The Wall

Alby had banned me from trying out the jobs until my hand had healed, so the next four days were boring. I did take the time to check out my 'girl stuff' though and found out that I will get my period around the tenth of every month, I was expecting it any day now. Ugh. Why didn't they take it away!? I thought to myself. I  looked at the watch that I'd found in the box, it had the exact date and time, so that was handy.  Tomorrow I would be able to finally try out being a med-jack and a track hoe!

I was so lost in thought that I hadn't noticed Newt come wandering up to me. "Hey greenie, you up for a walk?" Newt asked me. I jumped ever so slightly, startled at his voice.
"Yeah sure why not!" I replied. We walked into the woods and then around to my hut (that had been finished) it was next door to Newt's hut so if I had a nightmare again, I could get him or he could come and get me. "I never told you about my nightmare."
"Do you still want to?" Newt asked. I nodded in reply, and then told him the story.
"So it was in like this lab-type room and they were taking the first fifteen of you up into the maze," you said, quoting your dream. "Newt! This place is a maze! I told Alby to look after you all because he was the oldest, and the youngest is Chuck, a scared little boy... oh no!" I said all of this pretty fast.
"What greenie?"
"I left Chuck!" I said and my eyes started tearing up, I wasn't one to cry I don't think, but this just upset me as I pictured his scared little face looking up at me, petrified that they would take me too. And they did.

Newt rubbed my back to comfort me and whispered "Shhh... shhh..." between my sobs of guilt. "It'll be ok. If he was there too, then he will come up out of the box soon and you will see each other again." I was so grateful for Newt right now.
I looked up at him and hugged him, I put my arms around his neck, and I snuggled into his left shoulder, still crying. He held my torso, and we just sat there for a while, I wasn't sure how long, but then Frypan rang the bell for dinner. But instead of separating the hug, he just picked me up. His hands were now under my legs making sure he didn't dare break the hug. I wrapped my legs 'round his back and he carried me over to the kitchens, I was still sobbing silently into his shoulder.

He was a lot stronger than I thought, it just makes him cuter... OMG (Y/N) SHUT UP!! He grabbed two plates full of food off Frypan and chose an empty bench, by now everyone in the glade was looking and that just made me hold onto Newt tighter. "You are going to have to let go of me so we can eat you know (Y/N)?" He told me giggling. I finally unattached myself and sat down next to him. Minho, Ben and Gally came over to sit on the table with us.

"Sooo... what's going on with you two?" Minho asked
"Nothing!" Newt and I said in unison.
"He was just... comforting me." I said as I looked down at my food and began eating. We ate in silence. I suddenly felt slightly light headed. I must have started to sway because Newt put his hand an my back,
"You alright love?" And that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.

"Newt, age 16.
Minho, age 16.
Alby, age 17.
Chuck, age 10.
Winston, age 15.
Gally, age 16.
Jeff, age 15.
Clint, age 16
Zart, age 14."
They just keep going...
"(Y/N), age 14.
Thomas, age 17.
Theresa, age 15." I knew these two names, but they aren't in the glade...

"Send fifteen boys up." Said a voice I didn't recognise.
"Yes ma'am." I recognised this voice. It was Thomas, my older brother. "Come on Teresa."
"Thomas!" I shouted, he just looked back at me, sorrow in his eyes, before Teresa dragged him off, I always hated her. "Don't leave..." I whispered.

"Newt, stop panicking, (Y/N) will be fine." I heard Alby's voice.
"I know Alby, but I care about her..."
I opened my eyes, but only just, "N-Newt?" I whispered. He was at my side instantly.
"It's alright love, I'm here."
"I... I know how old we all are!" I said remembering the names and ages. "Alby, you're eighteen, Newt your sixteen, as well as Gally, Minho and Clint. Jeff and Winston are fifteen and a couple others, uh oh... my minds going fuzzy, uhm- shuck! All the only other ones I remember are the fact me and a boy named Zart are both fourteen... a- and another boy... he's seventeen..." I didn't tell them Thomas' name or about Teresa, because I didn't want to. "How long was I out for?" I was hoping I hadn't missed anything big.
"Only over-night love, don't worry." Newt reassured me.
"This shank right here didn't leave your side." Alby told me, I giggled as Newt's cheeks went pink.

Suddenly, the ground shook.
"What the shuck is that!?" I said alarmed.
"I don't know... come on!" Newt grabbed me off the bed set my feet down on the floor and supported my weight by holding my waist. We walked out to see the commotion.
"Newt... the wall... is splitting... in half..." I said, disbelief obvious in my voice.
"Everyone stay back! We don't know what's in there!" Alby's commanding voice rand around the glade. "(Y/N), Newt and Keepers! To the council hall now!"
"Why me?" I looked at Newt, "I'm not a keeper, or even second in command like you!"
Newt just shrugged "Alby knows what he's doing."
