Hunger. Heat. Desperation. All these things I wouldn't let get in my way. I made my way through the desolate neighborhood, making sure not to make too much noise. You don't know if there was something could be hiding. Or someone. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw movement behind the curtains of a house. I ducked behind a bush and waited. I had heard of crazy people around these parts. Welts on their skin. Pulling out their hair. Screaming about a buzzing in their head. The same thing happened to my mother.

I peer between the leaves to see a boy with blond hair and brown eyes standing in the doorway. He stepped out of the house and quietly closed the door behind him. I was curious about this boy. How he seemed so calm and normal. Not caring about the dangers lurking about. I cautiously followed him as he wandered into an abandoned house across from his. As soon as I crept into the house I lost sight of him. "Who are you?" I heard a foreign voice behind me. I froze in fear. "Who are you?" He repeated and walked in front of me. He didn't seem angry. He seemed... Intrigued.

"Y/N." I mumbled. My eyes darted to the door making sure that it was close enough to where I could bolt at any moment. "I'm Sam. Why were you following me?" (GUYS James Dashner revealed at a book signing at Barnes and Nobles in LA that Newt's real name was Sam!) He asks with his deep accent. I stay silent. "Are you sick?" He questions, his voice shakes a bit. I shake my head. He releases a sigh of relief. "Good. If my parents knew there were crazies here they would never let me outside. I'd go bloody crazy locked inside." He says with a grin. I couldn't help but give a tiny smile. "Is there anyone else here with you?" he asks. My smile drops and I shake my head again.

"Oh well that's okay. I'll keep you company. I can't let you inside my house because my parents won't let me but I'll bring you food and we can be friends." He suggests and I nod. I was after all starving and it would be nice to talk to someone. "Great! I'll be right back." says and runs out the door. He returns quickly with his hands filled with bottled water and beef jerky. "It's not much but I hope it'll help." He says and I snatch it out of his hand and gulp down one of the water bottles. He laughs and grins as I eat the jerky. Then he began to tell me about him and his sister Lizzy. It felt nice to have a friend.

5 MONTHS LATER

A long time had passed since I'd met Sam. Every day he would come to the house I was living in and he would give me food and we would hang out. He was all I had and the most wonderful person I knew. I guess you could even say I loved him. One day while waiting for Sam, It started to snow. I guess it was because the weather was jacked up. I saw from the window a black car pull up to his house. I didn't know cars still existed. 3 men and 1 woman wearing masks and special uniforms walked into their house. I watched to see what would happen and heard 6 gunshots ring out within a few minutes. Then I saw the officers emerge from the house with Lizzy and Sam.

I ran out of the house and watched as Sam and Lizzy were being pushed into the back of the car. His parents were nowhere to be seen. "Hey! Stop!" I screamed at them. I stopped in front of the car. "Step aside girl." One said and I glanced at their black guns. At that point I should have moved away from the car but I stood my ground. "We will not hesitate to shoot." another one of them said. Tears filled my eyes as Sam banged on the window. "I go where he goes." I said and pointed at Sam. If he left me I'd have nothing. I didn't want to be alone again. "Just put her in the back with the rest of them. The more test subjects the better." The other officer said getting impatient.

Before I knew it I was behind pushed into the automobile. Sam engulfed me with a hug. "I don't ever want to lose you." He mumbled into my hair. "I don't want to lose you either." I whispered back. So there we were. 3 kids who had no idea what the future would hold for us. How would our lives turn out? Good or bad. Happy or sad? I didn't care as long as we had each other.
