Forget (A Maze Runner/Newt Fanfiction)

14-Voice In My Head

Ky's POV:

I wake up the next morning to Minho and Thomas standing over me.

"What..." I start, groggily.

"Good morning, shankette", they say together.

I frown.

"What did you do?..." I ask, suspiciously.

Minho and Newt share a look and chuckle, together. I sit up.

"What did you do", I growl.

In sync, Minho and Thomas step back and fold their arms behind their backs. I squint my eyes, confused.

"What..."

They smile wider and their teeth become sharp fangs. Their happy eyes morph into hateful slits. Their forked tongues flick in and out of their mouths. Blood begins to drip from their eyes, their ears, their noses. Still in sync, they move their hands out from behind their backs, revealing two severed heads, dripping more blood. One is Newt's; his expression is terrified and I let out a choked sob at the sight of it. The other head is a girl's, and she wears a neutral expression. She seems familiar but I can't remember why.

Suddenly, I scream and sit up.

It's dawn. The sun is just beginning to come up over the horizon. It's peeking out, ready to wake us up with its warm rays.

Whew, just a dream, I think, relieved.

My heart still beats quickly in my chest and my hands are trembling in front of me. I take a moment to slow my breathing, then look at my watch and see that it is almost time for me to get up anyways. I put on my boots and head to Frypan's kitchen.

Frypan smiles when he sees me walk in. He hands me a plate with a fried egg and a piece of stale bread. I frown and Frypan sets a strip of bacon on my plate, winking. I thank him and sit down at one of the picnic tables, devouring the food.

When I have finished my breakfast meal, I return my plate to the kitchen and go to the map room to gather my gear. Minho joins me and we run into the maze.

The day is going as usual - endless running and turning - when I hear, "I wish Ky was here with me right now..."

"HOLY SHIT!" I scream. I recoil and my back hits the vine-covered wall.

Minho turns and sees me, horror on my face, and sprints back to me quickly.

"Ky! What happened? Are you okay?!"

"The voice...there was a....a voice....in my head.....", I say hurriedly.

Before Minho can respond or react, I hear the voice again.

"Oh no. Something's wrong. I feel it..."

I flinch at the speech in my head.

"What the bloody shuck is that...." I ask, looking up at a very frightened Minho.

Minho just shakes his head. "I don't hear anything, Ky."

I decide to try and respond to the strange voice.

"Um...hello?", I think, imagining projecting the words out using a speaker.

I feel a jolt in my head as if the thing speaking had fallen over.

"Who or what are you?"I ask, thinking maybe it didn't work.

This time, the voice responds.

"Ky?!"

I jump up in shock, knocking into Minho from surprise.

"NEWT?!"
