The Maze Runner: Newt Fanfiction

Chapter 11

The two Gladers search around the forest remaining in silence, besides a few small jokes to lighten to mood. After a few minutes Newt spots Teresa over by the tree with Thomas. Newt called for Alby, Jeff, and two others to follow him.

"Seriously. How'd you bloody lose her?" Newt asks as the Gladers walk together.

"I don't know! She was there one second and the next she was climbing out the shuck window."

He had one job. Rose thought to herself as she rolled her eyes. They continue in silence until they reach Teresa and Thomas.

"How'd you get here? Med-Jack said you were there one second and buggin' gone the next?" Newt questioned as the group stopped in front Thomas and Teresa.

"Guess he forgot to tell you the part about me kicking him in the groin and climbing out the window." Teresa answered with confidence, surprising Thomas.

"Congrats Jeff, you're officially the first guy here to get his butt kicked by a girl." Newt said as he looked at Jeff with his arms crossed. Newt's remark got him a small glare from Rose saying to be careful what he says.

"Keep talking like that and you'll be next." Teresa retorts. Rose agreed with her because Rose is just as tough, if not tougher than most of the guys in the Glade and Newt knows that but Teresa had no right.

"I suggest you don't touch him." Rose taunts with a smile. Everyone looks at Rose, surprised she'd say anything in response. It was unlike Rose to make any form of threat unless joking. Teresa triggered something in her and she didn't like it.

"I wanna know what's going on. How you know this shank girl, how she knows you." Alby demanded.

"Alby, I swear-" Thomas began but was cut off.

"She ran straight to your shuck-face!

"So what? I know her, she knows me-or at least, we used to. That doesn't mean anything! I can't remember anything! And neither can she!"

"Bunch of klunk." Rose keeps her voice level causing the Gladers to look at her. Thomas the most confused. "You said you weren't saying anything until you talked to Thomas. You bloody know something." Rose says, as if trying to convince the girl to say something, anything. Rose growing annoyed with all the craziness, going around in circles with Thomas and now Teresa. They're the Greenies. They aren't the ones who are supposed to be running the place but that's how it's turning out.

"What'd you do?" Alby stared at Teresa. Teresa didn't say anything. She just stared Alby in the eyes, not budging. "What did you do!" Alby screamed. "First last night, now the sky, and now this!"

"I triggered something." Teresa responded calmly. "Not on purpose, I swear it. I don't know what it means."

"What's wrong, Newt?" Thomas asked as he looked at Newt. Rose was too busy staring Terea and Thomas down to notice how worried Newt became. "What happened?"

"I'll tell ya what happened, shank! Check the time! Doors ain't closing again! Billy, Jackson, lock her in the slammer!" Alby yelled at the two Gladers that had been following Alby around. Rose was relieved Alby was locking her up. She didn't trust her and didn't want Teresa anywhere near the other Gladers.

"What are you talking about? Alby you can't-" Thomas trailed off when he noticed the furious expression Alby held. "But how could you possibly blame her for the walls not closing?" Thomas pushed but lowered his voice, afraid of how Alby would react. Newt stepped up and put on a hand on Alby's chest to keep him away.

"How could we not, Tommy? She bloody admitted it herself." Newt said, keeping his voice calm. Newt agreeing with Alby completely satisfied Rose. It seemed that Newt was finally seeing what she was. Something was up and they couldn't take any risks.
