"How are you feeling?" The boy from my past dream I now know as Thomas asks.

"I feel fine thank you" dream me snaps.

"Hey, why are you so upset?" Thomas asks.

"I'm shucking pregnant because you turned me in!" I yell.

"I didn't turn you in Vi. I swear" Thomas says putting his arms in the I surrender sign.

"I was caught in the camera room by you. No one else knew. Then they tell me before I'm carted away. This is punishment."

"I swear I didn't!" He thinks for a minute. "Teresa was also there..."

My breath catches. "You think Teresa turned me in?"

"I did what now?" A raven haired girl asks.

"Nothing!" Both me and Thomas say quickly.

"Um... Ok.." Teresa walks closer and sits beside me. "I have something to tell you."

"What?" I ask.

"I overheard Jason and Ava talking. They're putting you in the maze when your about 6 months pregnant."

"What the shuck??" I yelp. I look down at my abdomen. You can tell I'm pregnant but it's not big. My guess is about 3 months currently. "Why would they put me in the maze?"

"I don't know" Teresa says.

I wake up covered in sweat. "Holy son of Griever."

I get up and look at my mirror looking at my bump. "What the Shuck."

I check the time. 4:30. I have to be in the kitchen at 4:40. I quickly change and head out.

"Yo! Long time no seen!" Ian tells when he sees me.

"Has been a long time." I grin.

"Your on drinks again!"

"Got it!" I grab the drink container and move it to the counter and wait for the runners to show up.

"Hi" a person I didn't expect to see says. Thomas.

"Hi" I smile trying to keep my anxiety under control. "Why are you up so early?"

"Alby took me on the tour." He says.

"Oh makes sense. How do you like the Glade so far?"

"It's... Interesting..." He say. "How long have you been here?"

"Like 3 months." I say. Holy moly. I've been in the Glade for 3 months. I'm due this month.

That's when the anxiety kicks in again. How am I supposed to raise a kid in the Glade? Some of these boys are nice but the rest? I would never trust them. Like Clyde. Who knows what some of these guys would do.

"Wow you ok?" Thomas asks grabbing my shoulder steading me. "Help!"

From the othersirw if the kitchen Frypan and Ian come running. Ian gets there first taking my other shoulder.

"You ok?" He asks me.

"Yeah I'm fine" I manage.

"Yeah well fine stands for feelings I'm not expressing." Minho says running up.

"Shut up Minho" I mumble. I push away from Thomas and Ian which is a bad idea because I just about fall over leaning on Ian so I don't fall.

"Sorry!" I yelp as he just about falls over.

"It's fine." I pull away from him and this time don't fall. "You wanted juice Thomas?"

"Uh yeah" he says. I hand him the juice and he leaves mumbling something.

Once he's gone Ian asks me. "You ok Vi?"

"Yeah I'm fine!" I tell them with a reassuring nod.

Minho raises an eyebrow at me. "Somethings up.."

"Like the sky?" I suggest.

He's silent for a moment. "I give up" he walks away then comes back. "I forgot my juice."

I laugh a bit then hand him a cup of juice. He walks off to join his Runner friends.

"Now that their both gone can you tell us what happened?" Frypan asks.

I think for a moment. "Fine. I've been having dreams. I think there memories but Newt doesn't think so.

"Memories..?" Frypan asks.

"Can you tell us about them?"

"Yeah." I say. I tell them about the four dreams I had.

"That's... Interesting..." Frypan says when I'm done.

"Wait. What if the one where your being taken to the punishment." Ian says.

"It's a possibility." I admit.

"So Thomas... Is bad news..?" Frypan asks.

"I don't know. I wish I did but I don't." I say.

"Well.. Ok" Frypan says.

"Can I get my food now?" A voice asks. We turn and it's Gally. He lowers his voice. "I don't trust Thomas either."

"Really?" I ask.

"Yeah. When I was in the changing I had dreams... Thomas was there. I don't trust him."

"Glad we're on the same page." I smile.

"Can I have my food now?" Gally asks.

"Yeah." I give him his juice. He gets food from Ian and Fry then he leaves.

"We could ask Thomas" Ian suggests.

"I'm going to assume he lost hid memory like the rest of us." I say.

"Oh yeah.." Ian says. "Nevermind"

"We'll figure something out." I say. "Maybe I'm completely wrong."

"I don't think your wrong." Frypan says.

"Thanks Fry." I smile.

"Of course." He says. "Now you need to eat."

"Yes Sir" I take a plate and a cup of juice and start to eat.

"Anything interesting happen?" Frypan asks.

"Not of the top of my head." All of a sudden the Greenie alarm goes off.

"What the shuck?" I ask.

The three of us leave the kitchen and head to the box where a huge crowd already is. I can see Chuck talking to Thomas he looks a bit agitated.

I walk over to them. "You guys good?"

"Yeah we're fine." Chuck says. "Come on lets go see what's going on."

Newt is already in the box when he stands up his face is pale. "No way.."

Lots of people start to talk. Confusion on everyone's face.

"Hold on!" Alby yells everyone falls silent. "Just hold on!"

"What's wrong?" Someone tells.

"First a girl... Then a child.. Now two Newbies in two days." Alby says
"Now this.." he turns and looks at me, Chuck and Thomas. "What's going on?"

"How the Shuck are we supposed to know?" I snap. "What the shuck is going on?" I turn on my heel to walk away.

"How am I supposed to know?" Thomas snaps. "What's down there?"

"A girl."

I turn as fast as physically possible. To face Alby. "What?"
