The Maze Wolf

And the Newtmas begins

Newts POV
~Newts day part 1

After saying bye to Minho, Sam and Luna, I decide to go to the kitchen.
Maybe Frypans there and can make me breakfast...
I walk into the kitchen and luckily Frypans there.
"Hey Fry, what's for breakfast?" I ask leaning on the bench
"Hey Newt, well we got bacon and eggs or eggs and bacon..." He jokes
"Great... Ahh need any help?" I offer
"Ahh yeah... You can cook the eggs" he says and throws me a frying pan
I put the pan on the stove and turn it on.
I grab a carton of eggs out.
I place them on the bench and crack one open.
It sizzles as I spin it around the pan.
I think about Luna.
If she was here she would probably steal the eggs and throw them at me when I'm not watching...
And Minho would join in too.
We would end up having a big egg fight...
Kinda like the water fight last night...
Man that was fun I've never been so happy or had as much fun before...
When the egg's done I put it on a plate and start the next one.
I help Frypan in the kitchen for about half an hour.
"Thanks Newt, you've been a real help... Have a piece of bacon" Frypan throws me a piece of bacon
"Thanks Fry, I'll catch ya later" I say as I walk out the kitchen taking a bite of the bacon
I walk back out into the glade eating my bacon.
'This bacons not all that bad actually...
I know who would like the bacon...
Luna...
But she's not here...she's out in the maze.
With...Sam'
I let out a sigh and walk off towards the gardens.
Since there's nothing for me to do I'll just help out...
"Hey Zart, need any help?" I ask
"Ahh yeah you can help cut that stump down, Gally needs it for something..." He says pointing to the stump
"Good that" I reply simply
I walk over to the stump.
I grab out my machete and begin to chop it down.
After a few hits I look at the trunk of the tree from the stump I'm cutting down.
Man I wish Luna was here..
I can imagine her right in front of me...
If she was here she would probably just be lying around on the grass complaining how hot it is while I'm working my tail off...
She will be talking about random thinks and telling jokes....
She would beg to play fetch and beg for cuddles....
Then Minho will join us and he will just sit next to her joke around and talk to us, we are the best of friends...
Nobody can change our friendship...
I smile at my thoughts of Luna and Minho...
Then get disturbed at the thought of Sam...
Wait that was rude... Not disturbed but interrupted...
She's just so bloody clingy and tries so hard to be with me.
I know Luna gets a bit jealous but tries not to show it.
But no one can stop me loving Luna... No one!
I shake my head and continue my work...
But just as I'm about to start chopping again the greenie alarm goes off...
Wait the greenie alarm!? we just had two, now another?
"What now!?" I yell at no one
I stick the machete into the stump and run off towards the box.
Everyone starts running over to the box.
By the time I get there the whole glades gathered around.
"Make way!" I call out
Everyone moves out of my way and creates a path for me.
I walk down to the front and stand next to Gally
"What do you think it's gonna be?" Gally asks arms folded
"Dunno.." I reply looking down at the box waiting for it to stop
"Well I hope it's a guy... I can't stand anymore girls..." He complains
I chuckle and run my hands through my hair.
The box stops with a loud metal on metal noise.
"Gally give me a hand" I say walking to the side of the box to open it
Gally helps me and the box opens I jump inside.
There's a boy in a lump in the corner.
I approach him and crouch in front of him.
"Names Newt greenie" I welcome him
"And this is the glade...do you remember your name?" I ask
He just looks up at me and shrugs.
"Well then... Have you got a knife or somethin' back there by any chance?" I ask
Aware of what happened last time with a new greenie.
"No why?" He asks simply
"Cos last time the greenie would've killed me if it wasn't for Luna.." I chuckle
"Who's Luna?" He asks quietly
"Oh ...um ...well she's a wolf and she's ...um ...out for a run" I explain
"Oh" he says looking down
"Well let's get out of this bloody box and I'll give ya the tour" I say standing up
I hop out of the box followed by the greenie.
