First Time Maze Runner [Newt Love Story]

A New Clue

Thomas's POV

He knew he had to get Maddie to tell him soon about the code.

The only thing he didn't get was, why didn't she want to tell him?

Why was she hiding this from everyone?

What was her reason to keep us in this shuck place?

So many thoughts flew through his head, there was a main reason why she didn't want anyone leaving.

He saw Maddie walking around, it was her typical morning walk, she would go in the same pattern everyday.

That's when it hit.

She did it 'every day.'

Same pattern, same everything.

He jogged up to her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hey Maddie." He gave her a warm smile and she looked over and returned the smile.

"Hey Thomas, what ya doin'?" She questioned, smiling at him.

"Eh I got bored and decided to come join you, if you don't mind." He tried to act casual.

"Of course! That'd be fun." Maddie smiled and kept walking.

He walked with her, looking at whatever she looked at to see what she was up to.

"I've been meaning to ask you something by the way." He began, causing her to look at him.

"Yeah ask me anything." She stopped and crossed her arms.

"Why won't you tell me the code." He spoke as stern as he could.

It took Maddie off guard and she began to get nervous.

"I told you I just can't, not yet." She sighed.

"When can you tell me then?" He groaned.

"In two days." She answered quickly.

"What's going to happen between the two days." He questioned, causing Maddie to go wide eyed.

"How'd you know something's gonna happen." She whispered.

"I didn't." Thomas spoke, his voice low.

"But,-" She began but stopped talking, he had tricked her into answering a question.

Thomas looked at her, his eyes cold for a minute then softened.

"Maddie you need to tell me what the shuck is going on." He placed a hand on her shoulder.

She took a deep breath then looked up at him.

"People are gonna die." She spoke, her voice so light you could barely hear her.

"What do you mean people are gonna die." Thomas questioned, his body full of panick.

"The wall... They aren't gonna close Thomas." She mumbled.

"People are gonna die." She whispered again.

"Maddie calm down, it's okay." He spoke soothingly.

"The Grievers." She whispered again.

Thomas looked at her, she was turning pale just thinking about it.

"We need to get you to Newt." Thomas spoke quickly, picking her up and jogging to where Newt was.

"Newt!" Thomas shouted which caught his attention.

Newt quickly ran over, even though he had a limp he did his best to run.

"What the bloody hell happened!?" Newt exclaimed, taking Maddie into his arms and holding her close.

"I was just talking to her and then she went all zombie like and started talking about how in two days people are gonna start dying, the walls will stay open and the grievers.." He began but looked at Newt who was wide eyed.

"What about the grievers?" Newt spoke, his voice full of fear.

"She didn't say anything else." Thomas spoke, now Newt looked pale too.

"You guys need to go to the Med-Jacks." Thomas looked at them concerned.

Thomas took them to the Med-Jacks and they both laid down in a bed.

Maddie was looking even worse, she was extreamly pale.

****

She was in a white room, she looked around. Nobody was there, why was she alone.

She looked around, she tried to yell for help but nothing happened.

All of a sudden blood was dripping out, out from her shirt. She had gotten stabbed or shot.

But from what? From who?

She tried to stop the bleeding, but it was too late.

Except she didn't die.

She looked around and saw Thomas.

'How could you do this!' She screamed.

'You are a mistake, you aren't supposed to be here.' He spoke, as if he was being controled.

'Well you aren't supposed to be here either!' She yelled, taking the knife out of her chest and throwing it at Thomas.

It struck him in the chest, making him gasp and fall to the ground.

'Maddie!' He shouted, and then she realized she just killed her best friend.

He laid there in the pool of blood, but how come he died and she didn't?

Is this what WICKED wanted?

For her to kill all her friends?

Was she going insane and losing her mind?

A few words popped into her head.

C-R-A-N-K

They kept repeating, over and over and over.

Was she going to turn into a crank once they got out of here?

She thought she was immune like the rest, or was she lied to?

Everything wasn't making sense, but it was a clue.

****

Maddie woke up, her eyes fluttered open, her skin color back to normal.

She looked around and realized she was in the Med-Jack area.

She didn't see anyone though, she got up and walked outside to see Newt, Thomas, Minho and Alby talking. Newt glanced over and saw me and everyone came running up to me.

"Maddie!" Newt shouted picking her up and twirling her around, causing her to squeal and laugh.

"Newt!" She smiled and he gave her a sweet kiss.

"We were all worried about you." Alby spoke up.

"Thomas told me about what you said, is it true that, that is gonna happen?" He questioned.

She stood there a minute, unsure if she should answer, but if she wanted people to live she had to.

"Yes." She responded, tightening her grip on Newt's hand.

Newt looked at her and pulled her into a warm embrace of a hug.

"It will be okay." Was the last thing that was said.
