Newt POV
I sat downstairs watching reality me and reality Thomas talk to my girlfriend, keeping her from running back to Brandon. Aurora was putting spoonful after spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. I grabbed a stack of paper close by, the ones that Natasha and Tony were taking notes on. As I went through them I came across a page where Aurora had shouted at my reality mum.

"I must have missed this while I made the popcorn," I mumbled to myself.

I read the page and my eyes widen as they came across one line. There, written by Nat herself were the words 'YOUR DEAD! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!! I KILLED YOU!! WCKD MADE ME KILL YOU!!'. I froze and stood up.

"Newt!" Natasha called out from the door. "You weren't meant to see that."

"She's said that?" I asked, looking up at Nat.

"Newt, put the paper down and forget about it, it's in the past." Natasha said as Tony and Thomas popped up behind her.

"DID SHE SAY THIS!?" I yelled, throwing the paper to the ground.

They all looked at me sadly and Tony nodded.

"Did-did Aurora kill my parents?" I asked, trying to deny it, telling myself it was just the reality messing with her.

Yet again Tony nodded his head.

"WCKD sent us files on you kids," he explained.

I stopped short. My girlfriend killed my family. My parents. Anger tore through me as I stormed past the group and upstairs to Aurora's room. I slammed the door open on my coma induced girlfriend and went to where she kept her diary, the one she had from before the maze. Grabbing the key from the anklet she wore and tearing it off as tears gathered in my eyes. I swore to her I'd never go through her diary, it was personal stuff, but this was important. I heard footsteps come from outside the room as I flicked to a random page, reading it as Thomas appeared in the doorway.

Dear Diary,
Newt's been up in the maze for almost a week now and I almost feel bad for the jerk, even though he dumped paint on me the week before his memory was swiped. Although, the day before he went off was different, he gave me a hug and told me he'd see me soon enough and would always remember me; I told myself it was just words put into his head to make it seem like he cared but deep down maybe he actually did. Ava assigned me to watch him and Min Min seeing as we had some sort of history or something, so that's what I've been doing for the past few days. Life's not getting better then this I guess.
Aurora.

I skipped to another page in the book that had tear stains on it and read it as Thomas walked over.

Dear Diary,
I was sat at my 'station' today as I watched Newt throw himself off one of the walls. My heart clenched as I watched his leg get caught and heard his scream echo through the speakers. Everyone looked at me of course, as I let out a yelp myself and clapped my hand over my mouth. Tommy, who was right next to me, tried to reassure me by putting a hand on my shoulder but all o could think about was Newt being safe. I don't know what clicked, but as soon as it did I turned my view to Min Min. He was running the maze, trying to find Newt and I jumped up (don't know what took over me, but whatever did I'm grateful for). I ran over to the people who control the walls (which ones close and open) and pushed them all to the side. I hurriedly clicked as many buttons as I could, changing the software so I could gain control. As soon as I had control over all the walls, I started to move them, creating a path for Minho to follow curiously. Ava had realised what I was doing though and came down to stop me. I used my powers to lift a near by gun and aim it at her, telling her if she tried to stop me I would shoot. She left me alone as I finished leading Minho to Newt and the knot in my stomach had released a little bit as I watched him carry his friend out the maze and to the people they call med-jacks. Sitting back in my seat I got a small smile from Teresa and Tommy, who always supported whatever choices I made. Hopefully, what I did was worth it and Newt would live.
Aurora.

"Newt," Thomas warned, but I shut him up with a glare as I flipped to another page.

Dear Diary,
I finally completed WCKDs stupid tasks, I killed everyone's parents. The hardest was probably Newt's, seeing as his hadn't gotten the flare yet and were perfectly sane. I'll never forget the light leaving their eyes as I ripped out their hearts, or their last words to me, 'Look after him Aurora.' It was the most heartbreaking thing I'd ever done and I know it's only going to get worse. WCKD has basically been using me to do all their dirty work, but that's changed. I went through all WCKDs restricted files, gathering information about everything I could and handing it to Tommy, he's all I have now (besides Teresa) seeing as all my friends have been put into the maze. Ava broke the news to me yesterday that because of what I did I'd be thrown into the maze and I didn't feel anything. No pain. No loss. No fright for what I know is to come. But I can feel it now. I just hope Newt wants to be friends and we don't end up being enemies again, that would definitely suck. I've asked Tommy to make sure this diary goes up with me, so I'm hoping he listens to my request seeing as I helped him. My memory swipe is tomorrow morning then I'm off to the maze, back to Min Min and Newt, I guess.
Aurora

I stared at the writing on the page, still angry at why Aurora had lied to me about all of this.

"You should stop, it's wrong to-" Tommy started.

"Wrong to what Tommy?! She's hiding too much, it's time I find out," I snapped flipping to another page.

Dear Diary,
I think whoever that Thomas person was listened to me seeing as I'm writing here now, but seeing as I can't remember him I don't know if I can trust him or not. I've been in the glade for a few days now and it's actually been quite interesting. I found I work well as a med-jack but I'm set on being a runner. This guy called Minho (who I think I called Min Min in my previous life before the maze) who runs the maze every day trying to find a way out of this hell hole. There's also this guy called Gally, who's actually pretty nice when you get to know him and quite enjoyable to hang around. My fellow med-jacks, Clint and Jeff, are doing everything they can to teach me how to bandage up the slicers here and I'm getting the hang of it pretty fast, even teaching them stuff I remember before the maze. I seem to remember a little bit about each guy here, which kinda comforts me in a way, like I have an understanding to each person and why they're here. One guy in particular though is different from the rest. His names Newt and reading back on the pages before I seemed to really despise him. Newt has been watching me for the past few days and I don't know why. It's like he recognises me but just doesn't have the courage to speak up, but I don't know. Night.
Aurora.

"Newt you should really put that down. Aurora will be absolutely furious," Thomas pleaded.

I ignored him and flipped to another page.

Dear Diary,
The glades gotten dull. We're expecting yet another greenie in a couple of days and I'm just not feeling it. After one of my runs the other day, Min Min finally took me to the nap room and showed me what was under that huge piece of cloth. It just so happened to be a model of the maze, making me confused cause I thought we hadn't found a way out yet. He explained to me that it was Alby's call and that we needed hope in glade so we could keep order or some klunk. Something didn't sit right with me though so I went to talk to Alby about it but he said he was busy and told me to talk to him later. I didn't want to though. I didn't know what I was doing as I walked towards the maze this afternoon but I knew I was either going to let a griever kill me or just do it myself. As I made my way over to the maze though, Newt ran over to me. He said he knew how I felt and although I was confused, I seemed to get it. I sobbed into his shoulder and he just kinda reassured me and told me it would be ok. Then he followed me around like a lost puppy to make sure I was ok which was sweet I guess. I've still got to run tomorrow and I think Minho and Newt have talked seeing as they were talking earlier, so that should be fun.
Aurora.

I looked at Thomas then at Aura who was still in the coma, unaware of what they were doing. Thomas took the diary from me and hid it back in her hiding place.

"We should go back downstairs to make sure we know what's happening." Thomas said to me.

I nodded and followed him back to watch the girls again.
