CHAPTER 2

"Wake up." The voice in her mind said. She obeyed. She only woke up to be surrounded by extremely tall, cold grey wall covered in places with thick ivy. She looked to beside her to see another girl her age. A little thin but tall and pretty."Help her up." It was the voice in her mind again. She took the girl's left arm around her shoulders and hefted her up. " Skye, get Lynn to the glade. You have to get us the required variables. Walk straight. Keep walking. Just do what I say."

"What in the world…?" Skye spoke aloud. The voice didn't respond. She shook her head. She must've been going crazy. What the hell was the Glade? The word sounded foreign to her. She racked her mind for memories, to come up with none. She kew absolutely nothing about herself, except for her name, which the voice had told her.

So, Skye is my name. She thought. And then a faint realisation hit her; a memory, surfacing from the depths of darkness that filled her mind. She looked down at Lynn. The unconscious girl leaning on her was her best friend and she had to get her to safety. Not having much choice she started walking straight, just as the voice in her head had instructed her.

She kept walking. Minutes turned into hours for her. She didn't face in danger. Yet. She was getting tired. Her feet felt as though they were melting right through her shoes. Her pace had become slower than before. Lynn wasn't very heavy, but Skye herself wasn't the biggest person to go around. Lynn was getting heavy for her to carry. The only thing that kept her going was the annoying voice in her head that kept telling her what to do. Suddenly, Lynn started panting heavily like she was the one carrying the both them for hours. She then started mumbling something unintelligible. Skye leaned forward to hear. "The flare….scorch…very dangerous…can't be solved, Skye…can't be solved…" Skye was now really confused. Lynn must've known her name. Her brain couldn't grasp and relate to anything she had just said. Ignoring Lynn, she turned left and to her uttermost delight, found that the corridor led to a place filled with beautiful grass.

At a distance she could also see a few a buildings. It wasn't the prettiest of places, but after trudging through the dull gray walls of this place, whatever it was, anything seemed like paradise to her.

She started to move forward but something cut through her shirt at the back and then, pain. Searing hot pain coursed through her entire being. She screamed. An extremely deafening scream. She turned around to see a bulbous creature staring down at Lynn and her. It was covered in slime and had spikes in place of arms. Not thinking about her next step, she turned and ran. Ran as fast as she could, towards the place in front of her. She was scared out of her wits. "HELP! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!" She screamed as loud as she could. She was almost there.

Almost Skye, almost, she encouraged herself. Then a loud boom sounded and the walls in front of her started moving closer. The very walls that separated her from safety. She instantly knew what was happening before her. The walls were closing to shut her in this crazy labyrinth. So she ran harder. It wasn't easy, with Lynn's weight slowing her down greatly. She squeezed in through the closing walls trying to keep Lynn and herself from squeezing to death. She managed to make it through, just as the walls shut, creating what she hoped was a strong barrier between the creature and herself.

Lynn and Skye tumbled onto the grass. They had left the danger behind. The voice in Skye's mind spoke up again. "Well done." It said. A few people had already noticed them and were running towards the girls. Lynn had still not stopped mumbling although she had fallen face down onto the grass. " What in the shuckin world?! How did you to shanks come here?!" A dark-skinned muscular boy exclaimed at Skye. " Well I'm pretty sure you saw us come from there, didn't you?" Skye said pointing at the walls being her.

Her vision had suddenly become really blurry. She was losing consciousness and a lot of blood. "Please, we need help." She pleaded the boys who stood in front of her.

"Med-Jacks! Someone get Clint and Jeff." Said a blond boy with a thick accent. Just then two boys, came running to the crowd. The shorter one out of the two leaned near Lynn and said, " Jeff, bandage the other one up and get her to the hut immediately. Newt can you please help me with this one."

"Can someone please explain this stuff going on here?!." The dark-skinned boy said looking flustered. "Alby! No one over here knows what's going here! Okay? Just keep a bloody cool head, will you?!" the blond boy-Newt- screamed at the dark-skinned one, who must've been Alby. Alby turned to the crowd and commanded the others back to their business.

Newt and Clint were now walking towards med-hut, leaving Jeff with the blondie to bandage her wound. She'd come to the med-hut once she could walk. The dark-haired girl kept mumbling things the boys couldn't understand. Clint gave Newt a look of exasperation. First they got two psycho girls who attacked them the moment they came out of the box. And almost immediately after that, they got two beat up girls, one who seemed to be half dead, and the other, completely jacked-up. Just as they were about to open the door to the hut, the girl's body became absolutely rigid. She stood without their support. Newt and Clint were so shocked, they didn't even back up, simply stared at her. A split second later her eyes flared open. She grabbed Newt's collar and pulled him closer to her, so close that their foreheads almost touched. Newt wanted to run away from the creepy girl, but she had an iron grip. She looked menacing right then. She moved closer, and

slowly whispered in his ear, " It can't be solved." She let out a chuckle, which made Newt's hair stand up on end. She pulled away slightly, so Newt could see her eyes. They were boring into his own. " You'll tell 'em, won't you?" She sneered. Newt wanted to shove her away from him but she spoke one more thing, which was far creepier than anything she'd said so far. She leaned in close once again and whispered "Newt."

With that, her eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she passed out in Newt's arms.
