Lost & Found (Maze Runner Fanfiction)

(13)

Elaine woke, with her head spinning, and her eyes adjusting to the white ceiling above her.
She felt numb, and cold. Something she only remembered feeling many months ago. She could feel cold metal restraints around her wrists. Which caused her to go into a state of panic.

She sat upright, and looked around the room.
It was white; white walls, white ceilings, white floors. Even the lights glow was white. And the room was more of an octagon shape. Elaine's panic reduced when she saw Newt in the opposite corner with his head resting lazily on his knees.
"Newt?" Elaine said grabbing his attention. He looked up and smiled when he saw Elaine now awake.
"Your awake" Was his only response
"What happened?" Elaine asked as pain shot through her skull, and her hands clutched her head hoping the pain would go away from the touch.
"I don't know, I was unconscious like you" Newt admitted. He too was chained up, but he seemed to not care as much.

Elaine slowly stood up and took in more detail of the room. A heavy metal door was placed on the wall next to Newt. As Elaine advanced forward, about a foot from the door she couldn't walk another step due to the restraints on her wrists. That only gave her a limited length of where she could roam.

"Wherever we are, they've chained us up like animals" Elaine said looking around unamused.

~~~

Finally it had been about 2 hours and a man with a long lab coat and glasses entered the cell.
"Lovely to see you two awake" The man said flipping through the papers on his clip board.
"Who are you?" Elaine asked standing up.
"Doctor Romanov" The man answered simply
"And where are we?" Elaine asked cocking an eyebrow.
"A facility run by the WCKD rebellion" Doctor Romanov answered again this time looking up from his clip board.
"Your with WICKED?" This time Newt stood up. He was tense, and he looked like he was ready to kill something or someone.
"Yes, do you not understand when I intentionally said WCKD rebellion?" The man asked with humor.
"What do you want with us?" Newt asked, his hands balling into fists.
"Nothing too extravagant" The man said and looked at Elaine, "She is wanted for stealing and getting ahold of WICKED property, and since you have been tagging along with her, you both will be paying the consequences"
"What are they?" Newt asked.
"Death" The man sneered.

Elaine's face expression went from bold, to angst in a matter of seconds after hearing the one word the man had said.

"I suggest you start saying your farewells you two, it'll be you're last" The man eyed Elaine when he said you're.

Then he left. Elaine looked at Newt with tears in her eyes, and her knees buckled and she fell to the ground.

"I'm so sorry Newt, I dragged you into this, a-and know you have to pay the price with me" Elaine said, she was feeling many emotions, hurt, fear, anger, guilt, and regret.
"Elaine don't blame yourself-" Newt triesto reason.
"No, it is. If I never went into WICKED and got that stupid cure we wouldn't be here, and I-I," Elaine couldn't finish her sentence, she was completely overwhelmed.
"If you wouldn't have gotten that cure, I would be dead already" Newt said looking at Elaine.
"Maybe that would've been for the best" Elaine mumbled quietly, but Newt heard her.
"Don't say that" Newt said as he made his way over to Elaine but he stopped right in front of her. She stood up and looked at him straight in the eyes.
"Why not?! It would've been best, you wouldn't have sit here and rot away with me, you could've already have been in a better place, you wouldn't have to-" Elaine didn't get to finish her sentence because Newts lips crashed to hers. And in an instant all of Elaine's worrying emotions vanished and were replaced with something she's never felt before, butterflies erupted in her stomach, like Newts. She kissed him back.

"I'd go anywhere with you, Elaine. Even if it meant to our deaths I'd go with you" Newt said after he pulled away and wiped some stray tears from Elaine's cheek.

Elaine smiled but before she could respond the large metal door swung open again. And revealed two guards dressed in black armor suits with guns in each arm.

They had come in and unshackled the restraints from both Newt and Elaine's wrists and pushed them outside of the cell. In front of Elaine stood a young girl, who looked to be the same age and height as Elaine.

Elaine had recognized the girl. With her long brown hair and grey-ish green eyes, she wasn't hard to forget. The girl was in fact Elaine's best friend from the maze. Her second-in-command.

She was standing there in black jeans, with a color matching turtle neck, a lab coat, and boots.
"A-Anna?" Elaine was shocked.
Anna gestured for the guards to leave, and they did, leaving the three young teens in the long hallway.
"Your with them" Elaine said coming to reality.
"Elaine, I had no choice" Anna reasoned
"But your supposed to be dead! I watched you being taken back" Elaine said she was clearly shocked and confused. "Why?! Why would you betray me, betray our friends?" Elaine asked
"I did it for James, Elaine!" Anna's voice echoed through the halls as Anna found her voice to speak. "I did for him, ok".
"James? He-he's alive?" Elaine asked the shock had replaced the anger in her.
"Was. They said I could save him, if we got you. And they knew me and your were close so..." Anna said lowly "but I didn't know that they really wanted to kill you! All I wanted was for my brother to have a life again" Anna spoke her voice was full of different emotions. Fear, regret, saddess, and most of all she sounded broken.
"What happened to him?" Elaine spoke softly.
"I had figured it out; the cure. But before I could give it to James, they killed him. Told me it was too late. But it wasn't, his records say that he had time left before the virus took over his brain. They wanted to use the cure for other purposes, they'd lied to me. And now it's lead me to betray you, and I didn't even mean to" Anna said calmly looking at the ground trying to hide her tears. Elaine then realized something. If she were in Anna's position she'd do the same, because James was all Anna had and she lost him.
"WICKED has a way of manipulating people, making them naïve about there decisions. And I know you'd never do anything rash, unless it was for something meaningful, like trying to save your brother" Elaine pauses and looked at Newt he stood quietly behind her "I'd do the same" Elaine replied softly. Then turned back to Anna.
"We need to get out of here" Newt piped up.
"Don't worry I have a plan to get you guys out, that's why I'm here in the first place" Anna said.
"Well then let's hear it" Elaine said with a mischievous smirk.

Anna looked at her friend and shared the same look.

Newt was confused at the telepathic vibe going on between the girls. Is this what women do? He asked himself
