Life In The Glade//TMR Newt Fanfic

Chapter 48 and a half-The other point of view

Minho's POV

It's been two hours since Emmy got locked in the maze. The entire glade is silent, as it always is when we lose someone. A few of the younger, newer, naive boys keep saying that she might make it out, but we know better.

Nobody survives a night in the maze.

Newt is heartbroken. He collapsed outside of the walls, his back against the stone, and he's still sitting there. We tried to talk to him, but he hasn't moved since the doors closed. We all expected him to cry, or scream, or something. But he's done nothing. He just sits there. At first he sat with his head in his hands, but now he just stares at grass and doesn't move. We tried to get him to talk, but it's like he's frozen.

And everyone misses Emmy already. It's weird how she changed everyone. There's no smiling, and very little talking around here. Whether it was her motherly instinct for the younger boys, the way she treated treated us older boys like brothers, or just her overall personality, it's different around here. It's different and I already hate it.

I know she loved Newt, and he loved her so much, but I loved her too. And now shes gone. I was laying in my room, staring at the ceiling and listening to the maze shifting. Waiting, and waiting for the scream that would mean Emmy was gone. But it never came. All that happened was eventually Newt shuffled down the hallway, which meant he had finally snapped out of his trance, and he was at least walking around. He dragged his feet across the floor and had his shoulders slumped over, but he was walking. He turned into his room which was next to mine, and I heard the door close. I sighed and kept listening to the maze, trying not to get my hopes up as the night went on....I still hadn't heard a scream.

{Emmy'sPOV}

I've been running for so long now, I don't even know what time it is. It's so late at night, but I don't know how late. I'm pretty sure there are three grievers after me, but I can't tell. I can't take this any longer. I've almost passed out three times now, and my legs are almost completely numb. I can't stop running. I was supposed to give up hours ago, to let the grievers take me.

But I won't let them.

I'm so close, I've made it this far. All I need is one little nap and I'll be ready to go. So for the past half hour I've been searching for a space in the walls where I can hide. I finally found on, just small enough that I can fit into, and just secluded enough that the grievers wont find me.

Yeah, this is perfect. I can finally get some sleep. Even though it feels like theres a rock lodged in my rib cage, but it's fine. My eyelids are already drooping before I'm even done sitting down.

The next thing I know it's morning. I slept through almost the entire night, and the sky is turning orange from the sunrise. Which can only mean one thing: that I need to get back to the glade as soon as I can. I forced myself to stand up, ignoring the pain in my joints and the bruises on my back, before I started jogging off through the maze again.

(A/N) Sorry that this is so short guys, I had my best friends bday party and Halloween stuff and I've been super crazy busy, so this is the best I can do. Plus this isn't even a full chapter, anyways.......sorry. I'll do better next time.
