Prolougue

Facing the trials is the hardest thing Natalia and her friends have ever been put through, that they can remember anyway. First it's the Maze, then the Scorch, and lastly they get put in individual rooms that they have no contact with anybody in. Natalia loses so many of her loved ones, including her brother who she finds out has the flare. She makes friends and enemies, but some enemies turned out to be not so bad after all, when a few friends turned out to be enemies. Natalia has herself to hate, for keeping the trials going on an basically killing the ones she loves. But also to thank, for getting her closer to her boyfriend, Nick, and best friend, Rachel. In the end, she may lose everything and everyone she loved.
