to love too late

chapter 7 || you just killed yourself

"Subject A14 is ready" I heard someone say.

I was laying on a bed, wires hooked up onto my body. 

"Bring her right this way, we're behind schedule" A lady's voice said. 

I opened my eyes and saw the same lady in white suit standing infront of me. A boy that looked just like Thomas sat in a chair near her and another girl? She had wavy brown hair that stopped at her chest, piercing blue eyes that looked like the boy named Aris'?

"We ran through the tests ma'am, she isn't one of the immunes, we're not sure if she'll make it in the maze trials" A voice boomed around me. 

"She will survive. We won't let them kill her" 

He nodded slightly, as he walked over to me, yanking me by my arm.

"Be careful with her!" The same lady in the white suit yelled.

"Sorry, Chancellor Paige" He replied.

I fought back with all my might, trying to get out of his grasps before he threw me into a tunnel looking coffin. 

As soon as he closed the door to it, I was locked out.

"Help me!" I shouted to the boy and girl as I banged on the thick plastic. They both gave me solemn looks before the tube started filling with water quickly.

"Help me! Teresa! Please!" I shouted. She mouthed an 'I'm sorry' as a tear fell from her eyes. More and more pouring down the girl's face as she watched me slowly be drowned.

I woke up, sweat beading on my forehead as I caught my breath. It all seemed so real yet so fake? Who was Teresa? Why did that guy looks so familiar to Thomas?

The sun looked to have just risen, so no one else was up besides Fry, Minho, Newt, and Alby.

"Morning, Love" Newt said to me as I walked into the kitchen, brushing out my hair with my hands. Everyone stared at us.

"Shush it. Good morning to you all too" I said with a quick smile. 

"Fry do you need any help?" I asked as he gave me a bowl of oatmeal.

"Oh yeah, could you toast the bread for me?" I nodded as I placed the bread on the pan. 

"I'm going into the maze with Minho to try to map out where Ben went last night and to see if he's alive" Alby said to all of us. 

"Okay be safe" I told the boys, after finishing their sandwiches and placing them in their leather backpacks. 

They both thanked me and Fry before running off to the open doors. 

I finished helping Fry with breakfast before going off to the hut to prepare for the day.

A knock at the door brought me out of my thoughts as I was organizing the shelves.

"Hi, Love" Newt said with a smile as he sat down in the chair in the corner.

"Gosh Newt, you need to stop with those pet names" I said with a small smile as I turned to face him.

"Why? Do you not like being called 'Love'?" he asked me with a small pout.

"No, but the others will think that we're a 'thing', it'll start more drama than it should" I said with a soft smile. 

"Mmm okay, Love" Newt said with a laugh. God his laugh. Shut up.
