The next day:

Spending a night in the maze and coming out alive in one piece was impossible, right? Well, not now. Alby was stung, Minho was exhausted and Thomas was passed out. But atleast they were alive, just like y/n had told Newt. It wasn't their plan. How does she know about everything they do, does she work for them? All of these thoughts are racing inside Newt's brain and his head is aching. Apart from this, he's thinking about what she had said yesterday. Someone was going to take her, she said wicked is good. He's snapped out of his thoughts when the greenie alarm rings.

He gets up and runs near the box where everyone else is already gathering, they're whispering to each other, they look just as confused as Newt is. "Everybody shut your holes!" Newt yells, making each one of them stand in silence. Minho, his old friend comes running and stands next to him, he's exhausted but curious about why the creators have sent up someone so soon. About ten minutes later, the obnoxious sound of the alarm goes off and the metal gates slide open. Newt and Gally pull open the inner lid of the box. Signalling Gally, Newt jumps in the box and the crowd of gladers tower over him.

"It's a girl." he says. He's shocked to see a girl, just like the others are.
"Is she hot?"
"I call dibs!"
"Alright, that's enough!" Newt glares at the boys who were passing comments. "Look at that thing in her hand." Minho points towards the girl's lifeless arm. Thomas is now standing beside him, he looks fine. Newt crouches beside the girl and pulls a paper out of her fingers. "They're the last ones...ever." he reads. "They?" A glader says.
"But there's just one girl...woah!! Hold on!" Newt says. He squints his eyes and looks towards the dark corner of the box, there she is, the other girl.

"There's one more girl." he mumbles. Carefully, he goes near her and shakes her frail figure. He checks her breathing and then he calls Minho to help him take the girls out of the box. Minho lifts up the other girl while Newt carries the girl who's passed out in the dark corner of the box. Just as the bright sunlight hits her face, Newt immediately recognises her as the girl from his dreams, it's her, it's y/n. He places her on the grass beside the other girl. "Get Clint and Jeff." Newt says to a random glader. Suddenly the other girl gasps for air and her eyes snap open. She's got stunning blue eyes. "Thomas!" she says before falling back into what seems like a coma.

Every other guy in the glade is eyeing Thomas as if he's done something horrible. "You know her? Coz she seems to recognise you." Gally glares at him. Thomas mumbles a quiet 'no' and nobody believes him. Clint and Jeff carry the girls to the medjack hut while Newt commands all the gladers to get back to work. He then goes to the medjack hut. Her sleeping so peacefully makes him question his thoughts. She looks so beautiful and different. "Inform me when they wake up." he says to Clint with a stern expression on his face. He doesn't know if he should trust her.

One day later:

Today is different, it's not like any other day in the glade, nothing seems normal because the sky has turned grey. It looks like a goddamn ceiling. Newt and the other gladers are panicking, there's no sun in the sky, without it all the crops are going to die. Since Alby is going through the changing, the entire responsibility is on Newt's shoulders. Minho and Thomas are equally curious, their recent discoveries about a griever hole make them find out more about it so that they can escape the maze soon. Everything's going to change. Her simple warning rings in Newt's ears, he's angry and baffled.

While working with the track- hoes, Jeff approaches him, he tells that the girls are awake. "Newt! One of them climbed up the tower!" He says, clutching his crotch. "And let me guess, she bloody kicked you in the crotch." Newt says. "No, the other one kicked me down there." Jeff complained. "Where's she?" Newt asks with concern evident on his face. "I don't know." Jeff says. "Alright let's go see the other one." Newt says. They both hurry to the watch tower under which a few gladers are standing with wooden boards on their heads.

"Girls are awesome!" Chuck giggles while he points at the girl who's busy throwing stuff on Gally's head. "Hey! It's Thomas!" Thomas says. He's standing beside Gally. Hearing his voice, the girl peeks her head over the edge and looks. "Alright I'm going to come up there." He says and goes up carefully to talk to her. "Alright shanks, get back to your bloody jobs." Newt sighs. Just as he's about to go back to check on y/n, he hears Minho yelling. "Hey! You dumb slinthead, get back here!" he yells. He's chasing someone. Newt squints his eyes more to see that he's chasing y/n. "I wasn't snooping around! I'm looking for him, stop chasing me!" she yells back at Minho who was near the map room.

He's fast, he catches her and they tumble on the grass. "Please let me go!" she screams. Newt rushes near them and pulls Minho off her. Minho looks confused but when y/n sees Newt, she immediately jumps into his arms and hugs him. "Newt!" she says, loud enough for Minho to hear. His eyes are widened at the sight before him. Newt and y/n. Newt looks down at the trembling girl clutching his shirt for her dear life. He hesitantly wraps his arms around her to comfort her. "So you know her." Minho scoffs. "I- I'll talk about it later, Minho. Just let me clear something with her." Newt tried to assure Minho.

"Are you shucking kidding me. Are you asking me to trust her?" Minho whispers angrily. "Just trust me on this one, I know her. Let me talk to her." he convinces his friend. "Okay, find me when you're done talking." Minho says and leaves. "Newt? I need to tell you something, but not here, somewhere private." she says. They pull away and Newt takes her to the deadheads. They sit with their backs against the cold maze wall, their thighs are touching. "What do you want to tell me?" he asks. He feels weird to talk to her but he knows that it's for their best. "I triggered something." she says with tears in her beautiful y/e/c eyes. Newt feels sad for her, why did they put her in this hell hole? Why did they do this to her?

"What do you mean you triggered something?" Newt asks. "I ,I don't know. I'm confused, I don't know what they did to me. I just know you, everything's fading away." she cries. "Shh, it's okay, I'm right here, love." he says, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. This feels so right, him and her...he wants more of this. He knows that he loves her, he should protect her. "Calm down love, tell me if you remember anything." he brushes his fingers through her soft hair. "I remember something, I remember Teresa, she knows something about the...codes." y/n says. "What codes and who is Teresa, love?" Newt presses on.

"The one who came here with me, it's her, she's my friend." she says."Wait, you didn't actually say that, did you? How do you do that?" Newt asks her when she talked to him telepathically. "I don't know, I don't remember a lot anymore. I think we are special." she says in his head again. Newt smiles at her, he feels a lot better in her presence. "I need to tell you something else too." she says. Rolling up her sleeve, she shows her arm. Wicked is good. "I wrote this when I woke up, that's the only thing I remembered apart from you. Now I don't know what it means." she says. This is weird. I need to talk to Minho about this. Newt thinks.

"I know it's hard for you to trust me." she mumbles. "No, uh, that's not what I'm thinking." Newt says. "I know exactly what you're thinking. It's okay, you should tell this to Minho." she says. "How do you -" he tries saying but she cuts him off. "Yeah, I know. I don't know how I can do it though. But you can do it too, you just need to focus more." she says. They sit in silence for a few minutes, just looking at each other. Newt knows her, he loves her. Slowly he leans closer and places his lips against her. They share a long, sweet kiss and everything seems perfect at that moment. "Y/n, I love you, you know that, right?" he mumbles, putting a strand of hair behind her ear.

She shyly nods and gets up to leave. "I need to find Teresa." she says and turns to leave. "Don't you?" Newt asks, he looks hurt. "Yes, I do. I love you, Issac." she says. She smiles, kisses him once more and runs away to find her friend Teresa. Newt smiles like a dork, she has never called her Issac before. All of his worries go away when she says that she loves him. A new kind of confidence builds up inside him. He wants nothing more than to get out of this place with the love of his life. He gets up, ready to talk to Minho about it. It's time for them to find a way out of this place. It's time for him to protect her, he's in love with her.
