Chapter 1: The Beginning

~To them, she was one of the most important Variables. To him, she was something so much more.~

Thrust into a new world without any memories, Clara was lost amongst the boys in the Glade. Nothing made sense - why she was the only girl, the others' precaution towards entering something called "the Maze", nor the looks she kept receiving from one of the Keepers. None of the puzzle pieces were fitting together, becoming an equation she just couldn't solve. Especially with the largest key printed on her back.
