A/N: Helllooo againnnnn ok I have nothing to say...enjoy and please vote!
----------------------------------------
Chugging down the cool liquid you feel an overwhelming happiness, even though you're locked in a maze with no memories... it's pretty great.
The day continues with Newt showing you the running equipment and basic rules, you even get your own watch so you can get back in time. The day speeds past and before you know it you are sat eating dinner with Newt, Minho, Alby, Frypan and Zart.
Minho is trying to explain to Alby that you are a runner now. "Right Alby, it's not a big deal! She is faster than all of us and strong too, why can't she be a runner?" he protests as you sip Frypan's stew off your spoon.
Newt smiles mockingly at you when you spill hot stew on your hand and try not to make any noise from the pain.
"She can't because she's only been here for 2 days!" Alby complained.
"But she's great," Argues Newt from opposite you ,"she could be our best runner easily."
"Or the keeper." Adds Minho, you just sit there in silence picking at bread.
"Y/n? Got anything to say?" Asks Frypan, you clear your throat and put the bread down.
"Um... I would love to be a runner you know... serve the glade." Everyone starts chuckling at your last sentence apart from Alby.
"Fine" he mumbles reluctantly, "but stay with Minho."
You, Newt and Minho all look at each other and thrust your fists into the air saying "yes!" Then you all burst out laughing.
Later on the sun has dipped down from the sky, and the walls are closed again. You and Newt sleep in the same hammocks as the night before, and fall asleep grinning.
It's your first day as a runner. Minho shakes you awake and you groan and roll over.
"Y/n hello? We need to get running!" You shoot up when he reminds you and two seconds later you shout at Newt to get up and join you for breakfast. He jumps, looking bewildered and confused, then sees you and Minho laughing at him.
He pulls a grumpy face before jumping up and following you. This time you do eat breakfast which is toast, fruit and water. A nutritious meal would be good for a day of exercise. When you're done Newt gives you a rucksack.
"It's my old one, best one we have." He says, handing it to you.
It's made of leather and roomy, with two pockets for food and water.
"Thanks Newt!" You grin. Minho shows you what you need to pack which includes an apple, sandwiches and a light weight, flexible bottle of water which slides into the rucksack with ease.
It is finally time for you to leave. You are entering the maze earlier than the other runners as a precaution, the sun has just began to peek over the great walls. You pull your hair up into a ponytail and secure it with a thin strip of scrap fabric. A scraping booming noise causes you to block your ears with your hands, a strong gust of wind follows, the doors are open for the day. And now you're about to enter the maze. Minho jogs ahead and beckons for you to hurry up.
"Be careful y/n." Newt says, trying to hide his worry with a nervous smile. You rush over to him and hug him tightly.
"See ya later you bloody shank." You whisper into his ear before sprinting away to catch up with Minho. You've entered the maze, you have left the safety of the glade, left Newt.
You are now running at a speedy pace next to Minho, trying to concentrate on keeping your breathing steady and memorising the left and rights of the maze.
