Her Anchor || Newt - Maze Runner

Part 28 - Sensing Something

'Hi, you must be the other girl around here. I'm Teresa.' the girl introduced as I walked inside the Med Hut, sitting cross-legged on one of the beds.

'Hi Teresa, I'm Y/n. Nice to meet you.' I replied curious towards the newest Greenie

'Same to you. I have heard so much about you already.' laughed Teresa as I let out a little giggle

'Has anyone given you a tour yet?' I questioned, remembering her shock arrival. She shook her head, 'Let's go then. I will show you around.'

Teresa stood up, both of us making our way outside the building. I showed Teresa around, the exact same way Alby did with me, and I did with Ace. The tour was filled with questions, answers and laughs as I felt like I found another half of me, even if it was a girl I just met. I knew we were going to be close friends. At the end of the walk around the place I have called home, we returned to the Med Hut in a fit of giggles and laughs.

'So...' Teresa started 'The Glader boys are all kinda cute, who do you fancy?'

'Oh... well I have a boyfriend.'

'OH MY GOSH! WHO!' Teresa practically shouted at the top of her lungs

'Newt.' I answered, smiling at the thought of him

'Oh, is that the blonde one with a British accent.' I nodded and Teresa squealed

'So what about you? Got your eye on anyone?' I asked, eyes narrowing for her answer

'Well, there is someone...' she trailed off

'I'm listening'

Before Teresa could finish her sentence, loud grunting interrupted us, our heads whipped towards the location of the noise, behind Alby's door. I shot up, striding towards the door, before carefully turning the handle and poking my head out from the wood.

Alby was sitting up, legs handing off the end of the bed as he stared into oblivion, he has tears rolling down his cheek with sweat pooling his hairline, his arms sat in his lap, motionless. I quietly closed the door before telling Teresa.

'Alby is up, we have to get the boys.' I said while rushing out the door, Teresa at my heels.

We walked up to the centre of the Glade, where there were a crowd of Gladers forming. As we walked up, I caught snippets of their conversation, or more argument.

'Maybe you should try doing things differently' shouted Thomas at Gally, sweat soaked in his hair from running

'Are we going to completely ignore the fact that unconscious girl recognised you. Huh?' Gally rebutted

'That is not important.'

'Guys.' Teresa shouted trying to get their attention to no avail.

'Well, I think it is pretty damn important if you ask me, and now you found the Grievers home. Are we meant to trust you now? You two are leading us to our deaths.' Gally shouted

'Guys.' Teresa tried again

'You are just overreacting, you just don't-' Thomas tried rebutting

'Hey!' I yelled, cutting off Thomas and silencing everyone 'It's Alby, he is awake.'

Thomas, Newt, Minho, Chuck, Fry, Ace and Gally all followed Teresa and I into the Med Hut, leading them into Alby's room. When we entered, Alby was in the same spot, still looking lifeless. Thomas and Newt rushed to his side, Newt taking a seat next to him while Thomas squatted down beside Newt.

'Alby? You alright?' Newt asked, his deep voice laced with concern

Alby stayed motionless, not replying to Newt

'Hey Alby? Alby, we might have just found a way out of the Maze. You hear me? We could be getting out of here.' Alby's nostrils flared, as more tears threatened to escape. Alby shook his head

'We can't. We can't leave.' he replied softly, his lips quivering, 'They won't let us.'

'What are you talking about?' Thomas asked

'I remember.'

Frypan and I gave each other a silent wide-eyed confused look. No one remembered.

'What do you remember?' Thomas prompted

'You.' Alby replied solemnly as his head moved to look at Thomas, the Glade leaders first movement in minutes. All heads followed Alby's and turned to Thomas, who looked more confused than ever. 'You were always their favourite, Thomas. Always. Why did you do this? Why did you come here?' The room was quick, everyone processing that information

'Still think I'm overreacting?' Gally asked the group. It was quiet until I felt a surge of something inside of me. I don't know what it was, but my head started spinning, I had to get out of there.

I rushed out of the Med Hut as everyone's eyes followed me in confusion as I quickly walked away from the sight. As I crossed the centre of the Glade, the emotions started becoming stronger as my head was searing with pain, causing my eyes to go blurry, but that isn't what worried me the most. Walking closer to the centre, I felt something deeper inside me stir. I felt empty inside, like my mind was a painful void, as emotions got stronger, holding me at gunpoint. I knew something was happening to me. I was sensing something, something that was going to happen. I was sensing death.
