13. wicked is good

"Gally you can't do that!"

"Looks like I'm doing it" he simply answered and tightened your wrists to the wood.

Teresa and you were already tied up to the posts, right in front of the open doors. Two gladers were lifting Thomas up because he was still "asleep".

Of course, you had a plan.

Thomas all suddenly woke up from his fake sleeping and kicked one of the gladers in front of him. He jumped on his feet as he stole the spear the second one had to kick him with it.
You and Teresa kicked the gladers in front of you and you saw Newt in the corner of your eyes. He cut the rope on your wrist and protectively pushed you back toward the doors.

Gally tried to do something, but Minho pointed his machete at his back. He then joined your small group, standing in front of the doors.

"You don't have to come with us but we are leaving," said Thomas "If you want to come it's your last chance,"

"Don't listen to him he's trying to scare you" Gally told the group behind him

"I'm not trying to scared anyone, you are already scared. And I am scared, but I rather risk my life out there than spending the rest of it in here. We don't belong here, we're trapped. We can make it out of here,"

Everyone was looking at Thomas, and everyone knew he was right.
Winston joined you, then Jeff, and many others. In the end, Gally's group was just composed of six gladers more or less.

"Gally it's over, just comes with us," you spoke.

Gally looked down at the ground but didn't move "Good luck against the grievers" he only said.

You sighed and took a last glance at him, nodding your head before running off into the deep, dark maze.

You all ran and ran until finally arrived in the section 7. With your luck, you didn't meet any grievers, yet.

As you arrived in front of a long corridor, Thomas made you all stop and hide behind a wall. He pecked his head to see that a griever was already here.

"Is that a Griever?" asked Chuck.

Thomas nodded to him and you saw some of the gladers were scared.

"Guys, it's going to be okay. We survived last night right," you said, trying to cheer them up but also yourself.

"Okay, we'll have to be careful. Chuck and Teresa, you stay together," said Thomas. He gave the key to open the door to Chuck and told him to keep it close "Ready?"

Everyone nodded and you all started running like crazy. The sounds you were making made other grievers arrive from the holes on the side of the platform. You were asking yourself if spears were going to be enough to kill those creatures.

You were all gathered as a group in the middle of the corridor, attacking the grievers as much as you could.
You saw a boy falling from the edge but continued.

You spotted chuck accidentally letting the key fall and running after it. He caught it before it fell in the openings on the sides. Teresa ran after him as he almost fell. You grabbed Teresa up as she was struggling to didn't let Chuck fall. But another Griever started to come up and you all ran back to the group. Teresa and Chuck went to write the code as you all walked toward the doors, facing the grievers and pointing your pierces toward them.

"Thomas, there's a code with numbers!" yelled Teresa from behind

"The sections! Minho what are the orders of the sections" asked Thomas to the boy next to him

Minho yelled numbers as you all did as much as you could to push the Grievers away. You saw Jeff next to you and didn't have the time to do anything before he ran right in front of the grievers

"Jeff no!" you yelled but it was too late.

The Griever took Jeff away. You watched without being able to do anything. The walls started closing and you all went into the small room Teresa and Chuck were in before it closed. You were in the complete dark. You felt a hand brush over yours and grabbed it gently as you recognized Newt's touch.

"You're alright?" he asked behind you

"Yes, are you?" you asked back.

"Can someone try to find a door or something?" Minho spoke before you could get an answer

Teresa finally found a door handle. She slowly opened it to reveal a very long corridor. You all went in as lights started to light up one by one. You all looked at each other, without really knowing what to do.

You started walking further in and overviewed something off the distance. You looked back at everyone and wave at them to follow you.
Newt came closer to you before you stopped in front of a door. Above it was a sign that says 'exit'

"You got to be kidding me," Fry said

You turned to Thomas and he put his hand on the door handle, glancing at you before pushing it down. Smaller this time, the door revealed yet another corridor. Inside the room, it was chaos. The light was clicking, glass was shattered all over the floor.

You all walked in carefully. When you walked in further, you arrived in a room filled with blue lights. It was even worst than before. You saw bodies on the floor and walked back. Screens were all around the room, and once again, glass was everywhere. You were all looking in the room when Thomas pushed a red button.

One of the screens lighted up, to reveal a woman with blond hair and a white dress. You immediately recognized her as the woman you saw in one of your dreams. She seemed to be in the room you were in.

"Hello. My name is doctor Ava Paige. If you're watching this, it means you successfully survived the maze trials. I wish I could be here in person to congratulate you, but circumstances prevent me from doing so. You must all be confused, angry frightened... I can only assure you that everything that happened and everything we've done, was for a reason. You won't remember, but the sun has scorch our world. Billions of lives lost in fire, famine, and suffering. The fallout was imaginable."

You looked at Newt with fear and saw nothing but the same expression on his features. You were finally about to know what is outside but it was nothing like you imagined.

"What came after was much worst. We call it the flair. A deadly virus that attacks the brain. It is incurable and inevitable. Or so we thought.
With time a new generation born, they could cute the virus. Suddenly there was a reason to hope for a cure but it wasn't easy to find it. The young would have to be tested or sacrificed inside a harsh environment, to study the brain activity. All an effort to understand what makes them different. What makes you different"

You all looked at each other as she said this. I mean, of course, you just learned that you can cure a virus

"You may not realize it but you're very important. Unfortunately, your trials had just begun. You'll soon discover not everyone agrees with our methods. Progress is slow, people are scared. It's too late for me but not for you. People out there are waiting for you. Remember, wicked is good"

She finished and violently shoot herself in the head. You looked away and apperceived her body in the middle of the room.

Suddenly, lights filled the room and you all looked toward where it came from. Two dors were opening. You all turned and were ready to do something when a voice called you from behind.

"No!"

You all jumped and turned around. Gally was standing there, with a gun in his shaking hand.
