[Unknown].

A sound that reminds me of metal against metal feels my ears. It felt like I was moving upwards. I could feel cold bars pressed against my back.

Suddenly the floor shocked, waking me up from my dream life state. Jolting upon a sitting position, I felt something coming back to my throat. Before I could process what it was, an unknown liquid reaches my mouth. I was on my hands and knees as I coughed, the strange liquid leaving my mouth. It burns in my throat and I felt like even if I wanted to speak I couldn't.
I could feel my wet clothes clinging to my body. Was it sweat? Was it water? I didn't have a damn clue. I didn't know anything. H-how can't I remember anything?

The box jolted again, this time harder, causing me to stop looking at the abyss below me, that only seems to increase as the time passed.
Where the hell am I?

I couldn't think properly. My thoughts were everywhere and on everything that was happening at the same time.
With my shaking legs, I quickly stood up, almost falling face-first on the ground due to the box irregular movement. I grip tightly on the bars to secure myself.
I have to get out of here!

"PLEASE... SOMEONE HELP... GET ME OUT OF HERE!" my throat burn, while I keep screaming as loud as I could, banging furiously on the metal wall.

It felt like hours that I have been in this elevator thing, but I never stop screaming or banging on those fucking walls.
A metallic taste filled my mouth. My throat was starting to bleed.

Finally, I understood that no matter how loud I scream no one was going to help me.
My body went limp while I sled down the wall. Tears started to run down my cheeks, they keep coming nonstop. At first, it was a silent cry but soon turned into loud sobs. I didn't care, there was no one here and I was probably gonna die.

The air couldn't reach my lungs. With every passing second, I would feel myself getting more and more into a panic state.
What is happening to me?
Is this hell?
Why the fuck can't I remember anything?
I started to feel a heavy pain in my chest and my hand went on top of it, trying somehow get some air in it. My vision started to get blurry. All that mechanical sounds - that never stop from the moment I woke up - started to vanish, instead, a ringing sound was the only thing I could hear.

Before I could pass out, something happens. The box stopped moving and the once red light that illuminates the elevator turn green, accompanied by a distant alarm.
Suddenly everything went black.
I tried to control my irregular breathing. Trying to hear something, anything that could give me a clue about what had happened.
That's it? Did I pass out?
Before my thoughts could keep going, a bright light appears from above. It blinded me for a second, but since I was by the far wall, the light couldn't reach my face.
I look up and I saw human figures through the holes in the bars.
They all look like...boys?
They started chattering with each other, but I couldn't focus myself to try and understand what they were saying.

The large doors on the ceiling were pulled opened by two of the many boys that were rounding this cage.
That's how I felt, like an animal, trapped in a cage, vulnerable and afraid.

A low noise boomed as a tall boy jump in. My eyes were glued to his figure, studying his every move. I couldn't see his face since his back was turned to the light.
I could feel my heart was pounding in my chest. What are they going to do to me? Who are they?
I just wanted to sit in a corner and cry, but I knew I couldn't do that. I had to be alert, ready for anything that these guys throw at me.

The boy started to slowly walk forward, inching his head slightly to the side like he was trying to get a better look at me.
By now he was standing by my feet. My hands were shaking in fear and anticipation.
He made a sudden movement to grab me. My instants immediately kick in and with all my strength I push against his chest making him fall hard to the ground. Not having time to think of a plan I jump on some crates, using my arms strength to quickly push myself out of that box.
The moment my feet heat the ground, my head snaps up to look at my surroundings. The only thing I could see where boys, there were boys everywhere.
I could see their lips moving but I could hear them, it was like everything was in slow motion.
Without wasting another second I pushed through the circle of boys, taking off running. To where I didn't know, as long as it was far away from them.

In a heartbeat, I was fully sprinting. My feet pounding on the ground, my lungs burning. My legs were still weak but I keep going, I couldn't stop.
I could clearly hear them shouting.

"What a shuck?"

"It was a girl."

"Did you see her man?"
Some other things were said but I couldn't understand them.
I was getting farther away from them with each passing second.

A gap between the huge walls catches my attention.
I started to run in that exact direction. The boys must have noticed where I was heading. They started shouting at me and with one look behind my shoulders, I saw that they had started to chase me.
"Hey stop!"

"Come on, get her!"

