I grunted as I dragged Newt across the maze ground.

He was too heavy for me to carry by myself so I had to drag him by the legs across the ground. I was sure that he was going to be sore when he woke up because the ground wasn't exactly smooth.

I propped Newt up against a wall and sat down beside him, panting.

The sun was high in the sky and I still wasn't even close to the maze doors yet.

I looked at Newt, but immediately looked away. I felt uncomfortable around him now that I had admitted my feelings to myself.

A cough escaped my lips, followed by some blood.

I had forgotten.

I was stung. I was still going insane. I was still going to die.

The worst part was that I actually wanted to live now.

Not just for Minho. I wanted to be with Newt.

~o~

I screamed out of frustration and punched a wall.

"Lost. I'm fucking lost! Ugh!"

The river had taken us to a part of the maze that I didn't know of.

I had memorized about three quarters of the maze but we were in the quarter that I had never been in. What were the chances?

I looked around. I had no idea where to go.

Newt was still knocked out so I couldn't ask him. I didn't know whether to wait for him to wake up or try to get myself out of here myself.

There was a chance that I would end up wandering into a familiar part of the maze, but I could also end up getting more lost.

I turned to Newt. I needed to wake him up.

I sat down next to him and started shaking him. "Wake up!"

His head rolled to the side lifelessly.

For a split second, I thought that he had died.

Immediately, I put my head to his chest, listening for a heart beat.

Faintly, I could hear the thump thump of his heart.

I let out a sigh of relief.

"You enjoy cuddling love?"

I staggered back. "Newt!"

Newt gave me a grin then rubbed his eyes. "You have a thing for me, don't you love?"

I smiled, remembering my first day at the glade. "I was listening for a heart beat, idiot"

"Sure you were" He opened his arms. "If you want to cuddle, you can ask me anytime"

I gave him a disgusted look, but I had butterflies in my stomach. I knew that he was joking, but I wish he wasn't.

"Get up. We have to get out of here, plus I have no idea where we are" I said turning away from him.

I heard him groan as he got up. "Take it easy. We just survived a whole night in the maze. Do you realize how amazing it is that we aren't dead?"

"I guess I'm better at surviving then I would like"

Newt walked to stand beside me then started to look around. "Hate to break it to you, but I'm not sure where we are either"

My mouth dropped open. "Holy crap"

"It seems like we're lost"

"No shit!"

~o~

I fall to my knees. I was exhausted from walking all day.

A few hours had passed. Newt and I had spent all that time running around the maze, looking for a way out.

Newt tugged on my arm. "We have to go"

"But I'm tired" I whined.

Newt rolled his eyes. "I thought you were fit. Come on! It's going to rain soon and I want to make it to the Glade before that"

I was fit. What Newt didn't seem to know was that the sting was slowly taking my life away. It was draining away all my energy. My life force, some would say.

I took a deep breath then stood up. "Fine. Do you know this area?"

Newt looked around. "I think so. We're close to the exit, I think"

"I think isn't very reassuring"

"Better than nothing" Newt took my hand. "Let's go"

I walked as fast as I could, but there were so many twists and turns in the maze that I could hardly keep up to Newt, even though he had a limp.

Finally, I saw it.

The maze doors.

A smile flashed across my face.

Newt pulled my arm forward. "Hurry up Estelle"

I sped up my pace.

Thunder crashed above. I had a strange feeling that something was wrong.

I inhaled as my foot entered the Glade. Home free.

Or so I thought.

~o~

Gally shoved me to the ground. "What the hell are you doing back here shank?"

"What the hell do you mean?" I said standing up again. "I survived. I'm not staying there and you can't force me to"

"That's enough!" Alby yelled, breaking us apart.

I swallowed the blood that had rushed into my mouth when Gally pushed me.

My eyes scanned the crown for Minho. Where was he?

"She shouldn't be here Alby. You know that" Gally said. "She was banished into the maze. You can't just let her back in! Look at her!"

I touched my face. How did I look?

My arms and collar bone area were covered in bulging, purple and blue veins. At least, they appeared to be veins. Had the veins spread to my face as well?

Alby stared at me expressionlessly. I looked away. There was something about his gaze that gave me an odd feeling.

"Her name is already crossed off the wall. Lets just throw her back into the maze" Gally said, snapping Alby out of his trance. "Minho will never know"

My head shot up. "Minho? Where is he? What did you do to him!"

Alby raised his hands up. "Calm down, he's safe"

By now, I was breathing heavily. "No. You knocked him out. What happened to never hurting another Glader? Where the hell is he!"

"Estelle, calm down" said Newt from behind me. "Just trust Alby. He's probably running around in the maze looking for you"

My hands shook.

