"Guys! We tried our best and did what we could. But we can't guarantee whether she is gonna make it or not. She has lost a lot of blood. We're sorry! " said Clint who was one of the med-jacks.

Silence again filled the room as all eyes were fixed on the new greenie who apparently was a girl.
A girl - for the first time in 3 years we received a girl who seemed dead.

"Well! She is slipping through our fingers as we speak. There is something you two can do" The dark-skinned boy asked breaking the silence.

"Alby, we are sorry. We did everything we could do but her bleeding won't stop and to add the fact that we are almost out of bandages. She has a faint pulse and her breathing is really shallow. We're sorry! But we are not skilled enough - we are not real doctors." said Jeff our other med-jack.

"We want to save her life just like you want to. But, this is the most we can do. Maybe you can write a note to the creators asking for blood supplements!" Clint added.

"Ya! That's it! I will make sure I write the note now and send it down the box. Gally, go and help Winston find another medical supply for this shank. Clint - Jeff makes sure she doesn't die. And someone should always be by her side around the clock. So we will take shifts." Alby said as he left the room with Gally at his heels. That left the med-jacks and the blonde boy.

The blonde boy kept quiet the whole time never breaking his gaze off the girl. It was obvious that he was thinking cause he always bites his nails when he is nervous or in deep thought.

" Hey Newt! Like what you see? " Clint mocked.

" What!? Have you bloody lost your mind! Where is Alby?"

" Wow! You really didn't hear him out. He has gone to write a note to the creators asking for blood supplements for this shank. Anyway, Jeff has gone down to tend to some builders. You know they are very good with their hands but they do have not a lot going upstairs. You know what I mean!" he laughed. " Anyway I have to go get more bandages and you are in charge of looking after the greenie. Don't kill her! Man, I am on fire! " he left the room laughing at his own jokes which only he found funny leaving behind Newt.

Newt never got a chance to say anything. Well, now what? He thought to himself. He sank into the wooden chair beside the girl's bed. It wasn't that comfortable but you gotta work with what you have. He again zoned out in his thoughts when he heard a voice. It was the voice of an elderly woman saying, " Newt you are the reason why she has been stabbed. You are responsible for her condition. Hope you are happy!"

He jerked up and looked around expecting to see someone but no one was there in the room except for the girl and Newt himself.
"Hey! I know someone was here. Stop messing with me and show your bloody face!"
But no response. The room was silent except for the uneven almost inaudible breath of the girl.
He thought that it was his mind messing with him. But those words really got him thinking.

Newt's POV

After Gally and I carefully lifted the girl from the box we bought her to the med-jacks. We laid her on one of the cots and the med-jacks started to work on her.

After about an hour or so they let us in. Alby, Gally, the med-jacks and I were standing around the girl's cot. All eyes fixed upon her as silence filled the room. Clint was the one who broke the silence.

While they were talking I couldn't help but continue to stare at the girl. I wasn't paying attention to what the guys were talking cause I was in the thought of my own.

The minute I laid my eyes on the girl something triggered my mind. I felt as if I knew her my whole life but I couldn't lay my finger on it. I kept on staring at her but no luck. It felt that something was preventing me to remember her, like a barrier but a really strong one. We knew that the creators took away our memories and sent us into this hell hole with nothing but our bloody names.

Clint broke me from my reverie and I ended up looking after the girl. Great!

I sat on the chair beside her cot when someone spoke. It was a voice of a girl and I am pretty sure she was a woman. She told me I was the reason for the girl's condition. It was weird because no one was there in the room. The words really got to me but I soon let them slip through my mind.

After sometime...

" Hey! Newt wake up! "
I opened my eyes and saw Minho.
"What are you doing here? You should be in the maze."
"I was, but I had to be back before the walls closed. Remember? "
"What!?" I looked out the window and saw that the sun had set. Shoot! I might have gone to sleep.

"So, wanna tell me about this shank? " Minho asked as he was staring at her.
He lifted her arm as if it was a piece of twig.
"Don't! " I yelled.
" Chill dude! I am not gonna do anything to her. "
" Sorry! I don't bloody know what's wrong with me. Ever since she came up the box I have been having a feeling as if I know her. "
" Somebody is having his first crush. " he teased.
" Shut up! Don't you bloody tell anybody. And why would I like this shank? I don't even know who the hell she is!"
" So what you are saying is that if you knew her then you will take your chances and see if she likes you back? " he asked.
I gave him a death glare that basically stopped him from speaking any more nonsense.
"Ok! ok! My bad. So, what are you gonna do? "
I ran my fingers through my hair and said, " I don't know! Alby said that he was going to write a note asking the creators for blood supplements and Clint left me to look after her. "
"And you fell asleep! " the Asian boy asked as he raised his eyebrow.
"Ya! Pretty much. Can you stay here while I go get some fresh air and get my back straight, this chair might have broken my back." I said as I slowly got up.
" No! No! I am not gonna look after your girlfriend. I am off to eat. I am starving. Later shank! " he said as he dashed out of the room not giving me a chance to speak.
"Hey! She is not... " Never mind, he's gone.

Great! Now I am stuck with her. AGAIN!
