The Accident

*This chapter is dedicated to LauraKay2003 . She is a lovely person and you should totally check her out! Thanks so much for supporting me, this one is for you <3*

She had a fight with the universe and, no surprise here, the universe won. She was bloody, bruised. She lost everything, but still, she got up, extended her a hand for a shake and said:
"Same time tomorrow?"

That night I didn't really sleep. Maybe it was the adrenaline from that crazy stunt I pulled earlier that day, or the fact that I had slept just a couple of hours ago, or simply that I had had just about enough of those crazy 'dreams' with that Thomas boy. Yeah it was one of those... definitely not that I just couldn't stop thinking about the look of defeat Newt had on his face when I stood against him and the others. And it certainly didn't matter that he gave me the cold shoulder when I tried to talk to him, before bed. No, that didn't matter, why would it?
Even with all those thoughts running through my mind I managed to somehow fall in a restless but not dreamless sleep.

Dream
This time there was no boy and no young Luna. What I was looking at were two serious looking adults with white lab coats talking. The man, a very ugly and unpleasant looking being, was shouting at a woman who seemed very tired and fed up.
"We can't let her do whatever she wants!" He shouted, spit flying from his mouth.
"We don't really have a choice Randall. The girl is in the maze and she became a candidate. We can't control her like the others, so we might as well consider her a variable" the woman calmly answered.
"Oh trust me I can control her, I can control her but you never let me! You always say she is too valuable to lose..."
"Because she IS valuable. They would be crushed without her, they would refuse to work for us anymore, not to mention that... thing she does. It's not a cure but it might be as close as we get" the woman now raised her voice.
"Yes we will sing a lullaby to the cranks and run of to the sunset, hand in hand. This is the real world Doctor. Our work is a matter of life and death, not for one person but for all of humanity. And the girl is too unpredictable to keep around"
"If you physically touch her you answer to me. Understood?" She said turning her back to leave.
"Yes Ma'm" he said with a smirk that she couldn't see. "I won't touch her"
And with that he turned to his computer and opened some files.

End of Dream

Newt's P.O.V.
Dream
I was in the Glade looking around the empty field. 'Where is everyone' I thought turning my head left and right trying to see if anyone else was around. I caught a glimpse of a silhouette running in the woods. "Hey, who is there?" I shouted.
The figure ignored me and kept running in the deadheads, so I run after it. My feet seemed to know where they were going because I soon found myself face to back with the mysterious but very familiar person.
"Are you all-right mate?" I asked taking a step towards the person and putting a hand on their shoulder.
"I don't know, are you?" The person turned around and I realised that he was me. But he wasn't exactly me, if that makes any sense. His eyes were bloodshot and his face had cuts and burns everywhere, pieces of hair missing. I took a step back startled. "I'm clearly not..." I said realising that this is not a dream but more like a nightmare.
"Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! But it's not the appearance you have to worry about, it's the brain" other me said.
"My brain is just fine, thank you very much." I said turning around to leave.
"Oh is it? Ever since Nick died you've been okay? You haven't been stressed? Haven't been thinking of putting an end to all this? Don't you want to put an end to this torture, don't you want to be free? And don't try to lie to me, I'm you after all" He said coming closer to me.
"No. I was thinking about it, but now I... I don't... not anymore..." I said shaking my head.
"Because of her? Because she smiled at you? Because she pitied you? But let's be real, she doesn't care about us..."
"Yes she does..." I said trying to reassure myself... she cares I know she does...
"NO, she doesn't. She probably cares more about Alex, she was willing to stand against us for him"
"She was trying to protect a human life... it's not her fault..."
"Yes it is. She is manipulative, she is evil, she doesn't care, she never will, she just wants to use you..."
"No..."
"Yes. So put an end to it, before she can, before she gets the chance to use you..."
"No..."
"You've been thinking about it anyway... It's going to be better, easier. You will be free again!"
"No..."
"Yes"
"No..."
"YES"
"Yes..."
