Prologue: Lab Rat.

It hadn't been long since Katherine and the other Gladers had been put in a sterile room. All the Gladers sat away from each other.

Minho and Diana ran on treadmills, tubes and wires connected to them, while Thomas, Newt, Frypan, Winston and herself sat on chairs being prodded with needles.

Katherine already felt like some sort of lab rat. Her gaze flicks over to Thomas, the boy sat on a chair across the room, staring at the doctor attending him.

"Have you taken enough?" Thomas asks the doctor when he finishes taking another sample of Thomas's blood.

The doctor looks at him with a small polite smile, Thomas looks away and catches Katherine looking at him, he smiles at the girl sitting on the other side of the room.

He stares back at her lovingly and she looks down at her lap, her long brown hair falling over her face, hiding the soft tint on her cheeks.

Thomas smiles at her shyness, which is adorable and strange of Katherine.

They're safe now. . . Or so he hoped. They had to be, he wanted to find a safe place to be with Katherine and the other Gladers. And he would.

Katherine winced as a needle sank into her shoulder, Rat Man came by and whispered something to the scientist or doctors, whatever they were, attending her.

She could only catch some pieces of their conversation, but even just the bits were enough to stir up emotions in Katherine.

"Gentle. . .they're. . .valuable. . .cure. . .Doctor. . ."

Those words set her on edge, who are these people anyway? Random government officials with no absolute purpose? Though it might be possible, she highly doubted it.

Katherine didn't like this place. Not. One. Bit. All she needs is a reason to get out, and she's going to find it.

No matter the consequences after, she's going to leave with her friends. They're going to live happily ever after somewhere far from here.

Away from all the dangers so her friends can stay alive and safe, and she's determined to keep them that way.
