Luna's P.O.V.
It was still early in the morning, the walls of the glade kept out the sun since they're so tall. I was just sitting in the grass looking up at the clouds, it's so peaceful here. I lied backwards, my hair getting tangled up in the grass. I just want the whole world to be like this and not just this tiny area. This isn't home, this isn't normal.
I heard foot steps in the distance, I sat up to it was Newt. I sigh and lay back down on the ground.
"What, you aren't happy to see me?" He asks with sarcasm in his voice. I sigh has he sits down next to me.
"No, it's just peaceful out and I don't want that to end." I closed my eyes as the sun breaks up the concrete walls.
"Well I'm sorry to burst your bubble but we got a job to do." He says standing up. I sat up straight turn my head to him as he started to walk away.
"What job?" I shout over to him. Ugh, he never tells me anything, nothing important. I don't belong to Newt, I don't belong to anyone. I'm not an object.
I walked over to the maze, how hard could it to find the exit.
"Luna stop!" It was Teresa, she came running at me. She stumbled as she reached me.
"What I'm just taking a look around." I start walking forward a little bit more, but she punts a hand in front of me to stop me. "Its fine, I know my way around..."
"Wait what?" Crap it just slipped. "What do you mean?" I grab her arm and we walk deep into the maze. Not far but far enough from anyone to hear us. "Werent supposed to be in the maze, not now. Gally is gonna have our heads."
"I know, but I need to tell someone." She looks at me ready to listen. "I remember some, some about before the maze, I know why the girls are here and your not going to like it." I hesitate to continue but I need to at least tell her.
"They have change the plans of the Maze Trials." I say, shortly after we see Thomas and Mihno running for their lives. "Run! Run Teresa!" Thomas screams as my feet take off from under me. The four of us charge for the doors, we made it just as the concrete gears start to churn.
The boys stop working as they come over to meet us. Teresa didn't look me in the eye after I said that. Newt pushes through the crowd as him and Thomas start talking.
"Luna, what were you thinking?!" Minno says to me. "You could've been trapped out there." He snaps at me. "Yeah like the night you and Thomas were stuck."
"So could've you, again! I know the maze better than any of you. Stop treating me like I'm glass, I know more than you know. Yes I have been lying to you, yes I know the way out. Yes I know Wicked is good!" I scream at them. I had to get that off my chest. Ava was right, I would cave in. But will it be i like she said it will?
"Luna what are you talking about?" I flinch as Newt reaches out for my hand.
"I mean, I have been deceiving you. I know everything, I know you names. You age, I know everything. It was all apart of the plan, from wicked." I start sweating as I run past them into the forest, I had to get away. Away from Newt. I was depressed, I never felt like this before.
I remember when me and Newt would sneak out, get on top of the rooms and enjoy the night sky. He used to love me. I'm glad that wicked decided to keep us I don't think he'll even talk to me after what happened. I don't think anyone will talk to me, or believe me. Gally was right, I did know more than I was letting on.
...
Newt's P.O.V.
After what she said I couldn't believe it, she took off into the woods and after a minute I chased after her. The mud stuck to my boots as I tread through the thick forest. Luna was nowhere in sight.
"Luna!" I shouted her name, but she must be ignoring me. Even though she betrayed us, she hasn't done anything wrong. She just remembers information. I shouted her name a few more times before the sun had set on the glade. I made my way out of the woods following my foot prints back out of it.
I spot Luna walking in with the others, they were having a gathering, this isn't going to end well...
...
Luna's P.O.V.
They found me in the woods sitting there next to a tree, one of the boys grabbed my arm pulling me up. I resisted as the other guy kick one of my legs out from under me.
I hear Newt shout my name in the distance, but the gladers pulled me in the other direction.
They force me over to a building that bad been built into the ground. The small amount of sunlight that was left in the sky was piecing through the wooden boards above our heads. The boys dragged me over to a seat in front of the room forcing me to sit.
People started pouring into the house as I just sat there in silence. Last but not least Newt walks in staring at me with his daring eyes. He walks down the center aisle towards me but is quickly stopped by Gally.
"What do you think you doing?" Gally says putting a hand to his chest. Newt pushes him out of the way, God he was angry, what for?
"She did nothing wrong!" Newt defends, "she did everything wrong by lying and not telling us and acting like a lost puppy!" Gally screams at Newt the blood drains from my face, those words hurt. I stand up walking over to Newt.
"I can't trust you, but you need to tell us everything you know." I smile at him as he grips my shoulder.
"Ok, Newton." I smile at him before standing around him. "I didn't regain my full memories back until I met Thomas here yesterday, before that I was acting." I told all of them directing it as Gally.
"The only way were are going to survive and make it out of this place is to flow the leaders, Thomas and Mihno. They know the way." Thomas looks at me like I have 3 heads.
