Note from the Author: Thank you Navywife, Goddessnyte, and Roxhall for your reviews! I do have a Chilling Adventures of Sabring x Twilight Crossover planned. According to my calendar, it is slotted for June 2022. If I could share a picture of my spreadsheet with all the pending crossovers, you would think it's crazy because I have 32 pending crossovers, including the completion of this crossover. Next up, we'll have Walkers Unlimited, a TWD x Twilight crossover. Then we'll see Valiant, a Divergent x Twilight crossover. After the New Year, we'll see The Swan, an X-men x Twilight crossover and You're my Faerietale, a Grimm x Twilight crossover. I have a couple one-shots that will come out in between and will be posted over in the Twilight Chronicles, so keep an eye out for those! I enjoy writing, so please, you have requests, you can email me at xkisakex at gmail, or PM me here on fanfiction, or you can find me on discord at Kisake#0110. As always, I appreciate all of you! Don't forget to follow, favorite, and review.

The facility was large from the looks of it. Bella wasn't sure if they were headed to the right place, but she followed along, silently observing what was going on.

They were given clothes to wear, that was clean, and they were able to take showers, which was a huge deal because they were used to just rinsing off somewhat in the Glade. Once everyone was clean and dressed, they were ushered into a dining hall. There were others there, sitting at tables, eating, and talked to each other.

Bella sat down, Thomas with her, and then others from her maze. "I'm not sure I like this." She murmured lowly.

Thomas felt off about this too, but everyone else seemed to be eating, and not paying any f this any attention.

Suddenly, a man walked in. He had greying hair on the sides of his dark hair. His eyes a steel color and he wore facial hair, neatly trimmed. He was dressed nicely, a dark black overcoat, that looked like leather, that went down past his hips, and a grey turtleneck shirt, and dark pants. He was carrying a clip board in his hands. "I know there are some newcomers today. You're probably experiencing some uneasiness. You're not sure what has happened, or why it has happened to you. Rest assured, we have saved you from the people that tortured you for years, sending you to your deaths, and using you as lab rats in a maze."

Newt and Bella exchanged a look but didn't say anything.

"I am Janson. I only want to help. Please, make yourselves at home, we're here to help. You are safe from WICKED, and the flare, and the cranks beyond the compound." Janson said with a nod, and then he left.

Bella looked at Newt. "Something doesn't seem..."

Newt raised a brow. "You're skeptical?"

Thomas leaned in. "I'm skeptical too. It was too...timed. They got to us right when we managed to leave the maze?"

Jasper tilted his head. "You have a point. Stay alert."

Bella nodded her agreement. "Make sure the others stay alert too." she said, nodding to Frypan and Jake, who were looking relaxed now.

Later that evening, they were in a bunk area, and people were relaxing, resting from their long fight in the Glade. They were separate from the other gladers that came from separate mazes, and Bella wondered why that was like that. Thomas went to Bella, sitting next to her on her bunk and then put his arm around her, and she leaned in, against him.

"You're over here quiet." Thomas murmured softly.

"Yeah, just thinking about everything. Why did my mom say Wicked was good? It doesn't make any sense. I got some other flashes of memory earlier and when she sent me to the maze, she seemed hesitant, because Em was already there, and….I don't know. I didn't want to go in the maze either, but I also didn't want you to go either. She told me if I didn't go, then she was going to send you."

"So you went in my place." Thomas murmured.

Bella nodded. "In the video, she said to find my dad, but how am I supposed to find a man I don't remember?"

Thomas kissed her temple, and rubbed is hand down her arm. "I don't know, but we'll figure it out. I was talking to one of the other kids from the mazes. He was the only one to make it out apparently. He was the only boy in a maze full of women. He said that that Janson guy calls people each day, ones that are supposed to be sent to the safe haven that isn't here. Now, that sounds suspicious to me."

"That does sound suspicious." Bella murmured. "Did he say anything else?"

"He didn't get a chance, we got ushered back into here." Thomas said. "I say, we sleep, take a watch, and then tomorrow, we try to investigate more."

Bella nodded. "Yeah. Makes sense." She said and then whistled to Jasper, and he glanced over. He was just laying in his bunk throwing a ball he had brought with him from the maze that he carved a long time ago. He got up and walked over and leaned against the bunk with one arm, as he leaned his face down closer to Thomas and Bella.

"What's up?"

"Watches tonight?"

Jasper nodded. "Alright. I'll take first, Thomas, you want second?"

Thomas nodded. "See if Newt wants third, and Bells can do the last watch."

"Yeah. I don't trust this place." Bella said, looking around. Everything just looked too sterile.

Jasper agreed. "Yeah, I don't think that this place is what it seems. I got your back Bella, you know that."

"Thanks Jazz." Bella said with a smile, and then fist bumped him, and he went over to Newt who was sitting with Minho, talking about something.

