   Her eyes fluttered open for what felt like the millionth time. She felt sore, but more rested than she had in awhile. She groggily sat upward to find herself on a soft bed. She looked around the room and realized that she didn't recognize it.

    Confused, she mulled over how it was she got there. Addy realized that it was the peculiar boy, Minho, who carried her out of the maze. She was then puzzled as to why he was there in the first place. But more importantly, where she was currently.

    With the dangerous concoction of fear and curiosity, the girl stumbled out of the bed. She winced in pain as she realized there was a large bandage that rapped her now exposed leg. Whoever had done it, had the decency to just roll up the pant leg. She leaned against the wall and hobbled forward. She gritted her teeth at the pain that had shot up all over her body.

    "You're awake!" A voice called from beside her. Startled, she turned in surprise to find a young boy with a plump face and curly hair. He gave her a cheesy smile as he readjusted a bucket and some towels in his arms.

    "Name's Chuck." He said introduced. She blinked, shocked at seeing a boy. Then she realized how stupid it was considering she had already met Minho.

    But this boy was not as intimidating. He was young and had this innocent look in his eyes. She could see that he was a sweat kid, someone she could trust.

    "A-Addison." The brunette replied with a weak smile. She hadn't thought it possible, but his smile widened.

    The girl surveyed the room again, it's unfamiliarity had made her uncomfortable yet again. Her eyes then trained on the doorway that stood not too far from her. She could hear people and see the green of grass.

    As if sensing her confusion, Chuck explained "Minho brought you back here."

    "What do you mean here? We were in the maze. The only place we could go was the centre of it." She asked. The boy gave her an odd look.

    "We are in the centre of it."

    "What?" Was all she could say. Suddenly feeling more panicked, she clung to the wall as she had practically hopped on one leg toward the doorway.

    "Hey, be careful!" Chuck called out, dropping the bucket from his hands. He rushed toward the girl and helped to steady her.

    Once her head peaked out the door she froze. Adds instantly recognized the towering stone walls that had surrounded a similar looking Glen. If it wasn't the different structures and layout of the place that had made it evident she wasn't home anymore, it had to be the many boys that walked around.

    "Where the hell am I?" She mumbled hoarsely. Chuck eyed her carefully, not really sure how to handle girls.

    "Welcome to the glade she-bean." He said with a proud smile.
