DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN BELLE AND A FEW OTHERS

Belle POV:

I woke up like I would on any other day except today wasn't any other day.

Today the sky was grey. Dull grey no blue or any sun.

Just grey.

Rachel was asleep next to me, I shook her awake I pushed her too hard and rolled over and she face planted in the dirt.

"Belle!" She said when she sat up spitting dirt out of her mouth

"Sorry, but look," I said pointing at the sky, she looked up and gasped

"What the..." She trailed off

"Rachel!" A voice called from further in the Woods. Rosa came out of the trees "time to run."

"We're still running?" Rachel asked

"Of course we are now come on," She said. Rachel stood. "Belle, Claire will be training you later to see if you're a Mapper." They walked off.

Claire was let out of her room so she trained me to see if I was a Mapper. It was just like the training in the boy Glade.

My mind often wondered to what Rachel had said the boy said

Triggered the Ending

What did that mean?

The day passed slowly but as soon as Rachel got back from running she dragged me into the Woods to where the two walls met.

"What's wrong, Rach?" I asked her as she sat me down. "Did you find something?"

"We saw a Griever," She said bluntly

"Are you ok? Were you Stung?" I asked

"I'm fine, it went off the Cliff, the Griever Hole."

"Rach, you're confusing me."

"Remember how we tricked the Griever's into going over the Cliff"

"Yeah, I remember, I don't see what this has to do anyth-" I started but she interrupted me

"We didn't trick them,"

"Do Sonya and Harriet know about this?" I asked but she ignored me "Rach?"

"He's talking again," She said

Vicky came running through the trees

"Vic, what's wrong?" Rachel asked but she seemed pretty shook up

"The boy' he's awake," She said then ran off again

Rachel threw the blanket over her head when a figure appeared I gasped.

It was the boy

His eyes were fixed on Rachel

"Forgetting you was the worst part." He said

Rachel lowered her blanket and I felt like I was interrupting a private moment I went to go walk away but Rachel grabbed my arm.

"Rach, do you really not remember me?" The boy said, I know Rachel told me what his name was but I couldn't think of it.

Aris

"You mean...you remember me?" Rachel said her face was unreadable

"Yes. No. Maybe," He rolled his eyes and scratched the back of his neck "It's...I can't...explain it, ya know."

Rachel opened her mouth but shut it when no words came out

"I remember remembering," he muttered sitting down opposite us with a heavy sign. He was only talking to Rachel, if she didn't have a grip on my arm I would've walked away. Aris continued to talk "Feelings. Emotions. Like I have all these shelves in my head for memories and faces, they're empty. As if everything before is just on the other side of a white curtain. Including you."

"But how do you know me?" Rachel asked her voice shaky

"I don't know. Something about us. Something about before we came to the Maze. Something about us. It's mainly empty like I said."

I zoned out then until I heard my name

"What?" I said in a daze

"Your the only one who knows about the Telepathy," Rachel said her voice went quieter

"Uh, yeah," I said and noticed Aris' sleeve was rolled up revealing the writing on his arm

WICKED is good

I was about to ask about it when Sonya came out of the trees

"How in the..." She said she was closely followed by Harriet and Claire and a few others I didn't know the names of. Sonya looked Aris then Rachel finally me. "How'd you get here? Doctor said you were there one second and gone the next."

Aris stood and looked at Florence who had turned away not making eye contact.

"Guess she forgot to mention the fact that I hit her with a pillow and climbed out the window," Aris said before looking back at Rachel he looked at me and cocked his head to the side as if realising something. "You're not supposed to be here," He whispered me and Sonya met eyes before turning her attention back to Aris about to say something but she was interrupted by Claire.

"I'm sick of this," She growled and pointed at Rachel. "I want to know who you are, who this stick boy is, and who you know each other." She turned her gaze to me "And why you're here because you're not supposed to be. I said it, the boy said it."

"Claire, I swear-" Rachel began

"She came straight to you two," She shouted

"He hasn't spoken to me," I said in a small voice. Claire scoffed

"So what? I do know him, he knows me - or we used to. I can't remember anything! Neither can he. Belle can't either."

Claire looked at Aris. "What did you do?"

Me and Rachel shared a confused look.

"What did you do?" She screamed. "First the sky, now this."

"What's wrong, Sonya?" I asked "What happened?"

"What happened? I'll tell ya what happened, stick. While these two were making lovey eyes and you were doing whatever you were doing to look around. Do you even know what time it is?"

Rachel looked down at her watch and her face paled and horror crossed her face

"The walls, the Doors. They didn't close tonight."

Panic flared through me. We had no protection, we were defenceless against the Grievers

"I want him locked up. Now. Kate! Helen! I want him in the Slammer," She pointed to me. "I don't want to hear a sound out of you or your joining him."

Two girls came and grabbed Aris

"And don't listen to a word he says," She growled

"How can you blame him for this?" Rachel asked

"How can we not?" Sonya said.

^0^

We spent the next thirty minutes preparing ourselves for the Grievers.

Since I didn't have a job I just helped whoever needed it, I started barricading the windows with the Builders. We were all going to sleep in the Homestead. After a while I saw Rachel run over to Sonya they had a short conversation before Rachel walked over to the Slammer. Probably going to see Aris

I was already inside when Sonya and Rachel walked in. I stayed upstirs the room I had been put in while Claire, Harriet, Sonya and Rachel had a conversation. I just wanted the night to be over with. I heard the door open and close.

After a few minutes Sonya and Rachel walked in.

"What happened?" I asked when Rachel sat next to me on the ground

"Claire is studying and watching the Maps tonight,"

"She left" I said in disbelief.

"Yeah," Rachel said lying down yesterday

I lay down next to her

"Belle, if your snoring gets the Grievers over here I will happily smother you with a pillow."

I laughed. "Thanks, I love you too, stick"

She laughed too elbowing me in the arm

We all voted Sonya should have the bed. Knifes were handed out but I didn't feel safe.

We finally settled down

I heard a few soft snores but I couldn't sleep. I heard Rachel roll from her from and back restlessly

After a few hours of this Rachel whispered

"I know you're awake,"

"What gave it away?" I whispered back

"We aren't all deafened by you snoring," She said. In normal circumstances I would laugh.

This was not normal circumstances.

We stayed silent then until

Everything changed
