Sonya's P.O.V

This had to be an illusion. Lynn was dead. This is a ghost. This isn't real.

"Sonya?" Harriet came behind the startled blonde, resting a hand on her shoulder. "What's goin-" The dark-skinned cut herself off at the sight of the familiar British girl in of them.

Lynn was just the way she had been when she was in the Glade. The same orange shirt, same brown shorts, same white hoodie. Her dark-blonde locks swept up into a ponytail. But, Lynn was dead. Lynn had gone into the Maze and never came back.

"Sony? Harriet?" A smile spread across the shorter girl's face as she spoke.

Within seconds, Sonya gathered her second-in-command in her arms, crying softly into her friends hair.

"I missed you." Sonya whispered, squeezing Lynn tighter. "We thought you were dead."

Lynn's P.O.V

They thought she was dead. Well, what else would you expect when you go into the Maze and don't come back? Lynn could feel Sonya's tears drop onto the top of her head, dampening her hair. She patted her friend's back, resting her forehead on Sonya's shoulder.

"I missed you too, Sony." Lynn said.

Sonya pulled away from Lynn, holding the young girl at arms length.

"Where have you been, stick? Did the Creators take you away? What happened?"

Lynn let out a short laugh, "It's a long story." Said she, rubbing the back of her neck. Sonya nodded, before turning to the girls that were standing behind her. A huge smile was stuck on her face as she said.

"Guess what, sticks?!" Sonya shouted, she pulled Lynn out from the room. "Lynn's back!"

They had managed to get all twenty-two girls, including Lynn, into Lynn's room. She had met Teresa, who was already annoying her, and was told of Aris and Rachel.

Aris was what Lily called 'Coma Boy', he was sent up in the Newbie Box a day after Rachel. Who came up one week after Lynn vanished into the Maze. Along with Rachel came Teresa. Teresa was a black-haired, blue-eyed, annoying girl that was almost twice as tall as Lynn. She tended to be bossy and snarky, telling everybody what to do even though she wasn't the leader.

Rachel had been killed by Beth when everyone got into the same chamber that Lynn and boys were in when Chuck was killed. Beth had went into the Maze, like Gally, and came back telling all of them that Greviers were going to take them one a night. So basically, Beth was the girl version of Gally in Lynn's eyes.

While Lily, Sonya, and Harriet were explaining to her what had happened after her supposed 'death', Lynn's mind drifted to Newt, Thomas, Minho, and all the other Gladers. Were they safe? Were they with this Aris kid?

Then Lynn was asked the question she dreaded hearing. What had happened to her when she disappeared into Maze? Well, Lynn explained everything. From her showing up with all the boys, finding out Newt was her brother, Thomas' arrival, her, Minho, and Thomas staying overnight in the Maze. Everything.

By the time she was done talking, everyone looked at her in shock (except Teresa, she was still trying to absorb the fact that Lynn was with Thomas and she wasn't.)

Just as Sonya was about to say something, Charlotte had cut her off before a word could even come out of her mouth.

"What's on the back of your neck?" The little girl hopped down from Harriet's lap and jumped up on the bed Lynn and Sonya were sitting on. Charlotte pulled on the back of Lynn's orange shirt, getting a better look.

"What is it Char?" Lynn asked, holding her ponytail to the side. Lily came behind Charlotte, resting a hand on the little girl's shoulder, peering down on Lynn's neck.

"It's a tattoo." Lily said, helping Charlotte off the bed. Lynn's eyes widened, she took off towards the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Turning around, she pulled her shirt, trying to get a good look. She could hear the rumbling of the other girls' voices as they were looking to see if they had tattoos as well.

On the back of Lynn's neck, it read;

Property of WICKED. Group B, Subject B5. The Guardian.

I'm back! How have you guys been? I know this chapter is shorter than most, but I really wanted to get the beginning of the Scorch Trials moving before I dive in. So, what do you think of Lynn's tattoo. I came up with it when I was on a phone call with my friend Ilana. I do apologize for the poor quality of this chapter, like I said, I really wanted to get the story moving.

I would like to thank disiais, booksarefun2274, and ashleydiana105 for following the story. It means a lot to me that people are still following my story even after my long break.

Also, thank mxdnxghtlxve, Le me, Anonymous, and Embers to Ashes for leaving wonderful comments.

See you all next time!
