Minho, Thomas, and I walk into a hut, and I see a white sheet of some sort on top of a table, almost like it's covering something.
I look around to see a bunch of pieces of wood with carvings on them.
Minho yanks off the sheet to reveal a replica of the maze on the table.
"It's the maze. All of it", Minho sighs.
"What do you mean "all of it"? I thought you were still mapping it", Thomas asks.
"There's nothing left to map. I've run every inch of it myself. Every cycle. Every pattern. If there was a way out, we would have found it by now", Minho says.
"Why haven't you told anyone this", I question.
"It was Alby's call. People needed to believe we had a chance of getting out. But maybe now, we have a real chance", Minho sighs, looking at us.
He hands Thomas the device, before speaking again.
"Take a look at this. About a year ago, we started exploring these outer sections. We found these numbers printed on the walls. Sections 1 through 8. See, the way it works, is every night, when the maze changes, it opens up a new section. So today, section 6 was open. Tomorrow, it will be 4, then 8, then 3. The pattern always stays the same", Minho explains.
"What's so special about 7", I ask.
"I don't know. But last night, when you killed that griever, section 7 was open. I think it must be where it comes from. Tomorrow, us three are gonna take a closer look", Minho says.
All of a sudden I hear guys running to the hut.
"What are you guys doing? You're not allowed in here", Minho asks.
"Sorry, it's just the, uh... It's the girl", Jeff sighs.
"What? Is she wake", Thomas asks.
"You could say that."
*Back at the Glade*
We make it back to the glade, we run over to Chuck to see him laughing. "Chuck, what's going on", I ask.
"Girls are awesome", Chuck replies, pointing towards the tower.
I see things flying off the tower down at the boys below.
"You got that right", I say, before running over to the tower.
"Hey, throw one more of those things... Ow!"
"Go away!"
"We come in peace!"
"What happened", I ask.
"Just duck", Frypan replies.
"I don't think she likes us very much", Newt replies.
"What do you want from me?"
"We just wanna talk", I say, making her stop throwing things.
She slowly looks over to see me.
"It's Bella."
"And Thomas", Thomas adds.
"We're gonna come up, okay", I say, before slowly walking over to the ladder and climbing up it.
I push open the hatch to see her pointing a long knife at me.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, it's just me and Thomas", I say, climbing up with him following me.
"Where I am? What is this place? Why can't I remember anything?"
"This is all normal. Okay? We've all been through this", I say, as we sit across from her.
"Your name will come back to you in a couple days", Thomas says.
"It's one thing that..."
"Teresa", She says.
"What did you say", Thomas asks.
"My name. It's Teresa."
"Okay. Teresa, I'm Bella. This is Thomas", I say.
"But you already knew that, though, I guess, huh", Thomas says.
"They said I kept saying your names in my sleep", Teresa admits. "Who are you two?"
"I don't know", Thomas admits.
"I don't either..."
"I can't remember. None of us here can remember anything. We all woke up here just like you did. Hey.. I promise..", Thomas says.
I slowly take the knife from her, tossing it aside.
"What's going on up there", Gally asks.
Thomas and I stand up, looking down at them.
"Is she coming down?"
"Um..."
We glance at her, before I speak.
"Hey, listen, you guys just give us a second, okay?"
"All right", Newt says, gesturing everyone away.
