What if Teresa wasn't the first girl in the glade? A girl named Elle finds herself getting thrown into the maze with only boys. Elle isn't the kind of girl to let anyone inside her walls, but some how a blond breaks his way through them. Come along...
I seemed to have fallen asleep after my nightmare last night. At Least the rest of my night wasn't riddled with nightmares. When I woke that morning I rolled over expecting Newt to be there, but he wasn't. I assume he already got up for work so I took that as my que to get up. I walked over to my bag of clothes that I had come up with and changed into a black sports bra with a camo button up. I slipped on some jeans as well as a different pair of boots. I strapped on my packs and took my hair out of it's braid letting it fall loose to my shoulders.

As I got dressed I began to wonder what I even looked like. I mean was I even pretty? I quickly pushed the thought out of my mind and stepped out of the hut. The sun had already risen and the glade was already busy with people doing their jobs. "Morning greeny!" "God, hi, you scared me Minho." I say resting my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "And it's not greenie, it's Elle." I say. "Well then welcome to the glade Elle, nice to meet you." he says, extending his hand out to me. "Thank you." I say with a small laugh accepting his hand. "Hey so do you know where i'm supposed to be?" I ask him. "Oh ya Newts in the gardens so you can go ask him, I think he's supposed to give you the tour." Minho said, pointing to somewhere across the glade. "Thanks." I say putting a hand on his shoulder before running off.
"Morning!" I say jumping onto Newts back. "Well someone's chipper this morning." he says laughing. "I remembered my name, why wouldn't I be?" I say sliding off his back. "Oh right, Elle was it? Sorry I was really tired last night." "No problem, and ya it's Elle" "That's a very pretty name for a very pretty girl." he says, which causes my cheeks to burn red. "Um speaking of looks, what do I look like?" I asked him. He sets down his shovel and steps over to me, looking me up and down. "Well you look to be about five three, you're probably around sixteen if I had to guess. You have icy blue eyes, Carmel brown hair, and a beautiful smile." he says putting his fingers under my chin raising my head to look at him. "Thank you." I say cheeks burning redder. "Um, so I hear there is supposed to be a tour?" I say quickly trying to change the subject. "Ah right, well I unfortunately won't be able to give you the tour like originally planned but Dave over there will be taking over." he says pointing over to a boy that was working on a building. "Oh, ok. Well i'll see you later then ok?" I say waving goodbye to Newt.
"Hello, are you dave? I was told you'll be giving me the tour." "ahh well yes I am pretty lady." he says leaning his arm against a pole, I could already tell I wasn't the biggest fan of this guy. We spent around an hour going around the glade, he informed me of all the jobs as well as where everything was. He also told me about the maze, and the three rules that all gladers have to follow. "Alright, lastly we have the deadheads." he says leading me into the forest. "Why do they call it that?" I ask. "Well being here isn't as safe as it may seem, we have lost people to sickness, the maze, and suicide." he says pointing over to a couple head stones in the ground. "Oh" I say looking down. "Hey there's no need to be a scared princess, I'll protect you." he says taking a step closer to me. "And I can do a lot more than protect you, if you know what I mean." he says now pinning me against a tree. "Um, please let go of me." I say as he tightens his hold around my waist, his nails now digging in piercing my skin. "Oh come on princess, you gonna tell me you wore this outfit and weren't asking for attention?" He says leaning in. I can now feel his hot breath against my face, it smelt of liquor and whatever he had for breakfast. "I can make you very happy." he says leaning in and placing his lips on mine. I tried so hard to push him off but unfortunately he was both taller and stronger than me. He continued to kiss me one of his hands now trailing up my side under my shirt, getting closer to my bra. Then I remembered the knife in my boot, I raised my knee kicking him in the balls. This caught him off guard enough for me to reach down and grab my knife. "Well that wasn't very nice now was it princess?" he says taking another step closer to me. I began to run, but he was hot on my tail chasing after me. "Newt! Newt! Help!" I yelled hoping he could hear me.
Unfortunately I wasn't fast enough and Dave caught up to me at the edge of the forest tripping me, tackling me to the ground. "Please stop!" I yelled through my tears. Dave had begun to unbutton my top with one hand the other was holding my head to the ground. As I finally began to give up on being able to free myself from him, he was suddenly tackled off of me. I quickly crawled backwards on all fours putting my back up against a tree still letting my tears fall. Through my tears I could see Newt on top of Dave beating him to a pulp. "Newt! Stop, please!" I just wanted this all to stop. It was too much. But no matter how hard I yelled he didn't hear me. Then Gally went over to Newt and Minho by me. "Are you ok?" Minho whispered to me. "Sorry that was a dumb question, it's ok we're here now." he said holding onto me "Newt! Stop and look at her!" Gally yelled separating Newt from Dave. Newt finally looked over to me to see the state I was in. my shirt had been completely unbuttoned leaving only my sports bra beneath, you could see blood dripping from where Dave had dug his nails into my sides. Then he just looked into my eyes, he could see the fear and hurt that was in them, as well as my tear stained cheeks. After a moment of staring at me he came running over to my side. "It's ok love, i've got you." I was so exhausted from all the stress that I could feel myself begin to pass out. "No come on love, stay with me ok?" he had picked me up bridal style and was walking me over to our hut. I could see tears streaming down his face as well. "Newt... he, he tried too..." I was cut off by blackness taking over my vision. The last thing I heard before I passed out was Newt saying. "I know love, I know."
