Bewitching

9| Wrong

*Two Weeks Later*

I stretch and yawn. Ugh, I got a bad nights sleep. I kept dreaming I had this slimy squid sitting on my face. Gross. It was this weird slimy feeling- wait. That slimy feeling is still there. I shot up in bed and fling my hands up to my face. "EWWWWWW!" I shriek. There is a green goo covering every inch of my face. I wipe the goo off my eyes and glare at Minho, who is sitting on his bed laughing his head off. "What the shuck?! I'll rip your shuck head right off your shuck neck then I'll- I'll- UGGGHHHH YOU SLINTHEAD SHUCKED UP SHANK!" Minho fell off the bed just as Newt burst into the room. "What- oh. Really Minho?" Minho starts to gag from laughing so hard. I walk over to him and wipe a goo filled hand on his face. He pauses from laughing a moment to lick it. "Yum." Then he starts to laugh like a maniac again. I curse at him under my breath and grab his blanket and wipe the goo off of my face. I then start to walk out the door but Newt stops me. "Where are you going?" I look at him in surprise. "To wipe the rest of this goo off of my face." He laughs. "Want me to come?" I wave him away. "No need." That had to be the worst idea I'd ever had.
~*~*~
I wipe my face with the towel and look in the mirror. "Good enough." a voice sounds from behind me. I whip around to see Min standing behind me, a hungry look in his eyes. I back away until I hit the sink. "Min, what do you want?" I ask him in a harsh tone. I think I know. He smiles. He looks a crazy. "The question is what do we both want Elizabeth." I gulp. "I don't know what you're talking about." I raise my voice incase someone is around to help. His crazed smile widens. "Don't worry about company dear, Alex is keeping them away." He suddenly reaches out to grab me and pulls me to him. His fingers tangle my hair and he crashes his lips to mine. I scream and pull away. He tugs me with him out of the shed and pushes me up against the wall, my feet off the ground. "HELP ME! SOMEONE PLEASE! HHHEEEELLLPPP!" He starts to kiss me again. I try to shove him away. He comes close again and pulls a knife out. He traces my lip. Then he whispers into my ear, like it was some huge secret about what he was going to do with that knife. "After, I'm going to kill you."

*WICKED POV*
About 6 people sit in a dark room, only lit by the screens of the TV's and computers that line the walls. There eyes are glued to the screen. A blonde haired lady with her hair up in a tight bun bursts into the room. "What is happening? This isn't part of the plan!" One of the workers speaks, all the while still typing away on his computer. A map of subject A19's brain appears on the screen. he speaks fast. "Subject A19 appears to have caught The Flare." The woman gasps, her face going a papery white. "No! How did The Flare get into the maze!" The worker looks up. "We don't know. This could affect the whole experiment, with the control group and the... Unexpected variable. We must get rid of Min at once. It appears he has already spread the disease to Alex. The Flare has taken over the Kill Chips. We cannot contact those." They watch in silence as Subject A19 tries to tug off Unexpected's shirt, but fails as she pushes him away momentarily and scream for help.
A camera turns and they see heads turn from the gathering runners in front of the doors. They start to sprint to the scene. "Do what you have to." "Of course, Ava." Ava walks out, and they zoom in on Subject A19's brother, Subject A20, running into the Deadheads unnoticed.

*Newts POV*

I hear the scream. We all do. Heads turn to the Homestead. Elizabeth. Minho and I start to sprint, the rest of the runners following suit. I am panicked. What happened! Did she slip and fall, or something much worse?
I speed up. As I round the corner I see Elizabeth shove a boy away from her and let out a bloodcurdling scream. I reach her just as Minho tackles the boy. I grab Elizabeth, who is already sobbing, tears streaming down her face. "Love! What happened?" She looks up at me. "Love?" I shrug. "Something I've always said. But that's not the problem right now! What happened?" She points at the boy, who I now realize is Min. "He-he snuck into the bathroom and- kissing and- tried to- tried to-" She breaks down. Five boys already have Min restrained. He looks at us with a crazy look in his yes. "She enjoyed it! She! Enjoyed! ITTTTTTT!" They start to drag him to the slammer. I'll deal with him personally later. I sweep up Elizabeth bridal style and carry her to my room.
She sniffles as I set her on my bed and wrap her in a hug. She sobs against my shirt. By the time she's done my shirt is soaked and her eyes are red and puffy. She pulls away. "Better?" She nods and sniffles again. "Hey." I take her chin and lift her head up until she's looking me in the eye. "You're going to be ok." She smiles a little. "What?" I laugh. "What I said." She hugs me and I hug back, breathing in the scent of her hair.
She pulls away and yawns. It wasn't even eight in the morning and she was exhausted. I mean, who wouldn't be after getting scarred for life. "Why don't you bloody get some sleep love?" She nods and hums a yes and leans onto me.

Elizabeth's POV

I am glaring at a lady across the table. She looks like an older me. She looks at me. "What is our reason for calling me away from work? I'm very busy an don't have time for more ruckus." I nod and drum my fingers against the table. A nervous habit. My mother looks pointedly at my fingers and I hold them still at once. My mind suddenly goes blank. She seems to be waiting for something. She narrows her eyes. "Go on Elizabeth." Oh! She's waiting for me. My mouth goes dry and I stare at her with my mouth hanging open. She sighs. "Has a crank got your tongue? spit it out child!" I take a deep breath as feel a determined demeanor take over my nervous figure. "I want to go into the maze."
~*~*~
I feel a hand shaking me and look up to see a smug looking Minho looking down at me. "I need you to get your butt off of your boyfriend Newtie here so he can get his butt into the maze and run."
I jut smile stupidly at him until I realize what he said. "Oh!" I gasp and start to get up, but end up elbowing Newt in the side and hitting him with my bony knee. "You sure are stupid." I glare at him. "Shut your hole." I realize I'm not going to get off Newt without hurting him so I do the most reasonable thing possible. I somersault. Right into Minho. I smirk as I hear him grunt and shove me off. "Shank." "Slinthead." "Shank!" "Shut up Minho." I turn to see Newt getting up. "I can't go before I deal with a certain someone." "Dude we can't banish someone in the morning the doors have to be closing you doofus." Newt glared. "I didn't mean it like that."
Minho suddenly smiles and looks between us. "So... is Newt and Elizabeth a thing?" He says it in this childish teasing voice that always spikes my anger and annoyance. I smack him. "Shut up." He dances out out of the room. "You must think I'm blind." I turn to Newt and groan. "That crap is going to be all over the Glade now." He smiles softy. "I don't really care though." He pulls me into a hug and I just do that really stupid hum that I do when I'm happy.

I am raiding Minho's room. I chose his not because I think he has paper but to get him back for telling everybody Newt and I are together. I smile at the thought. Does Newt want it too? To my surprise I actually find what I'm looking for. I dig the pencil out of my pocket and jog out. I skip down the stairs, out the door, and straight to the box. I put my paper against the cold metal and write a simple request.

Girl clothes. Please!

Newt POV

I swiftly unlock the door to the slammer and step in. I see a crazed looking Min in the corner. He smiles at me. I crack my knuckles. Then I step forward.

WICKED's POV

The people in the control room stare in horror at the cameras. They watch as Newt makes his way toward the slammer. "Don't do it, don't do it." Some whisper. It seems to go in slow motion as Newt slides his key into the slammer, unlocks the door, and steps in. Silence in WICKED headquarters. They watch him punch Min in the face.
"Well that's it then." A strained Ava Paige stands up. "He's exposed himself to the Flare."
