Sixteen year old Lily sighed nervously and ran her hair through her red curly hair. Her big brother Thomas, was supposed to be here ten minutes ago. 'He should be here by now.' She thought fiddling with her fingers she watched the metal doors on the other side and waited.

Bang

Lily gasped, as the door was flung open and slammed against the wall as she saw Thomas. He looked out of breath, he grabbed one of the white plump chairs from the nearest table pushing it again the closing door. "Thomas are you ok? What's going on?" Lily asked, shaken up at her brothers strange behaviour.

Why was he running from the guards earlier when she looked on CCTV?

What had he done?

He was Wicked's golden boy and she was just the little sister. She only wanted to be safe. She never felt safe at Wicked now, not anymore. The boy she still may love is in the maze, the only other person who understood her just as well as Thomas was gone too. Lily deep down knew that it wouldn't be long, she knew that she will be sent in the maze very soon.

"Listen, you're going to be very angry at me when I tell you this." Thomas said, backing her up away from the door. She knew the guards would be here in 5 minutes tops. They will take him away, to separate them both again. "Tell me what? What's happening?" She said looking at her brother studying him. He was scared, guilty about something. "I need to go in the maze, I have to. It's too much, everything with Wicked it's going too far. He said shaking a little.

"You've seriously just figured that out brother...Golden boy." Lily said folding her arms.

"Stop it! I'm serious." He snapped.

Lily gave him a warning look. "Look I'm sorry ok. I need to do this. For them. For you. You haven't been the same since Chuck went in. Let alone let anyone close to you apart from Raven."

"Raven is my best friend, I can tell her anything, you haven't been around nor has Teresa. I understand why, but you're my brother and we stick together. I thought we were leaving this place together." Lily said her eyes stinging with tears. "You can't just swan off into the maze, leaving me behind here in this... hellhole." Thomas grabbed her cheeks and wiped a tear away. He hated seeing his sister cry and anyone who made her cry. "Lil you need to understand."

"You can't be serious he's gone and now you're going! You're my brother! You can't leave me alone with these monsters." Lily cried.

"I'm doing this for them, most of our friends are in that Maze and I'm doing this for you. They can't find out what type of immune you are, I figured it out. They'll do bad things to you. I bet Dr Paige will authorise it to just to experiment. I've shredded your results and I burnt them." Thomas said, explaining desperately hoping Lily would understand. His blood boiled at Dr Paige's name she could do anything to Lily.

"They won't figure it out, if they do I'll run away or I'll go into the maze, without authorisation after you. Do you remember what I told you about memories." Lily stated Thomas smiled, "Yes, but tell me again its deep."

"I told you that nothing is really forgotten, a name, an object could change everything we aren't lab rats, we are human. Oh before I forget, don't ever say the things you remember out load when you enter the maze. You need to write it down, they have some form of spys in there." Lily said, taking her brother's hand knowing that they're going to be separated now. "What are you going to do when you get in the maze Tom."

"I'm going to get them out. Then I'm coming back for you and never letting you out of my sight again. I can't keep watching them die it's up to you weather your willing to come and get your memory wiped, forgetting and everything." Thomas said Lily sighed rolling her eyes, Thomas inwardly groaned. "Nice try at talking me out of it. Isn't working, I don't want to be a coward I need to go with you." Lily said foldeing her arms.

So stubbern Thomas thought "When I get them out and I will, I'll be itching to find out who I am, where I came from. You need your memories. That's how you can help me...Us."

"So...Pretend I don't remember anything, then run off to the scorch or something. We know WKCD Tom. They'd hunt me down."

"No. go on a the next misson and take off, I'll try to contact you."

"How?

"With this." He said gesturing to his forehead fingers wiggling. Lily tilted her head confused for a second. "Your forehead?" She said, Thomas rolled his eyes, "No. my ability."He huffed with yet a little smile. "Oh right yes, I still think its creepy when you do that." Thomas chuckled.

"What if they catch me and throw me into the maze, it already hurts that you won't remember me your own blood."

"If they do so what we will still get a burst of familiarity we are strong."

"OVER THERE!"

Lily gasped

"Hide! Get back to your room pack and get out of here first chance you get. Promise." Thomas urgently whispered, Lily nodded. "I promise." Lily scrambled to the nearest corner as the big green WKCD guards savagely seized Thomas Lily watched as they injected the silvery liquid known as the memory swipe into Thomas's neck he looked at her and fell unconscious.

Lily dove into the vents that lead back to her room, she began to move to the right but stopped as a women's voice echoed through the room. "Was he alone?"

Chancellor Ava Paige

"Yes."

Teresa?

Did she have something to do with this?

"No Lily then." Dr Paige said suspicion clear as ice in her voice. "She's in her dorm sleeping. I checked." Teresa said, her voice confident and posture perfect. But Lily knew her. Teresa, she was lying to Dr Paige! Lily knew how Thomas felt about Teresa. She hoped that Teresa wouldn't stick around and be grilled and hounded by Dr Paige. "Thank you Teresa." Lily moved to the right mirroring Teresa's movements from above, Teresa looked up and caught her eye.

Its ok I'll go after him for you

Lily jumped, she hated it when she did that, invading her mind spontaneously. She wasn't sure how she felt about Teresa's words. Did she mean it? Would she go after Thomas? Or does she have another motive.

A beep sounded through the room and walking inside in a usual white turtleneck was Janson. Head of security and a total ass. He nodded to Teresa as she left the room not before Teresa looked to see the lift that led to the maze Thomas would be going to.

Maze A

Teresa spoke to her again

You really need to try this out Lil doesn't hurt

Yes it does

See

Janson approached Dr Paige cautiously. "I told you. We should send Lily to the scorch, test out this aura around her, I personally have my theories. Find a cure using any method possible."

"Janson it's hard to test her out there and send her to the maze when we don't know her results and now never will."

"I think he destroyed them. You know how protective he is of her."

"Shame, Lily is fascinating; watch her like a hawk Janson."

Lily carefully made her way through the vents to her room.

If you can hear me Thomas know that I miss you already and I hope you are ok, I love you big brother..
