A thin layer of sweat began to form across my forehead. I lifted my arm, wiping it across my face, trying to get rid of the sticky feeling.

I wasn't the same. I could feel the infection coursing through me as I walked through the maze. I wanted it gone, but what I truly wanted was to be with her.

Against my better judgment, I found myself stumbling sickly through the maze. I didn't know how long I had been walking for, but my mind had been set on one goal: finding her.

On my journey through the maze, I had realized how stupid I had been. From the time Y/N showed up in the maze to now I had been foolish. I had wasted so much time that I could have spent with her.

My mind was filled with regret and an achy lovesick feeling. I didn't know if it was all a side affect, or if I had finally be graced with clarity. All I knew was that I had let my pride get in the way of everything.

I wouldn't blame her if she no longer wanted to be with me. I had crushed her when I let her go, I could see it in her eyes. The way she struggled to pull away, it was as if she was yearning for me to follow, but I didn't.

Instead, I stayed back and watched her slip between my fingertips like a coward. A sharp sudden pain erupted through my temple, causing me to hold onto the wall next to me.

I grabbed onto my head with my free hand, trying to snap out of it. This was my karma for letting her go. How could you be unconditionally in love with someone and just let them go?

As I regained my balance, I ran my hands over my face. I couldn't live without her, and the separation between us was causing me to go insane.

I inhaled deeply in an attempt to take back my sanity. I pushed forward only to stumble to the ground. A low ticking sound snapped me back to reality. A Griever was near.

I could feel it, sense it's presence, as if it were apart of me. I forced myself off the ground, moving towards the sound.

I had found myself cutting corners and moving around walls throughout the maze. The sound grew closer as I went around the last wall causing me to stop. They had been here, she had been here.

Before me a line of walls had collapsed, leaving a handful of grievers to be crushed beneath them. I looked past the bloodbath to find what appeared to be an entrance or door of some kind.

Whatever it was, something was telling me I needed to get to that door. Though before I could properly get over the first fallen wall, the sharp pain I had felt earlier had returned causing me to collapse onto the ground.

Similar to before, the pain felt explosive. Although, this time I couldn't seem to get it to stop. It held me to the ground leading me to cry out in agony.

I broke out into a cold sweat, unable to stop my body from shaking. I shut my eyes tightly, hoping the pain would stop. Instead, I was met by pictures flashing through my head.

They felt familiar, like memories I didn't remember experiencing. They say when you die, you see your life flash before you like a film. A movie on the screen, but this was different.

They weren't anything I had experienced as a Keeper. In fact, they had nothing to do with the Glade at all. It was as if I was being given memories that were selected for a purpose.

They hardly made sense, and seemed to be out of order. All I knew was that they were important. Important for the situation I was in now. Though, there was one thing that was off about the images developing in my head. The visions all revolved around her.

I inhaled sharply trying to find air as my eyes shot open. I was breathing heavily as if I just ran a mile. I quickly sat up and wiped the sweat off my forehead with my forearm.

It all felt like a bad dream, but I was still there in the maze. The only difference was that I had been overwhelmed with a feeling of knowing. An enlightenment of some kind. I knew what needed to be done. I knew what I had to do.

I placed the palms of my hands on the ground pushing myself to my feet. An uneasy feeling rippled through me causing me to lose my footing, only to catch myself on the fallen wall in front of me.

Once I was sure I would be able to continue, I found myself moving towards the door. As soon as I had reached it, my mind and it's seemingly new memories had taken over.

I didn't understand how or why, but I knew exactly how to open the door. In a matter of seconds, the panel's green light reflected off of me with the word 'complete' written in capital letters.

Before I knew it, I was in a hallway. Though, this time I had no recollection of where to go. It wasn't until I heard movement and whispers that I began to move forward.

As I reached the end of the hallway, I was met by more images and a piercing pain through the back of my head.

I didn't feel the same anymore. The new group of memories were different. A trance had fallen over me, and I now felt an anger I could no longer subside.

I stumbled forward soon tripping over something heavy. The black metal object before me seemed to be the answer to everything. It was time to end all of the pain and suffering caused by WCKD. It was the right thing to do.

Pieces of glass crushed beneath my feet as I stepped forward, only stopping at the sound of a familiar voice. "Gally?".
