WCKD - 10:33 PM
Avery leans against the wall and lets herself fall to the floor. It's cold. Her stomach starts making noises again. She hasn't had a full meal in a long time. WCKD keeps most of its food to themselves. They ruin lives. They want a cure and they're determined to get it. There is no cure, they have to realize that at some point. She bets even an ant can figure that out.
She escaped her maze with eight others. All of them are gone. WCKD killed them in front of her. They said they needed to see how she'd react. They killed them just to test something. She swore that she was going to kill them. She will kill Janson and take down WCKD. She will take her revenge. Maybe not today, not tomorrow, not the day after, but she will. Even if it's whilst taking her last breath.
She feels the urge to start crying again. She doesn't cry, she won't cry. She can't be weak, she thinks to herself.
Her cell has three beds, but she's all by herself. She had a roommate in her first week. She doesn't know what happened to them. They got taken away, like every other day. Only that day, they didn't come back.
The cell door opens. She doesn't bother to lift her head out of her hands, used to guards coming in and out at random times. A thud echoes through the small cell, right before the door closes with a loud shriek.
"Shuck you, Janson!" A male voice yells. She looks up. Not a guard, apparently. He turns to look around and spots her. The girl thinks he's going to be here for a while. He looks tough. WCKD likes to toy with tough people.
"What bed to I take?" he asks, after a while. She doesn't talk, she's stopped ever since her friends were killed. She doesn't move for a second before making a gesture that the bed on the left is the best. It's in the corner. He nods slightly before sitting down on top of the bed.
"Thanks..." He mumbles. A slightly awkward silence welcomes the two teens. The girl lays back down and closes her eyes. She turns away from him and tries to sleep. For so many reasons, she can't.
WCKD - 5:56 AM
The girl wakes up before the guy does. Sometimes she wakes up because of the guards. They open the door loudly and don't give you time to wake up, so she makes sure she's awake before they arrive. If you're not awake early enough, you don't have time to eat. She's had that happen to her plenty of times. She contemplates waking up the boy. After Arguing with herself for a minute, she decides to wake him up somehow. She stands up, grabs the pillow from the unoccupied bed, and throws it at the boy. Might not have been the best way, she realizes, but she won't talk. It's waking him up, so it's fine.
He groans in response. Doesn't like getting up either. He turns around and sits up. He frowns, wondering why she woke him. The door shrieks as it's opened. A guard puts two plates onto the floor and walks away, meaning it's around 6:30 AM. She points at the plates. She grabs the plate and eats it. It's a piece of bread with a small cup of weird soup and a small glass of water.
The boy gets off his bed and grabs the other plate.
"I'm Minho." The guy says. She doesn't reply. "You don't talk?"
Once again, she doesn't reply.
"Thanks for waking me up," he says. Avery shrugs. Once she's done eating, she puts her plate onto the floor, next to the door. The guards will get mad if they have to come in to get the plates from next to the beds. Minho follows her example.
