The Missing Something (THE MAZE RUNNER FANFIC)

Chapter 2

NEWT  

Newt, and the other Keepers sat on their chairs, taking turns and giving their opinion about the girl. After Newt found her, had a small conversation, ticking her off by saying 'girl' like some sort of alien resulting to a couple death treats, Newt and Barth brought the girl back to the glade. 

There was lots of gasping, staring, and mouths dangling open. Newt quickly dismissed Barsh and gathered a meeting with the other keepers and the girl.

"She came from the maze instead of the box, in a magical container or whatever, with swords and bow and arrows, plus she's not a boy. We've been only getting males since the beginning, then all of a sudden a girl pops up. I say we lock her up in the Slammer. She could be trouble," Gally spoke, glaring at the girl. She remains still, un-amused, with her arms crossed.

"Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that it was a law that girls aren’t allowed to be here. Even if i did, it wasn’t my choice to get myself locked in this 'container'' and get sent here to this garbage dump!" She shot back like venom. "And what the hell is a Slammer? You guys make the worst names and words ever! Example, shuck, shank, klunk. Like what does that even mean? You." She points at Newt. "Your name is Newt. Newt is a freaking specie of a Lizard." 

Muffled laughter came from a few keepers, but with a glare from Newt, they killed their smiles and went back to their serious expressions. 

"Okay, then, Newt! Why not you tell us what we should do with the girl?" Alby asks. 

"My name is not girl, you idiot." She spat. 

Newt expected Alby to blow up, but against his thoughts, Alby remained calm. 

"Well, if you don’t like being called girl, then maybe you should tell us your bloody name," Newt says. "She did just insult me right in front of my face. But, other than that, she hadn’t really caused any trouble. We could just treat her like a normal glader." 

Truthfully, yes, Newt lied about the girl having to be welcomed. Newt would've agreed with Gally to lock her up in the Slammer. But after looking back at her mesmerizing eyes and wavy light brown hair, he couldn’t help but admit the fact she was beautiful. 'Annoyingly beautiful' Newt thought

"Alright then. Those in favor of locking her up in the Slammer raise your hand," Alby breathes out, resting himself on his chair. 3 out of the 9 boys raised their hands. The 6 were too busy gawking at the girl. Newt was unhappy to the truth that he's one of those 6. 

 "It's decided then. The girl will start her training by tomorrow," Alby announces. 

"Quit calling me girl. My name's Cassidy. Ca-ssi-dy." 

Cassidy, Newt repeated her name in his head. Surprisingly, it seemed familiar to his tongue, almost like he had said her name million of times before they wiped out his memory. 

"You guys cant just take that shuck in like that! She just appeared here with no apparent reason. Why would the creators send her here, hmm? Would anyone like to suggest any reasons? She could be a spy. Or even a murderer!" Gally protested. Newt had to use all his power to stop the urge of jumping out of his chair and tackling Gally to the ground. 

"Maybe she was sent here because they want us to repopulate," Someone says. The thought made Newt go up in flames. He wasn’t sure why, but he felt a bit protective of Cassidy. Despite her rude attitude, insults, and death threats towards him. 

Muffled laughter and snickers exploded through the room.

Gally, pissed, slams the doors open, leaving the room.
