Amaurotic \\ The Maze Runner [Newt] [1]

Prologue

***

Avery sat there in patience, in a world that was nothing more than just a black-hole to her. Not a single color to be found. in-fact; not a single image to be found.

"I'm so bored." She heard a male huff, listening to his feet settle on his desk, which was his work space. "There's nothing to do in this blasted place, except for watching these dumb kid's run around."

Avery chuckled lightly, "We should put you in the Maze, maybe then, you won't be so bored."

"Say something like that again, and your mother will be getting a little note." The male, also known as David, pointed his finger at her, even though she couldn't see it. Basically telling her, 'Watch it, or I'll bite ya' right back.'

"Wouldn't dream of it," Avery laughed. "Besides, my mother would never do anything so morbid like that to me. She loves me too much." She smiled, knowing it to be true.

Or so she thought.

Hearing the door slide open behind them, and multiple footsteps. David looked back to the many faces of Ava Paige and her Wicked worker's.

"Spoke too soon." David's throat croaked.

"What're you talking about?" Avery asked.

David slouched in his seat, "You're about to find out." He hid behind newspapers.

"Avery." Ava spoke.

"Yes?" She answered right back.

"I'm sorry, but, we're putting you into Group A, Maze One." Ava almost seemed uneasy, like she didn't want to do this.

"Wait what?" Avery's breath quivered, as she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Your new name will be Nova," Ava proclaimed. "Remember that, for it'll be the only thing we'll give you."

"Why?" Avery asked, not completely understanding.

"To protect you." Ava answered.

"From what?" Avery was perplexed.

"That's classified."

Avery shook her head, not satisfied of the answer she'd been given. She had many question's in her mind, but she didn't bother asking any of them, for she knew she wouldn't get a straight answer.

The worker's of Wicked hurdled around Avery, as they grabbed both of her arms, and dragged her out of the room.

"Why would you do this to me?!" Avery yelled. "Do you not care anymore?!" She continued with more statements.

Once Avery was out of the doors, Ava turned back to the screen where the kids were being watched on. Listening to Avery's hollers fade down the hallway, as they were so distant at this point, they now sounded like pointless screams.

Ava seeming like she was trying to hold herself back, from breaking.

Waking up with a heavy breath, She was in a big metal Box, that seemed to be moving quickly upwards.

Once it came to an abrupt stop, her body stumbled forwards, as she face-planted into the metal bars underneath her. Letting out a groan in distress, she pushed herself back onto her bum.

Hearing the rough sounds of metal rubbing against metal, with it's wires and hinges on edge. The Box opened above her, she looked up.

Noticing she couldn't see a thing, and figuring out that she was blind, she was frustrated that she couldn't remember anything what so ever, nor could she even see who had brought her there, or even what was up above.
