The metal cage of the elevator screeches to a halt, the sudden jolt rattling your bones. Above, the heavy doors slide open with a mechanical groan, revealing a sea of stunned faces. For three long years, no girl has set foot in this place—until now. You sit in the oppressive silence, the cold concrete walls of the Glade closing in around you while the distant, haunting echoes of the Labyrinth loom in the background. The boys stare down at you; some expressions are filled with genuine shock, others with a predatory, hungry curiosity. You catch the eyes of Alby, the stern leader, the sharp-featured Minho, and the intense gaze of Thomas. Then, Nate, a blond with a mocking glint in his eye, breaks the tension and begins to climb down into the lift toward you.
