- Newt's Perspective -

     Thomas, Minho, Athena, Chuck, Frypan, Eleanor, Winston, Teresa and myself remained. Upon entering the presumed exit, we found ourselves in some sort of a lab except the people inside have all been... Killed? Computers were smashed, lights flickered ominously and glass was shattered everywhere. Whatever this place was, it was a complete disaster. After a few seconds of observing the area, Thomas accidentally pressed a button and a woman popped up on a glass screen. She was elderly, had blonde hair that was tightly wrapped into a bun, wore pristinely white clothing and red lipstick.
     "Congratulations on completing the maze trials. My name is Dr. Ava Paige and I am the head of the World Catastrophe Killzone Department. You don't remember this but the world outside has been scorched by the sun. The world population has decreased exponentially due the sun. From this devastation, arose a deadly disease we call the flare. It infects the brain, making its victims become irrationally insane, zombie-like. We have been trying to find a cure and recently, a generation has proven that a cure is possible. Over time we tested this generation and experimented under harsh conditions to try and find a way to explain why this generation was so different. To explain why you are so different. Unfortunately this process has been time consuming, we are hoping to find the cure before it is too late for us. But for you, it may not be. Always remember, W.C.K.D. is good." As ava spoke her last words, she held a gun up to her head and shot herself. My mind was going insane, it was too much information to take in all at once. I shook my head and ran my fingers through my hair, looking towards the glass screen where the video of the Ava woman was projected. Everyone was just as frightened and confused as I was. As I continued to look closer into the glass screen, I recognized that behind it  was a bed. Why would a bed be in a lab like this? I decided to get a closer look. As I walked around, I realized the glass screen was actually a glass wall. It's a room? I walked towards where I assumed a wall once was, given all the shattered glass. I noticed a body that lay on the bed and it was breathing. I stepped closer and Athena seemed to follow me, curious at my findings as well.
     "What do you see Newt?" Athena asked, following behind me. The body seemed to be that of a girl's and her face was covered with hair in a familiar shade.
     "It's a girl." I looked over at Athena and back at the unconscious body. "Hold on a minute.." I said, becoming more curious as my heart raced. I gently pushed the girl's hair off her face, and my eyes widened in disbelief.
