Siblings of the Glade

Chapter 30: Newt

Chapter 30: Newt

Newt had often wondered about his family before the Maze. Before everything happened. But him having a sister never crossed his mind. Having a dog maybe. But a sister? Why did that never occur to him. 

But if Sonya was his sister, did she know? Newt adjusted his sitting position against the wall and stretched his back. He opened his eyes and adjusted to the darkness. Still late. How much longer would they have to wait for the doors to open. Would they even open again?

Newt sat in silence until Sonya walked through the makeshift "wall" of vines. Newt closed his eyes shut not even knowing the reason. She sat agains the wall on the other side of Megann and sighed. She quickly drifted into sleep. 

Newt got up quietly and slid out the vine wall. He watched as the sky slowly lightened and sat with his knees to his chest against the wall. Beetle Blades scurried along the walls as he sat in silence. 

Newt slowly drifted off. Once again dreaming of his life before the Maze. 

He was put in a separate room from his Sister. The room had been filled with many other boys. All of various ages and sizes. The boys quieted when the gourd pushed him in the room and shut the door. He heard the lock click and the guard walk down the hall. 

His eyes where wide in fear. One boy coughed and another laughed at the small bit of un silence. 

A taller boy with darkish skin approached him. The boy held out his hand.

"Hi" He said with a grin. "Name is Winston. Well...Thats the name I was given. Not sure what my previous name was. Or my pr-"

Newt zoned out as he examined the rest of the room. His hand still being shaken by the boy as he continued taking.

"You know?" The boy finished. Newt was alarmed and tooned back into the one way conversation. Not really sure what the question was.

"Uuh...sure" He said quietly.

"Oh cool, so you do talk" The boy said.

"He didnt realy have a chance to with you blabbering on and on" A boy said. He sat on the top bunk of a bed in the front. He jumped down and walked over to Newt. 

"Names Minho" He said and shook his hand. 

Newt just nodded. 

"This is the part of the conversation where you tell me your name" Minho said. 

"Oh! of course....My name is....uh....Newt" He said. 'Thats the name they told me to have" He said.

"Ya...all of us have "given" names" He said. "Forced to us by WICKED" 

"What do they want with us?" Newt asked. 

"They want to-" Minho was cut off by a guard who barged in and grabbed Newt by the arm. He walked off with him in his grasp. Newt tried pulling away from the guard but failed. He was being taken again.

Newt shot up and looked all around him. He was just about to get answers. Why at that time did he have to wake up? Newt was frustrated at himself.

He squinted from the brightness an- Wait! Brightness! The sun was out! He rubbed his eyes and shot to his feet. He ran threw the vines and woke up Sonya and Megann. 

"Get up!" He shouted. His accent strong. 

"What?!" Is it another Griever!?" Megann said suddenly alarmed by everything around her as she quickly jolted up and help her knife out" 

Newt looked at her and scrunched his eyebrows. 

"n-no. There isn't a Griever." He said.

Megann shrugged and put her knife back in her strap. 

"Its day. The walls should open soon" Newt said.

Sonya got up from the wall and looked up at the sky. 

"No...Thats not right. The doors would be open by now." Sonya stated. 

'Newt looked up at the sky with her. She was right. The doors would be....should be open by now.

"Maybe they wi-" Newt started but got cut off by the sound of footsteps. They came from the corridor behind the wall of vines.

Newt grabbed the dagger from Megann's strap. He walked quietly to the vines and moved them out of the way. Newts eyes Widened as he dropped the knife to his feet. 

"Minho" Newts gut filled with relief. He ran to his friend and hugged him. 

"The shuck you doing out here Newt!?" Minho shouted but obviously happy to see his friend. 

"I was-....Who's that?" Newt asked as he pulled away from Minho and walked to the girl behind him. 

"I know right! its a girl. Must be shocked huh shank?" Minho said. He presented her like a science project. 

Sonya and Megann walked out from behind the vines and Minho widened his eyes. 

"You found two!?" He said. "lucky shank. I was stuck with the sarcastic one" 

The girl ignored his comment as she ran to Sonya and Megann. Clearly knew who they where....of course.

"Storm!" They shouted.

Newt and Minho walked over to the wall.

"Shuck....Like a beautiful family reunion." Minho said sarcastically. "And what the shuck is this thing" He said gesturing to the vines. 

"Dont worry about it" Newt said. "But the walls aren't opening." 

"Minho's face went straight and cold. He didn't know what to say.  

(Writer: Hello fellow Gladers. Once again super sorry for not posting a chapter. I have been drawing a lot and working on developing a short story called The Wishing Well. I have not yet started writing it but the cover is done thanks to the help from my bootiful sister o mine. 

But do you guys like the name Storm? I wanted it to start with an "S" to have a slight reference to Stiles from teen wolf to show she is supposed to be sarcastic as shuck like him.

But I do hope you liked this chapter in Newt's point of view. The next will probably be in Sonya's point of View.
