Ashley POV

Me and Lexi walked into the room. The room consisted of a small wooden chair which Alby was sitting on, a small table with a lamp on it and a Newt leaning up against the back wall. The rest of the room was empty
"Seriously what's going on?" I asked, Alby looked at Newt, and he walked pasted us and stood in the doorway. We were trapped. Well somewhat trapped.
"You two are going to tell me everything you know." Alby said sternly. I looked over at Lexi, she was as worried and as clueless on what to do just like me. Then it clicked.
"Brielle has better memories than us, if we told you anything it might not be true" I said hoping to gain some time.
"Newt fetch Brielle, you know where to meet me" Alby orders, Newt nodded and closed the door behind us. I hear a little click and I knew instantly that we where stuck here. I needed to think of some else to by us more time.
"So Ashley what do you remember?" Alby said leaning forward putting his arms on his legs. This is going to be hard.
"I told you just before, my memories ain't that good" he just gave me a look, the one a person give you when they don't really care. Think Ashley think. Another brain wave came to me.
"Tree's, thin white trees with long green leaves." I said describing the outback before we came to the glade.
"Anything else" Alby said trying to get more information
"Us walking through the trees seeing a sign." I continued
"What was on the sign, do You remember?" Alby asked intrigued. I shook my head, I wasn't going to tell him anything more. "Do you remember anything else Lexi?" I hope Lexi knows what I am trying to do.
"That's all I can remember too" Lexi said shrugging her shoulders. Yes! Point to Ashley and the fangirls.
"There is something you're not telling me, you will tell sooner or later, if you like it or not" he said leaning up against his chair. He looked at us, most likely thinking what he should do. After a few minutes of silence he got up off the chair "come with me, I need to show you something" he unlocked the door and we all walked.
We walked out of homestead heading towards one of the walls with thick green ivy on it. I new exactly where Alby was taking us.

Brielle's POV

I woke up sweating. The dream was so real. I could remember it word for word, image to image. I replayed the dream in my mind.
I fluttered my eyes open, sand scattered on my body, the land a desert waste land. "Brielle" I got up to see a young woman, wearing a white dress floating in the wind just like her black hair. "I have so much to tell you but for now I will keep it short. Make sure Toby stays away from Ashley and Lexi. He is going to hurt them and do unspeakable things to them. He is a bad person don't trust him"
"Who are you? And who's Toby?" I asked the woman, she looked and sounded so familiar yet I have never seen her in my life.
"I can't tell you, not yet. Brielle you and your friends are something amazing you just don't see it yet, your are one of us" at that moment she turned to dust and a huge gust of wind came and picked me up with it. The wind stopped and I was free falling. I wanted to scream but mouth didn't move.
"I have to go"
"I will be back"
"Keep Toby away"
"You have to trust me"
Then I woke up. I don't even know this person yet I trust her with my life and I don't know why. This is too confusing. I sat up placing my knees up and resting my arms on them and placed my head up against the stone wall.
"Why?" I said out loud, why was I in the glade, why did I have this dream, why do I trust her so much. This was all I could think. Why is this place so real, how is this place even real. My head exploded into a rally of questions that were probably never going to be answered. I pulled my legs closer to my chest with my arms. Tears started to form, I probably will never go back home. Never to see my family again, my home, my school mates, what if this place is real? Tears started to trickle down my face. I was scared. I heard the distinct footsteps walking up closer to the slammer. I quickly whipped the liquid off my face. The footsteps came closer and closer, till the foot steps revealed a boy with blonde hair and brown eyes.
"It's your lucky day Greenbean, you get to leave early. Bloody lucky you are" he said smiling, leaning on the slammer bars.
"Well are you going to get me out, or are you going to stare at me" I joked trying to hide my sadness.
"Either one is fine" he said looking at me. I could feel my cheeks redden.
"I would prefer to get out of here" I said tilting my head downwards to not show my blushing. After a while I looked up to see him unlocking the cell door. He outstretched his arm down into the slammer cell.
"Ya coming Greenbean" I grabbed his hand and he pulled me out of the slammer.
"It's nice to be out" I said looking at the glade.
"I bet" he said starting to walk off "follow me Greanbean, need to show ya something" as I started to walk with Newt till I saw the maze door. I stopped dead in my tracks. I could fell my heart speeding up and my body started to shake slightly. "Greenie are you.... Don't you bloody think of doing it" he said walking towards me. I took a few steps into the run when I felt a hand grip my arm tightly pulling me back. "Don't you dare" Newt said sternly.
"Please I need to" I said desperately trying to get out of his grasp.
"You can't" he said grabbing my other arm, starting to drag me off "no one has lasted a night in the maze" I stopped struggling and let him lead me to where ever he was taking me.

Lexi's POV

As we walked up to the ivy covered wall, I looked back to see Newt hold Brielle's upper arm.
"Hey Brielle" I said waving, I stopped and waited for them to catch up, so did Alby and Ashley.
"Did she try and run again" Alby said
"No" he said walking up to us letting her go. Alby walked up to Newt and started to talk.
"Do you know where we are going?" Brielle whispered
"I think we're heading towards the griever window." Ashley whispered back.
"What did you girls just say" dam Alby has good hearing. Both boys looked at us confused and shocked
"We're heading towards to glade wall" I said, putting all my innocence into my voice.
"No you didn't you said griever window." Newt said
"What's a griever?" Brielle said confused, she is a pretty good at acting.
"You said griever window" Alby said not really falling for the act.
"We said glade wall" Ashely protested "how did you get griever window out of glade wall, you guys need to get you ears checked" Alby looked at us knowing that we were going to say nothing. He sighed and walked in front of us
"Follow me" he said.
When we reached the wall Newt and Alby pulled back the some of the thick ivy revealing a dusty window.
"What's in there" Brielle asked still putting on the confused act.
"Get ready to Klunk you pants ladies" Alby said smirking.
Brielle walked straight up to the window waiting for the griever
"What are you doing?" I asked her
"Waiting..." she paused as scary lights creeped through the window. Brielle jumped back letting out a small scream as we hear a loud thud on the window. Brielle stepped back up to the window. looking straight through the it she motioned us to come join her. To be honest I didn't want to go but curiosity got the best of me and I walked over next to Brielle soon followed by Ashley. To my disgust I saw a creature the size of a cow, that had sliver spicks poking out of its body. I was terrified of the mixture of beast and machine. It jumps from wall to wall. I couldn't stand to look at it anymore so I turn my head and walk a few steps away. Brielle Ashely both did the same.
"Beyond our wall is the maze, and that where thous things live. You can never leave these walls" Alby said sternly. "We have shown you this because we want you to know why thous walls close every night, and that we don't want you to ever go out there. You are going to be safe here, in the glade" Ably started to walked off "Newt look after them I have other business to attend to"
