I walked waving to some people as I passed by, I stumbled over a few rocks, I wasn't very focused on where I was placing my feet. I felt something hit my shoulder, I looked to my left, and it was person. A boy to be exact, he stumbled forward then fell, probably cause I bumped into him, I offered my hand,

"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" I asked as he took my hand and I pulled him up.
"Yea I'm okay." He said brushing his shoulders with his fingers, he looked up,
He had dirty blonde hair, darker than Ella's, it was spiked up, dark blue eyes, and his face was surprisingly clean. He wore a dirty baggy shirt and brownish pants, I noticed a a small hole in his arm.
"Hi, I'm Geo. Your-" He said extending his hand, I brushed my bang Outta my face behind my ear, I needed to redo my ponytail again.
I shook his hand.
"Mack. And your Geo?" He nodded and folded his arms,
"That's what I just said. And your Mack?" I nodded and folded my arms to Mimick him,
"That's what I just said. And why?"
He smirked and shook his head,

"It's nothing. You just look different then when you came out of the box. Um Have you seen Ella around?" I put my hands my hips,
"Not lately. Why haven't I seen you around? She told me about you, how your a Co-leader, and you were one of the first." He shrugged putting his hands into his pockets,

"I saw you come up in the box and...never mind. Where's Ella?" Did he not just hear me? Something just clicked in my brain...that hole.

"You got stung." I said blankly. He shrugged again,
"Yea, bout 6 months ago. I'm fine now." I nodded, I guess you could recover. But that means he was a runner...or...
"Did you break the rule? Or were you a runner?" He stared at the floor,

"Neither. I was stupid. The first night I went into the maze at night to see what would happen, got stung. Ella found me the next day, lucky for me."

"Do you...remember anything?" He looked up, with a dramatic look in his eye.
"Yes. I'm gonna walk away now, Cya later...Wicked woman."
He turned and walked off...Wicked woman. H-he remembered me...And I thought no one survived a night in the maze? Ugh. I would deal with him later. It was dark, the walls were closed, everyone was getting settled for bed. But not me, I had to get some thing done. I had to trigger my memory.
I opened the door to the medical building, Anna and Liz were both asleep, Rosie was monitoring them, I don't know where the Other Med-Jacks went, and why was Drew here? Rosie was next to Liz's bed and Drew was next too Anna's. Makes sense, Anna's stronger and more unstable...perfect. She was noticeably stronger when she attacked me the other day here, and noticeably faster. But I needed Liz if this was going to work, Rosie and Drew finally acknowledged my presence,

"Mack, what are you doing here? Get out!" Rosie Whisper shouted, Drew frowned,
"You should be asleep." I ignored them, I poked Anna in the eye, even though it wasn't open, 'Wake up' I thought, I continued to poke her face when Drew grabbed my wrist,
"Are you insane? She'll kill you!" I roled my eyes, everyone thinks I'm insane, probably because I am.
"Relax, I have an idea. Look it's a long story, but I need to fight her. And Liz too, to get some memories back." He didn't release my wrist,

"You seriously need some sleep." I jerked my wrist free.
"No I don't. Now just let me fight them YA dumb shank, and it will help us tremendously." He narrowed his bushy eyebrows,
"No way." I had to do this, I smacked Anna's forehead as she sprung up. Drew almost fell back in shock, earlier I had revived two hard leather finger glove type things. They help cushion your fall if you fall on your hands...or in this case, slap somebody. Anna didn't look at me, so I ran over and pushed Rosie out of the way and slapped Liz's leg, hard. She sprung up gripping her leg, by then Anna and Liz had known I was there. Great, I got close to the door,
"Anna, your so stupid! Seriously, what kind of runner can't run?! Or fight?! Seems pathetic! Liz, I'm glad your family's dead, I'm glad WICKED killed Rachel. YAll were a dumb family anyway." Rosie and Drew back into a corner, Anna and Liz breathed heavy, I needed them to chase me, I needed to use my fight skills and my intelligence. I guess that did the trick, they both hopped out of their beds and glared at me, shooting daggers at me with their eyes. And I ran out the door! I heard footsteps behind me, Time to get my memories back.