"She can't pass the walls!"
Some of them were fast, I had to admit, but I wasn't bad either and with the advantage that I had gained, there was no way that they could catch me. But I still didn't slow down. I keep running full speed.

The shouts become more frantic. I could feel the despair in their voices.
I didn't care though. Finally, I reach the gap.
And I didn't stop, I keep running not even caring in taking time to look at my surroundings.

A wall was blocking my path so I turn right. With all the speed that I was running, I almost crashed into the wall, but instead, my forearm scratched against it, avoiding hitting my face on it. I could feel the blood starting to run down my left arm.

✳︎✳︎✳︎

I had been running for what looks like ten minutes, more or less. In all that time I didn't hear any sound that indicates that those boys were still following me.

Slowing down to a jog, I started to walk, looking behind me from time to time.
This place had giant stone walls that seem to be here for years. They were covered in ivy, plants coming through the cracks in between the walls. There wasn't a straight path that you could follow, there were turns everywhere. Sometimes even dead ends. What the hell is this place? It seems some type of ... maze?

I continue to walk aimlessly through the corridors for God knows how long. Every path seems exactly like the other one.
Although it was extremely frustrating to not know where I was going...I keep moving.

I started to hear something. Immediately I came to a stop, trying to hear where the sound was coming from. It sounded like footsteps. Fuck did they found me?
Turning around I started to run the opposite way from where it seemed that the sound was coming from. Cautiously looking around to not be caught. This is a freaking maze! They could come from anywhere!

I turn another corner, only to immediately stopped in my tracks.
At the end of the long corridor was a boy slowly jogging, his back turned to me. Like he could feel my presence, he stopped, turning around. It caught me by surprise, but once I get through the initial trauma, I quickly turned around, taking off sprinting through the corridors.
I could hear his footsteps on the stone floor right behind me, which only make me run faster.
The sound of his footsteps seems to become closer and closer.
That's it, I'm dead.
Taking a turn to the left I came straight to a dead end.
Turning around to go the other way, only to found the guy already there, blocking my only way of escaping.

Slowly I started to walk backward. With each step I took, he took one forward. He never took his eyes off me.
By the look on his face, I could see that he was confused, curious even. But what didn't make any sense to me was that he seems to be cautious of me. Like I was a wild animal getting ready to attack him. Well, if that was he was thinking...he was not wrong?
I wouldn't go down without a fight.

My bravery seemed to be cut short the moment I felt my back hit the wall.
What now? Is he going to kill me?

Although I came to stop he didn't seem to want to stop anytime. He kept coming closer to me until he was three feet away from me.
Should I make a run for it? This maybe is the only chance I got before he attack's me.
Without thinking further, I make a dash around him. Only to be stopped by strong arms being wrapped around my waist. He lifted me from the floor, while I keep fighting against his tight hold.

"Stop! Let go of me!" I keep shouting and squirming in his grasp.
He seems to become frustrated and tired of all my attempts of escaping.

"Shuck me..." he murmured to himself.
What the fuck is he saying?
Unexpectedly, he let go of me only to immediately push me hard against the stone wall.

"Listen here shuckface, you are gonna stop fighting and come with me. Do you get that?"
He had my arms pinned above my head. His body was almost pressed against mine so I couldn't escape. I stared at him dead in the eyes from a moment.
This guy is so wrong if he thinks that he could talk to me like that.

With his attention still seat on me I spit right on his face.
He closed his eyes for a moment like he was trying to not let his anger out. With one of the hands that were securing my wrist, he cleaned his face.
We were both glaring heatly at each other.
He suddenly grabs my legs and threw me over his shoulder like I was a fucking potato sack.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?! Put me down!" I started to kick my legs and throwing punches at his back, but he didn't seem a bit fazed by it. He only tightened the hold on my legs.
He passed from walking to a slight jog.
Oh no... he is taking me back to that place.

"P-please...just let me go" he didn't seem faced by my pleas. He continues to jog for maybe an hour, without never putting me back down.

"Finally..." I hear him murmur to himself.
I started to hear other voices coming not far from us. We seem to be approaching them. No... they can't kill me. What do I do?
I started to squirm in the guy's shoulder trying to break free, only to fail miserably.
My breath had become irregular, unshed tears were starting to form in my eyes.
Please just get it over with...

