The Maze Runner

Prologue

The Maze Runner

Prologue:::Third Person

'I wish that I could wake up with amnesia, and forget about the stupid little things.'

She began her new life standing up surrounding by darkness and dusty air.

Metal ground against metal; a lurching shudder shook the floor beneath her and she suddenly fell down as sweat dripped down her forehead.

She sat with the support of her arms as cool air hit her face. She slid along the metal wall until she hit the corner of the room. Sinking to the floor, she pulled her legs up tight against her body, hoping her eyes would soon adjust to the darkness.

With another jolt, the room jerked upward like an old lift in a mine shaft.

Harsh sounds of chains and pulleys, like the workings of an ancient steel factory, echoed throughout the small box.

Her stomach was sour with nausea; a smell like burnt oil invaded her senses, making her feel even worse. She wanted to cry, but no tears came; she could only sit there, alone, waiting.

With a sudden boom the doors opened and a boy jumped in.

"Well, well, well. We have a newbie. You're going to absolutely love it here." He sneered, grabbing her by the arm as he hoisted her to her feet.

A rope was thrown down for them to climb and once they both grabbed it they were pulled out of the smelly and dark lift.

"Oh my god it's a girl."

"Can you see her clothes?"

"She looks like she's been through hell."

"She's hot."

"Looks like Reyna got some new competition."

Melody was approached by a wave of confusion and surprise when suddenly the voices died down and the crowd cleared a pathway and a man with a slightly dark complexion and a buzz cut walked towards her.

"What's your name?" He asked, his voice thick with an accent.

"M- Melody. Melody Thorn." She said in a shaky voice, suddenly feeling extremely cold all of a sudden.

And the next words that came out of his mouth were words she wished he had never been spoken. Words that could send numerous shivers down one's spine. Words that she wished she had never heard.

"Well Melody." He said, "Welcome to the Maze."
