Aurora was one of the first people to enter the glade, being the only girl was an interesting predicament to say the least...
[Newt x Female Oc]
[The Maze Runner - 1]
Mornings where never easy for Aurora especially when she was comfortable since the Gladers don't often get peaceful nights. Rory knew it was because she was sleeping beside someone she trusts with her whole heart and she would happily admit that but it didn't do her justice when the boy beside her decided to get up. Rory groaned and gabbed Newt's arm pulling him back into the bed since he was keeping her warm.
"Ro we have to get up" The blonde whispered, tacking a piece of loose hair behind Rory's ear. Her eyes fluttered open slightly to look at him with a pout.
"I'm comfy" She spoke in mock sadness puffing her bottom lip out slightly and giving Newt puppy eyes that almost everyone in the glade cracks under. He looked away quickly and chuckled to himself, Rory knew that it was because he was a sucker for her puppy eyes. Rory groaned and rubbed her eyes before sitting up and stretching "go change then but don't leave without me"
"okay" Newt chuckled and got up. Rory brushed her teeth in the small sink that had been put in their rooms, bare in mind that it want that affective since you had to use bottled water and not a tap. After that she changed into a pair of black joggers and a black long sleeved t-shirt tucked into the joggers. She put her hair into a single French braid and went outside to see Newt stood leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
Rory smiled and grabbed the boys arm before pulling him down to the kitchens where everyone was lining up to get food, Minho waved the two over since he was in the middle of the line. The two headed over and stood behind Minho, ignoring the slight glares from the other boys.
"where have you two love birds been" Minho mocked and nudged Rory a little.
"Sleeping, i didn't want to get up but this shank made me" She pouted and crossed her arms, nudging her left arm against the blonde's.
"together hm" Minho raised his eyebrow
"she was scared" Newt joked and threw his arm over Rory's shoulder who shrugged it off
"false, i was sad that the bloody grievers ruined yet another good night" She sighed as they got to the front of the line, grabbing a tray o blueberry pancakes and thanking Frypan before the three went to their usual table which was now holding chuck and Thomas as well. They ate in mainly silence, occasionally making a comment about Thomas and his work with the track-hoes.
After they ate and waved Minho off Thomas and Newt headed to the gardens while Chuck accompanied Rory to the med-jack cabin. Jeff and Clint was already inside, sat down on two chair waiting for anyone to come in. Rory smiled at them and took a seat beside them. The trio conversed about the greenie as well as their job for quite a while, chuck coming in every ten minutes complaining that he was bored and wanted to sit with those three.
Suddenly a loud yell was heard from the cabin, Rory jumped up and ran outside, the two boys following close behind. Everyone was rushing towards the noise, Thomas was spotted running away from ben. Rory gulped and headed to newts side, for no other reason than the fact she feels safe around him. Ben tackled Thomas to the floor as Newt and Rory rushed over, shovel in the blonde's hand.
When they reached the two boys Newt swung the shovel and hit Ben off Thomas. Newt, Gally, Zart and Frypan holding him down. Thomas explained what happened as he stood beside Rory who held on to his upper arm for comfort. Alby headed into the centre with a concerned look on his face that Rory recognised and immediately stepped forward beside Alby. Ben was mumbling 'no' under his breath.
"lift his shirt up" Rory spoke and crossed her arms, looking towards Alby who nodded. Gally pulled it up and on his chest was a small black wound with black veins swimming around it. The middle was bloody and Rory let out a deep breath, it was going to happen eventually and she knew that, they just hadn't had someone stung for a while.
"no, no no! please" Ben begged making Rory gulp and pull his shirt back down, not wanting to see the injury any more.
"He's been stung, in the middle of the day" Gally stated with confusion as the four all crouched around ben. Rory put a hand on bens cheek and rubbed his cheekbone with her thumb. The two may have not been the closest but they had some laughs and moments within their time in the glade. She knew they only had two options for him and neither where particularly the best. Alby pulled Rory up before turning to everyone.
"Put him in the pit, come on everyone help. Put him in the pit" Alby stated, Jeff and Clint had helped Gally, Newt and Zart pick up Bens struggling body and carried him towards the pit. Chuck grabbed her hand and pulled her towards Alby and Thomas who where sat under the shelter. Alby was telling Thomas what had happened while chuck was carving into wood and Rory was cleaning the cuts that Ben had inflicted onto Thomas.
At sundown all the Gladers gathered around the gates of the maze, most with sticks that would stop whoever was getting banished from running back into the glade. Rory and chuck stood a little further away, watching from a distance. Minho brought ben towards the gates, fear and sadness evident in his eyes. Ben was one of his first friends and the person he could talk about the maze with since they did their sections together.
Rory nodded at him sympathetically, eyes welling up a little. Minho placed ben in the centre, everyone pointing their sticks ready as Minho cut the ropes. Thomas made his way over, standing beside Rory who smiled softly. Ben was begging making Rory's eyes fill with tears. Chuck noticed and grabbed her hand as Thomas placed a hand on her shoulder. The grinding of the gears sounded and Minho threw in the bag.
The wind flew out of the maze and everyone started moving inwards, restricting Ben to an area he cant escape. As that was happening chuck walked away, Rory contemplated it but she just couldn't move. She was almost stuck to the ground. As they got him in between the gates, ben stumbled backwards, crying as the gates closed in front of him. The boys placed their poles on the walls and Rory let go of a breath she didn't know she was holding.
Immediately Rory turned to Thomas who also had tears in his eyes and enveloped him in a hug, letting her tears run free.
"He belongs to the maze now" Alby stated before everyone scattered of on their own, each in silence. Newt took Rory's hand and they walked over to the lake that they usually sit at after a banishment. Neither speaking just enjoying the comfort the other brings.

- when i first watched maze runner i balled my eyes out when Ben got banished for no reason what so ever.
- also i lowkey made a joke about corona evolving into the flare virus so if people suddenly start going missing its definitely not my fault and were definitely not getting put into the maze one by one okay :)
