"Thomas, Mihno, lead the way to the cliff" I say.
"What about grievers?" Mihno asks.
"They've all been shut down, now hurry"
Thomas and Mihno lead the way into the maze and we all follow. Once at the cliff I stand at the front of everyone.
"This is the escape that WICKED wants you to take. Down there is a computer and you have to put in a few certain words to unlock it and it takes you to the "exit". The real exit opens when you type in the words "emergency exit". This exit was made for anyone in WICKED who accidentally got in the maze. Once the emergency exit doors open, we will find a staircase. The Right Arm will be waiting for us"
"Teresa, I mean, Amathia, wait" Says Thomas. "How do you know its not a trap"
"Trust me, the Right Arm is against WICKED one hundred percent. WICKED uses innocent people for stupid experiments and its wrong-"
"Then why didn't you save us sooner?" Asks Mihno.
"I couldn't, I wasn't ready" I say. I have a flashback of Newt lying on the bed, confused of what me and Thomas are throwing him into. I remeber kissing him on the cheek before sticking the syringe into his arm.
"But I'm ready now" I say.
I turn away from the boys and jump into the Griever hole. Once inside I run to the computer and turn it one.
"Amathia, are you sure about this?" Newt asks me. I turn to him and smile.
"Yes." I say. I type "Emergency exit" into the computer and hit the button. A door opens and I walk towards it. I wait for the rest of the boys to come inside before I run down the stairs.
"Quickly!" I yell. I hear them all run behind me, a few even pass me.
"Stop!" A voice yells. We all turn and see a tall man with a gun stand in front of us. I look closely at the man and recognize his face.
"Steve?" I say. He looks at me and drops his gun.
"Amathia?"
"Long time no see" I say.
"Amathia, who the bloody hell is this guy?" Asks Newt.
"This is Steve. He's also undercover for the right arm. He purposely got a job protecting the emergency exit so when we come, he can take us right to the plane"
"Thats right. Follow me" He says before continuing down the stairs. We end up in a big dark room and he turns on the lights. We see a giant airplane in front of us and Steve leads us inside. We all sit down at random seats and Newt sits next to me.
"So what is this thing?" He asks me
"An Airplane. Steve is going to fly it and take us to the Right Arm compound where we'll all be safe."
"Can I ask you something?" He asks.
"Sure"
"Why did you join the Right Arm?"
"Because of you" I say. He looks at me in confusion.
"What are you bloody talking about?"
"When we were little, we were best friends. We used to play with each other everyday. Then we discovered that you were leaving to go to WICKED. My aunt Susana works for WICKED and she said thay WICKED does horrible experiments to children until they grow up and go to a maze where they have a sixty percent chance of dying. I didn't want that to happen to my best friend so when I heard about the Right Arm, I joined to help you"
I smile at him and take hid hand. He looks at me deeply with his dark brown eyes. He smiles slightly.
"Thank you" He says.
"Hey love birds" Mihno interrupts "when the hell are we getting out of here? Your buddy Steve isn't moving"
"What?" I ask before standing up. Steve sits at the front of the plane, not moving a muscle.
"Steve?" I say. Once I reach him, I poke his arm which feels cold as ice. I look at his face and he's pale as paper and his eyes are rolled back. I step away from him in shock. He's dead.
"Whats wrong Amathia?" Newt asks walking towards me.
"Oh God" I say. "No, please no"
"Amathia?"
I turn to Newt and tears start to roll down my face.
"Its a trap" I whisper. Suddenly, I feel something hit the back of my head and everything goes black.
...
I open my eyes and see white. I sit up and see I'm in a big white room, surrounded by the other gladers. They're all alseep.
"No" I say.
"Poor Teresa. Or should I say, Amathia" A voice says. I look up and see my worst enemy, I call him rat face.
"How did you know!" I yell. He smiles.
"Did you seriously think that we wouldn't notice that one of our most intelligent child has been taken and replaced with someone who looks nothing like her nor have an IQ nearly as high. Did you think we didn't see your behind the scenes phone calls to the Right Arm? Did you seriously think that we wouldn't notice all security cameras and beetle blades turn off and not try to fix them? Did you think any of that through?"
I glare at him.
"Then why didn't you stop me sooner? Huh? Why did you-"
"Because it was quite amusing watching you believe that you were being successful, thinking that you won. We need a good laugh here every once and a while you know."
His smile grows wider.
"What are you going to do to us?" I ask.
"Stage two" He says before leaving.
Author note: Hey guys, sorry I took longer than expected. As you can tell, there will be a part two of this story. I now that this was only five chapters long and I'm really sorry for that but I'm really bad at writing stories and extending them so I will definitely make part two much longer. Btw I failed a few of my exams, sorry. (You can tell I'm Canadian because I've said sorry three times already) ok, thank you all. Peace and Love.
