Maze running (a tmr/ Newt fanfiction

The maze

I run through the already closing doors, and I can vaguely hear the voices from Newt and Chuck behind be "BELLA, NO!" And "BELLA! COME BACK!" But I tried to tune them out.

I needed to be with my brother, and Minho.

I run through the doors just as they close, and I collapse to the ground. I look up.

Minho has his head in his hands, and Thomas is pulling me into a hug. "Bel, why did you follow me?" He asks into my shoulder. "I-I couldn't let you go without me." I say. Minho stands up and hugs me. "Bella.... You shouldn't have ran" he says. "well, there's nothing we can do about it now, is there?" I say.

Then we hear it.

Rrrrrrrrrr,
Click.
Rrrrrrrrrr,
Click.

All three of us turn around.

It's a griever. It's very far away, but it's gonna get here soon.

"We gotta split up" says Minho matter-of-factly.

"But-" I say, but Minho cuts me off. "Bel, I don't want to either, but we have to."

"What about Alby?!" Thomas almost yells.

Minho pins Thomas up to the wall by his shirt. "Don't you get it, you dumb shuck? All four of us, we're already dead" he releases him. He sighs. "I'm sorry, Bella" he says before running off into the maze.

I feel a tear roll down my cheek.

"Thomas.."

"Bella... Run. I'll be fine, save yourself." He says. "Tom.. No" I sob. He looks toward the griever. "BELLA, GO!" He yells. So I ran. And run, I did.

I take a left, then three rights. There's another griever. I take another turn. Another one. "Fuck, how many are there?" I mutter to myself, out of breath from running.

And then I run right into a griever. I mean, right in. I feel it's disgusting skin against my cheek. I try to run, but it grabs me with one of its arms.

I kick my heel into its leg, and I break it, and I run far.

I was running for the whole night, or, what felt like it. It was still extremely dark, but getting a bit lighter.

I turned a corner,
And there was a Griever. It pinned me. I Tried to escape, but I wasn't going to this time.

It pinned me, and it had its stinger out. It was getting closer to me. 3 feet, 2 feet. I closed my eyes. I was gonna die.

I hope Newt doesn't take it too bad.

Then, I feel the Griever thrown off of me. I immediately get up. Minho was already running towards me. "Min.." He cuts me off. "Bel, there's another one coming, the doors are gonna open soon, make your way to the closest one and make it inside the Glade. Don't worry about me. Thomas and I will make it. Go" he says before turning and running the other way. I notice the sun. The doors would open in about two minutes.

I tried to follow my instincts, and find my way back.

I turned a right.

And then I saw it.

The Glade.

I made it.

I run, I sprint faster then I ever have. The doors were already open.

I run through, only to feel a pair of muscular arms around me, and pick me up into a hug.

It was Newt, of course.

I start crying into his shoulder.

He puts me down.

"What were you bloody thinking? Bella, you could have died" he says, concern lacing his eyes. "I know.. I'm sorry" I say.

Then his lips are on mine.

We pull away.

I notice all of the Gladers are all surrounding us, and they start moving closer and eventually we are having a huge group hug.

Then I notice Chuck moving towards me. He hugs me. "Hey Chucky" I whisper. Hey, Bel" he says. I turn to Newt. "Are-are the others back yet?" He shakes his head. "No, you're the first back." He says.

Then I notice Minho run in to the Glade. I sprint up to Minho and I hug him. We hug for almost 2 minutes, but then I pull away. "I'm so glad you're back" I say. "Where's Thomas?" I ask. "He shakes his head "I-I don't know... I didn't see him after I ran off.. And by the way, Bella, I'm SO sorry for running off" he says. "No.... You did what you had to do. Don't apologize."

I put my hand on his chest and rest my head on his shoulder. "I hope he makes it back" I whisper. "Me too" he says.

Then, I hear a dragging noise from in the door. I run to the door.

There was Thomas, dragging Alby into the Glade.

"GUYS! COME ON, THOMAS IS BACK!!" I shriek to the Gladers. Cheers erupt and all of them run to the door. "MED-JACKS!" I yell. They come, and Take Alby from him. I hug him. "Tom" I sob. "We made it" he gasps. I give him a small smile. "we made it" I repeat.

"HEY, GREENIES!" I hear a harsh voice form behind.

Gee, I wonder who that is.

I turn around.

It's Gally.

I mean, obviously.

"You shanks know only runners are supposed to leave the maze"

"Fuck off, Gally. I'm not in the mood to put up with your shit." I say. Then, I feel a fist meet cheek, and then I'm out.

*

*Newts POV*

Gally punches Bella.

Oh, he's gonna wish he didn't do that.

I immediately tackle him to the ground and Start punching him.

Hard.

Very hard.

"YOU DUMB SHANK, WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU JUST DO?" I scream while punching him. I feel a pair of arms throw me off of him.

"Newt, HEY! Enough" says Alby after pulling me off Gally.

The Med-jacks are already taking Bella and Gally away.

"HE HIT HER! HE SHUCKING HIT HER!" I scream. I see Thomas trying to yell at Gally. I mean, she was his sister.

"I know, I know... But two wrongs don't make a right" he says.

I growl in frustration. "I need to see her" I say before running to the homestead.

*

I get into the room that Bella is in. Minho, Chuck and Thomas are all surrounding her bed.

Clint speaks from next to Jeff.

"She'll be fine, just knocked out from the punch, maybe some slight bruising is all." He says before him and Jeff leave. I sit down next to her bed and grab her hand. "I can't believe he actually hit her" I say to no one in particular.

I look up at Minho and Thomas,
And I see all of their clothes are ripped. I remember they just got back from the maze.

I look over at Bella... Sleeping peacefully. I mean, aside from the bruise on her cheek.

I decide that I'm going to stay with her.

I'm going to be the first one she sees when she wakes up.

"I'm.. Uhh.. Gonna go get some food... I'll bring some back for you guys." Says Chuck before leaving the room. "At least we got out of the maze safe." Says Thomas.

"Yeah" I say.
