Eliza: 

It had been a month since I have been in the maze, five days since the banishing and the fire. My legs healed up but it had a scar on it from the fire. I have had four more of those dreams and have learned that that man worked with WICKED the people who put us here. They tortured me and experimented on me until they broke me.

They broke me after three long years and made me work for them. They gave me the name Elizabeth and made me forget my past life. They took my life away and gave me a new and hard one.

For years I sent the boys into the maze and watched as they were killed and injured. I watched as they built themselves a home and a society. I watched as my two friends sent watched them as well. I didn’t want to do it anymore and said anything they would beat me again until I was bleeding and bruised. I kept doing it though I kept watching and kept getting beaten until I finally had enough.

I told one that I was done and didn’t want to be a part of it any longer. He was not happy and started beating me but I stood strong and kept repeating that I was done and wouldn’t do it any longer. Finally he was done. He took me to a room taking away my memories and sending me into the maze.

I remembered everything now and I would not be tamed by them again. They had destroyed my lives and the rest and now I was determined to take the down.

Today the box would come up and we were have a new member of our family. I was excited to watch this and to see who was coming. So once I finished making lunch, I cleaned the kitchen and than ran to the box. I hoped that is was a nice boy and that there would be some new and better clothes for me because my pants were burt in the fire and my shirt is all dirty.

Minho was already waiting at the box when I got there, but like for the past few day, he ignored me. I didn’t know if I had done something to make him hate me or if there was something wrong. He was avoiding me all day and than at night he would come back super late when I was already sleeping. I didn’t understand what was going on with him and why he was ignoring me.

“Hey Minho.”

“The box won't be up for another 20 minutes.” he said before starting off.

“Wait.” I said running to catch up to him, “Why are you ignoring me?”

“You want to know why I am ignoring you, it is because you know something and have for a while that you aren't telling me. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but I am done. I can't be around you knowing you are keeping a secret.”

His words caught be off guard as I had never thought of it like that. I never thought that he was annoyed that I wasn’t telling him about my dreams. I thought he was fine and that he didn’t really care but he did. He was angry that I wasn’t telling him what was going one.

“I’m sorry Minho I never thought you cared.”

“Don’t apologize unless you are going to tell me what is going on.”

I closed my eyes thinking of my options before deciding. I opened my eyes again looking at him, “Okay. Okay, I will tell you. Come to the deadheads at 12:30 and I will tell you what I know.”

He only nodded before walking off leaving me standing in the middle of the field by myself.

 I closed my eyes thinking of my options before deciding. I opened my eyes again looking at him, “Okay. Okay, I will tell you. Come to the deadheads at 12:30 and I will tell you what I know.”

He only nodded before walking off leaving me standing in the middle of the field by myself.

I turned around walking back to the box and sitting on the ground listening to the alarm going off and the sound of the box rising up.

After 20 minutes the box had finally reached the top. The alarms stopped and all the boys stood around the box now, or at least most of them. Newt and Alby opened the doors and I jumped down, Newt had told me that he was fine with me going down after I asked him over and over again.

The newbie as the bottom was in the corner hugging his knees in his chest. I walked over to him and knelt down on the ground in front of him. I wanted to make sure that he would get too scared so I made sure there was plenty of room for him.

“Hey it’s okay, I’m not going to hurt you.” I said gently, “Let's get out of here.”

He went to open his mouth and ask something but I cut him off, “Hold on until we get out before asking anything.” He nodded at me, taking me hand standing up. I froze for a minute recognizing him as on of the people in my dreams. We worked together on the computers monitoring everyone along with another girl. I snapped out of it not knowing what to do, and if I should say anything.

I helped him to out of the box climbing the rope they sent down. Once we got to the surface and out of the box I sat down with him and answered his questions.

“Where am I and why can’t I remember my name?”

“I don’t know who you are but I know why you are here. A company called WICKED who took your memories and sent you here. It’s what they did to all of us.”

