My feet ached with every prolonged step, a familiar burning sensation of blisters scraping against the hard soles of my work-trainers which I had been wearing since I had run in the maze. Having tangled hair, blood and dirt over your body and an unpleasant smell isn't something I particularly enjoy, so being offered a bath with the help of some of the girls when we reached a campsite sounded like heaven.

It was two girls who had offered to help me when the berg landed, and they took me aside the campsite to their facility area, where they explained that since they were travelling from campsite to campsite in order to avoid W.I.C.K.E.D., they didn't have the best facilities available.

Nevertheless, the buckets of slightly warmed water felt like heaven as a blonde girl, who introduced herself as Sonya, helped me to wash my hair, my body feeling frozen with the shock still wearing off.

"What happened to you?" Sonya had spoken from behind me as she washed my hair, the other girl helping to warm up the water since it was barely even heated briefly glanced up to listen to our conversation.

"Sorry?" My words came out quiet, lacking confidence slightly. The maze seemed to have done that, it felt like everything I had known was a lie, and I felt my mental health crumbling with it.

"We usually only rescue kids from W.I.C.K.E.D., you've barely said a word since you got here, and both you and that boy you came with looks like hell."

"I guess we just got back." A small smile cracked on the girl in front of me's face, I think her name was Harriet, and she always remained side-by-side with Sonya from what I had seen of them.

"It was the maze. W.I.C.K.E.D. put us into a maze, I guess because we were all immune to the flare," I used the terminology that Vince had briefed me about in the berg on the way to the camp, "Gally. His name is Gally- the boy..he got a spear thrown at him, I don't know who did it."

Harriet nodded slowly, a grim smile on her face as Sonya poured some water on my hair once more, a shiver going down my spine from the sensation. "We were in a maze too."

"There was more than one maze?" My eyes practically widened to saucers when Harriet spoke, surprised that this was something other people had experienced.

"Yeah, I was the first-in-command, Sonya here was the second-in-command." She smiled softly now, a nostalgic sort of lovesick look in her eyes, as though she missed it. "Nearly all of us got out and work for the Right Arm now. We lost a few people though."
