Daughter Of The Glade (A TMR Fanfiction)

Chapter 3: The Chip

A/N: Such a depressing part... so sorry. The feels...

"Here we are!" The woman stopped in front of a large metal door and Madeline took her gaze off of the ground. "I hope you like your new clothes by the way!"

Madeline hadn't even realized she was wearing new clothes. She looked down to see that she was wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt and black leggings. On her feet she wore some plain white sneakers.

"Uh... oh. Thanks. I didn't even notice.. sorry." Madeline's voice came out weaker than she expected. The woman laughed heartily.

"No worries. You've gone through a ton the past few days. My name is Dr. Crawford by the way. If you need any medical help... just call!" She laughed once again and pulled out an ID card from her white lab coat.

She swiped the card on a small card scanner beside the door. A light inside of this scanner flashed green and made a beeping sound before the loud sound of the door unlocking was heard. Madeline started slightly at the sudden sound and Dr. Crawford pushed the door open. She slowly turned back around to face the small brunette. She gave a soft and genuine smile that made Madeline almost smile back.

"Go see your friends." The doctor whispered and pushed the door open all the way.

Madeline cocked her head to the side to peer inside the room. It looked like a large dorm room. All she could see was a few bunk beads.. and her friends.

"Maddy?!" Frypan stood up suddenly with a look of relief on his face. He sighed happily.

"It's Maddy!" Winston, Frypan, Newt, Minho, and Thomas appeared at the door, all in brand new clothing and their faces looked clean for once. Madeline couldn't help but give a small laugh of relief as she looked at the smiling faces in front of her. Suddenly, Frypan had her in an embrace.

"We missed you, sister." He said and Madeline felt tears coming to her eyes. For once... she was happy.

"Yea, we're glad your alright, Madds." A familiar British accent was heard. Fry put his hand on the back of her head and pressed her into his chest, causing Madeline to cry out suddenly as pain shot through her brain. She let go of Frypan and rubbed the cotton band around her head.

"Oh, sorry!" Fry winced. Madeline started laughing and ripped the head band off, throwing it across the room.

"Shucking head band." Everyone started laughing and Madeline heard Dr. Crawford laughing along with them. She turned around to face the doctor, and she gave her a genuine, real, smile. "Thank you." She said. Dr. Crawford smiled and looked down at her ID card. She lifted her gaze back up to Madeline and her smile faded as if knowing something the Glader didn't. "You're Welcome, Madeline." She said. Then she closed the door and was gone. Madeline couldn't help but feel sad that the Doctor had left her.

"How are you feeling? We heard you busted your head during your shower." Madeline was still facing the door when she heard Newt talk to her from behind. She could tell he was probably staring at her wound.

"I feel fine!" Madeline lied in a cheery voice. She turned around and all of the boys were in a semicircle, surrounding her. She tried to smile but Newt frowned.

"We aren't stupid. I know we've only known you a few weeks..but I feel, and I'm sure these other boys feel too, you're our sister. The only female Glader." He said in his firm tone that he uses when he's giving a pep talk. The other boys nodded in agreement.. all except Thomas. He stared at Madeline, a blank facial expression, with his arms crossed. For the second time that day, if it even was the same day, Madeline couldn't read Thomas' face.
