Hi guys, I know it has been a while. A lot has happened over the past few weeks. I have been travelling, studying and taking a lot of test. Talk about a crappy couple of weeks huh?

But I think I am back to regular updating and there will be a new chapter for you guys every week on a Friday just as normal again. Tonight I am going to give you two chapters so we are caught up on the weeks that we have missed. 

These next few chapter I had a lot of fun writing and I think you will enjoy reading them just as much as I did writing them. You will get to see a more to Elizabeth's character in these chapters.

SPOILER WARNING: This chapter contains spoilers from the Death cure books so if you haven't read the death cure I will add *~*~*~* Where the spoiler begins and where it ends. Hopefully that will stop those who don't want to know what will happen in the next one.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter my Shanks.

"Try again," Teresa told her best friend.

"I can't. I've tried and I've got a massive headache," Elizabeth complained.

The girls must've been no older than 12.

"You can, you wouldn't have been given the Chip if you couldn't. Now, take a breath and try again," Teresa reached over and grabbed Elizabeth's hands.

"Even if I can, how am I even going to use it in the Maze? I won't remember you," Elizabeth asked.

"Elizabeth."

"You'll remember me. Even after you've had the Swipe. Things will start coming back to you," Teresa explained.

"Lizzy."

Elizabeth looked at her friend. "There's only so much you can do without getting caught."

"Then I will do what I can without getting caught."

"Then I will do what I can," Teresa smiled.

Everything started to go black as I felt someone nudging my arm.

I fluttered my eyes open and saw nothing but total darkness. I suddenly had fingers in front of my face, removing the darkness. I then noticed it was hair in front of my face.

I swallowed before looking up and seeing Newt kneeling beside me.

I looked around and saw it was the dead of night and I was still in the kitchen.

Had I fallen asleep?

I turned my attention back to my brother who hadn't moved from his place.

"Hey, you fell asleep and Alby told everyone to call it a night. Come on, I'll take you to bed," Newt helped me to my feet.

I followed him back to the Homestead where he lead me back to my room.

I opened the door and stepped inside, the smell of wood filling my nose.

"I'll leave you to get some rest," He told me.

I nodded before he pulled me into a hug. "Wake me if you need anything."

I smiled to myself before pulling away.

I honestly felt like I could fall asleep standing up. My eyes were drooping and my limbs felt like they weighed a ton.

Newt left and I crawled into bed, pulling the sheets up to my chin.

My eyes soon sealed shut and I fell back into another memory of my past.
