Chapter 4: A Night in the Maze

~Y/n P.O.V.~

I stared above me, moving upwards.

I was laying in the Box.

It was moving at a quick pace, just like when Thomas and I first came.

~

I sat in front of a computer, staring through the screen at two people.

One seat, sat Thomas.

On the other, sat a girl. Dark and blue eyes. Both were staring at me.

"Y/n." The girls voice echoed through.

~

An older woman with blonde hair, neatly done up into a bun, wearing all white clothing walked in-between the computers. I still sat in the same spot I was in.

"Wicked is good. Don't make it easy on them."

~

I was staring above me again, the blue eyed girl in my view, staring down at me with a frown.

"Y/n. Everything is going to change." She echoed, but her lips weren't moving.

~

Many people came into my view. Familiar looking faces in tanks of water, banging on the glass as doctors stood in front of them.

"Wicked is good." My voice echoed around.

"Wicked is good." A familiar male voice said next.

Thomas?

~

I sat on a metal table, many doctors staring down at me, talking to each other. To my side, laid Thomas, also on a metal table, a big giant piece of cloth on his body, one on mine too.

I saw his arm reach out to me, laying in the space between us, looking at me. Without looking at him, I brought my arm out, placing my hand in his.

"Wicked is good." The woman's voice echoed. "Y/n, you have to choose."

~

I stood in a room... Thomas standing in front of me.

"I love you, baby."

"I love you too, Tommy."

~

I sat straight up, gasping for air, seeing I was back in the Glade and in my hammock. I glanced around before my gaze landed on the open doors.

There stood Newt, Minho, and... Alby? They talked before Alby and Minho ran into the maze. I furrowed my brows, about to lay back down, but I met Thomas' eyes.

We both shared a confused look upon seeing Alby go into the maze.

~

"But why would Alby go into the maze?" Thomas asked Newt as me, him, Newt, Zart, and Chuck were all together. "I mean, he's not a runner." Newt and Zart were working, Thomas, Chuck, and I sitting down. I sat in-between Chuck and Thomas.

"Things are different now. Alby went to retrace Ben's footsteps before sundown. Are you two gonna help?" Newt answered before asking Thomas and I.

"So he's gonna go back to where Ben was just stung-"

"Alby knows what he's doing..." Newt cut me off. "...alright? He knows better than any of us."

Thomas and I shared a confused look. "What does that mean?"

Newt sighed, stopping his work again and facing us. "Alright, it's like you've heard, yeah? Every month, the Box sends up a new arrival. But someone had to be first, right? Someone had to have spent a whole month in the Glade, alone. And that was Alby. I mean, it can't have been easy. But when those other boys started coming up, one after the other... he saw the truth. And he learned that the most important thing... is that we all have each other. Because we're all in this together."
