Hey guys! So for this one, Thomas and Teresa are accepted by Alby, Newt, and Minho faster than they were in the book. I only did that so the story could have all of the main characters as a big part in it, and focus on the storyline instead of Thomas and Teresa being accepted. So yes, Thomas is allowed in the Maze with Minho. Also, I haven't watched, or read the Maze Runner in a while, so some things in here might not be in order, or 100 percent accurate, so I appologize for that. I tried to keep everything true to the book, but I make no promises. Which reminds me...This is based more off of the book instead of the movie. They both are pretty similar, so I don't think that it makes a super huge difference, but just so you guys know. This does contain some spoilers if you haven't read th Scorch Trials yet...So just beware. Ok, last thing. This is my first story with and OC, so please let me know what you think of her. I guess I have a few OC's in here, but the girl is my biggest one. The others are just fillers. Ok, now I'm done. Sorry. That was alot. Now on to the story! Enjoy!
The hot sun beat down on the Maze. Sweaty boys were running around the Glade in groups, calling and shouting. There was a desperate search going on. One that required everybody to stop what they were doing, and go join. One of them had been taken. But not just one of them...A very important one of them.
Chuck burst through the door of the Homestead, and bent over, breathing quite heavily. He had stopped infront of a group that was sitting in a circle in the middle of the room. The group looked up at Chuck, desperate looks across their faces.
" Well? " Thomas asked anxiously.
Chuck took one more moment to catch his breath, then fully stood up. " They found a trail of blood by the south door."
" What?! "
" How much blood? " Alby asked in his typical monotone voice. Deep down, though, he was worried sick. His best friend, Newt, had been missing for two days now. And missing here... Let's just say that that's really bad.
" It's not alot, " Chuck replied. " Not enough to claim him dead. "
" Oh, yeah. Except for that he's missing! And the trail is by the south door! Which means that he's probably in the Maze! " Gally exclaimed in his sarcastic, and ' I'm gonna kill you ' type of way. " But no, that's not enough to claim him dead. " He was a rock on the outside, but deep down, he was concerned. Newt was the most tolerable person in the Glade.
" Gally, " Alby said. He didn't need to say more, because his tone said it all.
" Well it doesn't mean that he's one hundred percent for sure dead, " Teresa added.
Gally blew her off. She was new, and had no clue what the Maze was like. He just shot her a threatening glare, which she blew off. These boys didn't scare her. At least not any more.
" I'll take a search party first thing tomorrow morning, " Minho stated. He had been quiet the whole time until now.
" Alright, " Alby replied after a short moment of thinking about it. " Chuck, go tell everyone to come in for the night. "
It had gotten pretty late. The doors would be closing soon, and the Grievers would be coming out. Chuck took off again to round everybody up. Soon everyone was filiong into their sleeping areas. Sweaty, hot, and disappointed that Newt hadn't been found yet. Alby, of course, was the most disappointed, and the most worried. What if they were right? What if Newt was dead?
Beep! Beep! Beep! Newt's eyes blinked open, and the loud beeping filled his ears. He got a sharp pain in his head, which caused him to wince. Whether it was from the beepingor being knocked out by the Griever, he really didn't know. Wait. Griever? Beeping? It all came back to him at once. He wasn't in the Glade anymore. A Griever had shot something at him by the south door. Now he's strapped down on a medical table, with iv's and other things hooked up to him. Or was he hooked up to them? He had no idea what was going on, or where he was. All that he remembered was the Glade and the Maze. And this was definitely neither of those.
He lifted his head up as much as he could, and looked around. It kind of looked like a lab. If he remembered right what a lab looked like. The whole brain wash thing was so complicated as to what you remember, and what you don't. Machines, cords, and wires lined the walls and ran all over the room. Then something caught his attention.
A metal rack was against he wall, with wire connected to it. but that's not what had brought his attention. A young girl, probably a couple years younger than him, was strapped to the rack. Her wrists and ankles were tied down just below each corner. She was still unconcious, and Newt felt really bad for her, because her shoulders were really going to hurt when she wakes up. She was the most beautiful thing that he had ever seen. She had deeply tanned skin, long wavy dark brown hair with a blue highlight just behind her bangs, and a muscular yet petite build. Newt hadn't seen a girl in years, ( with the exception of Teresa of course ), But that wasn't the only reason he thought she was beautiful. She just was.
A few minutes later, Newt noticed the girl start to stir abit. Her eyes slowly started to open. They were a very unique, chestnut color. Newt had never seen eyes that color before. At least he was pretty sure that he had never seen eyes that color before. But they were beautiful on her. The girl seemed to look around and try to loosen up her neck. Then her gaze fell on Newt. They made eye contact, which Newt immediately broke. He was awkward when it came to looking people in the eye. Especially girls. He wondered if he was that way in his former life. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a quiet voice.
" Who are you? "
He looked back at the girl. She didn't seem scared. Just confused and nervous. So was he.
" I'm Newt, " he replied. " Who are you? "
" Esther, " she replied. " Where did you come from? "
" The Maze. What about you? "
Now she looked really confused. " That's not possible. "
Now Newt was confused, and he could feel it show through his face. " How is that not possible? "
She stared at him for a moment, then replied. " Because I'm from the Maze. "
So there' s chapter one. Sorry it was so short. The other chapters will be longer. Please review! I would love to know your oppinion on Esther so far. And the story. Thanks guys!
