I wait until I see the first ray of sunshine till I get up and wake the others.

I wake Newt first and tell him to wake everyone else up.

As I walk over to Thomas I see he's already awake and getting ready.

"You're already up." I say smiling softly. His head snaps up at my voice. He just looks at me and nods.

"Are you seriously mad at me again? Because I told you I could protect myself? That's not a good reason to be mad with me." I snap. The words just spilled out of my mouth, but Thomas looked hurt.

"I'm mad because you didn't let me protect you. You're my princess and I'm supposed to protect you." He said softly and I sigh.

"Tom, I'm not a princess. I can handle myself and I don't want to go into that maze and know that you're mad at me because I love you. And I hate it when you're mad at me." I say and he walks over to me.

"I love you too." He says softly before kissing me.

The feeling is unexplainable. Yeah we've kissed before but not like this. It's different.

Probably because we're going into the maze in a matter of minutes and we don't know if the other will come out alive.

I don't know or care about the reason. I just wrap my arms around his neck and hold onto him.

"Lovebirds! We have work to do!" Newt calls and we pull away gasping for air.

"I'll see you soon." Thomas whispers against my lips and I nod.

"See you soon." I say as he lets go of me and runs over to Newt.

I'm standing in front of the doors and I feel like we're all going off to war. I have little flashes of memory of battle and dying and war, and this is what I feel like it would be if I walked into it.

The pit in my stomach, feeling like I'm missing something that's crucial. Missing everything and all of a sudden I'm not ready to do this. I'm not ready to face the creators. I'm not ready to face them, get their reason for putting us in here, or just seeing them. I'm just not ready.

Thomas walks over to me and slips his hand into mine. "What are you thinking about?" He asks as he looks at the doors that still have not opened.

"Everything." I whisper and look down at our hands.

"Give me one example." He says and looks down at me.

"I'm not ready to face them. See them, talk to them, do anything with them. I don't want to see the creators." I say and he kisses my head.

"Amelia, this is what me need to do." He says in a whisper and I know he's right.

We need to do this, everyone has been going insane because we've been stuck in this glade. We need to get out.

Newt walks over to Thomas and I, both of us have fallen silent so he just looks at us.

"You two okay?" He asks us and both of us nod.

"Everyone is almost ready. You two need to get your weapons." Newt said and limped off.

I walk over to the table of weapons Minho had set up.

I sigh and pick up a bow and a quiver of arrows.

Thomas picks up a spear and a dagger. He looks at me but I looked at my weapons.

I put my quiver over my shoulder and look around.

So many boys going off to fight for something they didn't know the outcome of.

A lot of them won't even make it through the maze. I sigh and look over to the doors as they begin to open.

The sound echoes through the glade and everyone is on edge now.

There's no turning back once you get into that maze. You have to stay with your group and if you fall behind, no ones going to go back for you. You need to pull your own weight. That's what I'm scared for the most.

I still can't run for very long. I'm still healing and I'm going to try my hardest but I know I'm going to fall behind.

"Amelia, it's time we head out." Thomas says, he snaps me out of my phase and I nod stiffly m

He kisses my cheek and walks to the doors.

I take a deep breath and join the crowd of people.

"You going to be sticking with lover boy?" I hear Gally ask from my side and I roll my eyes.

"Shut up." I say softly and he looks at me.

"You'll survive, they need you alive." He says and walks slower so I have no time to question him as he disappears into the crowd.

I groan internally and walk up to Thomas at the front.

"You and Minho in the front. Newt and Clint are in the back." I explain and Thomas nods.

"Be safe." I say and he nods.

"I could say the same to you." He says and I smile a little.

"Just make it out alive." I say and they turn to the big group.

"So let's go." Newt says.

"Wouldn't someone give a pep talk or something?" Minho asks.

"If you're so bloody brilliant, then you do it." Newt says and everyone looks at Minho.

Minho nodded.

"Be careful, don't die." He says and I hear Newt scoff.

"Great, now we're all bloody inspired." Newt says and I hear some people fail at holding back a small laugh.

"Now can we get going?" Newt asks and no one objects so he turns to the maze.

"Stay close everyone." Minho says and runs into the maze with everyone following.
