Requested: When they first meet, or talking in the glade
...
I tried to open my eyes but was immediately blinded by light. I lifted my hand to cover my eyes. I then realized I was not alone. A skinny blonde boy stood just feet from me. His mouth was slightly hanging open and I saw him say something. My head ached. My ears were ringing slightly and my throat was dry and scratchy. I raised my eyes higher and saw others. Other boys actually, staring down at me. Many looked confused. The blonde came towards me and held out his hand. "Are you okay?" He asked me. I lifted my head and stopped quickly, my hands holding my head. It felt like my brain was tumbling around. Everything ached. "Shes not okay... get the med jacks. Go!" The blonde said. He crouched down and looked at me. "Do you remember anything?" He asked. I shook my head. I looked up at the boys staring down at me. "Lets get you out of here." The blond suggested. He held out his hand and I grabbed it, using it to keep me balanced. "Winston, can you give her a hand?" The blond yelled. I saw an arm reach down towards me. I looked up at his face. He looked young. They all looked pretty young actually. He pulled me out and Newt pulled himself up behind me. I looked around. There was a group of boys here near me and another ground by some giant solid doors. "Newt! What is happening?" Winston asked the blonde. Newt looked confused. "We can deal with this later. Minho is still in the maze!" Another boy yelled. He ran past us. "Alby!" Newt yelled. Newt took off running after Alby. Winston looked over. And we both ran towards the other group. As I got closer the doors looked bigger and bigger. Where was I? Newt was at the front of the group with Alby. I moved to the front and the other stared in confusion and shock at me. "Who's Minho?" I asked Newt. The doors were slowly starting to close. Newt pointed at a figure rounding the corner. "That's Minho." He said. All around me the boys yelled to Minho to run. He was limping and moving slowly on his own though. "Someone has to help him!" I yelled. Some ignored me but Newt turned to me. "No! Only runners go in the maze!" He said. What a stupid rule. Minho wasn't going to make it if he wasn't helped. I took a deep breath and took off running into the maze. Minho had slumped against the wall and had squeezed his eyes shut. "NO!" Someone yelled. I felt hands trying to grab me but I was already in the maze. I ran to Minho, crashing into his chest. "Open your eyes and move!" I yelled. I put an arm around him and struggled with him. He looked so confused and it was adorable. The doors were getting more and more narrow. Almost there, just a few more feet. We squeezed between the doors that threatened to crush us until I finally shoved Minho through and jumped out after him. He fell to the grass with a huff. I fell next to him. Everyone stared at me in shock. I kneeled to Minho. "Are you okay?" I asked. He studied my face. "Yeah... much better now." He smiled. His smiled made me blush. "Step back guys!" Someone yelled. They came to Minho and lifted him up. Minho cried out in pain. "Ankle." One guy said to the other. Newt grabbed my arm and pulled me along to a hut. Several other followed. Alby included. They all sat down and waited with frustrated looks. After a few minutes. Minho came in limping and sat down. "Okay. Clearly we have some things to talk about." Alby said. He stood in the center. Everyone looked at me. "A girl greenie? What is this? Some kind of a joke?" A guy yelled. My eyes widened and I looked down at my hands. "Plus she broke a rule! No one but runners go in that maze!" Another guy yelled. I looked up. "If I hadn't, he would still be in there!" I argued. Alby silenced me with a glare. I looked over at Minho who was staring at me. "I don't care if shes the first girl here. She still broke a rule, therefore she should be punished!" The one guy yelled again. First girl? "You can't Alby! Look at her! Shes scared and probably hasn't eaten in a while!" Winston yelled. Newt agreed. Alby sighed. "Fine. We can talk about this tomorrow. Take her to the med jacks hut with Minho." He told Newt. I got up when Newt did and followed him out quickly. "I'm sorry love." Newt said. I shrugged. "Do you remember your name yet?" He asked. I thought. My name. My name. It started with a... I don't know. "I...I don't know." I answered. Newt patted my shoulder. "It should come back in a day or so. Don't worry." He told me. Newt opened the door for me. "I'll go get you some food." He said. I nodded and went in. "Hi, I'm Jeff." A guy said, he came forward. He was one of the guys I saw helping Minho. The other was still with Minho. "There's another bed over there. Minho is on that one for now."Jeff said, pointing at one of the few beds. I went over and sat on the bed. "So, no name yet, huh greenie?" Jeff asked. I shook my head. "Don't worry. Sleep made me remember mine, maybe you will be the same." Jeff smiled. He opened the door and headed out with a bucket. I barely had time to think before Newt came in. He had two plates of food. "Here you go. Could you let Minho know I brought his?" Newt asked. I took my plate. "No problem. Thanks, Newt." I said. Newt smiled sweetly. "Welcome, love." He waved and headed out. I looked down at my plate. Meat, veggies, something that looked like potatoes. I folded my legs under me and started to eat. I wanted to think of who I used to be but, I just didn't