"Hey, you found her" it was a voice with a British accent that stood out from all the chattering from the other boys. He seems almost...relieved?

"What the shuck was she doing in the maze? Did she came from the box?"

"Yeah, she attacked Gally and then started to sprint to the maze doors. Bloody fast she is I tell you"

"I could see that. Wait...did you said that she attacked Gally?"

"Yeah he is with a med-jacks checking his head"

"Guess she isn't so bad after all huh?" I could hear the amusement on his voice.
They know I'm right here, right?
Before the British guy could answer, a strong voice spoke.

"Minho take her to the pit."

"Okay."
He started to walk again, this time away from the crowd. My fists were grabbing tightly on his shirt, I lift my head to look at the crowd that slowly started to disperse. My teary eyes immediately found dark ones. They belonged to a boy with blond hair, quite tall, that had is hands on his hips. The moment we made eye contact, he saw how afraid I actually was, his face seems to soften immediately. He turns to speak with a boy with dark skin that was still by his side. But I couldn't hear anything, I was getting farther and farther away from them.

The guy that was carrying me, Minho was it? he came to a stop in front of some little structures that had bars on them. I felt him crouched though a little, probably to open one of those doors. He started to put me down carefully, never letting go of me. While he pushed me to go inside that thing, I weakly resisted while silent tears started to stream down my face. Once I was finally in, my cries had become louder and more desperate.

"Please, please don't leave me here."
I put my arm through the hole trying to reach for him. He didn't make any move to free me. He had a painful look on his face while looking at me. I was already feeling light-headed for being in this small space.

"PLEASE!" I shouted while grabbing tightly on the bars and shaking them, trying to somehow break those things.
Walking backward until my back hit the wall, I slide down the wall. My shirt slid up my back, the rough stone screeching my bare back, probably making blood. But I didn't care, not anymore.
I curled up in a ball crying, wishing for someone to explain to me what was happening.

Since I wake up in that stupid cage, I felt completely disoriented and afraid. I couldn't remember anything. Why can't I remember anything? Is something wrong with me?

I fell myself getting tired, so I lay down on the ground, my back pressed against the cold wall. Slowly my eyes started to close and I immediately fall asleep.

[Minho].

I stood there a little longer while the girl cried. Seeing her like this made me feel something and I couldn't figure out what it was. Shuck why am I affected by her?

Reluctantly I left to go and find Alby.
We have to discuss what we were going to do with her.

Alby had called a gathering with not just the keepers but with all the gladers. We were inside the Council Hall. Alby and Newt were at the front while the rest of us were sitting in a half-circle.

"Okay let's calm down...I call this gathering to discuss what are we going to do to the girl"
After some moment of silence, Fry spoke,
"Well, why don't we just let her be, you know?" like it was plain simple.

"What do you mean?" Newt asked his eyebrows frowning in confusion.

"I don't know man...I just think that we should treat her like one of the gladers. She came in the box just like us, with no memory-" he didn't get to finished 'cause of Gally.

"We don't know that. For all, we know she could remember everything"

"He's right, we gotta take as much information from her as we can," Alby said, nodding slightly with his arms crossed over his chest.

"For now she stays in the pit. Tomorrow I would go and talk to her"

[Greenie].

When I woke up the sun was starting to set. I stood from the ground and step closer to the bars.
I took my time observing this place. There were boys everywhere, they seem to be working.

Suddenly a person blocks my view, scaring me, making me fall on my butt. I look up only to see the guy that caught me in that maze. He crouched down with his arms resting on his legs.
"Hey greenie"
Greenie? What the hell?

"I brought you something to eat"
He put his hand through the hole on the bars. I carefully stood up and slowly started to walk closer to the door. I reach my hand and took the food.

"Thank you" I whispered, looking up at him.

"No problem shank" he stood up and started to walk away.

"Hey, wait...how long do I have to stay in here?"

"Till tomorrow morning"

"What? Why can't I just get out now?" I said with anger clear in my voice. These people were starting to get on my nerves.

"Probably because you will start running like a crazy woman. I've seen it before" although it had become dark I could see the smirk on his face. With a frustrating sight, I turn my back on him and set against the wall. These people are nuts.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Hi everyone! I just wanted to say that Minho and the Greenie dated before the maze and also she is claustrophobic ( if it wasn't clear ).
