Hello readers! :) After some break, here is the continue of Different Angles. I thought a lot about this story. Should I write it down? And what will be the story? I want to follow the Scorch Trials from word to word or I change the happenings a little? After all the thinking I decided, I'll do this story and also change it a little. The base is still the second book of the Maze Runner series, but I had some ideas and I also changed some places - mostly because I've read the books long time ago and I cannot remember the places' exact look, sorry. So maybe buildings and scenes will be different. But I still hope, you'll enjoy to read it :)

She sat silently next to Newt on the bus. Literally grabbed his arm and felt if she releases it she will be lost in this new and frightening world. After their very-very long night Zera thought the worst was behind them. The fight with the Grievers was merciless, lots of Gladers died in that battle. Thomas and Teresa did their part, used the passwords and led them out of the Maze. They've met the Creators but didn't have the time to ask questions: Gally was with the woman who spoke to them, but he acted strangely. Suddenly pulled out a knife and threw it toward Thomas but Chuck stepped in front of him. It killed the poor boy. Thomas totally lost himself and almost beat Gally to death and after that just cried. Zera knew this pain. Right after that people arrived. People with guns and started to shoot. The chaos was huge and she was terrified. This was too new to her and couldn't react anything. These people said everything will be all right and they are all safe now. Somehow she doubted that.

Finally the bus stopped. She was half asleep by that time; her head was fallen on Newt's shoulder. On the road one of their saviors told things in nutshell. The Earth was ruined by a huge sun flare. The climate went crazy, people died in starvation, in the city's places there is nothing more just desert. But that was just the beginning. A human made virus got out and roamed freely in the middle of the chaos. The humans call it the Flare. It eats your brain away, you'll become an animal. After the Gone you start to kill everyone who is not infected. And there is no cure. It sounded some kind of crazy zombie movie.

WICKED was formed to solve this problem. She, Newt and every one of them was their lab rats. They watched their brains closely and tried to find the cure with their help. But nobody asked them first, nobody was interested in their opinion. They ruined their childhood; they couldn't be a normal teenager. But, as she looked through the window she wondered: Is anything still normal out there?

The saviors led them into a house. First they went into the kitchen and got some pizza. Zera watched the others as she ate and some of them already felt themselves in totally safe. When everybody finished the meal, the adults showed their bedrooms.

"Girls and boys are separated. Don't get any hope boys." he winked. Zera looked at Newt. She didn't want to be keep away from her group members in an unfamiliar place. That would be the best if they keep together and deal with stuffs together. Newt saw this in her eyes. Reached out and touched her arm in reassurance.

"Everything will be okay, darling. I will be here in the morning. Not going anywhere."

Zera looked at their host who smiled at her. This bugged Zera. She didn't trust him or anyone of the others, not for a second.

"Just be careful." she said.

He smiled at her warmly, if like it was nothing to be aware of.

"I will." answered. He smoothed his hand downward on her arm and then she let the stranger to lead them into another room.

In the next morning she knew she had to listen to her instincts. Because when she woke up a bunch of crazy people attacked the windows and the boys were nowhere to be found.

This was a really short first chapter :O
