VOICES. THEY ECHOED inside of Ria's pounding head. Sharp commands, distorted words. Then, someone grabbed her. She thrashed wildly, screaming in despair. Newt's touch slipped away as they pulled her body away from the room. Away from Chuck. Thomas' cries of agony fuelled Ria's profound emotion but she finally let herself hang limp, giving into sorrow. Her legs dragged across the broken glass, cutting her skin and drawing crimson blood as they headed towards the light.
As soon as Ria was outside, she felt the scorching heat ignite against her limbs like a flame. Powder—like sand swam below her feet as people in masks yelled at her to run. She did, whole body burning with effort as the sun beat it's powerful, luminous rays down upon her. Her boots sank into the hot sand with each footstep. A large helicopter was waiting, it's propellers rotating as if it was ready to take off any second.
She collapsed into the vehicle beside Newt and he instantaneously wrapped his arm around Ria's shaking frame. Confusion shimmered in his ebony eyes, face streaked with dirt as he comforted her. She was fragile, a little glass girl who had been finally shattered. The sound of her sobs wrenched at his heart.
The door of the helicopter closed with a harsh slam, imprisoning them. As Ria looked around, everybody's faces were hollow canvases painted with bewilderment and misery. No—one spoke. A man opposite Ria, dressed in all back, pulled down the cloth covering his mouth. His gun rattled at his side.
"You guys all right?" he yelled above the cacophonous noises from the outside. Nobody responded. "Don't worry, you're safe now."
Ria didn't want to listen to him. She felt the helicopter rise as it lifted into the sky. The world situated on the other side of the glass was a wasteland. Ria gasped as her eyes were suddenly met with a stunningly impressive view. She took in the sheer scale of the Maze. The Glade, now a small green square, sat in the middle of the complicated labyrinth. They were all in one place, surrounded by towering walls in the middle of what seemed to be a desert. Sand dunes rolled into the distance and surrounded the stone complex. Mountains loomed ominously from afar, watching silently.
"Relax, kid. Everything's gonna change." the man spoke, his whiskey coloured eyes fixated on Thomas. Ria couldn't comprehend what had just happened, too many feelings were fighting wildly within her heart. Her body was numb, she couldn't take anything in. Tears continued to stain her cheeks, washing away the dirt. Newt's arm hugged her closer and she rested her head on his shoulder. Images of Chuck's terror—stricken eyes haunted her mind and she wanted to scream but her body was too debilitated. The maze was a test — a mere test. How anyone could be so cruel to create such an idea, she couldn't discern. But, she did know one thing.
Because of WICKED, her friends were dead.
A newfound rage stirred inside her stomach as she inhaled and a blazing inferno of vengeance poisoned her misery until she shook with resent. Ria glanced at her friend's faces, the despondency evident. Their lives had been taken and twisted by WICKED for a cause that seemed far beyond their capacities and now it was time they grasped them back. But for now, Ria closed her eyes, shutting everyone and everything out. As her mind wandered within the caliginous darkness, she vowed something to herself.
She was going to make them pay for everything they had done.
