Redemption: The Girl hidden within.
Hello! And I've got a new chapter up for you! So I am planning on this all taking place in the first movie or book. Whichever you want it to be. And this will be at least, 22 chapters.
So only 20 more to go!
A flash back...
Sakura was working in the office as an assistant to Thomas and all the others studying these kids.
"This one looks tough." Said one. They were looking at Gally who had volunteered to go in.
"Miss Sakura." It was the head. "Yes?" "Please help Thomas." She said. With a nod Sakura was off.
"Thomas?" She called. "Here." He smiled at her. "How's it going?" She asked.
"Not enough time. I wish we didn't have to send them all in." Thomas said.
"Did you talk to her?" Sakura asked. Referring to his own mother.
"Nothing yet. I sent her the latest information but she hasn't responded." Thomas said.
"I'm sure she'll send you something. Or me. I haven't got anything either. So how are the boys doing?" She asked.
Thomas walked and Sakura followed.
"Take a look." He said.
Sakura passed so many of the boys that were to go into the maze any month now.
"This one should be next. From what I'm told." He stopped at Chuck. Sakura stared at the small boy.
"I hate this." She said. "I hate that we send them in this maze just to help them survive. It feels like a prison or an exile." Sakura said.
"Don't worry. Will save them soon enough." Thomas said.
Back to the present...
It was night and Sakura could see the fire going as they beat Thomas down.
"Gally. You really are going to take it too far." She said to herself.
She watched for about another few minutes before someone came to give her food.
"Here you go!" It was Newt.
"Hang on." Sakura kicked down her ladder so he could get up.
"Thanks." She said taking the plate of food.
"Not a problem." Newt said sitting down.
"So? Does he remember yet?" She asked.
"Yes. Thomas. That's his name." Newt tells her. Sakura smiles. "Good. He can help out a lot more around here." Sakura said.
"He sure can." Newt said. "I'll be picking food soon from the garden. Want anything?" He asked before heading down.
"Grapes! You know how I love your grapes. And see if there's blueberries or strawberries. I do love berries." Sakura said with a happy smile. She was being her girly self by asking.
Newt laughed. "I'll try. See you in the morning." Newt said.
"Night!" Sakura said. She grabbed her blanket and wrapped it around her and looked off at the maze.
"I just wish one thing." She said.
"I wish we all were in a normal city living normal lives. Not surviving in this hell hole." She said.
"Me too." It was Gally.
"Just shut up!" Sakura said blushing.
"You cold?" He asked as he sat down.
"I'm fine." She said. A roar echoed through the night in the maze.
"I remember in mazes in children's books you had to make it to the center of the maze." Sakura spoke.
"Now it's us trying to get out." She finished.
Gally sighed. "Were in this mess of a life. We have to live to see it through." He said.
"I know. We-" Another roar came from the maze. It sounded so close. Sakura wanted to scream so badly that she wanted out of this place. She wanted W.I.C.K.E.D. to come and get her.
"Just a little longer." Gally said hugging her tight.
"Thanks. For cheering me up." Sakura said.
Gally nodded and headed back down.
As Sakura pulled up her ladder she drifted off to sleep.
In her dream...
"It's another one!" Someone shouted.
Sakura ran after the other people. She stood there at a monitor seeing one of the other mazes.
"Come on!" Some people were saying others were shouting "you can do it" and "come home to us!"
But every person in that maze died. By those creatures they had made.
It was dead silent.
"Well that's another one off the list." Someone said.
Another maze dead.
And in that Maze was... "Thomas!" Sakura shouted.
And this is where I leave it. I know I hate hangers too.
But I'll see you all soon! In the next chapter!
