Cure or curse?

PART ONE ~ CHAPTER FOUR ~

'How?' Alby asked, 'How is that possible?' 

'Honestly Alby, we couldn't tell you, 'cause we don't bloody know, alright?' Belle replied. 

'You got anything to say, Greenie?' He questioned, leaning forwards in his chair, 'Do you know anything? I mean, the first thing you said when you came up is her name, so you must know something.'

'I don't know anymore then you all do.' Thomas explained. 

'This is ridiculous, he asked for Belle, he knows things that we don't!' Gally exclaimed.

'Oh shut up, Gally!' Belle snapped, 'I asked for Newt when I came up, and I don't know anything.'

'Apparently.' Gally rolled his eyes. 

'I'm not just saying this 'cause she's my sister, but she's got a bloody point there.' Newt added. 

'Belle, you woke up in the middle of the night, screaming the name Thomas before this shank had even arrived.' Alby sighed. 

'I know, I know.' She answered as she watched Thomas's face fill with curiosity. 

'While you were gone on your little adventure, we'll discuss your punishment for that after, Chuck told me how you were before you ran off.' Alby said. 'He said how you were sweating, but you were shaking. He said how you looked confused and scared. It freaked him out, Belle.'

'I know.' She sighed. 'I don't know what happened, alright?' 

'What was it?' Gally asked, his tone lower but it was clear he was still annoyed.

'What was what?' Belle questioned. 

'Your dream, you shank, what was it?' 

'It was just, flashes of pictures. People. Some kind of room, then I saw Thomas.' She answered as she replayed the dream in her head. 'At first, he was saying something, but I couldn't hear it. You were whispering, like you didn't want someone to hear you.' She trailed off. 

'And then what?' Thomas asked softly, intrigued and wanting to hear more. He had moved closer to her, their chairs now touching. 

'And then you walked away, and I followed you. We went into a room and you were panicking, saying how they were coming.' She took a breath, filling her lungs with the warm air that flowed through the room. 'I asked who, but then someone grabbed me. You were screaming for them to let go, saying you were sorry for something?' She was facing him, almost forgetting that she was telling them all what happened, but her eyes stayed staring into his as she spoke. 

'Sorry for what?' He asked her although not expecting her to know the answer.

'I don't know, that's when I woke up.' She explained. 'My mind wasn't working, I was still trying to process the dream and then the next thing I know I was up-' 

'You were wandering around the maze.' Minho interrupted her, stopping her from finishing her sentence. 

She finally turned her head away from Thomas to Minho, who was looking at her with a certain look to say go along with it. 

'Yeah, wondering around the maze.' She repeated, wondering why he had said that, although she didn't question it. She had grown to trust Minho with her life.

The room was quiet for a moment, each keeper trying to understand what it might mean. Belle could feel Thomas's eyes still watching her, but she was looking at her brother, his face full of confusion, she could see the questions forming in his mind. 

'Surely you guys don't believe this?!' Gally exclaimed.

'Gally, sit down.' Minho snapped. 

'No, No!' He screamed, 'You guys don't think that it's weird how this shank is the only girl here and she remembers two people when all we know is our names?' He seemed offended, frustrated.
