Unknown's POV:

Entry #1213

From what I have felt and seen should never be real. Unfortunately, what WICKED is doing to the Gladers is the only way to get a cure. That involves children getting killed, manipulated, and events that would break anyone. I have lived here the majority of my whole life and not once have I second guessed their actions.

Until now.

I have always made an excuse when one of the subjects get mutilated by the Grievers but WICKED isn't even close to a cure. They're just killing the immune generation with no actual sense. I changed after compromising with Chancellor Ava Paige from Subject A15 to Subject A3 because I needed to know if my best friend was alright. I made a promise to Eddie to watch over her. At the time of Subject A3's arrival I didn't know that she was going to be a huge variable.

I was watching the Gathering for Subject A3's job when somehow she got voted to become a Runner. I wouldn't want a girl that I loved go into the Maze on a regular basis. I was told after that they altered the Keeper's mind to think her going into the Maze was a good thing since from Subject A3's brain patterns she wasn't too keen on exploring. The only two who were hard to convince were Minho and Gally. Subject A3 and A7 will watch over each other when in the Maze. I don't know exactly what the Subjects are going to go through before I go in but I know it's going to get a hell of a lot worse for them.

This is Subject A1, still here working for WICKED, unfortunately.

Another day of testing, anylizing, and watching my friends go through hell. But like Subject A3 says, "If your in hell, just keep on going."

Helen's POV

I've been standing at the entrance of the Maze for 5 minutes for Minho to get here. I was bored so I decided to greet him. I was excused by Minho today because I wasn't feeling that well this morning but by lunch time the unsettling feeling left. I didn't eat breakfast because of the butterfly effect. It started again after I started to think of waiting for the Runners. It made me uncomfortably warm and giddy. It was a love vs hate relationship of the annoying feeling.

I turn around after hearing footsteps stop behind me. It's the red head, Wyatt, I met earlier this week. He's one of the Baggers so he is always free to talk to. He's the same as the feeling, annoying because he flirts with me so I give him my trademark 'thanks for trying but I'm not interested' look, and he passes the time. I am excited to go back out running. I know, your thinking I had a change of mind which I did. Running is a great way to spend time thinking about everything. I won't be able to think much when I go running without Minho, my direction officer voice and almost King of Sass. I like to think I'm right next to him but everyone doesn't here my awesome remarks. Just me.

I take a breath to see if the feeling dims which it does and then I lie so hopefully he can leave me before Minho gets here. I want to...well I don't know why I want to see him. I just do. I got to hang out with Newt. He is better company by far from Wyatt but I don't want to be entirely mean to him. I give Wyatt a friendly smile, 'I feel fine. I'm just waiting for- holy shuck!'

I jump from the voice of none other than, Minho. "Looking for me, Honey?"

I see Minho drenched in sweat that made his skin glisten in the evening sunlight. Whoa, why does that make him even more attractive? That's not right. I've seen him like that before but I guess I've been distracted by how tired I've been lately. It's that stupid feeling that is ruining everything. Its making me think to much, like right now!
