Zelia woke up from the Glade without her memories from her past - only her name she knows.
What will happen to her? Is she's willing to give up everything? Will she face all of her challenges?
"Why did you do that? I thought you hate me since day 1...

Zelia is now waiting at the entrance of the Maze; she has been doing this for more than 3 weeks to see the Runners; maybe they find a clue about the former Keeper. Ben is about to get tired of her in a joke way because she is always the first one he sees when he returns to the Glade.
She has just finished teaching the Gladers, who are free today. Speaking of, she has learnt a lot, and she noticed that they are not difficult to teach. With just a little practice, the Gladers will be ready in a short period of time for what the other plans of the Creators are. Zelia noticed that it was obvious to them that they wanted to learn how to defend themselves.
A few minutes passed before the girl saw the Runners coming out of the Maze. As they approached, Zelia noticed that something was missing from them.
"Where's Ben?" Zelia asked as soon as the Runners were inside the Glade. They stared at each other before looking at the girl with a mixture of surprise as well.
"He's still not here? We didn't think twice about coming back here when we met on the same way. We didn't pay too much attention to the fact that no one was with him because we just thought that he came back first," Alec said, his hair reaching his shoulders. Zelia frowned even more.
"He hasn't come back yet." The Runners seemed to come to their senses because of what the girl said, and they looked inside the Maze at the same time.
"Oh, shucks. Should we go back?"
"No. It's too risky. We only have one hour before the door closes."
"Maybe he just rested for a while; it's not like he will be late on purpose."
"He'll be back," Zelia whispered softly, but the Runners heard that, so they looked at her. The rest of them nodded slowly, and the others gave him a smile. They also say encouraging words, and they gently tap her shoulder to make the girl feel better before going to their destination.
They know how close she is with Ben because every breakfast and dinner, they will see Ben from the Zelia group of friends when they are eating and talking about some random topics.
Zelia took a deep breath before turning her back on Maze and walking towards where Newt was. It's still quite a while before the door closes. She needed a distraction before going back to waiting for Ben.
"Hey, love." Newt called the girl when he noticed that she was approaching his place, where he was still busy planting in the garden. Zelia smiled and sat on a tree branch.