Thomas looked at her. "Get rest, okay?" he kissed her softly on her cheek.

"Lay here with me?" Bella asked, and he nodded, and they shifted in the bed, and she curled against him, and he held her as she shut her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

[The Next Day]

The next day was much of the same of the previous day. They were just in a large common area. They mingled with others from the other mazes, and Thomas found the boy, who's name was apparently Aris. His hair was a dirty blonde, and his eyes a steel blue. He never smiled, but Bella hardly smiled either right now.

"You guys think the same way I do." Aris said lowly, his hands shoved in his pockets. "This place isn't saving us or helping us. I'll come to you tonight. Be waiting." He said and then he walked away.

Bella and Thomas exchanged a look and watched him walk away.

Janson appeared again, holding a clipboard. "Milly, Carl, Jimmy, Rebecca." He called. The people who were called seemed so excited, and the left with Janson.

Bella knew, at this point, that the people who were called, didn't come back. Aris had been here for a couple months now, and he's watched a lot of people leave, and he told Thomas this when they arrived. Frypan and Jake weren't on the same page as them, but the others were, and Bella knew that when the time came, that Jake and Frypan would eventually be too.

When night came again, they went back to their rooms. Bella paced back and forward, waiting on Aris to make an appearance.

"Bella, don't you think you're just being paranoid?" Frypan asked.

Bella looked at Frypan. "No, I'm not. This place…isn't real. I don't trust Janson. Why would he rescue us, and bring us here, only to send us to another place? Why not take all of us at one time? There are too many questions, and not enough answers."

"We just got here. Give it time. We'll find out everything." Jake said.

"Or, we'll get killed. Jake, I only want us to be safe."

"Right, sure." Jake rolled his eyes.

Bella frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that a lot of people died getting us out of that maze. Good people, and we were at least safe in the maze. When we tried to leave, that's when it all started going to shit."

"That's uncalled for." Minho said, his voice stern. "You ran that maze just like I did, with hope of getting out of that hell hole."

Jake snorted. "Because I thought that was what we were supposed to do. Jared died. He's not here anymore, and we've been saved from whatever hell we could have been facing with what they call the cranks, and let's not forget, a deadly virus."

"I don't think that Janson has good intentions." Bella said. "I-" She cut off when the grate under one of the bunks kicked open from the wall and Aris appeared.

"Come on. Thomas, Bella." He beckoned.

Bella and Thomas looked at each other, and then followed Aris, under the bed into the vent.

Jake stared open mouthed. "Are you serious? Is she trying to get us all killed?"

Jasper closed the grate back and then slid back out from under the bed. "Remain calm. Let them do their recon, act normal, and let's keep our voices down. Bella has always knows what she's doing. Don't lose faith in her now. I lost people too Jake. But I understand the importance of what our mission was to escape the maze, and I understand the importance of sticking together, and following Bella, which is what Alby wanted. What I want, and-"

"What I want too." Minho spoke up. "I'll follow Bella any day, all day."

Sonya and Rosalie nodded their agreement, and so did Alice, and Newt. The only one quiet through all of this was Teresa. She wasn't sure what to believe right now. She had more of her memories from before, and she felt differently than Bella and Thomas did about the whole ordeal.

Bella and Thomas stayed with Aris, crawling through the vents, until they came over a room, and they watched through the tiny slats. Her eyes got wide as she looked at the face of her mother, who was clearly alive and well. She didn't really shoot herself, and that this was still all just a game. She stayed quiet as she listened to her mother talk to Janson.

"The experiments are going well?" Esme asked Janson.

"So far. We've been able to harvest excellent brain tissue, but so far, we haven't figured out more. I still don't have a location on the Right Arm, either, or your husband." Janson reported.

Esme sighed. "Okay. Well, we'll just have to keep looking. He's blinded by his morals. Keep working, and remember, don't use Alice or Bella. They're off limits."

"I understand." Janson said with a nod.

Bella felt a couple tears prick, but she refused to cry for that woman. She turned with Thomas and Aris, and they went back through the vents and back to the where the sleeping quarters were.

They exploded out of the vents, and Bella got to her feet.

"It's all a lie. My mother is still alive, and they're doing experiments on the ones they're calling back. They're harvesting brain tissue, for whatever project they're working on." Bella explained quickly.

Jake frowned. "You're sure?"

"Yes Jake, I'm sure. I saw her with my own two eyes. We can't stay here. We have to get out of here, find the Right Arm. I'm pretty sure that-"

"The Right Arm is a resistance group. They are people that have been resisting the experiments Wicked has been doing for years, and I have heard other guards saying that they made it to the last two mazes before you guys, before they did and rescued more of the kids." Aris explained.

Bella looked at Thomas and then she looked at everyone else. "We're not safe here. We leave first light. Be ready."

Everyone was on the same page now. Jake and Frypan quickly changing their minds about this horrid place.
