This story was set long before Teresa and Thomas came along. After Minho's girlfriend, Paula was stung, she came out of the changing a different person. Changes didn't only affected Paula but so did the glade. From the appearance of Beetle Blades, anonymous nightmares and the stories from Paula's flashbacks, Minho tries to figure out the mysteries behind all this animosity as well as finding a way out of the maze.

WICKED told them the Trial was over -no more tests, no more lies, but Frankie had been deceived enough to know that the statement alone could never be true. Truthfully, she wanted to die. She wanted to leave this cruel world of being experimented and played with too many times to count. Until she came back from the brink of death for the second time, with more names of her friends written as dead instead of alive. Now, she just wanted to run away. She wanted to live on a peaceful place, somewhere WICKED could never go, with Minho and all of her friends -Newt, Reggie, Frypan, Clint, Stephen, Thomas, even those girls she had only met properly once. She wanted to be back in the Glade without the Grievers, Beetle Blades, and the constantly moving Maze. Maybe bring Alby, Nick, Ben, Chuck and Doug back. Talking casually over dinner or celebrate birthdays with Gally's concoction she (don't say it out loud, though) terribly missed. She wanted to live, and in order to live, she had to stop being under the mercy of WICKED. ⚠️ Mature Warning ⚠️ violent actions, mentions of suicide minho x o.c. <frankie> sequel to tough love ✔️ & tough guy ✔️ completed | may 2020 book 3/3 cr: icemacchiato

Just like the Griever's Hole, the dead men hung by hooks, the Rat Man, the Cranks and the brick walls, Minho had hopes that Frankie's death was just another illusion. As much as he tried to distance himself from disappointment, this was one thing he simply couldn't let go. And, apparently, his hope wasn't in vain. It took him years to break through her wall in the Glade, but she returned with a much sturdier, thicker and tougher wall protecting herself. Nothing was certain, except that no matter how hard she pushed him away, he was strong enough to pull him back into his arms, harder. He had to. ⚠️ Mature Warning ⚠️ violent actions, mentions of suicide minho x o.c. <frankie> sequel to tough love ✔️ #2 themazerunner #12 scorch completed | february 2020 book 2/3 cr: icemacchiato

If asked, any Glader would never hesitate to answer "Frankie" as the toughest one of all. The true protector of the Glade. A runner, a part of the Council, one of the ten original Gladers who built the system and made all the curse words from scraps. With body usually caked in mud, dust, soil, and sweat, Minho often joked that he didn't even remember that she was a girl at all. It took a few years and a few tears to make him realize how much he should've protected her. ⚠️ Mature Warning ⚠️ violent actions, mentions of suicide please refer to my page for more explanation! #1 themazerunner #1 minhoxoc #1 prologue #4 prequel #9 minho minho x o.c. <frankie> completed | september 2019 book 1/3 cr: icemacchiato
