasn't still dreaming but luckily I wasn't. My eyes got caught on well, I call her Blondie and Newt. They were walking towards the Maze as they were talking. I thought they looked cute together but instead of going over to them I just laid back down and sigh as I looked at my hands thinking about my dream. I was deep in my thought when a loud and terrifying scream made me jump up from my bed, I looked around to see where the scream came from as my eyes stopped on Thomas running out from the wood with another glader running right behind him, all of the sudden the other glader jumped on Thomas and I started running towards them. Everyone else were there too, Minho and Alby tried to stop him.

"What the hell is going on, who is that?", I asked Chuck that was standing beside me, he looked straight at me with his big eyes.

"It's Ben, and he just attacked Thomas", he whispered as I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Why? What the hell is wrong with him?", I whispered back as I looked back up to see 'blondie' and Newt running towards us, I grabbed her hand before she could go any further.

"What is going on?", she asked trying to make the scene. Alby had reported Ben to prison for now, so he could figure out why this had happened.

"Ben attacked Thomas..", I started but couldn't quite finish as our attention turned to Thomas again.

All of sudden 'Blondie' let go of my hand as she hinted me towards him, I gave her a confused look as I turned around and saw him running towards the outlook point, for me it looked more of a treehouse but whatever.

I walked slowly towards the ladder as I grabbed it and I climbed up, I opened the little door as I was on top, I got up and I could feel Thomas staring at me probably confused why I was there.

"Hi..", I said awkwardly as I looked up to meet his puppy looking hazel brown eyes, a little smile spread across my lips as I looked at him.

"Hey, what are you doing here?", he asked as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Just wanted to check if you were alright", I said as I sat with my arms crossed.

"Thanks." He said shortly and looked up as he gave me a small smile.

"So, why did he attack you?", I asked with big eyes and stared at him, he chuckled as he looked up straight into my eyes.

"I think he was stung", he answered as I raised my eyebrows at him and bite my lip.

"Stung? By what? A bee or something?", I asked as I chuckled a bit at the last guess.

"What a bee? No, by a griever", I gasped slightly, as I breathed out.

"What the hell is a griever?", I said as I sat a bit closer to him, he looked up as he smiled slightly.

"Well, no one really knows but they say that Grievers are very dangerous and once you get stung by them you can have trouble breathing, when you get stung it feels like you've been impaled and you can black out but when you wake up, you're completely different and you're very aggressive as you saw out there with Ben. But you can't feel it if you run your hand on the spot you've been impaled, you can only feel it inside. After that, you die", I just stared at him with big eyes as I gasped, that's exactly what happened to me in my dream.

I could feel my hands shaking as my eyes got a bit watery, he looked up and looked at me with a shocked expression.

"Don't be scared, that only happens if you spend a night in the maze", he thought I was scared but I wasn't, well I was a bit. Why did I dream that?

"It's not that", I mumbled as I shook my head while tears fell down my cheeks.

"Then what is it?", he said as he slowly grabbed my hands looking me in the eyes.

"The exact thing happened to me, in my dream last night. I dreamt that I got impaled by a griever and I couldn't breath or move and everything was so dark. I don't know why I dreamt that, I've never been in the maze and I haven't seen any grievers. And then at the end I heard a voice saying... 'Wicked is good'", I said as I looked in his eyes still shaking. All of sudden he embraced me in a hug that was so unexpected that I was just still like a doll, but I slowly wrapped my tiny arms around him.

"I've almost had the same dream, well not really because the only thing from my dream that was like yours was the voice saying 'Wicked is good' ", he said as he slowly lets go of me and looks in my eyes.

"What's does it mean?", I asked as I looked down, I wiped away my tears and looked back up at him.

"I don't know, but I promise I'm gonna figure it out", he answered and smiled.

"Thanks", I said and smiled back, I stood up to get down and again go back to the others.

"Um, can we just keep this between us for a while?", he asked as I turned around.

"Sure, and let's just say you never saw me crying", I smirked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, then I've never seen a tear leave those beautiful eyes", he agreed and smirked, I just shook my head slightly smiling and left.

