A15 The Innocent

|8| - After Dark

/THE GLADE\

/MINHO POV/

"Emmy. Why would you do that! You know you're not supposed to be in the shucking maze!" I yell at the girl as I approach her.

She turns her head towards me, and I falter as I notice the tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I didn't, I was just-" She hiccups as she tries to take a breath in. 

"Emmy," Thomas whispers before kneeling down beside her and pulling her into a hug. She cries into his shirt, her shoulders shaking with each sob.

I sigh and glance down at Alby who was still unconscious thankfully. I turn back to them before rubbing my forehead with my fingers, placing my other hand on my hip.

"We should worry about this later. We need to run the maze and not get caught by the Grievers." I say as I look at them.

Emmy rubs at her eyes and cheeks before sniffing while nodding her head. "Sorry, Min Min."

I smile slightly before nodding my head. "I know Emmy. But let's get going okay. Just stick with us."

She nods her head slightly before I turned to look at Thomas. He looked at me with worry in his eyes. But I just push my lips together and turn around.

[NEWT POV]

I couldn't move from my place at the doors. And no one tried to move me. I could only stare at the walls, images flashed before my eyes.

Emmy standing in the maze. YN standing in the maze. Both of them looking at me as the doors closed between us. 

I lost them to the maze.

I lost them.

\THE SCORCH/

{YOUR POV}

I slowly open my eyes, my mind fuzzy and body numb. A subtle light invades my vision, and I blink and squint as I slowly begin to make out the blurry figures.

"She's waking up!"

I blink again as the light leaves and I see a familiar face. 

"Mary?"

The Mary that worked with Thomas, worked with WICKED. She smiled down at me and nodded her head as she took a step away from me. I studied her, noticing her lab coat was gone, instead replaced with normal clothes. Sitting up I hiss as I feel pain shooting up my arm.

"I'm glad you remember me YN. And don't worry, your arm's just sprained not broken." She says as she sticks a needle into a bottle.

"You're not with WICKED anymore, are you?" I ask as I noticed the low-tech equipment in the tent. 

She nods her head as she turns towards me, needle in hand. "Yes, I had realized that what they were doing was wrong. So I left. This will help with the pain, and it was smart but very stupid of you to jump out of the Helicopter."

I roll my eyes as she sticks the needle in my arm quickly. "Yeah well, somebody shot the piolet before they could land it."

She sighs and nods her head. "Fair enough."

"And everyone else? Lucy, Harriet, Sonya?"

She smiles turns around, placing the needle on a table. "They're fine, just sleeping at the moment. They should be waking up soon-"

I didn't wait, swinging my feet over the med and walking towards the flap of the tent. I opened it and paused as I saw what was outside. 

"Not what you were expecting huh."
