----------------------

Kayla's breathing starts to slow. Her vision blurs and a pounding headache forms inside her skull. Kayla can hear the concerned Gladers around her, hands being put on her shoulders and questions trying to make their way into her brain. Suddenly, she tumbles to the ground, all of her strength disintegrating. Her body lands with a soft thud on the grass, her head knocking to the right and hitting the ground, feeling like her skull is being shaken rapidly.

Kayla lets out a small gasp of air, blinking constantly to try and stop her watery eyes. Someone kneels down beside her, the effects of dehydration causing them to move in slow motion.

Muffled words fumble in her ear and she is lifted off the ground, held to someone's chest. Suddenly, another set of hands grip her shoulders, but her original carrier won't let go. Eyes closes, brain aching, all she hears is split voices.

"Let...carry...got her..."

"She...give...love..."

Then, she is given off to another person. Hugged tightly to their chest, Kayla faints.

                                                                                       *****

Darkness... just... nothingness. Like floating in space. The headache's still there... it's getting worse. Terrible. Unbearable. Bad enough to kill yourself. She can't move. The blackness around her prevents the slightest finger twitch. All Kayla can do is float in blank silence, screaming inside from the pain in her skull.

All of a sudden, she's standing on the hard ground of the maze... though she still can't move. She glances ahead and about 30 feet away, Newt is climbing the maze wall. He looks younger, stronger. He reaches 100 feet and then leaps.

Kayla watches in horror as about 50 feet down, his ankle catches in the ivy and stops the suicidal action. The pop of his leg and his blood-curdling shriek fill her senses. Seeing him hanging there could most definitely be the worst thing in the world.

Then, the scene changes. She's sitting behind a complicated looking monitor labeled WICKED on the top... it displays the image she had just seen with many numbers, brain patterns, images, and mood waves, only Newt hasn't gotten caught yet. Kayla's arm moves, though she isn't the one who's moving it.

I must be reliving a memory.

Her finger taps a glowing section on the monitor's screen and the ivy on the wall moves out and catches his leg. 

I did this...

I gave him this limp....

I stopped him from killing himself... but isn't that was he wanted?

NEWT'S POV:

"Come on Kayla... wake up! COME ON!!! BLOODY WAKE UP!!! PLEASE!!!"

He shouts in frustration and gets up from the chair beside her cot, sending it flying to the ground. Newt walks over to the wooden wall and slams his fist into the log. His knuckles start to bleed and tears form in his eyes. 

Leaning forward against the wood panting, Newt hears footsteps. Someone enters the room and sets something down on the bedside table. They walk over to him and place a hand on his shoulder.

"Come on, Newt... you need food."

Minho.

His teeth gritted, Newt grimly answers.

"I'm not hungry."

Minho moves his hand down and grabs the stressed boy's elbow.

"You haven't been out of this room since you brought the poor girl in here. It's been two days, Newt. Two days."

Minho starts walking out of the Homestead, dragging Newt with him. Eventually, he gives up and starts walking behind Minho.

Halfway across the Glade, Thomas jogs up to them.

"How's K-"

Without stopping or looking up, Newt cuts him off and responds coldy.

"Why do you bloody care."

Minho gives Thomas an apologetic look, then keeps walking.

They reach the Food Shack and sit down for lunch.

THOMAS'S POV:

Thomas watches the angry boy limp away and then turns to run to the Homestead.

He enters her room and slowly walks over to the cot. Kayla is tucked under the covers in her back, chest rising and falling slowly.

She's so beautiful....

Thomas kneels down places his hand on her cheek. He can't help it. He leans in and kisses her. Suddenly, she starts kissing back.
