The Dimensional Defenders : The Birth Of A Hero

Chapter 4

She woke up with a jolt of vibration coming from underneath her. She looked around and saw a black space with glimmering lights like stars. Looking down at her hands, every movement she makes, the black ground ripples around her moving body parts. This reminds me of....Ezra...She thought to herself. While looking at the ripples, she noticed that her hands are not drenched in blood anymore. And so were her entire body.

Okay. That's the only reaction she had before she starts walking down what looks like a pathway because of 2 parallel lines going straight from where she got up. For most people, if they meet up with something as weird as this, they would definitely freak out like, 'Where-am-I?!' kind of freak out. But she didn't. I guess, this constant connection that she has about merging reality with non-realistic stuff really does help her get through any sort of situation.

She kept walking along the pathway. "Hello? Is anyone out here? Hello?" That's the only phrase she shouted. I mean, although you don't show much reaction about the weird place, you still need to find out where the heck you are, right? "Where am I exactly? It can't be the space between space like the one Ezra went through. That's not real. Is it?" She asked herself. For a person who's capable of merging between reality and non-reality, even she couldn't tell whether if it's real or not.

She then stopped and closed her eyes. Moving her body around backwards and forwards, she's trying to verify that this is real and not a dream. She feels the movement of her arms and legs. They were definitely hers and she was definitely in control of them but it just doesn't make any sense. How could she be really alive if she's not in the real world? Just when she thought of that, a bright green glow startles her from behind. Inside, she saw a green and peaceful plain of grass but at the same time, at the end of it, she saw a dense forest. And as she looked closer, she saw a grey wall of some kind behind it.

She walked backwards in shocked. "No, it can't be...no. It can't be the maze, could it? She said to herself. When she did, the image of the portal changed. Now, it's showing people living in that plain. These people....they seemed so familiar. But this can't be real. It just couldn't. Thinking that, the image turned and zoomed in to a group of people talking to each other.

There were 3 of them. One of them is talking with a British accent. Another is a black person who seems to know about every inch of that place. And the guy in the middle, he was the one that shocked Sarah from the tips of her hair to the souls of her feet. "No way. It really is him. Thomas..."

"And then for a second there I thought you had the chops to be a runner. Till you face planted. Huhu...that was great." "Runner?" The usual dialogues Sarah would hear whenever she watches The Maze Runner again and again. She looked at him and thought about how amazing he was at escaping the maze and all the sacrifices that he did in order that all of his friends were safe and alive.

Reminded by that, the image turns again. This time, the portal changed colour into a light neon blue and it gave Sarah a bit of the chills because this next image made her insides go wild. It was the scene where Thomas was face to face with Janson, who is pointing his gun straight at him. "No. No, not this scene." Sarah's hands were getting all sweaty now. I've got to save him. But...no. This is not real. But what if...what if it is? Sarah, thought about saving him. Her hands were gripped tight to her shirt.

Now, she's deciding on Thomas's fate. Does she need to save him....or not?
