Lily woke up with a sigh, she felt empty, Tom was gone stuck in a maze he built, no memories of her, nothing only a mere name everything else concealed and foreign. Yawning and stretching she got out of her bed and changed into the WCKD white clothes she hated and prayed things would be normal. She put on a white cardigan and took out her ID chip and swiped it for the door to open she needed to go to the control room, she must see Thomas.

Gasping Lily who welcomed by her friend Raven who's hand was just about to knock her door. "Good timing girl." Raven said looking to the left quickly, Lily furrowed her eyebrows. "Rave, what's up ?" Lily questioned, Raven pulled her out of her room as the began to walk down the corridor. "I heard what happened, are you alright." Raven said rubbing Lily's shoulder.
"No I'm not. Paige and Janson just threw my brother in the maze." Lily snapped Raven raised her eyebrows. "I know, I'm sorry. I don't understand why they sent him. Isn't your bro and Teresa Prince and Princess of WCKD." Raven said. "Prince and Princess... What am I then?" Lily asked raising her eyebrows
"The Queen obviously." Raven said nudging Lily. "Dr. Paige is The Queen."
"Dr Paige is the WCKD Witch in our story. See what I did there." Raven said smirking. Lily giggled smiling but stopped as two WCKD guards eerily walked past the two teens, eyes lingering on Lily. She gulped, Raven on the other hand cast them a deadly look. "Come on lets get something to eat in the canteen. I need to tell you something." She said. The two girls walked a little faster passing several guards, it was making Lily feel cautious.

Why where there so many?

As the duo entered the Canteen Lily was surprised to see so many workers and so many guards. "What the hell? Why are there so many guards and workers?" Lily asked. She began looking around while qued for her breakfast, getting a green apple, toast and coffee. Raven shot her a knowing look as she caught Lily's wonder, Lily tilted her head confused, she also wondered where the hell Teresa was. "I asked the workers to have our backs." Raven stated. Lily looked at the workers in their grey uniform, they seemed diffrent some on edge, some pissed, some hopeful. Lily looked at the guards, some faces where full of suprise, but most where stone faced, outraged by the workers.
"Well the guards look pissed. Security has been doubled hasn't't it." Lily said
"I know." Raven stated. "Big guy's looking for a mole." Janson! someone tricked rat man Janson?
"A mole?" Lily said curiously and motioned Raven to continue.
"Yeah they just found out someone passed information to a lab worker. He or she went on a mission to the scorch, now they're missing last seen heading north where mountains are trail went cold. They were planning doing that crank testing again." Lily's eyes widened spluttering on her coffee. "What."
"Yeah." Raven said taking a bite of her toast.
"And they've just realised they have a mole recently? After a month. Getting a bit rusty huh." Lily said smirking Raven laughed. "Yeah well, whoever the mole is or was, they weren't working alone if it was unnoticed for that long."
"I wish them luck." Lily smiled again, she kept it as a guard watched them across two tables Raven turned and scoffed. "You eavesdropping!" Raven yelled mockingly, Lily giggled seeing the guard walk away out of the canteen his body language screamed embarrassment. Even seeing some of the workers smirking. Raven turned back to Lily as Lily continued.
"Apparently to Tom, crank testing was forbidden on immunes, to risky. New method is it? No method the council come up with is remotely humane, not anymore. Clearly things are changing, my guess they are grabbing any straw they can find." Lily said sighing.
"Yeah, I mean I crashed into Teresa last week and told me your bro was on edge after your results came through."
"Which test was this? The Immune milestone one." Lily piped up whispering motioning Raven to be a little quieter, Raven nodded understanding.
"Teenage year testing. But yeah sounded something like that. Now you're the first on the list for the next crank testing, they'll put you in a room with a crank that's completely gone for 12 hours." Raven quietly said back.
"We need get out of here soon Rave."
"I know, I agree. But they are on high alert Lily. Most of the workers are against WCKD and are forced. I'm a worker, they tell me what they know and I put the pieces together. Including the reason why Thomas shredded your results. I didn't see what it said because he'd burnt them, now he's in the maze." Raven said.
"So I'm under suspicion, along with those unloyal." Lily said checking out all the guards cautiously
"Yes, but after Thomas it's mainly you they're keeping an eye on."
"So all the guards swarming is because the think I'm a mole or aiding one. I mean I understood Thomas's intensions find the cure save the world."
"What do we do which ever way you look at it we're both screwed?" Raven said putting her hands in her face huffing in defeat.
"No Raven. We make a plan and get the hell out of here." Lily said

He was suffocating and threw up a load of water, he felt like he was drowning, after a few minutes of that, he returned to his senses. He took a huge breathe and slowly composed himself. He felt around the darkness of the area he was in and backed up against the cold walls. It was a small confined area he was in and from what he could make out the room was in some sort of lift ascending up. But yet all he could see is darkness above, pitch black but a dash of red above, barely visible.
"Lily!" He didn't know where that name came from, but it certainly wasn't his. Lily was a girl's name but it was so very familiar. He tried to grab any memory he could, but it was all fading… but one name stuck. But he felt the urge to keep that to himself god knows where he was going where he would end up.

Tom

Thomas

Thomas is my name!

Two names he remembered his own and another.
Everything else was blank….

The lift suddenly jerked taking Thomas by surprise, throwing his body against the other side of the lift. The lift ascended faster and faster up making his body rise along with it. "Someone help!" Thomas screamed, he looked up seeing the red lights above getting brighter.

There was no opening above!
He was going to crash!

Suddenly the whole lift came to a sudden stop, jerking Thomas's body up so hard he had nearly hit the roof of the lift. Thomas groaned in pain, most likely getting some dark brown bruises tomorrow. A bright green light lit up from the left and glowed right into his face. Thomas took the chance to look around the room that was now visible. The room was full of supplies rope, books, food, water, clothes but all had the words WCKD written on them.
Thomas looked above as the metal doors from above were slowly unlocking themselves, revealing a blaze of sunlight from above. After so long in darkness, the light brutally stabbed his hazel eyes. Thomas winced and looked away, covering his face with both hands.
His eyes adjusted as a figure, a boy, jumped his way down to him shaking the lift he smelt of sweat and wood.
"Day one Greenie…Welcome to the Glade." Was all he said.

Where was he?

What was this place?

Why had he been sent here?
