Blank Spaces (A Maze Runner fanfic)

Chapter 5 (Lizzy's P.O.V)

I wake up after a dreamless sleep. the sun is just rising and Alice is still asleep. I decide to let her sleep longer and go explore on my own. I walk out of the Homestead and instantly I'm greeted by Newt.
"Mornin', greenie," He says,"You're up early."
I shrug and walk away towards Frypan's kitchen. I met him yesterday when Alice and I got dinner. After eating I walk around The Glade. I run into Potato-Face.
"Wheres Alice?" He asks.
"None ya," I continue walking ignoring his attempts to talk to me. Eventually he grabs my wrist and whips me around.
"I'm talking to you!" he yells
"I'm ignoring you!" I yell back and pull my wrist out of his grasp and hurry away. I go into the forest and climb a tree, cause why not? I sit up in the tree for awhile and it slowly gets lighter. Why are we here? Who put us here? Where is here? How did we get here? The Box of course, a little voice says inside says
"What's with you and trees?" a voice below me says. Minho. A memory trying to break past the glass barrier keeping them out.
"I dunno," I reply, I hang my legs down and swing them backed forth. Minho grins.
"C'mon, Ably is going to give you an Alice the tour," He says.
"Ok," I reply jumping down and landing next to him. Luckily I didn't fall, that would be embarrassing. We walk back to the Homestead to find Newt and Alice. When we get there we find Newt and Alice together. I missed some conversation but Minho pretty much speaks what I was thinking.
"All right love birds, we need to know what she saw," Minho says. Alice blushes at his remark and Newt smiles. She's staring at Newt. "So what was the dream," Minho says again.
"Um," Alice says,"can I trust him?" She asks, directing the question toward me. I nod. She takes a deep breath and is about to start when Potato-Face walks in, pushing past me. Newt's hands still around Alice's waist. He scowls.
"What are we talking about," he says, visible annoyance in his voice.
"Greeny's dream," Newt responds, not making eye contact with Gally. Potato-Face nods.
"As long as she's talking," Potato-Face says with a smirk.
"You tryin' to get punched, shank?" Newt says, his jaw locked. Alice blushes again.
"Newt, shut your shucking mouth," Gally says. Oh no he didn't, I say to myself.
"Shut YOUR shucking mouth, slinthead," Minho interjects. I mentally clap.
"I'm still here ya know!" Alice snaps. Newt nods and so do some of the others. "Like I was saying," She glares at Gally,"at first, everything was dark. Like nothing was there. The world was literally done. I saw this little speck of white light and it grew until it almost, encased me. I was blowing around in there. Yes, blowing. There was a powerful wind coming from, well, no where. The two colors were swirling together making, images. They were horrible. Suddenly, I was somewhere. It was hot and dusty. No plants, no animals, and no humans. That is, until I heard the screams. People were screaming. They were barely people. There clothes were ripped and there skin was a shredded mess of gashes. They kept calling themselves Cranks. And," She gulps. She looks right into Newt's eyes and takes a deep breath,"they kept screaming for me to kill them. That's when I started screaming. If that's why your here?" Newt nods and She begins to cry again. He pulls her into his chest, stroking my hair.
"It was just a dream," he says, but I can hear the distinguished sound of strain in his words. I exchange a confused look with Alice. "Just a dream. Nothing but a dream," Newt soothes.
That doesn't sound like 'just a dream' to me.
