"Leave me alone!" The girl shouted, frightened as she threw another rock down below. Fear spread through her chest, not fully understanding what was happening as her blue eyes glistened with flowing tears. She couldn't remember anything.

The loud noise of the boy gladers surrounded her, hearing them trying to duck and block from the raining rocks. Her mind desperately tried to focus on something, finding only her name and someone else. A boy with familiar brown eyes.

She was trembling, her hands tightly gripping the branches of the treehouse as she ignored the gladers warnings and threw another rock at them.

"I'm warning you!" Teresa yelled, scared as she noticed more boy gladers heading in her direction. She shoved another rock from the pile, throwing it down below as she stayed hidden from their view.

A loud familiar voice suddenly startled her, causing her to stop as she meekly glanced down at the gladers. It was the brown eyed boy, Thomas. She watched him slowly climb up the tree, heading in her direction as she knew he wanted to talk to her alone.

"Easy....It's ok." He spoke, quietly as he stared at the frightened girl with beautiful blue eyes. She was curled into a ball in the corner of the treehouse and holding a knife with trembling hands.

"Where am I? Why can't I remember anything?" She responded, confused as she pointed the knife at him determinedly.
"This is all normal. We've all been through this." Thomas answered, calmly as he slowly crouched in front of her.

"How do I know your name? They told me I said your name in my sleep?" Teresa whispered, still confused as she slightly lowered the knife. She felt strangely safe with this brown eyed boy like she knew him yet she didn't remember how.
"I don't know...." He whispered back, softly as he felt himself getting lost in her beautiful blue eyes.

"Who are you?" She muttered, quietly as she stared into familiar brown eyes.
"I'm Thomas....But you already knew that...." He responded, softly as he also felt like he knew her. He intently stared at this strange girl, finding her quite beautiful with her dark raven hair, icy blue eyes and soft pink lips.
Teresa meekly nodded and silently stared at this boy, feeling a unknown connection to him.

"You'll remember your name in a cou—" Thomas spoke, quietly as he unknowingly moved closer to her.
"Teresa. My name is Teresa." She responded, cutting his words off as she felt a feeling of safety wash over her. He paused at her quick response as he stared back at her.

There was silence filling the air, faint mumbling of the Gladers below could be heard as they stared at one another.
"Everything alright up there, Tommy?" Newt shouted, curiously as he stared up at the treehouse.

"Yeah. Everything's fine. She's ok." Thomas yelled, still looking at Teresa as he felt an unknown connection to her. He briefly heard the gladers leaving below. His brown eyes held a soft glimmer, spotting a leaf stuck in her dark raven hair as he gently pulled the leaf free.

Teresa unknowingly leaned into his calming touch, absorbing his warmth as she stared back at him. She breathed in shakily, feeling his fingers softly running through her raven hair.

"Beautiful...." He muttered in a barely audible voice as his fingers wandered downwards and caressed her soft cheek. His lips tilted up into a grin, watching her cheeks flush red at his words. This was the start of something incredible.
