Mysteries (Completed)

A soft side

I didn't get much sleep that night. Once Newt and Minho left I only slept for a couple hours. I look at the watch Minho gave me, the clock blinks 6:23.

There's really only one thing on my mind.

Food.

God, I'm really hungry, those two boys threw me in here before I could eat anything. I sit up and look around, it's finally starting to get a little light in the Glade.

I stand up and stretch, I hear my back cracking from being in a tiny ball all night while laying on the floor. I stalk to the window, peering through the bars of the window. Only one glader is up, Newt. He stands in the middle of the Glade and looks like he's contemplating existence.

Newt's a weird boy.

I move away from the door and sit down against the wall, letting out a sigh. When will they let me out? I just stood up for myself, they shouldn't be blaming because self defense was necessary.

The door swings open and Newt walks in, his crutches hitting the sides of the wall. He grunts durning the process. "Come on, I wanna show ya something." I stand up and follow the blond haired boy out of the jail and to the walls, specifically right next to the closed doors. Wait.... closed doors? "You remember your name yet?" I snap my head toward Newt.

"No."

He nods and steps near the ivy crawling down the walls. He pushes some aside to reveal an incredibly dirty and smudged window. Shuck, the thing looks hideous. Shuck.

"Look into it." Newt commands. I shoot him a worried glance before stepping forward and getting my face close to the window. "Now just wait." I do as told. I wait there for a minutes. 2 minutes. 3. 4. Nothing's happening. Right before I was about to speak up, I see something shift inside. I pull my face closer, quickly wishing I didn't. A bulbous creature comes from around a corner. It's the size of a freaking cow, with spikes and gadgets sticking out of its hideous-like skin.

The creature jumps at the window suddenly. I can't help but let out a scream, despite of the sleeping gladers, and scramble backwards. My foot gets stuck in boy and I fall, only to get caught by Newt. Despite his leg, he threw his crutches down and caught me, trying to balance on one leg. I immediately lift myself up and grab his crutches, feeling bad for making him go through a hassle just to make sure I don't fall. I hand him his crutches and apologize. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

"I had to make it up to you." I had no idea what he meant. "No, you didn't. I don't want you to go through pain." He looks into my eyes. His eyes are literally a perfect brown color, it's gorgeous. "Why do you care so much?" "I don't like seeing people go through pain, especially when they don't need to."

Newt puts his hand in his pocket and fishes around for something. He pulls out a knife, making me accidentally take a slight step back.

"Follow me."

This time, he leads me to a different wall. I look up, this wall has all of the gladers' names written, more like carved, into the wall. Some are crossed out. Newt puts the knife in my hand. "Never let go of this, we all have one on our selves. Carve your name, your a true and official glader here." I stare at him for a couple seconds.

"I don't remember my name."

His cheeks get flushed and he looks down, embarrassed. "Sorry, I forgot." I laugh at his expression. It was just so adorable. We meet eyes again, and for a moment we just stare at each other.

"Thank you." He whispers, not breaking eye contact. "For what?" "For sticking up for me yesterday. Thank you." "No problem."

Then he does something that no one has seen in a while. He smiles.
