Maze running (a tmr/ Newt fanfiction

Siblings

"He's my brother" I say. His eyes widen. "I-I need to talk to him" I say getting up. "Do you want me to come?" Asks Newt. "I appreciate it, but this is something I need to do myself." Newt gives an understanding nod. I start running down the starts of the homestead, and soon I'm outside, only to see Thomas already running towards me. "Y-you had the dream too?" He asks. I nod.

He doesn't say anything, he just wraps his arms around me and brings me in to a protective hug. A tear rolls down my cheek. "We- we had a mom" I say. "I know" he whispers. We pull away. "Wicked.. Wicked..." He repeats "what does it mean?" He asks. Then I remember. "The beetle blades! They have Wicked written across their back!" I say.

"Let's go to the lookout tower" I suggest. We start walking towards the tower, and I climb up the ladder.

I sit down on the dark wood that it's built out of and hang my legs over the side and Thomas does the same.

"I had- I had another dream before that one" says Thomas. "Oh yeah? What was it?" I ask.

He takes in a breath, then continues. "We were about 12.... There was me, you, Gally, Minho, and Newt. We were all friends. Even Gally. It was after they... They changed our names. The names we're called now, they aren't the names we were born with. We were telling everybody what they changed them to." He says. "Wow... I wonder what my name was..."

"And-and they all mean something.. Like famous historical figures... I'm Thomas Edison, Newt is Isaac Newton, Alby is Albert Einstein, Gally is Galileo, Zart is Mozart, Ben is Benjamin Franklin, and Winston is Winston Churchill." He says.

"What about me?" I ask. "See, that's the thing I didn't get.... Yours doesn't mean anything.. Because they didn't change yours. You were born as Bella." He says. "So-so my actual name.. The one that our mom gave me... It's Isabella?" I ask. He nods. I'm actually happy that I still have my name.

"Wow" I say.

We both just don't talk for a minute, just look out to the Glade and think. "I hope we get out of here one day" I finally say. "Me too, sis" says Thomas.

"Okay, I'm gonna go back to bed" I say. "Yeah, me too" said Thomas. I climb down the ladder and head back into the homestead.

When I get to our room, I need to wake up Newt because I sleep on the side of the bed closest to the wall so he needed to get up for me to get in. I shake him.

"Newt" I whisper. He stirs, but doesn't wake up. "Newt" I say louder this time. This time he wakes up. "Oh, hey Bel" he says sleepily rubbing his eyes and sitting up so I can crawl behind him. He lays back down and puts his arm around me and I rest my head on his chest.

"Newt?" I ask. "Mhm" he mumbles. "You guys.. You're all named after historical figures.. Thomas is named After Thomas Edison.." I continue and tell him about everyone else. "And you.. You're name after Isaac Newton." I say. "Am I?" He asks. "Yeah... And me... I'm the only one who isn't names after anyone. I was born with the name Isabella. They didn't change mine for some reason" I say. "Hmm... I wonder why.." Says Newt. Then we go to sleep.

For the third time, I wake up to Minho shaking us awake. "What the bloody hell do you want this time, you shuck-face?" Asks Minho sleepily. "The box is here with the supplies for the week, lovebirds" says Minho with a childish smile. "You know, you're always making fun of us for being together, but I don't see you with a girl, huh, Min?" I say. "Well, Bel, if you can find another girl in the glade, maybe that would be possible" he says. "Touché" I say.

A couple of minutes later, I'm walking with Newt, holding hands, towards several Gladers unloading the box. I notice Chuck and Min are there. "Here Bel, this is for you" Chuck says, handing me a box that said "Isabella".
