Running From Your Problems (a Newt/ Maze Runner fanfic)

Eyes

It's quiet here. I like that. None of them will find me here.

A twig snaps and I realize that I was wrong about them not being able to find me. I pull my knife back out of my boot, wincing as I feel it cut my skin, and hope that he doesn't come any closer.

"I know you are there," it's the boy from the box. "It's okay you don't have to be afraid of us. Well, maybe Gally, but other than him we are all good people." His voice was different than it was earlier, softer I can tell that he is choosing his words carefully.

A skinny figure comes into view and looks right at the tree I'm in. I hold my breath and pray that he doesn't see me even though I know that he very likely does.

He looks directly at me and smiles.

"I knew that you would be here," he walks to the tree and starts climbing.

"Stay back," I warn and point the knife at him.

"Where did you get that?" he asks and stops climbing.

"That doesn't matter. Where am I? Why am I here? Who are you? Why aren't there any other girls here?" I spew out as many questions as I can.

"First off you are in the Glade. None of us know why are we are here. I am the amazing and attractive Newt," the boy who was apparently Newt stops and smiles at me when he says the last part.

"I don't remember my name," I whisper. "Why?"

"Once again, none of us know why they took our memories. You'll get them back soon enough. Until then, you will have to respond to Greenie."

I don't say anything and just stare off in the direction of the wall.

"That is the Maze. We don't know how to get out of here." Newt looked sad as he talked about the Maze. "Can I come up the rest of the way? I'm starting to get tired."

"Fine," I sigh. "but, keep your distance or I will hurt you."

Newt slowly climbs up the rest of the way keeping his distance the whole time. I can see that he has a slight limp.

"I know that this is a lot to take in right now, but you'll be fine," Newt looks me right in the eyes and I freeze.

Those eyes. I know them.