I laid back onto the so called bed with my arms supporting my head under the pillow. I was in deep thought, barely noticing what was going on around me. Every little sound was blocked out by another thought or idea of how this place was built out. Where was this 'glade' anyways? For all I know we could be somewhere across the Pacific Ocean on a small island or something.

But the thing was, I didn't really care, and that was what frightened me. This place was strangely attracting, I had no idea where we were settled but at the same time I felt safe. Here I could sort of get a new start, a new life. I mean who wouldn't want a blank slate in life and just start over?

I rolled onto my back, shifting rather uncomfortably as I took in a deep breath. What I had learnt today was that those huge walls hade a sort of opening that closed each night and opened at first light in the mornings. It was strange, but it was as if something outside of those walls was calling for me, pocking for my attention. I just didn't know what ? yet. But I was determined to find out, one way or another.


The morning after I got awoken by someone shaking me roughly, not bothering the fact that I was a lady.

"Get ya bum up love, need to show ya somethin'", a deep British accent spoke, bringing me out of my dream state.

Tiredly I rubbed my eyes lightly, after that I got up, following the male in front of me. My gaze rested upon his strong back muscles, I was barely able to focus on where we were going as I couldn't look at anything else then Newt.

The blonde guy stopped just in front of one of the huge stone walls, a thick green ivy climbing up the wall over the top. A nervous feeling built up inside of me, it wasn't that I was scared; no more like the opposite. Newt turned his figure toward the wall, grabbing onto the ivy and pulling it aside slightly just to reveal a small square, meaning to be a window.

"What's this?", I asked a hint of tension in my voice. My eyes was glued to the darkness underneath the surface, but at the edge of my look I could see his eyes darted over from the window to me. A small smile laid upon his lips.

"We want ya to see the real.. thing", he answered slightly amused when I saw what was hiding in the corners. The creature was viscous, disturbing and made my insides hurt. Half-rotten flesh, half-machine and the sight made me feel sick. The thing turned our way, as if it saw us with no eyes and jumped onto the window but it didn't make a difference. Newt let go of the ivy again, making it fall back to it's place as he faced the wall.

"What the hell was that thing?", I questioned, barely able to stand properly. It had shaken me up more then what I thought it would. Somehow, I still needed to get out there.

"That, is why we don't go out there", he pointed toward the opening. Newt knew what I had been thinking of.

"How-..?", my words got interrupted when we all heard a scream from the other side of the glade. It was Thomas, something had happened. We exchanged a look, hurried over there and saw Ben, another Glader fighting his way through the teenagers.

I ended up next to Aurora, she grabbed onto my hand, as if to keep me from going any more forward.

"What is going on?", I asked trying to make the scene. Alby had gotten there and had reported Ben to prison for now, so he could figure out why this had happened.

"Ben attacked Thomas..", Aurora started but couldn't quite finish as our attention turned to Thomas again. I let go of Auroras hand and waved her off toward him, since I knew they had some sort of connection going on. I decided to go investigate instead, trying to avoid the looks I received from the bunch.

With light steps I made my way toward the custody, where Ben was held just to get stopped by one of the gladers, the guard I presume.

"She's good, let her through", said one of the others, I recognised him as one of the runners - Minho, I believe.

"What happened exactly?", I asked once I arrived, Minho looked at me, a smile coming onto his lips.

"Ben here, got stung", he answered calmly without letting out too much information. I nodded, slowly taking in the poor boy in the cage. He was drained, completely out of it. He looked almost dead, weird enough I had seen that before but I couldn't make out from where.

"Tell me Princess, would you like to see something cool?", he asked with a secretive tone. I scoffed and raised my eyebrow.

"Princess?", I questioned and he let out a chuckle.

"Since we don't know your name I thought..", he explained and I nodded with a smile.

"It's fine, what did you want to show me?", I asked once again as his face lit up into a smile. He looked around so no one else was around to see as he grabbed my arm and yanked me into a different direction.

Once we stopped a few feet into the forest, my sight met a smaller hay house of some sort. Minho led me through the opening, just to reveal a huge table with a model of what seemed to be the maze itself. Every little detail was pointed out, it was beautifully made.

"Wow", I exhaled and stared at the thing in amazement just as someone else walked through the door.

