Warrior's Promise//Newt (Book 2)

Chapter 2

sadly, and tearfully, I don't own the maze runner. If I did newtmas would be a thing I promise that. 😂

"You shouldn't have told them Aris." I whispered as we walked into the cafeteria. Some people started staring at me. It made me feel uncomfortable. I gave then a narrowed look.

"Got a staring problem?" I growled as they all looked away. I saw out of the corner of my eye the boys looking at me. "Why tiger, they were your old people I thought you would want them to know." He replied as we sat down.

"If I know Thomas, he will do everything in his power to figure it out." I mumbled. I looked over at the boys unsure.

They were different. Bolder. I guess I've changed to. Trusting less. After Beth killed Rachel, I felt less trusting. Jansen came out and started announcing the names for the 'safe haven' of course me and Aris don't believe it.

I suddenly felt Aris nudging me. "Look." He motioned to Thomas who just punched a guard. "Shit." I grumbled as I ran over and pushed Thomas back as the boys grabbed him.

"Get him out of here." I ordered as the boys pulled Thomas along. I made my way back to Aris. "Let's go." I grumbled as we headed back to our room and towards the vents. Aris went first as I followed closely behind.

As I climbed out, I glared at Thomas. "What the hell were you thinking?! They could have put a bullet in your head, and nobody question it."

I growled as I pointed to my head. "Think Thomas." Thomas then sighed as he held up the guard's key card. "Me and Aris have a plan to get out. I'm not losing it just for you to ruin it." I spat out.

"Aris take him. Thomas he better come back unhurt." I warned as they both nodded. As Aris and Thomas left, I looked to see the boys staring. "What?" I crossed my arms.

"What happened to you kitty? You used to be so sweet." Winston commented as I took a deep breath.

"I died. Then I woke up in another place. Once again trapped. Everyone loses hope eventually." I mumbled as I walked over to a bed and sat down.

I felt someone sit beside me. "Hey kitty." Minho said. "Look I'm sorry we left you in that maze." I shook my head stopping him. "I told you to run Minho. You were too important to lose."

"What was your second maze like?" He asked as I looked at my feet. "Cold. It was snowing almost constantly." I rubbed my hand over my face frustratingly. 

"There was a girl. Beth. She reminded me so much of Gally. She killed a girl named Rachel." I frowned. It was tragic. A very violent few days. 

"After that I couldn't trust all of them anymore. I promised Harriet and Sonya I would get Aris out alive." I felt him grab my hand comfortingly.

"We had something kind of like a griever. But these things were worse." I stared out blankly remembering the people we lost.

"Every day it was a fight to stay alive." I kept staring out catching the boy's attention. "Why do they call you tiger?" He asked trying to change the subject as I laughed lightly.
