"I told you to choose A." The woman repeats, revealing herself for the first time. Blonde hair, Brown eyes, and wrinkles covering her. "Who are you" A voice I recognised as my own, echoed through the tiny white room. I look around, abruptly, Noticing a girl tied in a chair.  Brown eyes and brown hair, full lips. "I'm Ava Paige" The woman said, before she disappeared in utter darkness.

The ground rumbled, and the walls tore down, as a violent gust of wind blew sand over the white tiles. I look around for the girl, who was tied in the chair. But she was gone, then I notice the mighty sand dunes surrounding me. I quickly scale one, revealing on the other side a person, who was facing the blazing hot sun. I take a few steps down the dune, before I fall over, and slide down. "Hello?" My voice, pulled the person out of their thoughts. I notice the ripped out brown hair, The blood running down on her chest, as it drips from her mouth, and the dull black eyes, glaring daggers into my skin.

She lets out an inhuman snarl, and pounces, knocking me over. She lets out another snarl, when the blood drips down, staining red on my forehead and cheek. I hold her at arm length, trying my best to escape the deadly figure. Her nails dig into my stomach, an excruciating pain travels through me, I cry out. She screeches again, spitting more blood on my face, and in my eye. The blur forming another pain, I quickly push her off me, kicking her in the stomach and then I start scaling the dune in front me, but mt feet slip as she grabs my foot, and my head slams against a brick.

I jolt awake, grabbing the side of my hammock securing myself, so that I don't fall off. "Hey Hey! A, you alright?" The greenie asks, as he grabs my shoulders and pushes the hair out of my face. I take my sleeve wiping the sweat of my face. "Yeah... W-where's Newt?" I ask sitting up, rubbing my temple. "His running the maze, okay? Frypan spared you some food" He states, as he takes a seat on his hammock across from mine.

"Oh alright" I stand up, looking around. "He must be back in a few minutes or so" The greenie continued, I nod, and notice the group of boys gathering around in a circle in the middle of the glade. "Klunk" I whisper, and sprint over, with the greenie following behind in a distance. A scream comes from the middle, Clint and Jeff picking up the distressing boy. I push past the group, and I follow behind them. "What happened?" I pant a bit, catching my breath.

"Slicer" Clint grunts, I nod. We approach the medhut and I push open the door for them. They enter a room, and placed the boy on the bed. I soon notice it was Jack, who had cut a piece of his finger off.

Newt and Minho have finally arrived back at the Glade, I instantly start jogging next to them. As we make our way to the runner hut, I tell them of the accident with Jack, and how I stepped in when Jeff accidentally made a mistake.

Before we enter the hut, I pull Newt to the side further away from Minho's curious ears. I think of all the options how I can tell him, with his nervous eyes scanning me.

"Um- It's about last night" I mutter hoping Minho didn't follow us deeper into the woods. Newt is the only one who knows I have these episodes in my dreams, His frankly the only one I trust at the moment. He doesn't know what happens in these dreams disguised as nightmares, and I can tell its bothering him. But why?

"Your nightmare?" He asked confused, but yet a bit relieved. "yeah" I huff, I crouch quickly rubbing temple as I try to soothe the pain that erupted. It's as if someone took a blazing hot rod and pressed it against my head, but with the soft voice behind it all.
