It's all a test

Chapter 1

*Flashback*
y/n POV
We were a normal family before Dad got a job working for WCKD. Soon after he got the job we moved into the facility. Mom and Dad began to fight a lot more when the Flare showed up and the fighting started to escalate even more when I started helping out in the lab. "This is all your fault and my daughter will not be a part of this," screamed my mother. They were fighting again. This was the 6th time this week. I snuck by the door that connected our rooms, looked through the crack, and listened in. "She is not only your daughter Isabella, and she is very bright for her age. Mary is taking very good care of her and says she is destined for great things. Would you rather she go up in the maze?" my father calmly responds. "Well, maybe she isn't yours anymore. I'm taking her and going to live with my sister down south," Isabella stated. Father smirked, "haven't you heard, your sister and her husband have contracted the Flare, their daughter is being sent up to be under our supervision. Now let us just pretend to still love each other for the sake of y/n." He turned towards the door but my mother stopped him. "I don't think so, my sister is dead and all you care about is getting her daughter. I won't let you have either of them." My mother stood her ground as the tears fell down her cheeks and her voice grew in intensity as she continued. "All my fucking life I have stood by your side and supported you, but I draw the line when you try to bring MY daughter and MY niece into it. I'm taking them somewhere where you can't ever find us. You won't be a part of her life and so help me if you come after us, I'll kill you." My father freezes, the look on his face, murderous. He turns around and pulls out a gun. "You are not taking her from me. Do you know how important she is to this facility?" My mother freezes, her eyes widen and she slowly puts her hands up "She's important to the facility, right, not to you but your fucking job." She turns her head towards the door I'm behind and mouths I love you sweetheart be strong. BANG, she freezes as her shirt is invaded by the colour red. "MOM," I scream, I push open the door and run to her. I drop down to her side and prop her up on my legs. I'm screaming now, "help somebody, please help." Tears are streaming down my face, "shhhhh, it's going to be okay my darling," my mother whispers, "trust Mary, not your father, I love you baby." I turn my head up at my dad "you asshole." He crosses his arms "watch your language young lady." "Fuck you," I get up, walk past the man that just killed my mother, and out the door towards the lab. Time to get some answers.

Mary POV
I had just finished prepping the next kid to go up into the maze, I think his name was Minho when y/n walked in her face streaked with tears. "Hey kiddo, you doing alright?" I ask concerned. "No, my mom and dad had another fight and he shot her, he didn't even hesitate," she replies with a stone-cold face. I knew that they weren't in a good place but I never thought that he would kill her. "The bastard said I was too important to the facility and wouldn't let her take me away." She took a deep breath "and she said to trust you not dad." She must be talking about how I was planning on leaving and joining the right arm, she was the only person I told. "Okay, I know this must be very hard for you, but you can't report this." The look on her face said it all, can I trust her? "Listen, your father has become a favourite of Dr. Paiges and she cares too much about the experiment to fire him, she will take his side. I'm going to be leaving soon and you are welcome to come with me. If not you will have a way of contacting me. It's right of you not to trust your father, he's become a bad person. When he first came here it was all about saving the world, then when the Flare was released he made his only goal to find the cure, no matter the consequences." I sighed and shook my head. "Mary," y/n piped up, "what do you mean the Flare was released and where are you going and why are you going?" She questioned her blue eyes widening. "Well WCKD was the ones who released the Flare after the scotch they believed that was the way to decrease overpopulation but then the disease mutated. That's when I was hired to find a cure. Well, where I'm going is a safer place, one where I should be out of WCKD's reach. Finally, I don't believe in the methods WCKD is using. They are sending children up into the maze and testing them in the hope to find a cure. I can't tell anyone or I would be killed so I am running away to join a better cause. If you still wish to come we will be leaving at sundown and whatever you do, don't tell your father." "I'll come, I can still train under your supervision and save lives, I'll see you at sundown," she responds and with that, she turns and walks out.

y/n POV
I go back to my room excited for a new beginning away from this place. I thought I was saving the world. But turns out I was destroying lives. I had a small bag packed and waited until sundown. 

                                                                          (*3 hours later*)  

I snuck over to the door and saw a body laying on the bed, I assumed it was my father and left. I walked into the lab and there was my father holding a gun to Mary's head. "Dad, what are you doing? Put the gun down," I calmly spoke not wanting to spook him. "y/n, y/n, y/n, haven't you learnt anything? You can't leave. Mary here has brought to my attention that the only way to keep you here is to kill everyone trying to take you away. Now just remember her death is on your hands," he chuckles. "Wait, I'll stay," I start but he cuts me off "No, it's too late for that my dear." "I'm not done, I'll stay willingly if you let Mary go on her way. I will stay and work my ass off and never complain or try to run away again, but if you kill her I will never stop trying to run and I will make it my life's goal to make your life a living hell." My father frowns, "you are too much like your mother. Fine, you win," he sighs, lowering the gun and rubs his temples. "Now I'm going to say goodbye." I walk up to Mary and wrap my arms around her nuzzling my head in her neck.

Mary POV
"Mary, how can I contact you?" she whispered, "my loyalty lies with you." I slipped a disc into her hoodie pocket "use this, don't get caught and please be safe." "Okay, that's enough, on your way Mary, come on y/n back to your room," he sneered. That wasn't the last time I heard from her or Thomas. It has been 2 months since she last contacted me. Last time we spoke she had told me that Thomas had been sent up and that it was getting harder to sabotage WCKD's work. I just hope that she was safe and had not been sent up into the maze. She had put too much effort into training herself not to show any kind of weakness or emotion. I hope she's safe.
