Love is the Cure (Newt x Reader)

9. Nightmares of Fate

Y/N woke up to see a dark sky above her. She groaned in pain as she tried to move any part of her body.
'Where am I?', she thought to herself, as she found the strength to get to her knees, 'The last thing I remember is falling unconscious on the Berg...'. Y/N's E/C eyes flew open as she realised she wasn't where she was meant to be.

She wasn't on the Berg anymore, but she wasn't in W.I.C.K.E.D.'s facility either. No, she was in a place where she could never forget the pain and suffering the place caused her. Y/N scanned her surroundings in pure shock, recognising the vine covered walls and mossy floors. The walls that towered high above her and encased her in a box. And the corridors that seemed to stretch on for eternities...
"No...", she breathed out in panic, standing on her feet now. "No, this can't be. I can't be here, I got out!". The shocked girl started spinning around in panic, not believing where she was.
"No! No! No!", she repeated over and over again. She finally stopped and looked to the dark sky above, taunting her with the infinite space the stars had up there. Tears rolled down her face as screamed out, "Not the Maze!".

Y/N crumpled to her feet and started sobbing uncontrollably, her body shaking from her pain. But a noise other than her crying interrupted her sobbing; a scream of fear erupted from somewhere in the maze of corridors. Y/N became silent and stood once more, confused as to what made the noise.
"Hello? Anyone there?", she tried calling out, but all she received was her echoing questions. Before she could think of anything more, more screams of fear sounded down the corridors. Also, a sound of a mechanical roar bounced off the vine-covered walls and hit her ears. This brought Y/N to attention, the screams sounding deep and rough in her ears.
'Are they... boy voices?', now the screams were becoming louder and more terrifying, causing Y/N to jump back in surprise.
'Could it be...?', she questioned, taking a step forward down a corridor.

With each scream, Y/N took another step, the next step faster than the one before. But one final scream set her running at full pace.
"Y/N!"
"Newt!", Y/N cried out as she took of towards her friends. A mechanical roar, followed by metal clicking on stone, sounded through the corridors, causing Y/N to remember the terrible monsters that roamed the Maze at night. As soon as she rounded the first corner, it was like she was back in the Glade, living a somewhat happy life and just doing her job with Newt. Every corner felt natural, felt normal... 'Like I'd never left...'. So then it got her thinking, did she actually ever leave? Did she ever arrive in Maze B and get out with the girls? Did they ever get to the Scorch and get to the safe haven? Did they actually escape W.I.C.K.E.D.?

'I don't have time for this now!', she berated herself, 'I need to concentrate on helping the boys! It doesn't matter if all that hope was just a dream now... All that matters is helping them!'. So she ran, ran like she used to: like the wind. The wind blew her H/L H/C hair behind her and her feet pounded the concrete corridors as she flew through them. The screams kept getting louder with each stride she took, the screams of her friends making her legs move faster than ever before. With one final turn of a corner, her eyes were met with a gruesome sight.

The Gladers, her friends, her brothers... All dead on the ground, their insides pulled out of them. There was nothing but silence as Y/N walked through the mess of boys, her face concreted into a mortified and disgusted expression.
"No...", she breathed out, looking about at the faces of her friends. She saw the faces of Gally, of Alby, Marco, Armie, Clint, Jeff, of all her Glader friends, their faces forever frozen in terror. Her eyes fixed upon one face in particular, her legs moving her without command.
"Minho!", she cried out as she knelt down to his lifeless body. His deep, brown eyes were wide open and his face was frozen in terror. The E/C eyed girl placed her hand on Minho's cold cheek, tears stinging her sad eyes.
"Minho... Min-", and she collapsed upon her friend, crying her eyes out. Y/N held onto her friend tight, hoping that maybe if she held onto him long enough, that he would come back to her.
