The Girl Who Fell From The Moon | Maze Runner

Chapter XVI

Minho's POV

"Hello group A, I hope you all remember me from our last encounter. However, I understand that some of you may not recall certain memories from your past, so I will reintroduce myself. I am Ava, or as you will all call me, Chancellor. I am the head of the WICKED corporation. I am here to tell you something very important and very serious. I am hear to oversee everything that goes on in WICKED and anything that may be associated with WICKED. I want to start by reminding all of you of what WICKED is about and the three different main parts of WICKED. The three parts of WICKED include Interactions with others, Technical Development, and Protective Forces. You may not have been informed yet, however, in the WICKED compound we have a certain set of individuals that have been training to protect us since birth" my heart stopped when I realized she was talking about Cassidy. After Cassidy explained everything last night, I couldn't go back to sleep. While I thought I was suffering day after day, trying to go back to Cassie, she was slowly going crazy, with no one but fake friends to talk to. I cannot even imagine what it must have been like for her, I'd rather have no friends than fake, backstabbing friends.

The chancellor continued her speech, her voice echoing through the halls, "There are some terrible and monstrous people outside the WICKED compound that wish to destroy us and everything that we stand for. Therefore, we assigned a group of people and gave them a job, to be our protectors, our guardians. I know none of you remember this, but most of you were Protectors. If your name tag that was handed out to you earlier, has a gray stripe on it, you are a Protector" I looked down at my name tag, and sure enough, there was an unmistakable gray streak slashed through it. I wave of mixed emotions hit me, relief that I was going to be with Cassidy but also a small hint of selfish fear, fear that the same thing that happened to Cassidy will happen to me.

"Protectors have been training since their childhood to become an advanced fighter. However, since you all possess human qualities, of course, some of you are better than the rest. And some are very significantly better than the rest. Those that were better were blessed with certain abilities. Among those abilities are telepathic communication and the ability to see the future. Four students possess telepathic powers, however, in the whole of the WICKED compound, only one individual possess the ability to see into the future. I'm fairly confident that you all know her, Ms. Alexandra Kassandra" Ava stepped aside to make way for a girl who confidently walked towards the microphone. Cassandra took a few moments to make a polite and curt bow towards the Chancellor before she cleared her throat and begun her speech.

"You may be wondering why the Chancellor chose to put special emphasis on the Protectors in this meeting. Although everyone's job is equally important towards the contribution of the betterment of WICKED, the job of a Protector has drastically changed since you were here last," Cassidy's eyes flickered around the room instead of reading off of a paper like the Chancellor did, "We have now had a breakthrough in technology. The project B89YT has been declared in stage two. This means that I now have mastered the ability to see into the future. It has been a long and tiring journey, but I want everyone to know... It's a curse" Gasps and mummers instantly erupted around the room as Cassidy defied the Chancellor in front of everyone. I saw the Protectors that were lined around the room clench their weapons as the rapidly began approaching Cassidy.

Cassidy, quickly noticing their advance rushed out her next words, "WICKED is a cruel society, they do not want to protect you. Run, run away from here, and never come back. They only want to hurt yo-" Cassidy was quickly cut off as the Protectors reached grabbed her mic and pushed her onto the floor. I surged forward to help her, but two Protectors pinned me down. I spent too much time sitting around in the wicked compound and since then, I have lost a lot of strength, there was no way I could get to her. Cassidy fought back against the protectors surrounding her, but there was no way she could overcome them. Abruptly, a girl that I recognized as Lise ran up to Cassidy and stuck something onto Cassidy's head. Her body immediately jerked forward and she began to let out a blood curdling scream before she stopped moving.

Yayayay- another chapter! Sorry that it's so short. I promise that the next one will be longer and it will have more action and less flashbacks and information. 

So the drama train has obviously reached Platform Cassidy -- I wonder whose next... lmao I'm sorry. 

Keep Smiling :)