"Luna, how'd you know that? We haven't even told anyone about that yet." Mihno says looking up from his feet into a defensive stance.
"Like I said I know a lot. We all had friends some that will join us, girls of course. We all belong to someone." I place a hand on the back of my neck. As the sounds of winds and metal we all rush over to the box.
"What is this almost everyday now?!" Thomas says. "I thought you said it was every month?"
"I was like that, now I think it's everyday." The wind was getting worse as we rushed over to the box. It had already come up. Newt and Gally lift up the lid to have seen another girl. Thank god, we need girls to over power the smell of B.O.
Gally jumps in, "I think she's dead." There was only one other crate in theme box, it wasn't heavy Newt had said when Gally past it up.
""What's in it?" I say, Newt stumbles to open it.
"Come on, the bloodshot won't open." Newt say as I take it from him smashing it on the ground. The dark winding night was lit up by torches which weren't going to last long due to the wind. What was in it, we couldn't see, it was just too dark. We grabbed everything that was in it and rush into the closest building.
Me, Newt, Thomas, Mihno , and Teresa placed what we gathered on the table. It was a bunch of bags. The one I grabbed had a note inside of it. I proceeded to pull it out as well as the others did with there bags.
Dear Gladers,
We have sent another girl up upon you. We are giving you women, this is going to sound completely and utterly strange, but. Our world has lost hope, we are in need immunes, the only way to complete that is to create another maze Trials are going to over soon. We need you to escape within the next few days and this is not a choice, but a must before we send in the "greviers" as you call them. With love and respect my dearest friends, I treat you like you are my children.
-Dr. Ava Paige.
Wicked is good.
I hand the note over to Thomas who was next to me as I grab the next bag.
"Like that's not terrifying at all." I hiss sarcasm through my teeth. Thomas's face changed multiple times while he was reading the note.
"Okay yeah that's a little freaky.." He hands of the note to Mihno. I pick up a small bag and lift it upside down revealing smaller packets. I picks up on and poured it into my hand.
"Pills?" Newt looks at my hand, "more like drugs." I lift my shoulder with the expression 'what the check" and plopped them into my mouth. Mhhhhhh it tastes so good.
"Luna.. where did you put them?" Thomas asks suspiciously, I mumble "in my mouth."
"Luna, we don't know what those things are!" Newt warns me.
"What it's not like it's gonna, gonna.." the world spins around me as I grip the table. Faint sounds of my name pass through my head as I slipped into complete and utter darkness.
...
I wake up on my side it the same state I was before, eyes closed. I could hear and sense everything around me. Someone gripped my hand hard and I flinched.
"Hey Thomas," it was Newt, I recognized that accent anywhere.
"Still hasn't woken up yet." He doesn't answer, but can guess her shook his head.
"Any news on her, the girl who came in last night?" Newt asks Thomas.
"Well she definitely isn't dead, her name is Tatum. But she isn't cooperating, kinda like Teresa but less rocks." I gain more conscious, I open my eyes.
"What happens with Teresa and rocks." I say sitting up rubbing my eyes.
"Hey your ok." Newt says grabbing my hand.
"You know what did was stupid, I mean dangerously stupid. You could've just killed yourself." Thomas snaps.
"Sorry," I mumble before rubbing my face. "What time is it?" I blink a few times recovering from being asleep.
"You've been asleep for two days almost." Newt says gripping my hand.
"I don't know what is it about you but," Newt hesitates to continue.
"Its ok, I get it. Your confused. Well I'll give you a hint, we used to do a lot of this-" I moved to the end of the bed where he was and our lips pressed together. Not only did he stay there, he kissed back. I had my Newton back. I fell back onto the cost our lips still pressing together.
"I missed you, you know." I laugh a little and he smiles.
"I see that now," we proceed to making out of the make-shift bed as the candle withers away from the wind...
Newt's P.O.V.
My arms were wrapped around he side, she was facing away from me, breathing slowly. I picked up the blankets removing myself from the bed. She moans a little switching sides of the bed.
As soon as I walk outside the sun shines in my face blinding me. Gally and Thomas seem to be in an argument, what's new? I jogged over there with the other gladers standing next to Mihno.
"Well maybe you should start doing things a little bit differently around here." Snaps Thomas, directing it back at Gally who shrugs him off.
"We have rules for a reason, sure why don't we just break them all! Let Thomas lead us into the maze for are most curtain doom, why don't you let the new greenies take us in, one of them already seems to know the way!" Gally shouts pushing through the crowd.
Luna had just come out of the hut, Gally walk past her forcefully pushing her backwards on her back. Gally stormed off entering his workshop.
"Mihno pushed passed me, "I'll go talk some sense into him." He jogs off as I sprint to Luna who is recovering.
"What is his problem?!" She says regaining her strength to stand. I place my arm around her waist helping her upwards. Gally was going to do something to the others as well, the other girls. We can't let that happen. We have to leave soon.
