It was much simpler to feel empty and focus all of her energy on running than it was on the attraction Lorna felt for Nicky Nichols. Lorna/Nicky. One-Shot.

Disclaimer: I do not own the show or characters. All I own is the writing and story.

Author's Note: This began as a drabble, believe it or not...I don't know how it turned into this monstrosity of a size. I've never written a one-shot this long before but I couldn't stop myself from writing, clearly.

(Maze Runner Fan Fiction) {Book 1} {Completed} His eyes glistened with the ghost of his past, a past he didn't remember, if he did he didn't share. He held onto my arms like I would fall back into insane babbling again if he didn't. I felt so much safer when he was there, I know I was no safer then I was without him but with him there... I didn't feel so alone. He squeezed my upper arms tightly, like he was reassuring me of a pain he thought I was feeling. Or maybe he was reassuring himself. I couldn't tell. He dropped his eyes as he gathered a breath into his lungs, a ghostly silence suddenly taking over the Glade. "Everything here was bad... Until you came up through that box. I am here to protect you, you... You give me a sense of purpose when I didn't have one before" ~ Malaya, the new wailing addition to the Glade. But she's injured, forced to walk on the balls of her feet from a calf injury she is seen as almost a burden to the Gladers. But not to the sweet second in command, showing some sympathy they stuck together. Bark the glade dog entering Malaya's life soon after Minho, they were the perfect team. A living hope dwindled within the childish giggles they shared. Until the trials came. The burden title everyone painted on her head was surely removed. She could run. Alby was bound to make her a runner, but she didn't want to. A fear she didn't understand shook her away from the Maze. So in her effort to avoid Alby and her runner job she seeked refuge within Newts care... Only to fall for him more... But that was it... Falling for him was enough to blind her of fear, she needed to save him. Her world was taken over by her determination to save Newt and her friends, she pushed herself to be a runner. But the further she went into the maze the more she started to remember, the more WICKED began to show there traces within her. But the only way to free her friends... Was to retread those terrifying traces. "I don't want to remember"

Every heartbeat I touched stitched itself into me, burning threads of light under my skin. Some were fleeting sparks, gone before I could breathe. Others were storms, all rage and fire. But his - Liam's - was different. Unyieling. Fierce. It anchored me when everything else threatened to shatter me. I should have feared it. Bond this deep were dangerous. They bled, they broke, they destroyed. Fainne warned me that feeling too much could shatter even the strongest rider. And yet, when his hand brushed mine, when his presence steadied the chaos inside me, I craved more. More of his fire. More of his light. Even if it meant I'd burn. - A Liam Mairi x OC fanfiction. Friends to lovers. Angst. Slow burns. !DISCLAIMER! All characters (apart for the OC) belong to Rebecca Yarros
