Chapter 4
AN: I just fixed the formatting on my computer so it would be easier to read!
Frank soon fell asleep and began dreaming...
Frank saw her younger self seated in a classroom doing her school work. Her tongue was sticking out as she concentrated on her assignment.
She noticed the teacher was wearing a lab coat with the word WICKED embroidered on the breast pocket. Suddenly the door opened and younger Frank looked up from her work.
"Miss Frank, Chancellor Page would like to see you in her office." a dark haired man said dressed in security officer clothes.
Frank looked at her younger self. She was probably around 8 years old.
Younger Frank walked into the office and saw a nice looking older woman and 3 more kids her age.
"Miss Anne Frank, meet Miss Elizabeth Ross, Mister Isaac Newton, and Miss Danielle Bernoulli."
Frank saw the younger Liz without braces and she looked happy, holding the hand of a handsome blonde boy who looked about a year or two older than her. And he spoke with a heavy British accent.
"Hullo, I'm Newt. And this is my sister, Lizzy." The boy said as he smiled at Frank and extended his hand.
Then younger Dani spoke up. "I'm Danielle, but you can call me Dani."
Chancellor Page then started speaking again. "Miss Frank, these will be your partners minus Mister Newton. Mister Newton will be placed in a separate group of boys. I'm sorry Miss Ross, but you might want to say goodbye to your brother now because you might not see him again in a long time."
Frank saw the younger Liz sobbing into her brother's chest as he hugged her like a lifeline and his tears soaked her hair. Frank felt bad for her friend and how she was losing her brother.
"I promise Lizzy, I'll find you one day. I'll come back and protect you. I promise, I promise, I promise." Newt whispered into Liz's hair, trying to comfort his little sister.
Frank felt so saddened watching the scene that she wanted to kill WICKED for separating siblings like that.
She then saw Newt being forcefully pulled away from Liz by the guards and both siblings screaming at the top of their lungs for each other, just wanting to be together.
Frank saw Newt struggling against his restrainers, tearing up and yelling for Liz to be strong.
Frank saw her younger self just standing there dumbfounded.
Suddenly she heard a voice. "Frankie, wake up. C'mon. Don't make me bloody poor water on you."
Frank gasped awake. She saw Liz standing above her holding out her hand. The one missing the pinky.
Frank took the hand to get up and followed Liz. A little dazed from the dream and depressed from seeing Liz and Newt separated like that. It's a shame that they probably don't remember each other.
Liz led Frank through the Forest to a window covered in ivy.
"Alright, Frank. Look through the bloody window. But be careful. The bugger might scare you silly."
Frank waited anxiously for whatever lay beyond the window looking out into the Maze. Finally she saw a light and heard a clicking sound. She then saw a giant slug like creature with mechanical appendages sticking out. It looked like a mechanical spider covered in goo and hair.
Frank shrieked and fell on her butt as the creature jumped at the window.
"That, Frank, is a Beast. Let's hope you never meet one. I know you heard what it did to Dani. We might have only been here for 3 months, but we have learned to never go near those things. We don't know what they can really do. Who bloody knows, Dani could have been lucky."
Frank nodded, stills little stunned from finally seeing a Beast.
"Alright, let's get you some breakfast and then we can go meet Belle and the Doctors."
After Frank had a delicious meal consisting of oatmeal and eggs, cooked by Laurel, Liz led her to the House.
"Belle?! Are you in here?" Liz called out.
"Back here!" Came a muffled shout from the back of the House.
Frank followed Liz into one of the rooms toward the back of the House. She then saw Belle searching through cabinets frantically.
"What's got you so frazzled, Belle?" Liz asked with Frank hot on her heels.
"Oh! Hey Liz, Frank. I just can't find the disinfectant! I'm sure Nat is going to cut his arm off one day and I just need it handy. He comes in here almost every day!" Belle said exasperated.
"Well, I'll put a note in the Cage for you since it will go down in about," Liz checked her watch, "10 minutes. Catch you later! And I'll pick you up after lunch Frankie!" Liz yelled as she jogged toward the Cage.
"Okay. I'm not sure what you can do since there are no patients, but you can start by organizing some medicines. Just put the bottles that treat the same things together." Belle said as she moved on to look for something else.
After a couple hours of Frank's complete boredom, she realized she did not want to be a Doctor. It was too slow.
Later, Liz came back and Frank eagerly followed her to lunch.
After lunch, Frank was given to Lacey and the Farmers. Once again, Liz left to do her second-in-command duties. Frank missed hanging out with Liz.
She felt like Liz was her only friend. No one cared about the Newbie, but Liz did. Liz wanted to make sure everyone was happy and welcomed.
Lacey appeared from behind a corn stalk.
"Oh! Hey Newbie! Did Liz drop you off to work with us?" She exclaimed happily.
"Yep. What do you need me to do?" Frank replied.
"You can just start by picking the ripe tomatoes. The ripe ones are the bright red ones. And then when you're done you can plant some of these seeds in the rows Cat already dug up."
"Okay." Frank complied after taking the basket and seeds from Lacey.
After Frank was done she was sweaty, hot, and exhausted. Being out in the sun planting crops was not her cup of tea.
This continued on for the rest of the week.
The Builders were not very fun and Frank managed to hammer her finger about a hundred times.
The Slicers were just disgusting and Frank managed to puke after Nat cut off the chicken's head and blood squirted on her face.
The Recorder job was just as boring as the Doctors. Maybe even more as it was just Link and he didn't really have a job until a Newbie came up with the supplies, which already occurred that month.
The Chefs was just a disaster. Frank managed to burn the toast and almost set fire to the Kitchen. Let's just say, Frank could probably burn water.
The last job left was a Runner. But she couldn't try out for the job. Liz said only the best get picked after they prove themselves.
Frank decided, she just needed to prove herself. She had this feeling that she was supposed to be a Runner. Like that was her destiny.

Newtie: Did you like Newt and Liz? Newt's my favorite character and I felt like I needed to include that. Will Liz ever see Newt again?
