"Just pretend," Newt instructed her. "Pretend you're not in a box." Marie turned her head to the blond boy, her brown eyes glaring into his. "I'm already one step ahead," she muttered. "I'm in a maze." The first installment of the Boxes Trilogy. Marie arrives in the Glade only remembering her name just like all of the others. When she arrives, she automatically knows she doesn't belong here. Pretending that she isn't trapped in a cement box is the only thing that gets her through the day, and so does the accompaniment of a certain blond boy with a funny accent who goes by the name Newt. In a place of horrors and confusion, she might just find hope in the only person that seems to trust her. Phase one is in progress and everything is going to change. I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE MAZE RUNNER. Everything in this story was created by the author of TMR, James Dashner. The only things of my creation is Marie and a few other Gladers.
