I'm so excited everyone! I got 1,660views! I am so encouraged to write more! I will update all the time as soon as possible. So, Nera, Newt, and Thomas got away from the Griever. Let's contiune...
We all walk and sit down, leaning against the walls. It's almost morning and the gates should be opening up soon. I am tired from not having sleep and tears roll silently down my eyes. I barely notice the tears. A slow, dull pain has come to my shoulder, hurting more every second. I am so tired, if not for the situation, I could probably sleep for five days straight. Unluckily I am in this situation, and there is no time to sleep. Minho and Will come soon after.
"Wait? Where it'd go? Shuck, you guys aren't dead." Will says in surprise.
Minho seems to know how we got away already. I let Thomas explain how we got away. After Thomas tells them, Minho says we should head back. I let the boys walk a bit ahead of me walking a little behind. Minho and Thomas talk to each other and Will looks at the ground, Newt slows down and starts to walk beside me.
"Nera, are you okay?"
Which does he mean? Physically or emotionally? Does it even matter, I'm not fine in either category. I'm going to have nightmares the rest of my life. My shoulder's pain is on the verge of being unbearable. I want to answer, I don't want to ignore him. So, I answer his question with a question of my own.
"Are you okay? You ran, and I saw that you have a limp."
"No, I'm not okay. I already have run into one of these before."
I am surprised at his answer. Not the answer 'no' but the fact that he has run into one of these before. How does he sleep? I feel like I could, but it'd be filled with nightmares, from which would scare me from ever wanting to sleep again. I ask a question again though,
"Then why did you hop down and get chased by it?"
Again, his answer surprises me.
"Because. You dying scares me more than being chased by the Griever."
What? Why would he care if I die? Is it because I'm his friend? Or is it because maybe I know things about his past. I'm about to ask another question when he shushes me.
"Nope. You answer my questions now."
I nod, I want to ask more, but it's only fair if I answer some of his questions too. Unlike before where I avoided them.
"Okay same as before, Nera, are you okay?" He asks, it confuses me why he cares so much.
"No." I answer, waiting for another question. I decided to just answer truthfully, because he did, and I am really not okay. He is about to ask another questions when we reach the gates. I note to continue this conversation later. The gates screech as they open, hurting my ears. Everything hurts. As they open, I see faces of a bunch of boys, they seemed surprised. Guess they thought Thomas surviving one night was a lucky action.
"We need Med-Jacks!" Thomas yells, and two boys run forward.
We follow them into the Homestead, and turn into a room I've never been in before. In this room lay a boy and a girl. I look at the girl. I know her. It's Teresa. One of the things I remembered. Teresa is a traitor. I gasp and stumble back as my vision blackens. I don't know what's happening...
It's me. I am in a white room arguing with Thomas. He wants to help them, but they're bad.
"Thomas, why? They took away everyone, they took away Newt." I remind him.
"Teresa wants me to help them, they want me. They said they won't send us there." He says.
I want to go there though, I don't want to watch Newt from cameras. Even if it's living horribly I want to be with him.
"What am I suppose to do. Watch Newt from the camera for the rest of my life?" I tell him. He looks surprised.
"Nera?!" Newt says shaking me awake. I'm on the ground. "What happened?"
I look into his blue eyes. "I got a memory back."