Finally, I let out a hostile grunt and pushed my way out of the circle of Gladers.

I made my way to my hut, surprisingly without anyone stopping me.

"We'll settle this tomorrow" I heard Alby say as I walked off.

As I was about to close the door, someone from the other side held it open.

I opened the door slightly, only to see Thomas. "I need to talk to you"

~o~

"What do you mean 'Who are you'?" I said. "You can't just burst in here, tell me all your problems then ask who I am"

"Well you can't just kiss me out of nowhere!" Thomas said defensively. "I thought that since you did that and had some memory, you could tell me who you were and how you were important. Anything that will help me figure out why I've seen you before"

I sighed. Telling him everything would most probably make things awkward, but at that moment I didn't even care.

"We were a couple" I said half heartedly. "We dated for about a year. It was fun. I remember you told me you loved me. I remember our first anniversary. You had taken me out at midnight and-"

I stopped myself. Why was I remembering all of this suddenly?

I looked at Thomas. His expression was unreadable.

Suddenly, he took my face in one of his hands and pressed his lips against mine. (A/N: Sorry Mina XD)

The feeling of his lips were so familiar, so welcoming. I deepened the kiss slightly before pulling back. What the hell just happened? What was I doing?

His hand was still on my cheek, our foreheads were still pressed together. "Your one of the only things I remember, I just don't want to lose anything else"

I avoided his gaze.

I couldn't face him. He was my first love. He was the first person I actually cared about. But I had left out one crucial detail in our relationship.

"Thomas..." I said quietly. "You're the reason why I was sent down here to die. Our relationship is over. You love someone else"

~o~

I lay in my hammock, thinking about Thomas.

Part of me wanted to be with him again, just like old times, but I knew it was wrong. He had always loved Teresa more.

But I missed him. Even if he wasn't my boyfriend, I just wanted to be with him as a friend. He was dependable. I could trust him. Or at least I used to.

The door of my hut flew open. Minho stood at the opening, dripping wet from the rain.

I sat up immediately. "Oppa!"

Minho threw his arms around me. "You're safe. I don't believe it. I'm so sorry"

I pulled him closer. "They're going to throw me out. I-I'm scared"

I felt his grip tighten on my shirt.

"No. They won't. This time, I'll make sure that no one lays a finger on you"

~o~

I waited anxiously in my seat for the decision to be made.

Gally was arguing with Minho about whether I should be allowed to stay or not.

"Everyone else that's been stung had to be banished. What makes her so special?" Gally said, motioning to me.

"Think about what you just said. What makes her so special. She's a shucking girl!" Minho argued back.

I didn't bother listening to much of what they were saying.

"Don't worry" Newt said patting my shoulder. "Do you want to go back to your hut? I'll come with you if you want"

I nodded then stood up. It wasn't requirement for me to be there. They didn't want me there anyways.

I sighed as I took a seat, leaning against the wall.

Newt sat down beside me. "Minho's going to convince them to let you stay, you know that don't you?"

"Of course I do"

But part of me didn't want Minho to see me in this state.

"Can I ask you something?" Newt said suddenly. "Noona means older sister. Oppa means older brother. Why do you call Minho oppa when you're older than him?"

I smiled. "Well, ever since we were kids, he would always act like the older brother. He would actually force me to call him oppa" I laughed a bit. "I guess I got used to it"

Newt shifted a bit to face me. He opened his arms. "You need to cuddle love? Sounds like you do"

I laughed. "No thanks. Go cuddle with someone else, you bloody hooker"

"Awh, come on love" Newt said as he wrapped his arms around me from behind. "I've never actually seen you show any affection for a Glader before, except for Thomas"

I poked Newts arm. "So what? Are you jealous?"

He scoffed. "Don't flatter yourself love, you're not my type"

"Then why are you hugging me idiot"

"Because you're so easy"

I pushed him a bit. "Easy? What do you mean?"

Newt rested his chin on my shoulder. "Nothing"

His breath felt warm against the bare skin of my neck.

"Why are you so close?" I stuttered a bit.

Newt turned his head ever so slightly to press his lips against my neck.

"Newt" I said stuttering more.

Newt pulled away and started laughing. "So what I mean? Easy"

I groaned as I pushed him. "You're such a bloody bastard!"

Newt hugged me. "Don't be so uptight"

"You're not even good at seduction. That was just plain awkward"

"Don't pretend you didn't like it"

I scoffed. "Don't flatter yourself love, you're not even my type" I said mocking him.

Before he could reply, the door of my hut flew open.

Minho stood at the doorway. His eyes darted from me to Newt, probably wondering why we were in this position.

As I opened my mouth to explain, Minho cut me off.

"I lost. They wouldn't listen. Alby wants to throw you out"
