She was practically cursed to be someone to look out for since birth. Having lived her entire life in the Scorch, she was on edge, paranoid, and was always prepared to kill. Even if it made her enemies, she did what she had to to survive.
Aris knew nothing about that sort of lifestyle. His Maze and two weeks out there didn't make him cold. It didn't make him so dangerous that getting close to someone would risk their lives.
She did though. She was like that, so when this random boy she had a terrible first impression with told her to stay in the Safe Haven, she wasn't eager to take it. Not at all. Even if it was her only chance of normalcy.
Even if it was her only chance of falling in love.

She is stuck in the glade with no clue, no memory, and no hope, that is until she finds an unexpected romance. Will she fall in love? Will she make it out alive? Or will she die, a lonley Crank in the maze?

Memories - Minho Book II
*WARNING* If you haven't read Book I, please read it before this one! (y/n)'s out of the maze, or so she thought. Memories of the past come back to her in her sleep. When she wakes up in a strange, unfamiliar place far from the maze, she's instantly skeptical of her surroundings, from the armed guards to how off limits the place is. She might be out of the maze, but she still feels like she's imprisoned. Thrust into the scorch, more memories come to her every time she closes her eyes. Even then she can't tell fact from fiction. Are those her real memories from times past, or are they simply more fictitious stories that WICKED has implanted into her brain? Befuddled by her visions, (y/n) isn't sure which side is right anymore, who to trust. WICKED is good. Might it be after all?Complete

teenage wasteland ;; the maze runner
" don't cry, don't raise your eye. it's only teenage wasteland." she arrived just the same as everyone else. scared, confused, and lacking fifteen years of memories. the only difference, however, was the fact that she was a 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭. nevertheless, florence made her mark. she learned pretty early on that every moment mattered, especially if she were trying to convince a group of boys that she, too, could be trusted. and helpful. two years later, flo had proven to be just that. with her secured job as the keeper of the medjacks (and the self assumed role as sister of the glade), things should've started looking up. too bad that good things don't last forever. after the death of their late leader, nick, and ben's mysterious day-stinging, florence was beginning to lose hope. that is, until a mysterious boy (and his comatose counterpart) arrived, flipping her beliefs upsidedown, sideways, and three-sixty degrees all with one scrap of paper. "she's the last one. ever." and so, along with the rest of the glade, it is time for florence to explore deeper within the maze. what else awaits them? awaits her?

Complicated
She wakes up in a cage cold and confused. She refuses to show any weakness in this strange new place; she shoves everything down, deep down behind a mask of indifference snippy remarks and a few right hooks. She wont let these new and strange boys see her cry, she wont show them any signs of weakness. She can't, she's the only girl and she needs to be tough. It's the only way to survive this harsh new world she finds herself in. Being tough and ruthless catches the attention of one particular builder. He's not one for emotions either, especially in a place like the Glade. He knows something is off, and he does his absolute best to keep order around him and in him, when everything's falls apart. Are these two destined to be together? Or are they too similar in personalities? Are they too broken from their own traumas to work it out? Maybe she likes him. Kind of. Maybe he might like her. She probably hates him. He can't stand her. They don't want the other to know. But maybe they do...a little. Who has time for romance and feelings in a place like The Maze. Life. Romance. Friendships. Emotions. It's all just so... Complicated. **MATURE SUBJECT MATTER- VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED**Complete

Like he did her own brother. Aris was put into maze B. Although he never knew it, his sister was always watching over him. He had his memories Natalie made sure he did, but he wouldn't remember dad, or even mum. Only her. Natalie left her father and ran off with the right arm.

Left Behind//The Maze Runner
She was from Group B. They called her an "original," one of the first thrown into the Maze and left to survive. Escape was never part of the plan. Not for her. Not after everything she'd seen. But somehow, they made it out. Now, she's been relocated to a so-called Safe Haven-a sterile facility that is said to be their reward for surviving. But nothing about it felt like a reward. Aris, the only other survivor from her group, doesn't trust a word they say, and after a new group of boys bursts in with warnings of lies, manipulation, and something far worse lurking beneath the surface, neither does she. One of the boys stands out amongst the chaos. There's something in the way he looks at her. It's like he's seen the same horrors, like he understands her in a way no one else has. And no matter how much danger they're in, she can't seem to stay away. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: escaping the Maze was just the beginning. • • • {Published 3-10-18} {Completed 9-19-18} {Started Editing 11-13-22} {Finished Editing 07-07-25}Complete

REMNANT | THOMAS x TMR
The ice still screamed when it cracked. Even after they escaped, Kora swore she could hear it - the shriek of frozen walls collapsing behind them, the echo of blades scraping across endless white. The Glacire had been their prison, a labyrinth of glass and frost that glittered like a promise and killed like a trap. Now it was only a blur on the horizon, a wound of blue light swallowed by storm. Aris's breath came in ragged clouds beside her. Rachel's skates hung from her wrist, dripping crimson that steamed in the cold. The three of them should've felt free. They weren't. Freedom didn't sound like the thunder of aircrafts cutting through the snow. It didn't look like soldiers in black masks shouting for them to run. And it didn't feel like the ice beneath them trembling, alive, as if the maze itself refused to let them go. Kora turned once - just once - to see the Glacire's last secret vanish into the blizzard. The map they'd found, the thing carved into the thin membrane of a dead Skraith's wing, had led them here. Out. Alive. Or maybe straight into another trap. When they woke in the compound, Kora knew. The maze hadn't ended. It had just changed its shape. And when the new survivors arrived - one of them looked at her like he'd seen her before. Like he'd known her. But Kora didn't know him. Now she must figure out who this boy is, while also trying to figure out how to survive this ravaged world without her memories.![Wicked Atmosphere | Aris Jones [2]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/141976389-256-k141756.jpg)
