hand in hand.

The next morning..

Newt: Hey, Elizabeth, wake up.

She opened her eyes slowly, rubbing them as she sat up.

Newt: You've got a big day ahead of you, greenie.

Today was the day she'd get a role assigned to her.

First, she tried out for a slicer.
Getting the animals into the pen seemed easy, until one of the pigs pulled her down, making her fall down into the mud.

Then, she tried out builders, which also didn't work out for her. She tried building a little structure, but it ended up collapsing miserably.

Next was cooking. Cooking was not the worst, and it was her second choice in the end.

Med-Jack definitely wasn't the job for her either. Her hands were unsteady and she didn't like the fact that she'd have to stitch people up.

Last but not least, she approached the gardens. It seemed like a peaceful job, and didn't take too much or too little work.

Also, Newt was there.

She'd gotten close with him over the next few days, and he was the only person she really trusted or talked to.

Next week..

She looked up at him, the corners of her lips curving into a slight smile. Newt was fixing something up as she moved a strand of his hair from his face.

He stopped for a second, staring at her.

Elizabeth: I like your hair.

She admitted, putting her hand down.

He rolled his eyes, smiling slyly.

Newt: Sure you do.

She looked to the side, observing the others as she smiled to herself.

She immediately averted her gaze towards the maze doors which were starting to close.

"Hey."

She looked up at the figure standing in front of her.

Standing up, she smiled at him, closely observing his features.

He was quite tall with very muscular arms and asian features.

Elizabeth: Hello.

She replied as he continued.

Minho: We haven't met yet, I'm Minho.

Elizabeth: You're the runner I've heard so much about, aren't you?

Minho: In the flesh.

He replied, which made her giggle.

Elizabeth: I'm Elizabeth, it's nice to meet you Minho.

She held out her hand as he shook it.

Ever since then, her and Newt became closer, Minho soon following.

It's been eight months since Elizabeth had arrived, and since then she's gotten a lot more comfortable around the others, even becoming a runner.

Her and Newt have become best of friends and they spent most of their time together when Elizabeth wasn't in the maze.

As a month had gone by since the last delivery, they all gathered around the box as it opened up, revealing a brunette girl and a brown haired boy next to her. Elizabeth gasped as she jumped down into the box, holding her.
