Amaurotic \\ The Maze Runner [Newt] [1]

Chapter Seventeen

[ P R E S E N T ]

The second her feet hit the grass and leafs on the ground, her stomach rumbles, she couldn't seem to remember the last time she ate. But, all she knew was, she was hungrier than usual. She rubbed her belly, with a sigh of disbelief of how uncomfortable she felt.

Thomas seemed to notice her discomfort, "What's the matter?" He looked back at her.

Nova shook her head, "Nothing," She groaned. Adding, "I'm just really hungry, is all." She let out a light breath chuckle.

"Oh," Thomas nodded. "Well-" He was then cut off.

"You've met Frypan, right?" Nova asked.

Thomas tried to remember, it was quite hard, considering he was still new in Glade. But, he nodded, to not seem so lost. "I think... So..." He wasn't too sure about it, though.

Nova grinned at him, which caused him to smile back. "Come," She motioned towards her. "Follow me, Greenie." She gave a small friendly wink.

Thomas wasn't too keen about Nova just yet, he was still curious about her vicious ways towards him. Despite her clear eyes, and her not being able to see anything but waves of energy and movement. Her grin seeming to match a mischievous serpent - or a slithering snake, even - he found her interesting. And in a way, strangely attractive. He could now see why, Newt was and still is attracted to her.

Nova was a very mysterious, strong, and seductive female, that knew how to overtake dominance if it were to please her. A female who's not afraid to get down and dirty, to help the people she loved.

Every Glader had their favorite feature about Nova, and now Thomas does;

Minho - Nova's witty attitude.

Gally - Her fierce and strength.

Frypan - Her not taking any Klunk from anyone.

Winston - Her eyes - Though, not much color, he found them quite pretty, strangely enough.

 Chuck - Her smooth cheek bones.

Newt - Almost everything about her.

Thomas - Her seductive grin.

And so much more.

Enough with the chit chat, Thomas thought.

Nonetheless, Thomas followed close behind Nova. As she led him out of the Deadheads, and into the open, the field, the glorious middle of the Glade.

Stepping foot into the kitchen, Thomas - being behind Nova - saw a boy with dark skin, at what looked to be a stove, holding a pan in his right hand.

Nova cleared her throat lightly, notifying the cook that they were there with him. He looked back to see her and a boy next to his door. "Oh, hey Nova!" He greeted.

Nova gave a small smile, with a light nod. "Have you met the newbie yet?" She asked.

"I can't quite remember, I've been a bit busy this week," He continued. "Can't keep track of what I keep in this shuck mind of mine." He laughed.
