Escaping The Maze (Newt x Reader)

Part 4: The Glade🌳

Recap: I clamber out and into the glade.

I stand up on wobbly legs. I see Minho start to gently pull Taylor up too. "Be careful with her!", I holler. He just looks at me like I'm stupid. That shuckface. Then, I hear the compliments, cat calls and wolf whistles. I turn red as I hear gladers call me hot or pretty or call dibs on me. Then, I decide to try running. I look for a way to go and choose a forest. I dart for it, pushing through the crowd of boys. Suddenly, all the sounds fade, all the voices and noises fade away. All I hear was the wind wooshing past my ears and panting of my breath and it felt like I was the only person in the world. This was all so natural to me. The adrenaline in my blood caused my legs to pump faster as I pull for the forest. But, a single sound slips through and I hear someone call out "We've gotta runner!!!!", and a whole bunch of cheering. Runner? What the hell is a runner? I think to myself. It kinda slows me for a second and someone tackles me from behind. It was Minho. The asian grabs me by the wrist and tackles me. We fall to the ground and all the sounds come back. I felt a pain in my ankle and realized it hit a sharp rock when we fell. I wince as I slide out from a fallen Minho and stand up. I look around, wondering what to do when I see all the boys coming towards me. Just great! What's gonna happen now!? I think to myself and sigh. Minho stands up and pulls me back to the boys. Then, I notice how pretty the glade was. It was a massive green field, it was filled with a forest in one corner, a pond with daisys, sunflowers and cat tails in the other corner, a group of huts sit on the other half of the glade. A big tree was in the middle. Then, there was the box and the bonfire place. But, Alby recked the moment by but yelling at me. Wait! How did I know his name? I guess that memory thing is working. "What the hell were you thinking? What is wrong with you greenie! Thinking of running off like that! You could've killed yourself!" He scoulds me like a small child. I mean I kinda looked like one next to the big, tall muscly boys. But, I was a fighter. "I was scared, I wanted calm for a moment, I wasn't gonna die for god sake! And my names Adelaide NOT greenie!" I snap back. Everyone looked surprised at my additude. "Ok, I guess that's fair miss Adelaide but, you still get the slammer for 5 hours for running off." He turns on his heels, demands Newt to put me in the slammer and walks off to homestead. I roll my eyes amd Newt takes my hand. "Welcome Home.", his chocolate brown orbs were scanning my face. "Thanks." I reply stupidly. Wow Adelaide! Smart, you probably just ruined you chance! I mentally scould myself. Newt nodds, gives me a small smile and says one more thing but sweet this time. "Well Love, let's get you to the slammer with some stew and water!" He flashes me a charming grin and I laugh at his enthusiasm. He gives me the one second sign and I stand there as he runs off quickly. He comes back with a steaming bowl and a cup of water. We walk to the slammer, hand in hand while I carry the bowl and he carries the water. He lets go of my hand when we arrive, hands me the water, opens the door, takes the food from me and helps me slide into the slammer. My feet barely touch the ground as I was short.  I jump down and he hands me the stuff. I take it and plop down to eat. I was STARVING. I start to eat when he closes the door, locks it and looks down at me.

Newt's POV
Wow she is so pretty when she eats! Newt shut up! You have a girlfriend! But.. you hate Isabella. And you guys were together before the maze I think so.. oh well I'll figure this out later! I argue with myself in my mind. I really did not like Isabella and there was something about Adelaide. The way her brown hair framed her face and the cute way she would brush it away when it got in her eyes.  And oh her eyes! They were such a deep brown! And they glittered with happiness and light even though we were stuck in this hellhole! Oh well, I'll deal with this later. "I'll see you later love! I'll be back in 5 hours to get you out!" She looks up at me, a smile on her face and a mouth full of food. I laughed. She nodded, still smiling and returned to eating. I stood up and walked away, thinking of how bloody pretty she was..
End Pov

I shove food into my face and chug the water. That was delicious! Then, I rest my head on a little dirt mountain I made and drifted off to sleep.