“What is this place? Where am I?”

“We call it the glade and beyond those large walls is the maze. We are trying to find a way out of the maze and escape this place but we haven’t found anything recently.”

“How long have you been here?”

“I’m new I came only a month ago but some like Alby have been here for three years.”

“Oh.” his face fell when he heard how long Alby had been here. I don’t think that is what he exactly wanted to hear but there was nothing else that I could tell him and he would’ve figured out at some point. He looked back up at me, “is there any food here?”

“Yes, you just missed lunch but there was leftovers. Follow me..”

We walked to the kitchen as I told him about the glade and where everything was and what it was used for. When we arrived at the kitchen I walked in to see if there were any leftovers but it looked like frypa threw it out, instead, I got out some bread and made him a sandwich with some ham and cheese.

He thanked me before we went and sat down with it. He ate while I talked to him, and once he finished I took him to the homestead and showed him my room telling him that if he needed anything that he could always come and ask me. He thanked me again before I lead him to Newt who was getting the party that the newbies get. I never got one but that was only because they didn’t know what was going on and got distracted. Once Newt took the boy I headed to the deadheads to meet Minho.

When I got there Minho was already waiting for me he looked like he had been waiting for a while sitting on the floor against a tree. As soon as he saw me he stood up and walked over to me.

“Okay Eliza what is it that you have keeping from everyone?”

“It’s is hard to explain. You might want to sit down.”

We both sat on the ground as I started telling him about my dreams. I told him the first one I had where i woke up in a cell with myself. I told him how I escaped and what I saw outside but I didn’t tell him about the electricity, I didn’t understand it and didn’t want to tell him yet. I told him about how I worked with them and what I did. The whole time he sat there his face in shock as he listened to me and what I hadn’t told him before, he hadn’t expected any of this.

Once I had finished I waited for him to say anything but he didn’t for a few minutes. Once he got a hold of himself he looked at me talking.

“I understand why you were keeping this from us. I don’t think everyone would understand.”

I let out a sign feeling relieved that he believed me, “I’m sorry for not telling you sonner.”

“Don’t worry I’m glad you told me. And I am sorry that I have been avoiding you.”

I smiled not thinking he was going to apologize. “I’m glad that we are talking, it’s been so long since I had actually talked to you.”

“Should we go and join the party now?”

“No thank you. I would rather just stay here.” he looked a little taken aback but he smiled after.

Instead of moving we sat there talking. We talked about anything that came up. It was really nice it had been so long since she had actually talked to him. She was happy that he was actually talking to her because she hated thinking that.

Soon the light began to fade from the sky and I had to go and get dinner ready. I told Minho goodbye and headed to the kitchen yet again, and helped make dinner.

After dinner I went to my room changing into some of the new clothes that came up in the box. There had been a backpack marked with my name. Inside of it was a pair of legging, some new jeans, and three new shirts. There was a new leather jacket and some toiletries.

I changed into the legging and one of the new shirts, before lying in the bed and closing my eyes and drifting off into sleep.

I heard the door open waking me up a little, I figured that it was just Minho coming in. The bed sunk down a little as his calming voice started.

“Eliza, I’m really sorry for everything that I have been doing in the past few days. I really do love you so I am sorry.” I could tell that he was trying not to cry. He truly felt bad for what he had done and I now felt bad for being mad at him.

I rolled over wrapping my arms around his waist giving him a squeeze.

“I forgave you a long time ago.”

“Eliza, your still awake?” he said a bit shocked.

“I woke up when you came back in.” I sat up looking at him as his back was facing the opposite way as me. He turned looking at me his eyes watery.

“I’m very sorry for everything.”

“There is nothing that you have to be sorry about. I forgave you a long time ago remember.” I smiled reassuring him. He gave me a smile back, “Lets get some sleep.”

We both laid down my arm wrapped around his arm as we both feel asleep.
