Marie stared up at her father, her eyes wide in terror. She knew that she was in deep shit now, but she didn't regret what she had done. If given the chance, she would do everything exactly the same way.
Jansen's face was red with anger, the veins in his neck bulging. "Do you have any idea how close you came to ruining everything, you little bitch?!"
"What I came close to doing was saving a group of boys from being experimented on like lab rats." Marie responded coolly.
Smack! A red mark in the shape of a handprint appeared on Marie's cheek as Jansen smacked his daughter hard. "I did not raise you to be a disrespectful little brat! You like those boys so much? Very well then, you're going to join them."
Jansen grabbed her roughly by the arm, dragging her down the hall and into one of the laboratories. "But first, there's some things that need to be done so that you don't give anything away again." He pinned her down to the table as a scientist came forward, a syringe with a large needle in her hand. Marie tried to fight against her father, but it was no use, his grip on her was far too strong. Marie screamed as the needle was pushed into her skin, the serum that was inside the syringe injected into her bloodstream, causing Marie to cry in pain. Whatever it was hurt like hell, and her body writhed around on the bed.
"I really wish that we didn't have to do this." Jansen said with a sigh. "But you leave us with no choice. Now go to your room, tomorrow, you're being sent up to the Maze."
Every step hurt, but no one bothered to help her, another part of her punishment she supposed. On her way, she passed Teresa, and she growled at the girl. She was the reason why Marie's plan had failed, she had ratted her out to Jansen and Ava Paige.
"Marie-" Teresa started to say, but Marie shook her head. "I don't want to hear a damn word out of that mouth of yours Teresa. You ratted me out! How could you?!"
"Marie, you almost ruined everything that we have going here! As much as you may not want to believe it, what we're doing is for the greater good."
Marie scoffed as she shook her head. "Teresa, we're torturing and experimenting on innocent kids! How can that possibly be for the greater good?" She pushed past the girl, entering the little cell that she was supposed to call her room. She didn't know what would happen the next day. Tomorrow she would enter the Maze, tomorrow, everything would begin to change for her, in both good and bad ways.
A/N: Hi guys and thanks for reading! I know this prologue was a little bit short, but I promise that the other chapters will be longer. What do you guys think of Marie so far? What do you think is in store for her in the Maze?