Everyone starts complaining about how it's not another girl.
"Slim it shanks!" I call out over the top
Gally just shakes his head and smiles.
"Alright get back to bloody work!" I order
Everyone starts walking off murmuring to one another.
I catch a glimpse of Chuck walking off.
"Hey Chuck!" I call out
He turns around and looks at us.
"Com'ere" I wave my hand over to us
He waddles over and looks up at the greenie.
"Take Greenbean here to where he's gonna sleep then bring him back to the gardens in 10 minutes" I explain
I ruffle up his hair and walk off.
Since there was no supplies I don't have to do anything.
I walk over to the kitchen to grab lunch for the greenie and I.
A ham and cheese sandwich... The usual..
I grab extra apples and two tin cups of water.
I sit on the log by the stump I was chopping up.
I throw my apple in the air and catch it multiple times waiting for the greenie to come back...
I sit there as I throw the apple thinking about what would Luna do...
What will Luna do?
I would probably throw the apple and she would try to catch it but fail...
Then I would tease her and steal her apple...
Then she would steal mine and eat it...
Meanwhile Minho will just grab the apple and throw it at her...
Wow the things I think about Luna are so funny and so like her.
The things she would do is like a memory just replaying in my head.
I laugh at the thought of the apple incident.
"Hey what you laughing at?" Chuck asks as he walks up to me with the greenie following behind
"Oh nothing much..."I say smiling
"It can't be nothing if you're laughing" he says as the greenie sits next to me
"I was just laughing at what Luna would do with this apple.." I say chuckling to myself
"What besides eat it?" Chuck giggles
"Don't you have something bloody better to do?" I laugh
"Ah yeah see ya" chuck says walking off
The greenie sits on the log next to me and fiddles with his hands.
"So Greenbean remember your name yet?" I ask
"No" he says quietly
"Why cant I remember anything ?" He finally asks
Usually that's the first question they ask...
"I'd thought you never ask.." I say
"What..?" He says confused
"Nothin" I chuckle handing him a plate
"Here eat up, I'll answer most of your questions on the tour..." I say handing him his cup and apple
"Thanks" he says taking the food
He takes a bite then shoves it all in his mouth like he's never eaten before.
"Hungry are ya?" I question
He nods and takes a sip of his water.
We eat our sandwhich and drink our water.
I take his plate and put it in a pile with mine.
He holds the apple and looks at it.
"It's edible" I joke
He looks up at me then takes a bite.i stand up and lean on the stump I was cutting down.
He finishes off his apple and puts the core with the plates.
"Watch this" I say and grab my machete out of the stump.
I throw my apple in the air and swing my machete slicing the apple in half.
He just stares at me in amazement.
I throw my machete in its pouch and I pick up the two pieces of apple.
I take a bite of one half and throw him the other.
He looks at it and rubs his hand over the the part where I sliced it in half perfectly.
"Here you can have it" I say
He takes a bite and shifts in his seat.
"Luna would love to meet you, she's very friendly, but gets jealous very easily" I chuckle
"You don't talk much" I say
He just looks at me and gives a little smile.
"Well let's start that tour" I say walking off
He follows me as I point out the gardens eating the rest of my apple.
"The track-hoes are the ones that look after the gardens, I usually go there and help out.
There's the pens and the blood house where the slicers, well slice up the meat.
The baggers they bag up the dead bodies and they put them in the graveyard deep in the deadheads.
The brick-nicks they build our shelters 'n' stuff.
Ahh the sloppers they clean up the messes and the bathrooms.