"What the bloody hell is she doin' here?", Newt bulked and cast a look my way, his arms tensed up into fists. I stared at him with shock, this couldn't be good.

I was focusing to see where I was but the thick darkness around me gave me a hard time seeing anything, I took a deep breath to see a glimpse of something but it was impossible. I could only hear loud noises, it's sounded like an elevator. I tried to stay sane for the moment because that's all I could do.

All of sudden I felt shifting next to me, like if something just moved. I stayed quiet to at least hear what it was, what if it was something dangerous? I didn't remember anything of how I got here or how it happened. The only thing I remember was my name. Aurora, that bugged me why couldn't I remember anything? That made me so frustrated that I let out a groan.

"Hello?", I heard a weak girls voice next to me, at least now I know it's a girl beside me.

"Who's there?", I said defensively, trying not to sound scared or worried. When I moved I felt a horrible pain on my side but I didn't let out a single noise.

"I-I don't know my name, in fact I barely know anything about me or where I am..", the girl started again, she sounded a bit scared or actually sad. But I understand where she was coming from since I don't remember anything either.

"All I know is.. that my names' Aurora", I answered and I tried to sit up. I managed to sit with my head in my hands trying to figure out how long we've been in this thing. Probably a while, 20 minutes at least.

We sat there in silence for some more minutes, I was about to say something to the girl next to me when the elevator stopped and I heard a loud alarming sound as if the elevator was telling someone we were here. Wherever here was.

Both me and the girl next to me gasped, we were stunned by the sudden stop and loud noise. I was about to stand up when door above us opened and revealed blue sky as the warm sun light hit my face. I covered my face with my hand because after not seeing anything but darkness it hurts to have that much light in your face. I removed my hands and looked up and looked at the crowd above me with a squinted eye. I just realised they were all boys.

"There's two people down there! And they're girls", said one of them with a surprised tone. Why was he surprised that it was two girls? I looked up and now I could see clearly with two eyes.

"Get 'em up here, will ya shank?", answered another with what sounded like a British accent. Murmurs went through the air nonstop as a rope was tossed down to the both of us. I sent a look to the other girls way, as to see if I should go up or not.

She nodded and I grabbed the rope, easily climbing up but then a pair of strong arms helped me up. As I stood up my eyes locked with this boy with hazel brown eyes and tousled brown hair, I looked away as I looked at the other girl.

"What's your name?", I heard a guy ask the other girl not bothering the multiple guys around us.

"I don't know..", she mumbled as my hand grabbed onto hers making sure she wasn't scared. The male nodded, turning to me.

"You?", he asked and looked over at another guy.

"Aurora", I answered as the guy nodded once again turning to a blonde guy who was kind of cute to be honest and I saw him whisper something to him, but there was something that was bothering me. All the guys around us gave me and the other girl some bad looks as if they were some wild predators and we were the food.

"Thomas", the guy who seemed like the leader said, searching through the crowd for a certain guy, the one he was looking for stepped forward, his eyes glued onto me. It was the guy that helped me up earlier.

"Yes, Alby?", the brown headed boy answered, almost out of breath. Alby seemed to be the leader, he was a muscular brown guy with big brown eyes, kind of attractive.

"Would you get these ladies to the Med?", he asked, but it was more of a request that couldn't be turned down. Thomas nodded, walking over to us and hinting us toward a smaller building built out of tree and hay. We followed him, having no idea of what was going on.

"Where are we?", I suddenly heard the other girls voice ask Thomas. Thomas just let out a somewhat of a chuckle. Why did he find this place funny? Because to be fully honest I didn't find it any sort of way funny. I found this place pretty creepy and scary. There were big walls all around us as if we didn't have a way out. Like were trapped here.

"This is the glade", he answered with ease, knowing exactly what to say. He then stopped outside the door of the house and opened it, waving us inside.

"Why are we here?", the girl asked, I felt a sudden sadness in her voice which I surprisingly didn't have. I just stood quietly next to her, with my arms crossed over my chest as my eyes were resting on Thomas' figure.

"For new beginnings", Thomas smiled and placed his eyes on the girl for a while before he looked at me with a certain look forming on his face, I look I couldn't exactly read.

