Have you ever wondered why the world was obliterated?
Why the cities were demolished in rogue chemicals and unquenchable flames ~
Why Mother Nature's creations and beauties were covered in an ever-lasting smoke of extinction and suffering ~
And why humanity ~
The human race×~
Was warped in disease and famine and threatened of its own existence?
~This is why~
A story about a girl who longed for
Freedom.
And peace of mind.
Yet her anger was ablaze
In the ruins of her soul.
~The world is run on fear and shame~
Run.
Or.
Fall.

Not just a Girl || Newt
A Newt x Female OC Story I have no collection of anything before coming up from the box. No memories came to me about my past life. The only thing I know is who I am. One, I am stubborn. Two, I can hold a grudge for a very long time. And three: I am a Killer. In the heart of a dystopian world, where ivy walls protect them from a deadly maze, where monsters lurked in the shadows. Like every single month a newcomer steps foot in this place, only this time it is a girl. All rights go to James Dashner for writing the amazing series. The only people I have right over are Cassie, and some of the plot/story change.Complete
Live ➳ Newt
A feeling of comfort washed over me as his arms repeated my action, pulling me closer to his chest. "Of course, I got completely tangled up in all the ivy. Snapped my leg in three different places and landed hard on the floor." He stated, trying to make me feel better by joking about it. It didn't work. I inhaled deeply and hugged him tighter. "I thought that was it, that I was gone, but Minho found me somehow. He picked me up and took me back to the glade. We never told anyone what really happened." I looked up at him, his gaze meeting my own, "But, I have something to live for now and I'm not going to take any chances to lose it." #1 on thomasbrodiesangster #1 on thomassangster #1 on tmr #1 on glade #1 on newtfanfic #1 on themazeComplete![Hope for Us (NEWT) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/168189148-256-k13014.jpg)

❃Featured in Wattpad's Official Maze Runner Reading List❃ ❦ "They give you bits of hope only to rip it all away along with your heart" ❦ Despite her predicament, Sara realizes how lucky she is among many other teenagers when the world appears to be ending. Curious about her new life in WICKED headquarters, however, she discovers a sickening truth. As time goes by, she meets new people, good and bad, and a British boy that changes her life forever. Their relationship is sour and unfriendly at first. They practically can't stand each other, but slowly, they start giving in to the obvious. Their romantic relationship is constantly at stake, however. Family mysteries are unveiled; friendships are put to the test; trust narrows down to a brief list of people; and decisions become less black-and-white.

Will there be any hope left?
