Not just a Girl || Newt

Chapter 28

I got up from my seat in confusion. I felt a hand tug on my wrist making me stop.

"Cas." Newt spoke uncertain. I knew the boys had their suspicion of the guy and this whole place, but I cannot make a scene.

"It is okay." I told silently, I twisted my wrist so I now held his hand and gave it a small squeeze.

I walked up front next to a girl with long brown hair and kind eyes.

We started walking towards the door. The door that would bring us to our new life. But there is no life for me if the boys and Teresa aren't there.

They directed us towards a room, but they held me back.

"What?" I said in a rude tone.

Janson walked up towards me with a smile on his face. He raised his hand towards my face but I took a step back.

"That is right, you don't remember me." He went to take a step back and turned to one of the guards. "Take her to her room."

A guy grabbed my upper arm, but I ripped it out of his hold.

"Don't touch me." I almost growled.

"I really missed you Cassieopeia."

Confused was an understatement. I haven't told anyone here my real name, not even the boys and Teresa know it, except Newt. This is the second time he has called me by that name.

They directed me towards a room full with equipment. A woman dressed as a nurse came in. Without saying a word she put a needle in my upper arm. I looked up to her in confusion.

"Wha-" and everything turned dark.

"Cassie." I heard behind me. I turned around to see a small figure walking towards me. Once they stood before me I noticed they were a few inches taller than I was. They grabbed my small hands in theirs.

"Come this way." The blond girl pulled me towards stacks of lego. I saw my hands move and building something with the blocks. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't move around or even say anything.

I saw a mirror behind the blond girl, I was a kid. Maybe around 8 years old.

Child me looked around the room to see different kids playing, making things.

"Come Lizzy, we have to go." A boy came into view. He looked exactly like Newt, but a younger version.

Did I knew him before all of this?

"Let Sonya play." I told the boy angry.

"Her name isn't Sonya!" He pulled up the girl I was playing with. I stood up and pushed him to the ground.

"You really are the annoying brother." I told young Newt.

Brother?

The vision changed to fast flashes.

I was fighting against a male. I took him down on the ground fast.

I was throwing knives against the wall, hitting bullseye every time.

"When can I play again with my friends?" I heard myself question.

"Never again." A voice said behind me. I couldn't turn around to see who said it.

There came something new in front of my eyes. A new memory.

I saw a beautiful blond woman before me, her hand on my cheek. She had purple lines on her neck and cheek. I felt my young self shake, but I didn't know why.

"Cassie dear." The woman touched my hair softly as I sobbed. "If you get put there, don't be afraid. I programmed them to not hurt you. The creatures will get an electric shock once they try to attack you. Please be safe there."

"Time is up." Another voice was heard.

The vision changed again.

It was the same as before, fighting, taking everyone down. I saw a mirror on the wall and I looked older than in the first memory. Maybe a year or two younger than I am now.

I felt someone direct me out of the training room towards another one. People were talking and walking around. I saw Thomas and Teresa behind a screen working. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't.

"Here are all the subject." The voice said next to me.

I saw everyone I knew from the maze. Some were crossed off, but I have never seen them in my whole life. I did see Alby, Gally, Winston, Frypan and finally Newt.

Subject 5A stood next to his name. Next to it stood something else, not immune.

"Am I immune father." My memory self said.

"Yes."

"Good thing I am not in there then." There was a slight tone in my voice that made me grimace. The voice I had was the voice of a person who think the whole worlds turns around her and no one else.

Don't tell me I was a stuck up bitch. I silently thought to myself.

The memories changed again, all flashes going very fast. I didn't know what I saw, but my brain was filled.

Two were still clear to me.

The woman I saw getting shotted by no other than Janson. He turned towards me and brought me in a hug.

"Why would you do that to, mother?" I heard myself ask him. I almost felt the tears rolling down my eyes. The banging of my heart against my chest.

"I know honey, it hurts me too. But she got the Flare."

"But you will cure her right, doctor dad?"

The memories came more and faster, making my head hurt.

Instead of seeing a normal fight take place I saw a man chained up to a seat.

"Do it." I heard a female voice say behind me.

I saw my arm raise up with a gun in it, pointing straight at the man I was unfamiliar with. I couldn't see his face as he had a bag over it, but his body language told me what I now know.

He was shaking against his seat, the last place he will be at, the only thing he will see is inside of that bag.

Before I shot him.

The loud shot ringed in my ears when another memory came into my view.

I saw myself getting in a fight with one of the guards, people yelling at me to stop. I hit them from left and right until no other than Janson came running into my view.

"I have to do this Cassieopeia." He said with a sad face.

"Why?!" My memory self yelled. "You put me into a deathtrap only to find a stupid cure."

"You have to grow up!"

"This is who I am now, you made me a killing machine and for what?" I yelled back at him. "So I would survive the Maze, so I could disturb the brain waves of those innocent boys, so I wouldn't feel more pain when you killed my mother?"

"I will do anything to find that cure." He touched the soft skin of my cheek. "Even sacrificing my daughter."

"You are no father of mine."

A needle was put in my arm, making my eyes droopy and the memory too. I got put into some sort of tank with water. The weird thing was that I felt the water burning in my throat. It went on like this for a while until everything turned black once more.
