Chapter 2

Natalie woke up earlier then usual the next morning to the sound of Janson banging from the other end of the door.

Rubbing her eyes, she let out a small yawn before climbing off of her bed and walking over to the door. She pulled the door open to see her dad standing in the middle of the hall with a file in his right hand.

Without speaking he aggressively stormed past her and into the room, slightly crumbling the paper in his hand. Natalie started to panic. Thinking he knew what she did last night.

"Natalie we will have to bring the kids back here as soon as possible. I want you no where near them, even Aris" he told her giving her a slight look of guilt. But it immediately faded and turned back to his usual aggressive expression.

She stood there in her pyjamas just staring down at the ground in disbelief. "How could he let me not see my own brother!"

"We will still be testing them here, I don't want you going anywhere near floor E" he added walking back over to the door.

She couldn't form a single word to respond to him with, she just stood there processing everything.

***

She couldn't work properly the entire day. Watching her brother on the screen knowing when he came back she wouldn't be able to see him, she broke down. Tears fell from her eyes down her cheeks and splashed onto the table below her.

She never understood why her dad would put her through this. Aris would be in the same building as her and yet he wouldn't allow them to see each other. "I have to get out of here. I have to get him before they do."

Sitting watching the screen she made a plan in her head about how she would get to him. She would leave late tonight and take one of the cars out to the mountains to find the right arm. Of course she would take out the tracker inside of it.

Lost in thought she never realised what was happening on the screen in front of her. Once she came to she was mortified, men stormed through the maze walls and rounded up a bunch of kids. Her brother being one of them.

"Dan go get my Dad!" She demanded, he immediately jumped up and ran out of the room towards Jansons office.

She watched as the masked figures guided the kids through the maze, usually they wouldn't stand a chance against the grievers but these people had guns.

"What the hell is going on here!" Beamed Jansons voice from behind Natalie, she spun around to see him leaning over her looking at the screen.

"Why are you just standing there! Get people out there!" He screamed back at the workers standing around in pure shock.

"They have to be the right arm, I have to figure out where they go" Natalie thought as the gears turned in her mind trying to figure out a plan.

She decided to stick to her previous plan and continued watching the screen. Wickeds men stormed through the building of maze B cutting them off in their tracks. Many gun shots later and the masked people from the right arm took off with only 2 of the girls from the maze.

Natalie was over the moon that her brother was safe, but she couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if they had taken Aris. "Where would they take him? Would I ever see him again?"

***

Once everything calmed down Janson ordered his men to bring the rest of the others from the different mazes back to where he was. He wasn't letting anyone else get taken. He wanted a cure.

But his daughter wanted a proper life. Not watching all her friends die.

Natalie packed a small bag with essentials she thought she would need, clothes, water, food. Once she made sure everyone was asleep she creeped out to the car park of the building.

Once at a car she pulled out a set of keys she had previously stole from Jansons office and unlocked it. She climbed into the divers seat and immediately searched for the tracker, she found it inside the radio and pried it out with her fingers. Disabling it.

She gripped hold of the steering wheel debating on wether or not this was a good idea. But she realised she wasn't doing this for just her, she was doing it for her brother, for all the kids that wicked had taken.

She was going to save them.

She started the car and made her way through the car park and out of the building. The tires never worked the best on the sand but it would have to do till she got to a road.

She didn't once look back. She would miss her dad, but she was never like him. She didn't want to torture innocent kids all because they were different. Sure it was for a cure but they never deserved it.

She felt guilty for being immune and not being tortured.

She knew exactly what she was going to do when she found the right arm, she was going to help them get out as many kids as possible.

For some reason she wanted to start with maze A. Mainly because of Newt. She didn't want to keep him in there any longer knowing he wasn't happy. No one was happy to be in the maze, but he was the only one she knew that had lasted this long being so unhappy.
