AN: I won't possibly be updating for a week because I'll be going on a vacay, sorry about that! (::) Although I will try pre-writing some chapters and post them as soon as I get back home.
Disclaimer: I own my OCs and plot alterations, the rest belong to their respective owners.
Review and tell me what you think!
Madison (As Monroe), the Glade, early morning.
The following week was tedious in the Glade. Early mornings meant running and that lasted until late afternoon. Monroe decided to keep the kiss a secret, so that she would hurt anyone's feelings. Mainly Newt, that is. And she didn't know how to resolve the issue without ultimately revealing her real identity, so being secretive had to make do.
The week went on, and on, surprisingly fast. And before she noticed, she was already here for a month. That meant, someone was about to come up.
Waking up that morning, marked her month. She decided to wake up earlier in the mornings so she could eat without the noise and help out in the kitchen, which Frypan added extra food for.
She definitely looked a bit healthier. She was a bit heavier from the food but it helped her running. When she used to be lighter, she was always exhausted easily.
Right after saving her portions, she took a shower and got back to the kitchens to eat her breakfast, and grab her packed lunch for the running session.
Slowly, the Glade came to life again, despite the atmosphere of boys, it was peaceful at least. After her stunts, she was finally taken a bit seriously. There may be some jokes here and there but a glare usually shut them up.
"I still don't know why you wake up so bloody early." Newt commented as she took her packed lunch, going to the spot where she and Minho will meet up for the running sessions.
"Free food." She said simply. Newt's eyes widened.
"You think I woke up early because I'm an early riser? There's a motive in my earliness and despite sacrificing my sleeping, food is a priority." She replied, laughing.
Newt laughed as well. "You're really cunning, you know that?"
"I'll take that as a compliment, I'll be off now." She walked out of the mess hall and went to the North Gate.
The alarm for the greenie had finally rung that morning.
"Damn, I was hoping for another girl." A boy complained.
"Yeah, we couldn't call dibs on the last one." Another replied.
"A fat lil' bugger, this one. Help me out will you?" Newt faced everyone. The boy was currently unconscious but Newt could smell klunk and pee. Poor boy.
"I smell klunk! Is the greenie alright?" Alby complained.
"He's asleep but he definitely klunked his pants." Newt wrinkled his nose at the scent.
"Right, we'll lower down the rope and you're gonna have to carry him out. You okay with that?"
"Good that." Newt replied as the rope descended. Gally also jumped down as the rope lowered so he could assist Newt.
They got out the boy and asked someone to look after him as the rest got out the supplies, wrinkling their noses at the stench.
Like the last time, there was another device on top of one of the crates.
Alby remembered how it operated so he pressed the triangular button.
"Dollhouse, dollhouse, dollhouse, dollhouse, I see things that nobody else sees." A girl sang. And it played over and over again.
"What do you think it means?"
"I don't shucking know. Just get the supplies, shank."
By the time the duo made it back to the Glade, they knew of the greenie named Chuck. The others were already preparing the bonfire and by nightfall everyone was having a blast.
Monroe decided to give herself a treat and borrowed the guitar, everyone needed a little music to relax to, after all.
The owner was slightly hesitant but he gave it to her.
"Hey Newt, why is there only one girl?" Chuck asked as Newt took a swig from his bottle of Gally's brew.
"Dunno really. We got her a month ago, the greenie before you, actually."
"Oh," Chuck paused, thinking of a reply. "Do you think there's going to be another girl?"
"I don't know, Chuckie, I don't know." Newt retorted as he saw Monroe strumming the guitar.
The noise faded as the strumming got louder. Some stopped talking amongst themselves to listen to the music. It was mellow and gentle. So unlike of Monroe.
She began singing, her voice raspy, a contrast to the smooth sound of the guitar. She didn't seem too keen on being off-key though.
Can we go back to the world we had?
With a love so sweet it makes me sad.
Can we go back to the world we had?
It's the world we've been dreaming of.
Can we go back to the world we had?
Cut like diamonds, we were made to last.
Can we go back to the world we had?

I don't belong here,
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here.
You saw me spinning from the corner of your eye,
You saw me spinning like it's 1965.
You saw me spinning from the corner of your eye,
In the August light.
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here.

That struck a chord with Newt. Pun intended. He had a look of recognition.
This wasn't her.
She was different.
And he didn't realise it until now.
"Newt, you okay there?" Minho questioned.
"Yeah, just thinkin'." Newt replied.
"Monroe," Alby began. His suspicions were confirmed, the voice from the audio was definitely hers.
"Yeah? What can I do for you?"
"I need to ask you something tomorrow."
"I have all the time now, does it have to wait?"
"No, but I received the same thing you did today." Monroe raised her eyebrow. "The recorder thing you mean?" Alby nodded at the mention of the device.
"What did it say and what does it have to do with me?"
"I don't care what it says, it just sounds the same as your shucking singing voice."
AN: I got rid of the writer's block that tried to creep up on me with this. But I will need to adjust so I can write better chapters. Bear with me. Reviews encourage me! :)
