Different Newtmas (Maze #8)

Chapter 77

NEWT POV:

I bloody hope not. The runners came back and we had some free time before dinner. I decided to lay with Thomas. Minho and Teresa were there as well. Lake ran up to us. "Good news greenie. You'll start running tomorrow" said Lake. Minho smiled like a kid in a candy store. Back when those were a common thing anyway. "Really" Minho cheered. "Yes, Blake will tell you everything you need to know tomorrow. Oh and Ben also promised you would come back alive" said Lake. Thomas and Minho were a little confused. "He did" asked Minho. "Ya, anyway how you feel greenie" asked Lake looking at Thomas. "A little better. It's worse in the morning" said Thomas. "Well just take it easy for now greenie" said Lake. He turned and left. "We really need to get back to our maze" said Thomas. "We will. Hopefully" I said. "Well they have to send us back. After all there are no halfings in our maze right" asked Teresa. "Ya" said Minho. "So there is no one to make sure they don't find the exit" said Teresa. "Okay well let's get some dinner" I said. 

I got up and helped Tommy up. We walked to the kitchen and had dinner. "So tomorrow you and Alby try being a slicer" said Teresa as we sat down. "I'm gonna bloody throw up again" I said. "Well you're not alone" said Thomas. We started eating. "I'm just hoping no one faints like how Lewis did" said Minho. "Image if that actually happened" said Teresa. "Just make sure you don't do anything stupid out there" I said. "Can I even open the exit? It's a different maze" said Minho. "Ya you should be able to. All the mazes are the same" said Thomas.

THOMAS POV:

"Well I'm sure the map is different but the exit to the griever hole should be the same" said Newt. "Hopefully, otherwise we are stuck here" said Minho. After dinner we all went to our hammocks. I laid there and closed my eyes. I am exhausted but I don't sleep. Which is good other wise I might have nightmares. Can halfings even dream? I mean if we can have nightmares I'm sure we can have dreams but that sounds dangerous. I laid there in Newt's arm. He might think I'm sleeping. I did throw up once. 

I also know this won't be for a few months but when the time comes for me to give birth I hope it's during the day. I'd rather have it during the day then at night. I rubbed my shoulder. "You okay Tommy" Newt whispered. "Ya, I'm just worried about everything" I said. "You wanna talk about it" asked Newt. I signed and opened my eyes. "We are still trapped in the wrong maze. We don't belong here Newt. I'm happy to see Ben and Alby are alive but I'm worried about everyone in our maze. Not to mention our babies. We were lucky our gladers didn't hate us but what about this place? We don't know them. Plus we know nothing about parenting and how we are gonna fix all this" I said. "Well I can't snap my fingers and fix everything but we will be okay Tommy. Even if we have to stay here forever we will still be okay" said Newt. "You ever wonder where we are in the world" I said. "Antartica" said Newt. I was shocked. "What" I said looking at him. "All the mazes are built in different parts of Antartica. My dads told me everything. The maze has solar and wind power to create energy and the sky and all that stuff is fake. We also have heaters so we don't freeze our bloody butts off" said Newt.
