Starting Over (Newtmas)

chapter 5

A/N so to clear up any confusion y'all might have, Nothing after the first book happened. In the maze they were trained to be hunters. You will see Aris though because before they were released the two mazes met and decided they should stay in contact some as well. Mainly because I like Aris and wanted to put him in here. So I hope that helped some. If you have any questions just ask, I'll be happy to answer them.

Eventually, the hunters arrived at a little town in Arkansas. They found Aris's house pretty easily. When they arrived, they were greeted by Frypan and Aris.

"About time shanks." Frypan greeted them as he clapped Minho on the shoulder.

"Sorry shuckface, we had a little hold up with Thomas's old life." Minho replied.

"So you found them then?" Aris questioned as they walked into his little house. When they first walked in, there was a living room with a medium sized TV and old looking chairs. Pretty good for not having much money.

"Yeah. They sure were upset I couldn't remember them too." Thomas answered as he followed Aris down the hall to a room with two twin sized beds and a dresser. He set down his and Newt's bags, since they would be sharing a room together.

"I can understand that." Aris answered. Thomas hadn't even realized they were talking telepathically until Newt came in.

"Why are you guys looking at each other like you just fell in love?" Newt asked with a hint of jealousy that Thomas could easily sense.

"Awe, Newt, don't worry, you're still my one and only." Thomas whispered into his ear as he wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's waist.

"Okay, well, um, i'm just gonna go help Frypan with lunch." Aris awkwardly made his way out of the room, as Newt wrapped his arms around the brunette's neck letting his fingers tangle into Thomas's hair. The two let out a giggle as they watched him stumble out of the room, hitting his shoulder on the door frame as he left.

"What a shank." Newt giggled as he tuned back around to rest his head on the brunette's shoulder, "We can't even hug without him thinking it's awkward and having to come up with an excuse to leave."

"At least we're alone now." The slightly shorter boy replied with a smirk before kissing Newt.

"True." Newt replied between breathes after they broke the kiss. Newt went to lean back in before they heard Frypan yell that lunch was ready. Reluctantly, they broke apart and headed to the kitchen holding hands.

The kitchen had white walls and a white tiled floor. There was a table towards the far corner to the right and all the kitchen necessities to the left. They all sat down at the table where there were sandwiches sitting in a pile in the center. "So what's the plan?" Minho asked as they started eating.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Scott wasn't worried the next day when he didn't see Stiles. After yesterday, the Alpha figured the other boy was probably inside with his boyfriend watching TV. So he went about his normal day: managing the pack, doing homework, and going to lacrosse practice.

The next day he was a little worried though. He knew Stiles would never be able to stay inside this long, even if he's not the same Stiles as before. After figuring that he probably just didn't see the teen, he decided to ask the rest of the pack. He was alarmed when everyone said they hadn't seen the boy though.

He knew where the motel they were staying at was, so he headed there to check it out. He may or may not have searched for Stiles one night to make sure the boy was okay after one of the awful meet ups he'd had with his past.

He walked up to the lady behind the desk, figuring that would be the easiest way of getting the information he wanted. This way, if the hunters were there, they wouldn't gut him like a fish for hunting them down.

"Hello sweetie, how can I help you?" The lady greeted nicely.

"I was just wandering if the people from room 250 were still here." Scott told her.

"Let me check." The lady started typing away on her computer before turning back to the boy, "It says here they checked out two nights ago." Little did the lady know she just crushed the alpha's hopes.

"Thanks." He gave a fake smile before heading off to walk around and think. Sadness and anger filled him. Stiles claimed they would be around a little while longer. He said they wouldn't leave yet. He lied. 'Maybe he had to leave.' a thought entered his head, 'Maybe he had no choice. Hopefully he'll be back.' That's all the true alpha could do at this point, hope that Stiles would return safely.
