Digging Deeper (Newt x Reader TMR Fanfiction PART 2)

chapter 3

"Do you mind telling me what that was for?" I whispered at her as soon as she removed her hand from my mouth. "And what you're doing in my room at 3 in the morning?"

Mabel is quiet for a few minutes before she said, "I have to show you something. And I couldn't trust this with the other girls."

"Show me what?" I folded my arms across my chest, getting impatient.

"Follow me," she said walking over to the vent and pulling it off.

"Follow you in there? I don't think so," I said in a snobby way. I didn't want to be rude to her since she trusted me, but she was rude to me the other day. Thought I would give her a taste of her own medicine.

"You don't have to come," she said crawling inside. "But I know you will because you're curious." And then she was gone. I scoffed. Me? Curious? She was right. I do have a curious side. I crawled through the vent after her.

I crawled on my hands and knees, following Mabel as she made left and right turns. She came to a stop in front of hole that looked down at a hallway.

"What is it?" I asked, still impatient.

"Just wait," she said. "You'll see in a second." We waited for a few minutes in silence, looking down until we saw a man and a woman wheel a bed past. It looked as if a human body was underneath a sheet, like what they do when someone is dead. We watched them lose control and crash into the wall.

"Careful!" the girl whispered at the man. "We can't let the other girls hear." They wheeled the bed in front of a door and used a key card to enter, pushing the bed inside first. I looked up at Mabel, confused.

"I hide up here a lot," she whispered. "They started bringing bodies into that room tonight. All of them looked like that as if they were dead. All of them are girls."

"Okay, so what happens in the room?" I asked.

"I don't know," she replied. "The vents don't go in there."

"So, we need a key card and then we can go in," I said looking back down. "Okay, I can do that." I turn around to head back to my room when Mabel grabbed my arm.

"Wait what?!" She exclaimed, a little too loudly. "You can't do that."

"Why not?" I asked. "You want the same answers that I do, and that room will give us them. You don't trust Janson, do you?" She shakes her head no. "I don't either. Which is why we need to get inside that room."

"Okay," she sighed. "I guess you're right. You really think you can steal a key card?"

"I don't know if I can, but I sure would love to try!" I said, heading back to my room. The twists and turns remind me of the one time I ran inside the maze, following Thomas towards the way out. Thomas. One of my closest friends and who is like a brother to me. How could I forget him?

I crawled out of the vent with Mabel following behind. She tells me good night before leaving. I change into comfier clothes and collapse onto my bed, thinking about what could be behind those doors and who the bodies could be. I let sleep take over once again and dream about Thomas.

"Don't you dare read that!" I exclaimed, trying to steal a piece of paper from him. "Thomas! Please don't!"

"Why not, Y/N?" Thomas asked trying to push me away, so he can read it. "What are you hiding?"

"Nothing! Just give it back!" I am close to grabbing it from him when an Asian boy takes it from Thomas. Minho.

"Ooh is this Y/N's request for the box?" He asked, unfolding it and reading it. His eyes widen at the words and he cleared his throat, feeling awkward. "Oh, uh, I'm sorry." He reached his hand out to give it back to me when Thomas steals it from him and reads it. His eyes widen as he finishes reading and folds the paper in half. I steal the paper from him, feeling my cheeks get red with embarrassment. I had written 'tampons' as my request for supplies to be sent up in the box.

*END OF CHAPTER 3*

I had to add the ending part because I wrote this when I was tired, and I always have weird thoughts when I'm tired. Especially since I always wondered what Teresa does when she gets her monthly friend in the glade when reading the book...don't mind me...
