Tomorrow Will Be Kinder (The Maze Runner)

Welcome to the Glade

Question: Who do you think should play Winry? I'm leaning towards Skai Jackson. Remember she has to be young. Who do you think?

Alright you guys. This would probably have been up earlier if it wasn't how I didn't know when to introduce her. I wanted her to come in around Thomas-Greenie time but I couldn't decide when so I could have the best possible story. So I've decided...

I'm gonna wing it.

~Third Person's POV~

There was a little girl, not even 12, asleep in a metal grated elevator. There was no light. And the only sound was her and her companion's breathing that was almost unhearable from the lift's noises. Her companion was a german shepherd, nearly 5 years old. She was using him as her teddy bear and pillow. She had her face buried in his belly fur, one of her hands fisted in the dog's fur next to her nose. Her protector was also sleeping with her, his body curled around the child.

The elevator comes to a halt and light floods in from above. The dog instantly awakens and looks up into the faces of young boys.

"What the shuck?"

"Another one?"

"No doubt Thomas has something to do with it."

"Two in one day?"

"It's not even the right time either!"

"They're sending children now?" (A/N: Yes. Like the Hunger Games. :P)

"And they sent a little girl at that!"

A blonde, lanky Britain jumps down into the elevator. The german shepherd starts growling softly, protective of the child. He puts his hands up, showing he was harmless. He takes a step towards the duo and the guardian angel growls louder, fur starting to stand on end. He didn't move though, not wanting to wake up his companion. The boy stops and looks up at the curious faces of the boys, squinting from the sunlight.

"Alby! I may need a little help here!"

A dark-skinned older boy leaps into the lift. The dog stops growling immediately and his ears perk up, tilting his head to the side. In fact, he actually started panting and his tail made a thumping sound against the floor as he wagged it. He seemed very happy to see the teenager. The Britain steps forward, thinking it was safe. The german shepherd changes moods drastically and growls once again.

"Heal." The 2nd boy commands and the dog obeys. The 1st boy carefully steps closer to the guard dog and his friend. He gently grabs a hold of the girl and picks her up bridal style. With her face not hidden in dog fur he could see her face clearly.

She was dark-skinned like the 2nd boy with tight curls that fell to just above her shoulders. She had a cute little button nose and long lashes framing her eyes. Her height wasn't even 5" foot. She was wearing jean overalls with a pocket on her left breast. She had a yellow and blue plaid shirt under her overalls, with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She had a bright yellow ribbon tied into a bow in her hair. She had yellow rubber rain boots with black laces. She looks familiar but the teen pushed it aside to think of more important things.

Like the fact that the Creators sent a 12 year old little girl to the Glade! To the Maze!

He raised the little girl up towards the boys above the elevator. A boy with a stern expression on his face leaned over to grab her. (A/N: Hint: He apparently has a potato nose or some rather exquisite eyebrows)

The teen gently lays the child on the green grass, all of the boys stare down at her completely silent. Until one guy decided to ask a question that sent everything into chaos.

"Is she dead?"

Yelling starts up, denying or agreeing. One of the boys, a lanky fellow who was completely silent until now, decides to speak up.

"Hey, what's that in her hand?"

The 1st dark-skinned boy, who had gotten out of the box during all the yelling, bent down and peeled open her hand to see a crumpled piece of paper. He gently takes it from her and flatens it out. He stares at it confused and flips it over then back over again, frustrated.

"What does it say, Alby?" A much younger boy with a mop of curly hair and freckles asked anxiously.

"Nothing."

"'Nothing'? What do you mean 'Nothing'?" The boy who carried the young girl out of the box asks annoyed.

"Exactly that. It's nothing. It's just a blank sheet of paper."

Whispers started up and the now-named Alby stares down at the young girl. She seems familiar.... The more he looked at her the more he felt nostaglic. He looks up to a lanky burnette, a newbie.

"Greenie, do you know her?"

The silent 'greenie' speaks up for the first time with a shake of a head and "No."

Alby scowls and looks back down to the newest member of the Glade. She looked a bit pale. The dark-skinned leader puts a finger under her nose but doesn't feel any exhale coming out. A little nervous now, he places his head on her chest for a heartbeat that he couldn't hear due to the other boys gossiping around him. He looks up and glares.

"QUIET!" Silence fell across the field and he laid his head back down on her chest. Alrght, now he was scared.

"I can't hear an-"

And that was the moment that the young child decided to wake up, bolting up right and gasping for breath.

So I hope you liked it. You know what to do. (Maybe)
