"But daddy I don't want to hurt the other kids."

"I know don't worry about helping them learn how to keep themselves safe."

"But does it hurt?"

"No no they just feel a little pinch before they go to sleep. But you're the only one that they trust."

"Okay daddy."

"That's my girl! Remember to pinch them on their neck, right where their back ends, just like we practiced!"

"Yes daddy daddy daddy daddy..."

Ebony groaned as she sat up in her hammock, she had been in the maze for about a month, and in that month she had killed three people with her bare hands and one with the actions of her murder. But other than that it was all good! Mostly, Ebony's mind wandered to Newt, and the way he had kissed her. He really had been gentle, and loving in a way she knew she liked. Here's kinda how Ebony's brain works. Most of her thoughts are of training, and though she didn't know who trained her or what exactly for, she knew she could use it here. One small spot was spent thinking of random cayotike things, like blood and glitter. Then there was that tiny littlest part of her brain that thought about things she was told to forget, and though it was small it was the hardest to fight. That little part of her head was where her emotions lived and tried to win with every thought, look, and touch Newt gave. But she won each time, shoving it down farther and farther.

Most people say that psychopaths are born, their brains messed up from the start, their emotions are nothing but mumbles of nonsense so cayotick it causes their sanity to slip through their fingers like sand. But there were some rare cases, where their sanity is ripped apart by human hands, shattered like glass at their feet from a young age. In other words they were made a psychopath. Like Ebony, She didnt know why or by who or for what reason she was so okay with it but I guess when you can't remember yourself you don't mind who you are since it's the only part of you you can keep.

"Ebony!" her head shot up from the floor she had for so long been staring at, her eyes met Minho's as he walked up to her. "Good morning!" he stated,

"Aren't you supposed to be in the maze?" she asked, Minho shook his head

"Alby took my job today, said I should have a break or something. He took Ben with him." he added, taking a seat on the floor by her hammock. She stared at him for a long minute, her brain still partly waking up.

"Okay cool, i'm gonna go get breakfast." she started standing up. She threw her hair into a quick bun and started walking to Frypan's tent, Minho closely followed.

"So what's going on between you and Newt lately?" he asked once they were in line to get eggs. Ebony silently cures herself for not expecting these stupid questions sooner.

"What do you mean?" playing dume wasn't the smartest move but it was all she got,

"I mean you two were besties when you first showed up and now you purposefully avoided each other, what's up with that?"

" I wouldn't say we were besties...Thanks Fry." she smiled as he gave her a scoop of eggs and an extra piece of bacon.

"Don't ask those questions man, it's none of our busyness." Frypan said, giving Minho one less piece of bacon. The runner glared at the cook,

"I'm just curious." he defended

"Curiosity killed the cat." She added, walking over to the table with Gally, Chuck and some of the other guys, Minho sat down across from her in between two boys named Jack and Hue wall Ebony sat next to Gally and a boy named Kash wall Chuck sat next to Gally.

"Why'd you get three pieces of bacon?" Hue asked, Ebony laughed happy to have dropped Minho's question,

"Cause Fry likes me more than you." she smiled taking a bight of bacon,

"He only likes you more cause you're a girl." Gally started taking a drink from his cup. Ebony glared at him for a second before grabbing a handful of eggs and shoving it in Gally's face. Everything went silent for a minute, everyone in the breakfast line, and at the table or around the cooks tent.

"You're gonna regret that." Gally stated, as the area filled with laughter

"Yeah I'd love to believe you but I can't take you seriously with eggs in your hair." she giggled,

"I can fix that." he started grabbing her plate and throwing the dish of eggs and beacon at her.

"FOOD FIGHT!!" someone yelled, and within seconds food was flying everywhere, everyone laughing in the chaos, but there was split second pause in Ebony's world, as her eyes locked with Newt's from a couple tables over, he had eggs in his hair and on his clothes, as she was sure she had eggs all over her as well. His eyes watched her with laughter and love. And for some reason she felt her heart break a little. Something in his eyes was safe, with just one look she could tell he loved her, and he was waiting for her to love him back. But the most painful part was knowing that she could never let herself love someone, and she knew he was gonna wait for her forever, no matter what she said Newt was gonna love her till the day he died and she was never gonna love him back in the way we deserve. So she turned her back on him and walked out. Leaving her only chance at happiness, I can't even begin to tell you how painful that was for her...but I have a feeling I don't have to.

I don't think the beacon was worth it.
