Magcon Vs. Maze (Complete)

Chapter 1

You wake up in a large black box. You can't see very much but you realize you are going up. The piercing sound of metal screeching makes you cover your ears. Finally the screeching comes to a stop and an eerie silence sets in. The only sound you hear is the ringing in your ears. You strain your eyes to see your surroundings. You are in a metal box, you can see a metal passage way below you but it only goes 3 feet before it turns into a black abyss. You sit there wondering where you are. What is your name? Where did you come from? You can't remember anything about yourself. Let alone where you are. You sit in the darkness for what seems like forever. Until a horribly loud alarm sounds. You cover your ears again screaming at it to stop. The black box starts up again, the metal screeching and the alarm sounding was not a good mix.

You go up for another 5 minutes or so until you stop again. "When will it stop!" You say to your self, even though the screeching stopped once again the alarm still sounded. This time you were at the top of the passage way. You definitely knew that because a red light flashed on and off. The alarm suddenly stopped and you sat in the dark once again. You hear clangs and booms as if something was shifting. Finally, a door at the top of the box opens blinding you with daylight. As your eyes adjusted to the new scenery you found yourself looking up at 11 boys. "Everyone back up!" Said an older looking one maybe in his early 20's, you thought that he must be the leader. Everyone obliged to his orders and backed up carefully still looking at you. "Why is there a girl in the box?" One of the younger boys asked maybe 15 years old. "I'm asking the same question." The leader said looking down at you. "Do you know your name? Or anything about you?" He asked. "No." You answered quietly. Still frightened by what was going on. He then hopped down into the box and reached out his hand. "I am Cameron." He said politely. "Hello." You say grabbing his hand. He helped you up and lifted you out of the box. "Aaron!" He called whilst lifting himself from the box. "Show her around." He said as the boy by the name of Aaron came forward. "Okay Cam." He said and walks towards you. "Hi, I'm Aaron." He says and holds out his hand waiting for you to shake it. You shake his hand, "Hi." You say you can't really introduce yourself due to the lack of memories. "Can't remember your name huh?" He asks. "Don't worry we all go through the same thing." He says smiling. His smile was so warming and for the first time since you got here you felt safe. "You're lucky you're a girl. I klunked my pants three times before they got me out of the box." He says and chuckles a little. "Anyways, this is the common area where we relax, eat and talk. Once all of the work for the day is over we all come here." He says as he gestures to 7 picnic tables and a fire pit. "Over here is the blood-house. This is where Shawn cooks all the meals to serve us every night." He gestures to a boy sitting outside of a sturdy looking shack, the boy is tall and at least 16. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He smiled and waved at you. You waved back and Aaron lead you to the next area. "This is the sleeping area, You have your own hammock but it is still in the same area as us, sorry. But don't worry we are all pretty nice people." He says. He leads you through a few more shacks. "Well, that's about it. You can go back to the common area, I have to go back to work. I will see you at dinner!" He says running towards the gardening area. "Hmm," You say looking around to see what you could do. "Sleep in the same area as us, sorry." Aaron's voice rung in your head. You felt like you weren't just thinking about that again for no reason. Y/n, you think. "My name is Y/n" you say out loud. A boy turns around. "What?" He says.

"My name is Y/n." You say once more. "How did you remember that fast? It took me three days before I remembered my name." He says. "I don't know it just came." You say. "I'm Hayes." He says. "Can I tell you something?" He says leaning in closer. "Sure." You say. "I know more than they think I do." He says. "Then who thinks you do?" You say confused. "WICKED, they took away all of our memories for experimentation, but those shucks didn't realize that the antidote they send in every week with the rest of the supplies give you some of your memories back. I've been stung 6 times by those shuck grievers. But look at me! Does it look like I have the shuck flare?" He says smiling. "What are you talking about this doesn't make sense! What do you remember?" You ask him. "My name is Benjamin Hayes Grier, I am 15 years old, Nash over there is my brother--" You cut him off, "Does he remember you?" You ask him curiosity lurking inside of you, you had to learn more about that boy. "Yes, Nash and I have been stung equal amount of times." He says laughing a bit. "Anyways as I was saying, I remember most of my life, but WICKED doesn't know that. All I am hoping is that no beetle blades are around, I could get killed if they find out." He says looking down. "I have to get back to work. I will see you later." He says and walks back to the blood-house. "Where is Matt and Nash?" Someone asks as they walk to one of the entrances. "It's getting late and they haven't returned from the maze." He continues. "Maze?" You ask. "Shuck it greenie." He says. "Excuse me?" You say. "You heard me gree--" he stops as he looks at you. "Oh, I'm sorry." He says, "I'm so used to treating boys like that. I'm Taylor." He says as he looks back into the maze. The familiar screech of metal starts up. "GUYS GUYS! NASH AND MATT HAVEN'T RETURNED FROM THE MAZE!" He shouts as everyone comes running. "There they are!" Hayes calls out. You see Matt dragging Nash down the path. "C'mon Matt! Hurry the doors are closing!" Everyone one starts yelling. Matt falls to the ground. You can't let him not make it. You start to run through the opening. "What are you doing greenie? Get back here!" Everyone starts screaming at you. You fall through the last crack and watch the doors close. You are stuck inside the maze. "Welcome to hell babe. Nice knowing you." Matt says sweat dripping down his face.
