Asterin hated to look miserable in front of the rest even if it was what she was feeling inside but still tried to look brave; to show Newt that she would try everything and would do anything to keep him alive.

Chuck was the only one who warmed her heart these days, she couldn't forget Newt nor the thought of him leaving her, forever. The hours passed and Asterin ignored Thomas, would tie Newt's shoes when he tried to get down and do it himself, but she was already there on her knees doing it for him.

Back before she was sent to the maze, Asterin never felt loved, she was treated so badly that she felt so numb and eventually had very strong anger and trust issues, that no one dared to even walk past her.

And that is why she shows everyone that they're loved no matter what, for example, jumping on Frypan's back so he can give her a piggyback ride, tying Newt's shoes, and giving everything that is quite far, kisses for Minho...

Speaking of Minho she misses him so much like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky.

Asterin despised Ava Paige, she hated how the blonde woman was kind to everyone except for her, the way she tried to convince everyone to get to the dark side and looked all gentle and serious when she was a walking snake.

The way she can still remember that horrible night, the night before she was sent to the maze, Ava Paige was standing in front of her towering over her form that was on the ground panting from tiredness ordering her to get up and stop being useless

Asterin finally gathered up the courage to look at Ava Paige, her hair falling in front of her face but she still watched the woman with murderous eyes, "you really are bleeding just after one fight? so pathetic." scoffed the woman watching as Asterin suddenly got up in anger.

"just one fight? are you fucking serious, the last time I checked is that I have been in this damn hell hole from 7 in the damn morning and fought 8 men in total and right now you're saying that I'm pathetic? says the one who sits on her ass every day without doing shit-"

Ava slapped her straight where the man had already punched her, it hurt so bad and she could feel the tears forming at how painful it is, all her body hurts and Ava only made it worse, the next thing she knows was her hand clenching the woman's collar in anger.

And guards ran in and pulled her away from their leader violently.

Anyways, that was the past right? it will not happen again.

She's not useless? right?

Imagine. Finishing a hard day at work and you see the 'love of your life' at the end of the road staring at you from far and when you follow them and start calling out for them, they tell you they had to see you.

But in the end, you get kidnapped and hear the sound of a girl you feared and hated.

Yeah, that was what happened to Teresa and the girl was Asterin holding her hostage and Gally wrapped what seems to be a bag on her head.

Waking up to the sight of Asterin cleaning her gun and sitting in front of her with crossed legs and the other gladers behind her, Chuck's eyes narrowed as he shot her a glare so did the rest (except Thomas).

"Gally? Chuck?" Asterin swore that she might gag anytime with her voice showing pure softness and worry as if she was the victim, she understood why Teresa betrayed, she was trying to do the right thing. She just did it in the wrong way.

But the fact that she's the reason that her lover was taken away from her, a lot of survivors died, children and Mary pissed her off and she will never forgive her for doing such a thing.

"So here's how this is gonna go." said Asterin, straightening her posture with a sigh, her legs slightly parted as she pushed her hips forward twirling her gun in her hand, "we're gonna ask you some questions, obviously. and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know. Now, where's Minho?"

Teresa was stuttering and was looking at Thomas for help, Gally slammed the chair beside Asterin to stop her from staring at the boy.

"don't look at him. Why are you looking at him? look at her in front of you. He's not gonna help you."

Asterin chuckled softly and shot Gally a thankful look, Teresa never seemed to stop trying to get a look at the brown-haired boy until the sound of the gun cocking suddenly startled her as she turned to look at Asterin.

The gun was suddenly pressed to her forehead and Teresa's breath hitched in fear, Asterin on the other hand stared coldly at the girl with her gun aimed at the girl staring at her in terror.

"you wanted the difficult way. I am not gonna ask you one more time, now we know that you have Minho in the building, where?" she asked the girl, her voice low and deep in rage as she waited for an answer, "here's with the others in holding. sublevel three."

she replied, her voice quivering in fear.

"How many others?" asked Newt, "28." replied Teresa in slight annoyance, angry that he took her boyfriend away from her, "fix that attitude before I fix it myself." spoke Asterin, hating the way she spoke to Newt.

Asterin turned to look at Brenda who was already staring at her twirling the card between her fingers, "I can make that work." smiled the short-haired girl softly at Asterin, Teresa shook her head in disagreement, "No. no, you guys don't understand. the whole level's restricted. Y-you can't get in without a thumbprint ID."

"That's why you're gonna come with us."

Gally and Asterin looked at each other with raised eyebrows as if they were reading each other's thoughts, "well, I don't know. we don't necessarily need her. right?" he got up pushing the chair away and grabbing a knife.

"not all of her. we just need her finger." he said, making Thomas roll his eyes, "Gally, back off." he snapped, "Thomas, shut up." she snapped back, eyeing the boy up and down, making him squirm in his place.

"What, are you squeamish? I guarantee you she's done a lot worse to Minho." he said pointing the sharp knife warningly at her, Thomas got up and took the knife from his hand, "that's not the plan, back off." rage beat at her heart as Asterin turned to death glare at Thomas.

"It won't make a difference. do whatever you want to me. you still won't get through the front door. The sensors will pick you up the-" she was cut off, "we know, we're tagged. Property of WICKED." spoke Thomas, his footsteps getting closer to her as he crouched beside the girl.

"you're gonna help us with that, too."