And ...." I explain but I see he's not taking any interest and is just staring at the maze doors
"What's out there?" He asks looking up at me even though I'm just a bit taller
"The maze, it's where the runners go during the day..." I explain
"Runners? ...What's a runner?..." He asks looking back out to the maze
"They run through those bloody doors and run the maze everyday mapping it, looking for a way out..." I say pointing to the maze
"Looking for a way out?" He questions
"Yeah they go out their looking for a way out of the maze... We've been here 3 bloody years looking for a way out..." I say
"And you haven't found anything?" He asks worrily
"Unfortunately no... But we found something recently..." I say
He nods his head and looks around.
"I'm a runner ya know... And the leader... "
" A bloody Fun fact for the day!" I chuckle
He smiles and looks at the maze.
"How do I become a runner?" He asks curiously
"Listen here... You don't want to be a runner.... And you don't bloody get to choose to be a runner they choose you..." I warn
"Who's they?..." He asks confused
"Minho, he's the keeper of the runners and my best friend..."
"He chooses who becomes a bloody runner" I explain
"Well where is he?" He questions
"He's out in the ma- alright that's enough bloody questions Greenbean..." I cut myself off
"Thomas..." He says quietly
"Pardon?" I question
"Thomas... That's my name..." He corrects
"...Thomas...."
"Welcome to the glade" I say patting his shoulder
I give him a smile and steer him in the opposite direction of the doors.
Now how about I show you a couple of jobs so you can try out.

Thomas' POV
Newt leads me to the gardens and gives me a shovel and told me to plant some seeds.
Is this what they do all day plant seeds?...
So I do what I'm told and plant seeds.
We stick around the gardens for the rest of the afternoon.
It's getting dark now...
I look up at the sky and Newt does the same.
He continues chopping down his stump.
So I go back to work taking the fruit off the vines and placing them in a basket.
I keep getting distracted at the thought on who put us here...
Why'd they put us here?...
Why can't I remember anything?...
Why do I only remember my name?
I see I'm not the only one getting distracted...
Newt keeps looking up at the giant gap in the wall that separates us from the maze.
Is someone out there that he cares about?
Like that Minho guy?
And where's this Luna that he spoke about?
Why is she a wolf?
Is he sure it's not a dog of some sort?
Why was everyone kinda disappointed that I was a guy?
And why is everyone here male?
Is there any girls here at all?
Other than the wolf?
"Hey Tommy you alright?" Newt asks concerned
"Ahh yeah..."
"Who's this wolf you were talking about earlier?" I ask wanting to know more
"Oh Luna, well she's a small white wolf with crystal blue eyes and a blue collar with a moon on it... She's out in the maze right now running with Minho and Sam..." He explains
Who's Sam?
Is that a guy or a girl?
"Who's Sam?" I ask
"Uhh Sam's a girl with short blonde hair and she's also running the maze at the moment .." He explains
Oh it's a girl, so there's only one girl here...
"I'll be right back, stay here Tommy" Newt says walking off towards the doors
Where's he going?
Don't leave me here!
I follow him.
He looks out into the maze and checks his watch on his left hand.
Is he waiting for something?
Or someone?
"Tommy I told you to stay back there.." Newt begins
Then a loud noise goes off like stone rubbing against each other.
"Oh no... not again" he mumbles with a worried look on his face
Is there something that Newts hiding?
Is there something that I don't know
Is there something wrong?
Then the giant doors as Newt called it start moving...
It looks like it's closing!
Newt starts to panic in a calm way.
"Hey Newt you alright?" I ask
"No, no, no this can't be happening..." He mumbles pacing back and forth
"This isn't fair" He says
"Newt? you ok?" I ask again
"No, Luna, Minho and Sam are out there! And if they don't make it back in five minutes they're dead..." He says
"What?!" I yell
"Listen Tommy, if they don't make it back before those doors they're stuck out there in the maze, with creatures so terrifying you won't be able to sleep...."
"What kind of creatures?" I ask
"Well we call em' grievers and if you get bloody stung by one and don't get the syrup in time you're dead meat." He explains
"Oh" was all I managed to say before seeing something strange and I'm sure Newt saw it too...
