They escaped the maze. They were safe. Or were they, really? The world was scorched, sand everywhere, buildings broken down, creatures hunting their prey... all while the sun scorched down on them. When they find out they really weren't safe, Y/n an...

It was dark, the sounds of a helicopter whirring being heard all around in the nighttime air. Sand could be seen everywhere in the Scorch, the many voices shouting at one another being drowned out from the whirring helicopters. Lights could be seen all around the lonely and working building in the once city that was now all covered in sand, the said substance flying over from the propellers of the helicopter as the wind blew all around. Soldiers could be seen, guns in their hands as they shot at the creatures behind them.
"Y/n, wake up!" A voice shouts.
"We gotta go!" Another voice adds.
Inside the helicopter, Y/n's eyes shot open as she looked up at the two faces staring right down at her. Newt and Teresa were knelt down on either side of the girl as they shook her awake, their voices yelling out for her to wake up as she slowly sat up from her laying position. Just beside the three of them, a panicked Minho was shaking a now awake Thomas as he, like the other two, was shaking him awake and trying to get him up. Y/n let Newt and Teresa pull her up as her feet touched the sand, wide eyes looking around at the scenery as Teresa and Newt were already heading forward.
One of the men in the mask were yelling to the girl as they tried to usher her where the others were running, but quickly realizing she didn't have a certain object in her hand, she found herself rushing back to the helicopter, moving a bag away as she saw Chuck's carved figure that held a bit of blood. Just as she grabbed it, the man grabbed ahold of her as he pushed her slightly towards the building. Having noticed she was behind, Thomas didn't hesitate to turn back as he placed his hand on her lower back, making her look at him just when the men around them were shouting loudly, followed by gunshots.
This had the couple looking over to see figures running along down the hill as the men were shooting at them. Before they could even question or get a good glimpse of them, they were being pushed towards the building. As they got closer to the building, the sounds of screeches echoing throughout the air had Y/n perking up, wondering what exactly was behind her. While they ran, the teenagers looked around at the large structure, scrunching their eyes a bit at the brightness of the lights before they were stepping inside the building as the doors closed right behind them.
Thomas moved to the front of the group that had made it out of the maze, Y/n following behind him when they had turned around. Y/n stopped beside her sister, wide eyes glancing around at the machinery and the people around them. The girl reached out, her fingers brushing against Thomas' before he grabbed her smaller hand in his. Some men walked up to them, guns in their hands as they led the group of teenagers further into the building, opening a door to a room as they all walked inside before it closed behind them.

About an hour had gone by since the group had been led to the room they were now currently in, and once they had caught sight of the food that had been on the table when they walked in, all of them had found themselves rushing towards the food while they started eagerly eating the food that they hadn't remembered eating in their entire lives. They had no idea where they were, who these people were and if they were safe from WICKED and the people who had put them in the maze in the very first place, erasing their memories of their own names and the people who were in their lives before the maze.
