Greetings, greenies! I apologize that I have not updated this story in a while. Besides rewriting The Red-Eyed Wolf, I had a massive case of writer's block for this chapter. I apologize that this chapter is very short. I hope this chapter please you guys.
Enjoy!
After reporting to Nick and Alby, Belle has the rest of the evening to herself. There were a few hours before dinner and Belle didn't want to waste them on fooling around; the gladers were still suspicious of her, so Belle wanted to help as much as she could to gain their trust. The greenie went to themed-hut and asked the only medjacks, Clint and Jeff, if she could help them with anything. After a few minutes of arguing silently, the two boys finally agreed to let the greenie help them sort out the medicine that they got the day the greenie arrived. Belle began immediately sorting the medicine, eager to help. Secretly, she was relieved that at least a few of the gladers were not treating her as some disease to their world. Hopefully, the others would warm up to her soon. That is, if they didn't banish her...
Though Chancellor Paige, Janson, Thomas, Teresa, Aris, and Rachel were ecstatic that the Maze was finally completed, Belle and Ben were not sharing their joy. Though the twins were proud to help W.I.C.K.E.D. in any way to find a cure for the Flare, they didn't believe that sending children to their deaths just to see how their mind would react was the best idea. But the opinions of theirs would never be taken into account. What mattered was what Thomas wanted. That would explain to anyone who saw the siblings sulking in the recreational center. They weren't exactly hiding. Though Ben sometimes tried to appease to Ava, the twins loved to make her life a hard.
While Ben kept punching the living daylights out of a punching bag, Belle kept looking in the reports of every teen that was taken in W.I.C.K.E.D.; since Paige was already choosing who would go the maze, Belle decided to see if there was anyone who might be related to them. When they were younger, Belle had heard that there was a kid that was their cousin from their 'father's side'. They were curious as to who this cousin might be, but hopefully, they would now figure out who it was before everyone was sent to their deaths. No matter what she did, there was always something that was prohibiting Belle from accessing the desired information. Getting frustrated, she threw her control pad off the desk.
"Woah, what did that pad ever do to you, Belle? In fact, what did the gym room do to deserve this from you guys?" Minho asked jokingly. If only he knew what was going to happen to him and the others.
"Nothing," Ben grunted as he continued to hit the punching bag.
"Come on, guys, "Minho whined, as he leaned on Belle, who was trying to get him off. Though he was rather fit, Minho was heavy. "Tell me, please. It's not like you Ben to be beating the crap out of the punching bag." To the annoyance of Minho, the two siblings still didn't tell Minho what was wrong. This kept going on for a few moments and yet the twins still wouldn't talk. After asking for the tenth time, Minho finally gave up. When he put away the punching bag, Ben suggested to prank Group B. As they were leaving, Belle's pad finally completed the download of the files that she was it the control pad finally shut down due to low battery, it showed every person that was 'related' to them. The pad's artificial voice spoke just as the device was retrieving the files and were being shown.
" Belle - Group A - the Mistake
Related Members; Chancellor Ava Paige - biological mother Director Janson -biological father Ben - Group A - The Fallen
Newt - Group A - The Glue - cousin from father's side
Sonya - Formerly known as Elizabeth- Group B - The Warrior- cousin from father's side"
A few minutes later after the control pad died, Director Janson walked into the room with a crew to clean up the place since there was a class that would be there in a few minutes. While he was looking through the control subjects' files, he noticed that Belle's control pad was discarded on the floor. That was strange of her to do that. Using his override code, Jandon managed to look up on his device what Belle was searching. When he saw that Belle was searching for other relatives, the Director used a code that deleted the files that Belle had found. He and Paige agreed that the twins shouldn't know that they have another family that is here in W.I.C.K.E.D. As it was, Paige had a hard time controlling them, unlike Teresa and Aris who aimed to please Paige. Janson could only imagine what Belle would do if she knew that Ben and her long lost cousins, Sonya and Newt, would be some of the first to go to their designated mazes. But for now, he would only focus on the present...
