Part 10 - My Third Home

An: Thank you all for 180 reads. I would have never thought I would have gotten this far. Thank you all so much.

Hellhound.

'What? How do you know that?' I asked Frypan, questions lacing itself in my mind

'The bestiary.'

'What the fuck is that?'

'It is basically a guide or like an encyclopaedia for supernatural creatures. It came up in the box about a year ago. It had my name written on top of it, so I decided to read it, I mean I had nothing better to do. It has tons of supernatural creatures in there like werewolves, kanimas, werecoyotes, chimeras, wendigos and of course hellhounds' replied Frypan. I returned to my pancakes which were beyond burnt now. My head was filled with questions from what is a hellhound to why did the creators send up the bestiary? I decided to start with the easiest question.

'Wait, so what is a hellhound?' I asked as I finished flipping the last batch of pancakes.

'How about during dinner, I show you the bestiary. We can have dinner in my hut as you read it. You can ask me all your questions then. Ok?'

'Sounds like a plan.'

Frypan served the Gladers their pancakes with fruit as I went to my hut for breakfast. It hurt not seeing my friends, but I know it is for their safety. I slowly pick at my food enable to shake the loneliness living inside me. I finished my pancakes, returned the utensils and plates to the kitchen and made my way to the med hut for work. The med hut is like my third home aside from my hut and kitchen. I usually spend most of the time talking to Jeff and Clint or bandaging the slicer and builders

'Hey Jeff' I said to the keeper

'Hey Y/n. Good to see you.'

'Good to see you too'

An hour had passed with no injuries, so I figured today as going to be a quiet day. Since it was only Jeff and I in the hut today as it was Clint's day off, we couldn't do a big task, in case something happens, and we don't have enough people. I started getting bored waiting, so I decided to organise the medical cabinets. I started my emptying everything. All the bandages, medicines, syringes, disinfectants everything, it took up most of the benchtop and most of the morning.

'Hey Y/n? Time for lunch.' told Jeff. An hour before lunch is mean to start, I head down to the kitchen to help Frypan out. I arrived at the kitchen to be met with a smell of toast. I opened the door and greeted Fry.

'What are we making today?' I enquired

'Some toasted sandwiches' replied Frypan. I started cooking the sandwiches that Frypan had already made. It was really eerie and quiet in the kitchen, so I glanced at the radio behind me. I turned it on which made Frypan immediately look my way.

'Karaoke?'

'Karaoke' I confirmed

Party Monster by The Weeknd started playing and Frypan and I have never scream-sung so loud. We kept making lunch, Frypan making the sandwiches, and me cooking them. We let the radio keep on playing with songs from The Weeknd, Chase Atlantic, The Neighbourhood, Artemas, Ari Abdul, (G)idle and Enhypen playing (sorry if this isn't your taste of music). Lunch took about 45 minutes to finish so we called everyone to have lunch early. As Frypan started serving people, I made my way back to the med hut to finish organising the med hut cabinets. 

I set the plate onto the armrest of the closest chair. I took a bite of my sandwich and got back to work. First cleaning the cabinet with cloth and disinfectant then waiting for it to dry. As I waited, I finished my sandwich and walked back to the kitchen to return the plate. As I came back, I saw Jeff already in there, doing some inventory records. I quickly greeted him and returned to my work. I reorganized all the supplies and restocked them too. I took a step back and observed my work with a proud look on my face.

'You can have the rest of the day off, if you want Y/n' said Jeff not taking his eyes off his work

'Thank you, Jeff.' I left the med hut and started my walk back to the kitchen. I looked up at the sky and the position of the sun, I could tell it was about 3-4 pm. I turned the wooden doorknob and met Frypan who was sitting at the small table in the little side room. 

'I swear you practically live here' I pointed out

'I could say the same for you' Frypan countered

'Touche.' I sat down next to him, enjoying the peaceful silence. I love Frypan and all, but I was starting to feel lonely without Newt, Chuck, Thomas or even sassy Minho. 

Almost as if he was reading my mind Frypan said, 'You know you can't avoid everyone forever, your boyfriend Newt and Chuck came by earlier today to ask if you were alright. They are both worried sick about you.'

'You know that Newt isn't my boyfriend.'

'I know but you like him, like a lot. In all seriousness, you need to tell them. It isn't that hard Y/n. They will understand, they will support you.'

'OR THEY COULD BANISH ME! DON'T YOU GET IT FRY! I HAVE TOLD YOU THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I COULD KILL EVERYONE! I TOLD YOU MY MEMORY! I WAS ON FUCKING FIRE! I COULD DESTROY THE GLADE! KILL EVERYONE I CARE ABOUT, EVERYONE I LOVE!' I screamed as tears poured down my eyes. I hadn't noticed before, but my eyes were glowing, and I had claws.
