The Only One // Newt Imagine

0.3

I awoke to the sun shining down on the glade. The bright light was penetrating the leaves of the trees above.

I sat up and heard someone say good morning to someone else. I couldn't see anyone though, so I just assumed it was about the time that the gladers all woke up.

I stood up and silently walked out of the forest. Newt immediately ran up to me. "There you are!" He exclaimed. "I couldn't find you last night after you left the kitchen." He said.

I took a deep breath. "Yeah sor-" I was cut off by a sharp pain like a needle penetrating my arm.

I crumbled to the floor and I was enveloped in darkness. 

"Oh, hey! That worked! I was not actually expecting that to work" an ominous voice spoke. "W-where am I?" I asked to no one and everyone.

"Well hello there sleepy head. Took you long enough to wake up." It spoke again. It sounded like a girls voice. "Excuse me?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, you don't remember me." It said sadly. "Well, my names Bree. I was your best friend before the whole - y'know" she said.

I cringed at the thought of my life before the glade. I couldn't even remember a single thing and honestly, I don't want to.

I tried to move around, but couldn't. "Yeah, okay. So Bree, can you let me out of here now?" I asked, annoyed.

"Yeah in a second. I just wanted to say that I'm going to come up in the box soon. Like a week soon. Its gonna be so cool. I get to see you again!" Bree said.

"Yay?" I questioned. Honestly, I just want to go back to the glade, something I never thought I'd say.

"Okay Ariana. You can go" she said and then snapped her fingers. "Oh shit! That's not how it works!" I could sense her smirk.

"Just let me out" I said calmly but on the inside, I was panicking. I felt confined in here. "Okay, bye!" She shouted and then I was gone. I was back in the glade.

I tried to get up, but it didn't work. "Oh yeah this happens too. You have to wait for like five minutes or something and then you get transferred back to the glade. Okay, bye for real this time" she said.

I saw Newt walk into the med-jacks room I was in, but Clint pushed him back. "Just let me see her, goddamn it!" He exclaimed.

"Newt, you know the rules. No one can visit until we have a diagnosis." Clint spoke calmly. "Goddamn it Clint. I am second in command and I will go in there and see the person I need if I want to!" He yelled. Clint backed away. Newt walked in and sat at a chair.

Suddenly, I felt I prick in my arm again. "Told you so," Bree's voice flooded by ears.

I flinched and opened my eyes. "You're up!" Clint smiled. I nodded slowly and groggily rubbed my eyes. "What happened to you?" He asked. I just shrugged. 

I felt that they wouldn't believe me if I told them what really happened. "Oh yeah by the way I just woke up, got stabbed, and had a five minute long conversation with someone who wasn't really there." Real convincing. 

"So, no serious injuries, you should be able to go by tonight." Clint diagnosed. "No serious injuries?" I inquired. "Yeah, just a little cut on your arm, but you should be fine. We'll wrap it and it'll heal perfectly. One condition though: you have to come in every morning and evening before you go to bed for new gauze." He explained. 

I nodded and Newt left mumbling about a new expansion with the builders. Clint soon left as well because he needed to check on one of the runners who got hurt. 

I closed my eyes and slept, dreaming about the blonde boy who makes the butterflies in my stomach flutter until it hurts and the gir- Bree.

I woke up to Clint running around the room looking for something. I sat bolt upright and curiously watched him. "No no no, this can't be happening. Not now, not ever," He mumbled. 

"What's wrong, Clint?" I asked, mostly from curiosity, partially from fear. 

"We're missing the serum to heal people who get stung!" He shouted as if I knew what he was talking about. "Slow down, I just got here. I still don't know what half those things are," I trailed off as he walked out the door. 

"Thanks for the explanation, bud," I mumbled sarcastically before fluffing my pillows and turning over. 

I closed my eyes and fell asleep for the second time that day, just forgetting I was even in the Glade. Just hoping beyond all hope that I wouldn't have to be for much longer. I was going to crack this maze and I was going to lead us out.

Hey there! So it has literally been so long since I updated and I am so sorry for that. Also, this is a shorter chapter and I am sorry for that as well, but I just wanted to get an update out for you guys. School has been hectic and I just haven't really had time to update, but I can probably start updating on certain mornings. 

Anyways, thanks for reading and please vote and leave a comment. Bye!
