Gladergirl || Newt x Reader

Chapter 26 - Day-stung

[y/n's pov]

I woke up with Newt's hand lazily rested around my waist, as he had his head on my chest. I had my arm wrapped around his shoulders. I looked at the time, falling asleep again.
I woke up alone in Newt's hammock. I got up, putting on my shoes, looking around the Glade.
I notices Thomas with Newt in gardens. I smiled as I walked past them. I met with Chuck.
,,Hi, how are you Chuck?" I asked.
,,Great." he smiled. I did the same, feeling like a warm was spreading inside me. ,,Do you think Thomas will be Track-hoe?" he asked, looking at me.
,,I dunno Chuckie, maybe." I answered. He looked at Thomas with Newt, as Thomas was asking again and again, and Newt just threw a bucket at him. Chuck laughed. I said quick apology to Chuck, as I went to Newt.
,,Hi, is everything ok?" I asked as I reached him.
,,Yeah, everything's fine princess." I smiled at this nickname.
,,How's Thomas?" I couldn't help and asked.
,,Well he's really curious. Always asking about ways out," I laughed at this a little. ,,he also asked me yesterday how to become runne-"
,,Runner? He wants to be runner?" I asked, interrupting him.
,,Yeah, he does. I actually think he didn't let go of the imagination just yet." he said looking towards the Deadheads.
,,What you sent him for?" I asked looking at the forest little confused.
,,Mud and dirt." Newt laughed scratching the back of his neck. I let soft laugh out, looking at him.
,,I'll leave you to work. See you at lunch?" I asked, smiling at him.
,,Of course." he answered with smile. I gave him quick kiss on his cheek, turning away, walking somewhere else.
I was walking away, when screams and yells broke the peaceful silence of the Glade. I turned quickly, alerted, to find my brother running away from Deadheads, yelling for help. I started running towards him. Newt was already clenching his shovel, running to Thomas too. In few seconds after him, Ben ran out of the woods. He was chasing Thomas!
Ben reached him, pulling him on ground, climbing on top of him. Thomas tried to push him away, but Ben way holding himself tightly. Newt rushed to them, with many other Gladers, me including, at his heels. He just swung his shovel, hitting Ben into his temple, immediately knocking him off Thomas.
Newt snapped his fingers.
,,Pin him down!" he commanded. Few Gladers listened. ,,Med-jack!" he yelled not noticing me.
,,I'm here." I said. He looked at me, nodding. Before I could say anything, Alby came.
,,Lift his shirt!" he was the one commanding now. One of the Gladers did so, as all of them backed off. Ben was stung. ,,Take him to pit." said Alby coldly.
,,No! Alby! I'm sorry! I'm fine now!" Ben started begging. We ran out of the Griever serum like two months ago and the creators never sent new one. Alby just turned his head away, as the Baggars took Ben away.
,,I'm gonna treat his wound." I said to Alby, him only nodding, as I passed him.
,,Alby!" Ben wailed as the Baggars were dragging him away.
I started to walk after them, to treat Ben's wounds, when someone caught my wrist.
,,(Y/n), I don't want you near him." said Newt, when I turned to face him. I smiled at him, as he was still holding my wrist.
,,Don't worry baby, I'll be careful." I said, still smiling.
,,But what if anything happens?" he asked.
,,Nothing will happen." I said. Hearing Gally talking about Ben being stung during day.

I enter the pit, Ben crouched in corner.
,,(y/n)!" he breathed out. ,,You can't let them kill me." he said, crawling towards me, his hands on my ankles.
,,Ben," I said, but he kept begging and his nails and fingers diving into my skin. ,,let go!" I said more harshly than I meant it. He did so, giving me quick apology. ,,I'm sorry Ben, but you know the rules, you broke one." I said, sitting on the ground next to him, as I wanted to start treating his wounds.
,,Fuck you!" he blasted off, trying to hit me. I somehow dodged it, standing up, running away, slamming on the doors. They opened them as I hurried away, hearing them shut the door behind.

I stand away from the Keepers, Jeff in my place, holding the Banishing stick. Minho is the one, to bring Ben into the square of spears. I wrap my hands around my arms, feeling the material of Newt's hoodie under my fingers, feeling little better.
,,Ben of the builders, and former runner," started Alby, after Minho threw a small bag with water and food into the maze, before cutting the ropes, that were holding his wrists. ,,you broke a rule, and you are being Banished for it." he finished, as the ground shook. I gripped Newt's hoodie tighter.
,,No, please, Alby, don't do this." Ben started begging, as I noticed almost everyone, looking at Alby, and avoiding Ben's gaze.
,,Ready? Go!" yelled Alby, as all the Keepers lowered their spears, starting to push their way into the Maze. Ben was desperately trying to find a way to get out.
Only until he stepped in between the doors, and there was no way back. They pushed him even further, as his only options were being pressed in between the walls or stay night in Maze. He backed off fully into Maze, as boys bring up their spears, letting the door close. I immediately looked at Newt, leaning on his spear, his face full of sadness and tiredness. I felt my heart drop few inches.
,,He belongs to the Maze now." said Alby after while, resting his spear against the wall, leaving. Newt set his expression to stone cold one, following Alby's example, coming around me, without word grabbing my wrist, spinning me around and dragging me to my hut.
The moment he dragged me inside, he spin around, closing the door, turning to me again, wrapping his arms around me, hiding his fave in my neck, even though he needed to be crouched a little. I stood there in shock for a little while, before wrapping my arms around him, burying one my hand into his hair
