——————————————————— Nicole's POV
There were only 5 girls left from my maze now including me. There was Harriet, Sonya, Leanna, and Renee. Leanna was braiding Rennes hair while Harriet and Sonya arm wrestled. I just sat in the back tinkering away, not paying any mind to them.
"Hey, Renee what's that on your back?" Leanna asked. "What's what?" The brunette replied. I glanced up from my work to see Leanna pulling down the collar of Renees shirt so part of her back was visible. "There's something on your neck...it's some type of number." I was only listening a bit to their conversation since I was almost done with my new creation. "Property of WCKD. Group B, Subject B-9. The Ally."
"What? Do you have one?" Renee asked Leanna. "I don't know, check."
"Property of WCKD. Group B, Subject B-3. The Sacrifice." Everyone grew silent and looked at the wavy blonde. Even this got me to look up from my work.
"Well...that's promising." Renee said taking a few steps back. The blue eyes girl just placed a shaking hand on the back of her neck as we all looked around at each other.

We all just kind of sat there in silence none of us really sure what to say. "What are you making, Nick?" Harriet asked giving a nod to the contraption in my lap.
"If I build this right-which I did because I'm awesome-it'll...help me a bit." I said before slipping it on my leg.

I stood up with my new brace while the girls all watched. And I walked. Well...limped. Only a bit though, and as I walked there was less pain. I got to the other side of the room faster then I have at all during my time here.
I let out a little laugh as I looked proudly down at my invention. "You've always been good at inventing things Nick." Harriet said.
I gave a little chuckle at her and a grin. "It's what I do best."