"What the hell?", the girl muttered as Thomas had left. I just simply shrugged my shoulders and just like that the door opened once again, but this time it was the blonde guy. What now? Can't we two girls have a bit alone time to process this mess?

"Gals, Alby needs ya back at the box, rather hurriedly", he said in a British accent. He disappeared out the door as fast as he came in, leaving us in a dead silence. We hurried outside and went back the way we came, stopping by Alby.

"What's this?", Alby asked his voice demanding and powerful. He held up a small bag, containing some sort of bottles and a note. The other girl walked closer and grabbed the note, reading it.

This will be needed - WICKED IS GOOD'.

I raised my eyebrows as I looked at the note and then back at the girl as the guys formed a circle around us.

"I swear, I have no clue what this means", The girl started and looked over at me.

"I can't remember anything but my name", I said defensively because I didn't want these guys to think I was weak as Alby nodded as a response.

"Newt, what'cha think?", Alby asked the blonde british guy. I guess I learned his name now too, Newt. It was an odd name but it sounded a bit funny.

"If she knew something she'd better bloody tell us by now", he answered and Alby nodded. Suddenly Thomas came running from behind us.

"Alby, Minho's back!", he shouted from a while back. Alby and Newt exchanged a look and hurried after Thomas. Something inside told me to follow them so I did. What was happening now?

I stopped right next to Thomas as I looked at the guy who probably was Minho. Minho was really really attractive, tall with brown hair and a very muscular body. He was that kind of attractive that if you see him once you want to kiss him all over his face.

"They got him..- I managed to escape just in time", Minho talked fast snapping me back to reality he sounded out of breath from running. Wait, what the hell was he talking about?

"Wait, who the fuck are 'they'?", I asked a bit angry. I'm done with these boys talking so weird and not telling us everything. And all of sudden I felt everyone's eyes on me but mine were glued to Minho's as he stared straight at me making me feel a bit embarrassed.

"We'll tell you everything later but for now, Chuck show the girls to their beds", said Alby as this cute little chubby boy who was around the age of 13 stepped forward smiling widely toward us.

We walked quietly behind Chuck like we did with Thomas earlier, we stopped as he showed us our 'beds'.

"Are you serious? Are we really gonna sleep on these waving things you call beds?" I said as I shook my head.

"I'm sorry, we didn't know girls with high expectations would come here", he answered as he chuckled and walked away.

What the hell is wrong with the people here?

The darkness laid thick around me, my head was pounding horribly. I could barely breath, the pain in my chest made me feel helpless and nonfunctional for all and everything.

I rolled over on the metallic surface, my hearing was blocked out by the sound of the moving object underneath my body. I believed I was in a room of some sort, a moving one, probably a elevator. I wondered where about I was just as I heard a groan next to me, there was another girl here.

"Hello?", I tried but my voice was barely loud enough for anyone to hear. I cursed under my breath as I tried once again to get up.

"Who's there?", said the girl defensively, her voice carried her words in a way mine couldn't, she must have been passed out before this too. That's when I realised I didn't know who I was. The sounds from the girl informed me she was moving but was also hurt, she might have gotten hurt before waking up here, I felt her pain, and confusion.

"I-I don't know my name, in fact I barely know anything about me or where I am..", I started feeling the tears forming in my eyes as I couldn't remember anything.

"All I know is.. that my names' Aurora", she answered with the same tone as I, which meant she didn't remember anything either.

I took in another breath, this time easier as the pain in my chest had relieved slightly as I had sat straight against the cold wall. I knew we must have been in this box for a while, I was smart enough to count there had been at least 20 minutes since I first woke up from the pain. Shockingly I had no memory of how I got in here, or anything really. It's all just, gone.

I sat there in silence for another few minutes, but just as I was about to pass out once again the elevator stopped and a deafening sound shot through the air, like an alarm, to inform someway that this box had reached it's destination to someone, or something, on the other side.

Both me and Aurora gasped, stunned by the sudden change of light as the heavy doors above us opened up, revealing a blue cloud-free sky. With the use of my right hand I sealed myself from the light and after a while I finally managed to see somewhat of the new environment above me. That was until a load of interested eyes and body's that they belonged to blocked the view, something caught my attention, they were all boys.

