[1.4] Something Bad

[Three Months Later]

Something bad was going to happen. It was a bad day. She could feel it, she could feel that something bad was going to happen. Desperately, she tried to push the thought away but it couldn't be pushed. Waiting at the door, Newt noticed her uneasy setting.

"Love, what's wrong?"

"I'm not sure yet, something just feels wrong."

"Like what?"

"I don't know." The doors started to rumble causing Minho to give her a look as if to hurry up before he himself ran into the maze.

"Be safe Isa." Newt placed his hand on her face, they hadn't kissed again since that one night nor had that made anything official. They were still just friends, but they were closer than before.

"I promise." She whispered to him before running into the maze, unsure of whether she could actually promise something like that.

Her feet carried her while her mind was elsewhere, the feeling never went away, it only got stronger. I should leave. She didn't feel safe. She was right to not feel safe. Her feet stopped moving at a sound from behind her. A low rumble with the sound of steps, not made by a human. Run. Her mind kept telling her to move but she was frozen in place, she needed to know what the sound was. Turn around and Run. Ignoring the voice in her head, her feet moved forward towards the sound slowly. A corner, it was around the corner, whatever was making the noise was right around the corner. Dumbass, turn around and run for your fucking life. She turned the corner, there it was. It was more terrifying than she had imagined, a round bulging, dark creature, limbs laced with spikes stuck out from all over its body. This time she really couldn't move. Fear had taken over. Neither of them moved, they stared at each other. For a moment she believed she was safe, it all happened at once. It started moving towards her making her fight or flight kick in. Her legs started moving, she ran, as fast as she could but the griever reached out with one of it's spiky limbs and grabbed a hold of her leg slamming her to the ground. She hit the rocks letting out a loud yell. Minho, Ben, anyone please. She reached down in pain and managed to pry off the arm, blood leaking from her leg, she attempted to run again but before she could even turn away the griever's arm came across her face sending her back to the ground harshly. Her hand moved up to her face, pulling it away to reveal blood, and a lot of it. Dizzy, she was dizzy, her head was spinning and she felt as if she could lose consciousness any second. Get out of there. RUN! Her mind was telling her to move but her body didn't cooperate. Unable to support her own weight, she collapsed to the ground. The only thing she could hear was her breathing, it was as if the griever had just left her to die. With blurry vision she could see a figure, no two. They stood still for a moment before moving closer. She could hear their voices.

"Isa!" Minho. They got closer to her as she felt someone pick her up.

"What the hell happened to her?" Ben. Her friends came for her. Her eyes kept trying to close but she kept them open just long enough to hear Minho speak to her.

"You're alright Star, I've got you, you're ok." With that she closed her eyes. Darkness overcame her as she felt her body relax.

"Hi, i'm Al-"

"Isadora, my name is Isadora." My hand hit another, the image was blurry.

"I met a girl named Harriet, and there is this guy who is gonna teach us how to fight, he never told us his name but I just call him mister." Rambling.

"We got to look at the maze today, not up close but it looked pretty cool, they're almost finished with it. They said maybe soon we can meet group A." Who is talking?

-/-/-

"I'm next, they told me today. I have one month before I'm sent up." A sad boy, his voice was deformed and his face blurry, who are you?

The key, show me the key.

"You're my favorite person, did you know that." I'm crying.

"You're mine too Isa." I giggle, I sound young.

"I'm gonna miss you."

"I'm gonna miss you too."

"Tell me Thomas." Thomas. Who are you Thomas?

"It's Newt, he did something this morning." Newt? The Newt I know?

"What did he do Thomas?" His leg. What did he do?

The key damnit, show me the key.

-/-/-

"I have something I want you to have, I'll be going up in the maze soon and I want you to remember me." The key, this is the key, it has to be. Who is this? Say your name, say anything to help me recognize you.

Everything fell into darkness, it was gone.
