Dawn's P.O.V.

Dr. Goonell smiled as me as I entered the hallway and closed the door behind me but I couldn't bring myself to smile back at her. She noticed and instead gave a curt nod before guiding me through many different hallways but I paid almost no attention as to where we were going. All that echoed through my head as we walked was that Janson didn't care about me. He was my father and he didn't care. No matter how painful it was, it was the truth and I had to put it aside for now. If I wanted to safe Thomas and destroy Wicked, I had to put all my emotions aside. Nothing could be more important at this moment. Not my father, not Wicked their lies, not even Newt.

As we turned around a corner my eyes suddenly widened as the halls began to look familiar. 'Why are we walking towards the controlroom?' I asked slowly.

Dr. Goonell stopped walking and turned to face me. 'Listen, we are lucky to have you here. You helped to prep the subjects and study their brainpatterns in the Maze. And with your memories back you remember everything we taught you. And now, we need you to do it again.'

My heart crumbled in my chest, so Teresa was right, they were rounding up Immunes to start the Trials over. 'But didn't you say that Thomas his brain would complete the cure?' I asked slowly. 'Why would you need to start the Trials again?'

Dr. Goonell took a deep breath and suddenly seemed to look a little bit uncomfortable.

I narrowed at her. 'What's going on?'

She gave a slight shake of her head, nodding towards the right corner of the hallway.

Turning on my heels I let my eyes wonder in that direction and noticed a camera hidden in the corner of the wall. Confusion waved through me. Was she hiding something? Was that the reason she couldn't speak freely with me here?

'Follow me,' she said, making turn back to her as she walked down the hallway.

I did as I was told, curiousity getting the better of me. Maybe she could somehow help me out of this situation. She had always been kind to me before I entered the Maze, we used to have long talks about what we would do if the cure would work. Maybe, just maybe, she disagreed with Wicked their methods as well. But I couldn't ask her about it, as she just showed me there were cameras everywhere.

My heart started beating faster as we entered the hall where the controlroom was but I frowned as we walked right passed the door and instead walked through a set of glassdoors at the end of the hallway and then turned right. Finally she stopped walking, taking a card out of her pocket and opening the door, then gestured for me to go inside.

I must have been stupid for listening to her but something inside of me drove me to do it anyway. And so I stepped inside, my eyes widening as I saw who stood behind the white desk placed in the middle of the room.

'Chancellor Paige,' I breathed.

She nodded at me, a smile placed on her thin lips but before she could open her mouth and explain the situation to me, a sudden alarm starting blaring through the building and my heart jumped in my chest, the Right Arm was here!

She looked paniced at me as I turned to run out of the room. 'Wait,' she suddenly spoke and something in her voice made me stop in my movements and turn back to her.