remember. I closed my eyes but, only thing I saw was Minho smiling at me. "Oh hey!" I heard. My eyes shot open. Minho. He came limping in with Clint. "I'm heading to dinner." Clint said, looking between me and Minho then rushing off. "Uh..Newt brought you dinner." I pointed out. He smiled. Oh god that smile. Minho limped to his bed across from mine and grabbed his dinner. We ate in silence before he spoke finally. "Thank you. For saving me." Minho said. I looked up. "Saving you? It would only be for like what, one night if you were in there?" I asked, slightly confused. Minho looked up at me. "No.. No one has survived a night in the maze." Minho explained. I looked at him with shock and curiosity. "Why?" I asked. I had sat my food down. "There are these..things in the maze. We call them grievers. They are huge and dark. They remind me of slugs but with metal legs. Plus a lot quicker. If you get stung by one and you're not treated in time, you go through the change." Minho explained, sometimes shoving food into his mouth. Jeff walked in with the bucket. It was filled to the brim with water. "Scaring the greenie, Minho?" Jeff asked. Minho laughed. Even his laugh killed me. "Just telling her about the maze you shuckface." Minho laughed again. Jeff smiled and headed out the door again. I thought back to what Minho was telling me. I could almost picture the grievers. I ate some more of my food until it was finally gone. I stood up. "Are you taking that to Frypan?" Minho asked. I nodded. I didnt know what else to do with it. "Could you take mine with you?" Minho asked, he looked down at his ankle in frustration. I smiled and picked up his plate. "You have a nice smile." Minho said. We locked eyes for a minute before we both started blushing. "I should take these now." I said, walking out fast. It was cooler at night. "I can't believe there's no bonfire tonight." Someone complained. "Alby said tomorrow." Another guy answered. Bonfire. I'd have to ask Minho about that. I still got strange stares. I quickly headed into the kitchen. "Hey, got my plates?" Frypan asked. I nodded and handed them over. "It was all really good." I mentioned before leaving. I saw Frypan start to smile. I left and immediately ran into trouble. The med jacks hut was right there. But a few guys stood in my way. "Hey greenie. I'd have to say you are the best thing Wicked sent up in that shucking box." One guy said to another. They stared at me like I was a piece of meat. I tried to go around but they followed. "Leave me alone." I said. The guys laughed in my face. "Yeah, I'm so scared." The main guy laughed. "Come with us." He ordered. I shook my head. The main guy came towards me and I walked back until I hit a building. Crap. "Get away from her." A voice said. Minho. He stood just behind the group on a crutch, Winston near him. The guys moved away from me a bit. Winston pushed through and offered a hand to me. I grabbed it and let him lead me to Minho. We headed back to the hut. I helped Minho sit down. "Winston saw the group and grabbed me." Minho explained. Winston smiled from the doorway. "I'll let Newt know. Night." He said, closing the door. "Don't worry. I'll keep you safe." Minho promised. I sat on Minhos bed as we talked for hours. He told me all about the Glade. All about the maze. And all they knew about Wicked which wasn't much. Minho told me about the other Gladers here. He made me smile and laugh. I started to fall asleep and Minho pushed a strand of my hair out of my face. "You should sleep." Minho whispered. I smiled weakly and threw myself onto my bed. Minho laughed quietly, slowly starting to fall asleep as well.
...
I was dreaming. I had to be. I was in the maze. Far into the maze. I could hear a clicking sound, it echoed around. Something grabbed my shoulders, causing me to jump. I turned to see Minho. "Y/N! Y/N run!" He yelled. Y/ N. My name. It echoed around in my head like the clicking sound. Minho was pulling on my arm when I saw a giant figure emerge from the corner behind him. It was huge, with metal legs. A griever. "Minho!" I screamed. He didn't seem to notice it as it closed in on him. It raised a needle like stinger. "No!" I screamed, throwing myself in front of him. I could feel it. The stinger going into my chest. Almost all the way through. I cried out. Tears streaming down my face. "Y/ N!" Minho yelled. He ran to me and the griever raised its stinger again. I couldn't move. My blood was on fire yet I was cold. "Minho!" I cried as I saw the stinger go right through him. He crumpled to the ground, dead. The griever turned to me.
....
I shot up in bed. Tears streaming down my cheeks as I could still see Minho dead. "Greenie? What's wrong?" Minho said. I heard shuffling then I felt hands on either side of my face but I couldn't see Minho in the dark. He got up, huffing at the pain and lit the lantern. He sat on my bed again. I was wiping away tears. "Are you okay?" Minho asked. He looked so concerned. "I saw them. The grievers. I was in the maze and I was stung and.... they killed you." I whispered. Minho looked confused and pulled me to him. I hugged him tightly. "I'm fine. Your fine. Everything is fine." Minho assured me. Y/N. My name. "Y/N. My name is Y/N." I blurted out. Minho wiped away another tear. "Y/N. I like it." He smiled. Without giving it a second though I leaned in and kissed him. Minho kissed back, also not wanting it to end.

Maybe a part 2 coming next :)
