2. Chapter 2

Leo POV

I was forcibly shaken awake from my beautiful sleep.

"Five weeks and you think you could wake up yourself. But no I still have to come wake you up like your shuck mummy." Complained Minho as I rolled of the hammock, face planting the floor.

I groaned loudly, refusing to budge while Minho tried desperately to pull me to my feet. I am saddened to say that he succeeded.

I trudge through the glade to the east door. Five weeks ago I woke up terrified, confused and all alone in an icy cold box. I remembered nothing except my name. Leo. The box was a strange elevator type thing that sent supplies and new kids, like me, to a place called the glade. The glade is a type of encampment in the middle of a danger filled maze to which we strive to escape. There are no girls in the glade. I spent my first few days sobbing my eyes out. Then I was chosen to be a runner, a person sent out to the maze to map it in order to find an exit. Now I spend my days hoping to live long enough to see the next.

I dash through the endless corridors of the maze. Hoping to find something different... But it's all the same large, cracked, ivy covered, stone walls. Occasionally the silvery glint of a scurrying beetle blade breaks up my bland surroundings. Usually I would run with someone, usually it was Linc, my friend, but just two days ago he was stung by a griever. Grievers were strange monstrous mechanical spider-slug like creatures that roamed the maze. They apparently only come out at night. Apparently. But Linc was stung in broad daylight! Luckily the griever didn't continue to pursue him after he was stung and we were able to give him the serum in time. The serum is a medicine that when injected into you prevents you from dying because of the griever sting but also gives you flashbacks of the past. This process is called the changing and it's very, very painful and afterwards people are never really the same. There's a kid in the glade named Gally, only knew him for a few days before he got stung, but during those few days he was a really good guy. After the changing though he wasn't the same person as before. He became cruel and just… changed. I really fear for Linc. He's was an awesome person. I don't want him to become like Gally. That's if he makes it. Not everyone who goes through the changing survives it… As I said, it's a very painful process.

You're only meant to remember things if you've been stung but these past five days I've been having these dreams... I think they're visions from my past. And man it's really creeping me out.
