The Girl In The Maze

Maxx

The Maze. The only thing I call home. The maze was the place I was trapped in, no way out. The place where I was the only girl. Where I would get pushed and pulled around like an old rag doll and get called name's like weak and useless. No one loved me. No one cared about me. But, he did. Newt. He was the only one that did. He was by my side all the time and helped me at my worst.
When I was with him, I was calm and collective. When I was with him, I was safe. When I was with him, I had hope. Hope that we would get out of here. He would always tell me that. " Maxx, I promise that we will get out of this shucking maze. I promise I'll keep you safe". I would smile when he finished, but that smile would always disappear. "Maybe...."

"Hey Maxx, can u get some fertilizer", Newt asked. "Sure". I grabbed the bucket and made my way to the forrest. The forrest gave me the creeps. When ever another glader died, we would bury them where the dead heads were. And thats what scared me. I walked around the forrest, stomping on sticks and leaves, listening to the 'crunch' sound they made. Sometimes I would scare myself cause of how loud of a sound they made.

As I made my way towards where the fertilizer was, I saw the dead heads. I went over to them and saw one named "George". I was about to touch it when I heard a loud 'crunch' behind me. I quickly turned around and saw a glader, he looked familiar. "Ben?", but he didn't look like the Ben I've seen. He had bloodshot eyes, blood all over his mouth and arms, veins sticking out on his neck, ripped up clothes. I took a step closer, and he pounced on me. I screamed, hoping that someone would hear me. We both fell on the ground, hitting all the leaves and sticks. His nails dug into my wrists. I screamed, loud. Be tried to bite me but I kicked him off and started running. I wasn't very fast, but I made it out of the forest and into the glade. I started yelling " Help! Help!". Ben caught up to me and pounced again. I screamed. I struggled to get free but his grip was too strong. I looked over at my wrist as blood stained them. I started seeing black spots everywhere and my vision giving out. I could see very little things. I saw a boy with short hair and a tank top on hit Ben with a spear. The boy picked me up and took me somewhere. Probably to the med-jacks I was guessing. Once we got there, the boy put me down on, what felt like, a bed. I heard a little sobbing and a "Don't worry Maxx, your gonna be okay. I promise. I promised I'd keep you safe-". That was all I heard until I could only see black. But, before I went into a deep sleep, I managed to say, "Newt...".

~~~~~~

I woke up in the med-jacks. I tried to get up, but my back hurt. Must have been all the leaves and sticks I landed on. I layed back down and turned over to see a sleeping Newt. He looked so cute when he slept. His dirty blonde hair barley falling off his face, his quiet little snores that he makes. I just wish that... nevermind. It would never happen, he doesn't like me. Right? I reached over to his hand and put mine on his. His hands were so warm and soft. Of course they were bigger than mine, but I didn't care. Suddenly he woke up, which scared me so I took my hand back and acted like I didn't do anything. "Maxx! Are you ok?! Are- are you hurt?!", he got up and a sat on the side of the bed. I looked at him in the eyes. I could see fear in them. "Newt, I'm fine." "You sure?", I nodded. He got up and came over to me. He asked,"Can you stand?". I looked down and then at him again, "I can try-". He quickly came over to me and helped me up. I grabbed a hold of his arm. I looked up at him, he was already staring at me. I blushes like crazy. I looked down so he wouldn't see me blush, but I guess I was to late cause Newt pulled my chin up so I could look at him. I smiled. So did he. I leaned forward but, I tripped on something and we both fell down. I opened myself eyes to see a shocked Newt. I laughed. "What's so funny?", he asked. I shook my head. "Nothing", I got up off of him and helped him up. "Thanks", he said. I nodded my head." Well, I should be heading out, got work to do in the garden's. You stay here and get some rest until you feel better-", he didn't look up at me the whole time. "Um, sorry about earlier-", I stopped him. "Its fine, I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention. You should go now-". He nodded his head and left.
I sighed and and later back down on the bed. "Ow-", I lifted up my shirt where you could see my side, and what I saw is something I thought I would never see on me.....

Ben, had bit me.
