(A/N) Hi guys! I'm TheGladeGirlClara but please call me Clara! I love the Maze Runner a ton and have been writing fanfics for it a lot so I decided to write one for you all! Thanks so much!

*DISCLAIMER* only Clara belongs to me. The rest of the characters and places belong to James Dashner unless otherwise stated.

Chapter 1

I've been here for a year now. It's odd, I was the only one to come up with someone, and I'm the only girl in the Glade. If you are wondering, I came up with my older brother, Minho. Our names and our relation to each other were the only things we remembered. He is the Keeper of the Runners, and I am just a Runner. We are Running partners though. Anyway, it's still early morning, so I get up off of my hamock in the Deadheads and shake Minho awake, since he sleeps not to far from where I do.

"Minho! Wake up! We got to get ready and get our lunches from Fry!" I whisper-shout in his ear.

"Y/N. 5 more minutes," he whispers back. I brush my dirty blonde hair from my face and slap his.

"The Doors are opening in 5 minutes!"

"Shuck," Minho whispers as he flies out of his bed and puts on his shoes. Then, we grab our toothbrushes, which came up in the Box last month with a Greenbean named Ben, and brush our teeth and then I brush my hair before we sprint over to the Homestead to get our food. When we get there, we pick up our sacks and sprint to the Doors and take off into the Maze as they open. We repeat the the turns and twists to get to Sector 6 and walk around for a bit to catch our breath, as we have been running now for what, an hour or two? It is probably 11 by now, so we start to look for new hallways and such, as we have barely just found the Sectors. After two hours of looking and an hour for lunch and talking, we get up and start back, as it is well past two.

"What do ya think Fry's making for dinner, Y/N?" Minho exhales after a few turns.

"Hopefully not soup," I repsond to him as he turns left. But he backs up and pushs me behind him, into a wall.

"What's goi-" is all I can get out before he puts his hand over my mouth and a finger to his lips. My eyes widen with fear as I realize that only one of 2 things can be happening around the corner.

(A/N) I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Yeah I know it's short. The next one will be longer. Sorry!

Stay safe, Noses!
