chapter fifteen: wicked is good

Newt laughed, "Wicked is good? Please, those are the dumb shanks who put us here. Those are the letters are stamped on our supplies, WCKD. If I saw one of the bastards I think I'd punch em' round the face myself." "Wicked is good.." I thought, "What does that even mean?" "Listen Greenie, I'm sure it's nothing. We've all had nightmares at one point, I certainly know I have." "Yeah, but these, they don't feel like dreams. They feel real, as if I was really there listening to this woman." Newt just looked at her, "You're just being paranoid. Trust me, we all went through it when we first came up. I know for sure that I was." "I'm sorry you had to go through that.." That phrase sounded odd in my head almost as if I'd said something similar like that to him before, like Newt said I was just being paranoid.

"Newt, if you don't mind me asking, what-" "Don't ask. Please, just don't. I already know what you're gonna say." "If you're limping it was obviously something quite bad-" "I just.. I don't wanna talk about it alright?" I respected his decisions, "Alright, sorry for bringing it up. I'm just so confused about everything, I wake up in a place I don't recognise, with people I know from somewhere but I just can't picture it and everything's just so bloody crazy." "Listen Love, you're fine. Honestly, we we're all like this when we first came up, you're just different for me compared to everyone else." I looked at him with a slight smirk, "How so?" "You- uh you make me happy. Simple, let's just say before you got here I wasn't the happiest person in the world." He said pointing at his leg, that's when I realised, "Oh my god I'm so-" "Sorry, yeah. It's my own fault."
"No, Newt. It's those.. shucking creators. It's their fault." Newt laughed, "At least you're starting to get the hang of it." he smiled and lay back down again.

~Elsewhere~
"Teresa I just miss her, I can't deal with sitting here watching her on these monitors. She's completely changed! Her and Newt despised eachother when they first met and did up until she went into the maze, now she's staring at him as if she's in love with him or something!" Thomas said angrily looking at the screens. "Listen Tom, she did a bad thing, even if she's your sister think about what she did to us, to WCKD, to the people who are just trying to help!" Thomas knew perfectly well that it wasn't just her that gave the sources to The Right Arm, he remembered when she sacrificed herself so that he didn't have to lose his memories. It hurt him inside to know that when they next meet, they won't know eachother. "Anyway, even if they do get out and she has gotten attached to that blonde boy, he's not immune. He'll eventually catch the virus anyway." Teresa said coldly. "Teresa how could you say that? You know perfectly well they're both not immune. Ava never told her, she lived that whole time here believing she was immune but she wasn't! Okay she wasn't! And I am, you are, everyone else in that place are but her and Newt." Teresa sighed, "I'm sorry Tom I-i didn't mean it, but still what she did was wrong and she has to face punishment for it."

Thomas stood up and walked back to his room, Teresa didn't follow. He burst open the door revealing Chuck sitting playing with a toy car, "AH! Thomas don't do that!" the little boy shouted. "Sorry Chuck, I just miss her that's all." "I know you do buddy, you've told me everyday. Listen," he said putting a chubby hand on Thomas' leg, "She's strong and I know she will make it through this." "Yeah but even if she makes it through the Maze trials, who says she's not gonna catch the Flare? After all her, Newt and Winston aren't immune." "Winston? Who the heck is Winston?" Chuck said confused, Thomas realised he shouldn't have said that. "H-he's just another boy here." "Oh, am I immune?" Chuck asked with a scared look, "Yes Chuckie, don't worry, yes you are."
