UnExpected (The Maze Runner)

Chapter Two

Lara~

I woke up in the spot I fell asleep in and I was freezing.

I looked around and I had no idea where to go to get back to the hell hole they call their "Home".

I suddenly heard deep breathing and I spun around quickly to see a platinum blond haired boy looking at me almost in a hungry way.

I started taking small steps back when I noticed the unruly look of the boy. His eyes looked red and bloodshot, he was scrunched over and he had purple veins all over his face and arms.

The boy lunged at me and pinned me down. Subconsciously I started screaming as loud as I could and tried to pull away. He started choking me and I felt around for anything that could help me. I grabbed a long stick and hit him across the head with it.

He fell off me and held his head in pain looking at me with a furious expression. I stumbled up and started running as fast I could, which was not that fast. My shirt caught on a branch and he was quickly getting closer to me. I pulled and pulled until finally the branch snapped sending me tumbling down the slope next to me. He stumbled on a log and was sent down as well.

I yelled out the first thing that came to mind when I saw the green grass and some of the buildings they had built. That thing happened to be Newt seeing as his name was the only one I knew.

"Newt!!"

Newt~

I heard a higher pitched voice screaming my name and I shot up from my bed.

"Newt!!"

"Newt, anyone help me!"

I ran outside with a few others and saw Ben chasing the girl that had come up earlier. It was evident he had gotten stung. That's the second sting in 4 days...

I grabbed a shovel and ran up to Ben and the girl and hit him across the head with it while the girl fell down. Ben was knocked out almost immediately.

She got up from the floor and hugged me tightly, crying. I didn't know what to do so I didn't hug her back. I noticed small sobs coming from her and hesitantly wrapped my arms around her.

I looked around at the boys for any kind of help, but no one said anything and they all just stared at her.

To be honest, her hug felt good. It gave me a feeling of warmth and made my chest flutter.

Her eyes snapped open and she quickly let go, leaving me frowning. She looked down at her knee and she knelt down to inspect it.

It was very awkward...

Lara~

What had I done?! Why did I hug him?!

I can't look like I trust them or anything!

No, nothing like will happen again! Even though it kind of felt nice...

I looked down at my knee and saw a large scab. I frowned and I felt tears stinging at my eyes.

I quickly wiped them away as one fell.

Everyone was staring at me.

"What's your name, love?" I heard Newt ask.

I didn't answer and continued looking at my shoes.

"He asked you a question, girl." I heard the dark skinned man tell me.

"I heard." I answered in a small voice.

"Answer it then." He growled at me.

I wiped away another tear that fell.

"I don't know.." I told him.

"Don't know what?" A boy with brown hair who I hadn't seen before asked me.

Suddenly a wave of anger and annoyance washed over me. I just got attacked by some fucking MANIAC and that's all they say!? No condolence? I snapped my head up and looked at all of then with anger.

"My name! I don't know my name! Now just leave me alone before I, before I...." I trailed off my voice getting smaller with every word. I can't really do anything. There's at least 70 of these boys here and they all looked pretty fit.

The brown haired boy gave me a sympathetic smile. I don't need there sympathy nor do I want it.

"Well anyway, everyone back to work! NOW! I said now Logan, I know you heard me!" The dark one yelled. He walked away with all of the other boys leaving me alone with Newt.

All of a sudden, he started yelling making me jump and flinch.

"CHUCK!!" He screamed at nothing in particular.

As this "Chuck" came out I smiled. He looked around fourteen, fifteen. Younger than most of these boys and by the looks of my body, probably the same age as me.

"Hi." I smiled at Chuck.

"It's nice to meet you." I told him.

It was nice seeing a boy my age instead of these older people. Chuck was a bit chubbier but that was okay. He had a mop of curls on his head.

"Uhh it's nice to meet you to..?" He told me, it was obvious he wasn't used to MANNERS.

"This is Chuck, he will help you with sleeping arrangements and other stuff like that." Newt informed me.

I nodded my head as Chuck left and looked back at the floor feeling uncomfortable all over again.

Newt~

"Uhh, Newt?" She stuttered.

"Hmm?"

"What do I look like?" She asked.

I studied her face. She was quite beautiful, for a 15 year old that is. I'm not sure if she is 15 but she looks like it.

She has pretty dark blue eyes, brown hair, and she is very skinny and small.

"Well, you have blue eyes. And brown hair."

She nodded. "Oh."

I grabbed her small hand and felt her tense up and flinch. "What are you doing?" She stammered out.

"Come on." I assured her and smirked.

Lara~

Lara. That was my name. I didn't know whether to tell Newt or not but before I could decide he grabbed my hand. I felt butterfly's in my stomach and I blushed.

"What are you doing?" I asked not coming out quite as confident as I would have hoped.

"Come on." He smirked.

Where will they go?? I dont know either lol!
