"Aris? Is everything good?" A faint voice whispered from the other room.

We ran back out into the common area, bodies still hanging from the ceiling.

We all turned to see a familiar girl standing on the other side of the room. She wore a blue night dress and had her bare feet on the ground. It was her. It was Y/n.

~•Newt's POV•~

"Yeah Y/n, don't worry. I just had to use the bathroom." Aris said, walking towards her.

"Oh my god..." Minho silently whispered.

I was paralyzed, unsure on how to react. We all thought Y/n was dead after we saw Gray push her into the box and jump down with her. She pushed her h/c hair behind her ear and sighed.

Tommy seemed confused at all of us baffled. He came into the Glade months after she disappeared.

Y/n turned around and looked at us. "Who are you?" She cocked her head to the side.

I rushed up to her and grabbed her hands. She seemed surprised at first, and backed away a bit. Her eyes held so much confusion and too many questions to answer.

"Y/n it's us. It's me. Please, you have to remember me. Newt. Don't you remember? Minho, Alby, Frypan, Winston?" I rambled on, pleading for her to remember.

"I-I'm sorry. I've never heard of those-"

She stopped mid-sentence before she grabbed the sides of her skull and let out a panicked noise. She started to pant wildly. Aris ran to help her stand as she fumbled around.

"The hell did you do to her?!" He yelled to us first. His faced softened as he looked to her. "Are you alright?"

Her breathing began to calm down before she stood up. She swallowed something in her throat before she looked at me. Something in her eyes had changed, as if she had the slightest hint of remembrance.

"Come on, Y/n. You can stay in my room for the rest of the night. We were just talking and-" Aris began.

"I want to stay with Newt," she blurted out.

Everyone's faces changed. I ran over to her and wrapped my arms around her. She might be starting to remember.

"Uh, you sure? I just met them and all. Plus everything has basically gone to hell now," Aris said when I let her out of my embrace.

"They feel familiar. Plus, if they were in my life before the Maze maybe I could remember something," she said.

Aris sighed. "Just stay safe." He looked over at me. "And don't try anything."

Minho walked up to her, extending his hand with a big smile.

"Nice to see you again you shuck face. Glad you're not six feet under like we thought," he said, trying to joke with her.

She gave him a nervous laugh, clearly confused.

"So...what are we talking about?"

"The two mazes. And we all have tattoos on our necks. Let me see yours Y/n," Aris said.

Aris walked over to her and moved her night dress back a bit. Minho nudged my side, trying to annoy the life out of me.

"Y/n L/n. Group B, Subject B17. The Runaway," Aris read.

He gave the tattoo a worried look and glanced up at us.

"Runaway? What that's supposed to mean?" Y/n asked.

We all went silent. A few off us gave her awkward shrugs or looked away.

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure they mean nothing," I said to her.

"Okay..." She mumbled.

There was an awkward feeling in the atmosphere. A thought came to my head. Before I could say it, Minho asked her for me.

"How in hell's name did you get here?" He asked.

Y/n had a troubled look on her face. "I-I'm not sure. I can't really remember. When I woke up, I had been slumped over on the floor. I heard Aris talking with unfamiliar voices and wanted to check on him. I remember sleeping in the bunk beds with Mila. That's all."

Mila was a name I hadn't heard before. Aris nodded, clearly understanding. Minho gave Thomas and I a look as if to say, she's-clearly-gone-insane.

"The Creators must've put you here for a reason. Let's just pretend this is normal," Thomas said.

All he cared about was finding Teresa right now.

"Let's go back into the other room. This smells like klunk," Minho suggested as he walked back in.

We all followed on his heels. I made sure to hold
Y/n's hand tightly. She seemed to hold my hand back, but not like she used to. When all the boys sat down, there was no more room for her. I patted my lap and she shyly sat down. I wrapped my arms around her when she sat on top of me. Her whole body tensed a little. Soon enough, she calmed down a bit and leaned back into my chest as the others began talking.

During the middle of the conversation, a loud noise rang out. The bloody Newbie alarm was wailing throughout the whole building.

(Fun little question. How old do you guys think I am based on my writing? I saw a few other people do this so I figured hEy, why not? Hope you enjoyed the first too chapters. If you think I missed important details, just point them out and I'll fix them when I can!)