"There's two people down there! And they're girls", said one of them with a surprised tone.

"Get 'em up here, will ya shank?", answered another with an British accent. Murmurs went through the air nonstop as a rope was tossed down to the both of us. Aurora sent a look my way, as to see if she should go up or not. I nodded and got up myself, grabbing onto the wall of the box. I followed her movements as she climbed up the rope, suddenly another rope was tossed down, for me.

I walked over and grabbed it, steadily in both of my hands as I brushed my blonde hair out of my face. I copied off Auroras moves while climbing up and found it surprisingly easy, as I had done it before but I could not remember where. That bugged me.

Just as I got up and grabbed onto the ledge a pair of strong arms grabbed onto mine and lifted me out of the hole, with seemingly not much struggle. As I finally stood on my own feet, the long green grass brushing my fingertips, I had to look into the eyes of my helper.

"What's your name?", he asked not bothering the multiple guys around me and the other girl.

"I don't know..", I mumbled and felt Auroras hand grab onto mine, it was a comfort and for some reason it felt very safe. The male nodded, turning to Aurora.

"You?", he asked and looked over at another guy.

"Aurora", she answered, the male nodded once again and turned to the other guy, a blonde very attractive male and whispered something to him. I couldn't help but notice the looks both me and Aurora received from the group of the boys around us, like they hadn't eaten any food in several months and we were the meat.

"Thomas", the guy who seemed like the leader said, searching through the crowd for a certain guy, the one he was looking for stepped forward, his eyes glued onto Aurora.

"Yes, Alby?", the brown headed boy answered, almost out of breath.

"Would you get these ladies to the Med?", he asked, but it was more of a request that couldn't be turned down. Thomas nodded, walking over to us and hinting us toward a smaller building built out of tree and hay. We followed him, having no idea of what was going on.

"Where are we?", I suddenly spit out, barely ready for the question myself. Thomas didn't stop nor did he even flinch, instead he let out a somewhat of a chuckle. How did he find this place funny?

"This is the glade", he answered with ease, knowing exactly what to say. He then stopped outside the door of the house and opened it, waving us inside.

"Why are we here?", I asked again, feeling a strong sadness from this place. Aurora stood quietly next to me, her arms crossed over her chest and her eyes resting on Thomas' figure.

"For new beginnings", Thomas smiled and placed his eyes on mine for a while before he looked at Aurora with a certain look forming on his face.

"What the hell?", I muttered as Thomas had left. Aurora shrugged her shoulders and just like that the door opened once again, but this time it was the blonde guy.

"Gals, Alby needs ya back at the box, rather hurriedly", he said, his British accent stunning me for a moment. He seemed to be the other leader around here. He disappeared out the door as fast as he came in, leaving us in a dead silence. We hurried outside and went back the way we came, stopping by Alby.

"What's this?", Alby asked his voice demanding and powerful. He held up a small bag, containing some sort of bottles and a note. I walked closer and grabbed the note, reading it.

'This will be needed - WICKED IS GOOD'.

My body repelled slightly as I read the words, what does that mean? Aurora looked at the note then at me and the others around the formed circle.

"I swear, I have no clue what this means", I started and looked over at Aurora.

"I can't remember anything but my name", she said defensively and Alby nodded as a response.

"Newt, what'cha think?", Alby asked the blonde british guy. Something started up inside of me, like a feeling, Newt.

"If she knew something she'd better bloody tell us by now", he answered and Alby nodded. Suddenly Thomas came running from behind us.

"Alby, Minho's back!", he shouted from a while back. Alby and Newt exchanged a look and hurried after Thomas. Aurora followed them and I went off after them as well, what was happening now? This situation just couldn't become any more fucked up, right?

I caught up to the strangers that stood in a circle around another guy, who I believed was Minho.

"They got him, I managed to escape just in time", Minho talked fast, out of breath from running. Who the hell were 'they'?

That was when I actually looked around me for the first time, all I could see was a big wall reaching up to the sky, with a enormous opening on each corner, like east, west, south and the one we were at now, north. The place we were settled in, The Glade, was surrounded by huge walls.. in other words, we were trapped.
