Girl In The Glade/ Newt fanfiction (The Maze Runner)

Part 27

Just as we stepped out of Homestead we spotted John. He was sitting on the ground with his head buried in his hands. He was constantly yelling at the other boys around him but I and Minho were too far to hear what they were talking about.

We walked up to them.

"What happened to you, John?" Minho asked him.

"Well, umm... This dude right here," he said and pointed to one of his friends," accidentally pushed me little bit too hard so I fell down and hit my head, as you see."

It sounded true to me but Minho was skeptical about it.

"Yeah, sure... Where were you guys at the time when the newbie arrived?" Minho asked

"We were doing some extra work this morning. We usually aren't there anyway," John said.

He's either a really good liar or is telling the truth.

"That's a good point," Minho said and looked at me.

"What happened? Why are you even asking us these questions?" Andrew asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well, we found Elle dead," Minho lied. "Someone had killed her and we're going to find out who."

"Oh, that's horrible. I'm so sorry for her," John said making a sad expression.

"Okay, we need to go now. Got some investigation to do," Minho said and we went away.

We sat down at one of the tables next to the Homestead. There was no one around us.

"You see? I already said that the girl was lying," I said.

A shocked expression speed across the Minho's face.

"What?" he said, " Geez, Newt. Sometimes you're just so oblivious it blows my mind."

"What do you mean?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Didn't you see how almost all of them shivered when I said that Elle is dead? I mean... Dude, they definitely have done something."

"But John said..."

"John," he cut me off, "is just hella good liar. Why would he be sorry for her? Just a few days before he punched her and you know... The punch could have killed her."

I sighed.

"I guess I just can't think clearly right now. I can't think about anything but..." I said but he cut me off.

"...but Elle. I know. I'm worried about her too. Dude, you need to get some rest. We can't do anything now anyway. We can't put them in the Slammers before Elle wakes up and tells us what really happened. We'll need to have a Gathering."

"Okay," I sighed, "Imma go now."

And that's when I turned and walked away. Before I went to my room I wanted to check on Elle so that's what I did.

Med-jacks had bandaged her and took care of her and then put her in her room.

She was still unconscious. Her face was as sad and hurt as it was before (if not even worse). It made me very sad seeing her like that. I couldn't even imagine what pain and trauma she had gone through. The pain was definitely worse than it was when I hurt my leg.

I took a chair, placed it right next to Elle's bed and sat down. I took a loose strand of her hair out of her face and then gave her a kiss on her forehead.

For a brief moment, it seemed like she smiled. A single tear ran down my cheek. I wiped it away.

Elle

I didn't feel anything, hear anything, smell anything, see anything. I floated in the darkness. It felt bad. But I guess it was still better than feeling all the pain again.

Suddenly in that total blackness light appeared. I couldn't close my eyes or squirm or shield my eyes from the bright light so I got blind for a moment.

When my eyes finally adjusted to the light I saw a figure standing in front of me. The person walked closer. It was Newt. I wanted to get up, run up to him and hug him but I couldn't move. It felt like I was glued to the ground.

From in behind him even more people appeared. There was Chuck, Minho and some of my other friends. They all made a semi-circle around me.

Then different tools appeared in their hands. Most of them really sharp but some of them similar to baseball bats.

I shivered. Something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong with them. Their eyes were wild and it looked like they were slightly shaking (definitely not from fear). Black and green veins covered their body. Their mouths were slightly open and a black liquid was dripping from them. Some boys were smiling but it wasn't a friendly smile. Their teeth were all black as well.

"You, little bitch," Newt said.

"Newt? What's wrong?" I asked with fear in my voice.

"It's the endgame," he said and smiled.

"Let's kill her," Minho said the same black liquid coming out of his mouth

There was silence for a moment. I didn't understand what was going on.

Then there was a loud almost inhuman yell and everyone started running in my direction.

Just before they reached me I woke up in my room screaming. I had sat up and my eyes were squeezed shut.

"Elle, Elle," I heard someone say.

I couldn't stop screaming. Everything I had seen was just too horrible. My loved ones had gone crazy and wanted to kill me. Everyone hated me. No one needed me.

I started crying still squeezing my eyes shut. I buried my head in my hands. Only then I felt the unbearable pain in my back, then in my head, in my legs, my hands, my everything. That made me scream even more.

I couldn't breathe properly. I just took short and fast breaths.

"Elle, Elle, are you okay? Oh, my... Elle, what's wrong with you?" the person said.

After a moment, I finally managed to open my eyes. I looked at the person next to me. It was Newt.

He reached for me.

"Elle, I..." he said.

His hand was now so close to me.

"No," I yelled cutting him off, "don't touch me."

I tried to back away but I couldn't. It felt like my body wasn't working as it must have.

"Elle, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Leave me alone," I yelled at him.

"But Elle..."

"LEAVE. ME. ALONE." I yelled again.

"I ain't going anywhere," he said and crossed his arms sitting back down in his chair.

"Well, then I'm going," I said and got out of the bed.

It was a bad idea. Just as I stepped out of the bed I collapsed to the ground with a loud crack. The pain worsened and I started crying more.

Newt ran up to me and tried to help me somehow.

"Newt, no," I said through sobs, "s-s-something is wrong. G-get Clint or Jeff."

"Okay," he said and quickly left the room.

Heyy, guys. I finally posted. Hope you liked this part. You guys are amazing. Love you. Bye.
