Evasion • Newt

1 | the escape

There are things that everyone has to deal with on a daily basis, mine are a little different. 

I sit here everyday watching all of my friends get sent, one by one, into a place where they know nothing but their name. I sit here everyday and watch them struggle. Fun, right? 

This isn't something I chose to do or be apart of, I was forced into doing this.

Let's just say a very close family member that I used to cherish and look up to is the twisted one running these trials. Yep, my "wonderful" mother is the one and only, Ava Paige, aren't I lucky? note the sarcasm.

She always used to tell me how good WICKED is and how it will be saving lives in the future. 

bullshit

All I have seen while being here is pure destruction.  I trusted her. She was the only person I felt like was on my side and she used me, she used me to get what she wanted.

My mothers workers put me in the lab to keep an eye on the gladers, make sure they don't get too close to getting out of the maze just yet. There are still tests we need to run, well, tests that WICKED needs to run. The only ones left watching this mess go on in the glade is Teresa, Thomas and I.

Thomas is the only friend I have left. I never was close with Teresa, something about her just seems really off to me. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I don't trust her. Maybe it's the fact that she is feeding into everything that WICKED is telling us, or maybe it's because she doesn't really talk to anyone except for Thomas and my mother. She is my mothers favorite, it's extremely obvious that she loves Teresa more than me.

I can't tell what goes through Teresa's mind on a daily basis and that honestly terrifies me. She is so caught up in trying to please my mom and do everything that she asks of her that she is completely oblivious to what these horrible people are actually doing. I have tried so many times explaining to her that we need to stop this, but she refuses to listen. She thinks I'm making it all up because she thinks I'm jealous of her relationship with my mom. I find it hilarious because in all honestly, I could not care less.

Thomas, on the other hand, trusts her almost as much as he trusts me, almost. Although he is aware of what is really happening here, he doesn't try to convince Teresa. You could say he doesn't like confrontation that much, especially since we're the only teenagers left here. Thomas is the only reason I try to be civil with her. If he wasn't here, I don't think I would be able to go a day with just Teresa, I would either go crazy and kill her, or myself. He's the closest I have to a best friend ever since these assholes sent Minho in.

Minho. 

My rock, my best friend, my other half. He's the only reason I haven't gone crazy and tried to kill everyone, because let's face it, one teenager against 40 huge armed men, yeah that probably wouldn't end in my favor. I can't afford to risk my own safety just yet. If something happened to me, there would be no one to get Minho out. I need him back. I can do this. I know the maze like him and Ben do, if not, better than them, so I should be fine, right?

I will do anything it takes if it means my friends can make it out safely, and they will  make it out safely, every single one of them. I will make sure of that.

I have thought of this plan for quite a long time now, but I never spoke of it with anyone. I had to wait until it was perfected and flawless. It still isn't a fool proof plan, but I have no more time for waiting.
