DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN BELLE AND A FEW OTHERS.
Belle POV:
Rachel has been in the Changing for three days and I hardly left her except for when Sonya, Harriet or Vicky managed to drag me away for something to eat or to have a shower but I felt guilty. My best friends was going though unimaginable pain and I was eating and showering, I felt like crying every time I heard her scream, but I hardly left her.
I sat at the table by the Kitchens as Sonya had somehow managed to convince me to leave the room to get something to eat, I had barely had two bites as everyone else was almost finished. When Florence came running over.
"She's away," She said excitedly she turned to me. "She's asking for you, Belle."
I jumped up and ran over not wasting a second to say anything else. I made it into the room and saw Rachel who's red hair was in small curls around her face her piercing eyes stood out from her face her face was expressionless.
"Rachel, are you alright?" I asked confused by her serious expression.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked cocking her head to the side.
"What? I don't understand," I said shaking my head slightly at what she had said.
"I told you everything, about the telepathy, the connection I felt to Aris, the way I felt guilt towards you."
"Rachel, you're confusing me."
"Don't play stupid, Belle," She said bluntly.
"I don't-"
"You were in another Maze, you know boys instead of girls. That ring a bell, Belle," She said sourly. "I'm your best friend and you didn't tell me."
"I wanted to but I couldn't," I tried to explain.
"Why not? You had plenty of opportunities to," She said shaking her head.
"They said they'd hurt him," I said in a small voice hoping she wouldn't hear.
"The English boy, what was his name? Newt?" Her eyes burned into me as I nodded my head.
"Look, I wasn't going to tell anyone, the only reason Sonya knows-"
"Sonya knows!" She said almost screaming.
"She threatened to Banish me and I panicked," I said as tears started to stream down my face. "I don't even know if he's alive."
My cried became louder as I sat down on the bed pulling my picture of Newt out of my pocket and handing it to her. "I'm so sorry for not telling you," I sobbed.
"I'm so sorry too," She said she too was crying.
"Why?"
"Remember once upon a time when I said I felt guilty with you?" I nodded. "I was one of the first to agree."
I cocked my head to the side confused. "What are you talking about? Was it your idea to separate me and Newt?"
I thought back to Cameron, I hated her. Rachel shook her head. "No, but they were close friends of mine and me and you were never close, barely even knew you. I don't know who's idea it was but me and Aris were the first two to agree to them. We only cared about the brain patterns I'm so sorry."
She agreed to separating me and Newt, she agreed to the torture that we were both going through or at least I was Newt could be happy or dead he might have forgotten me already. I quickly shook the thought out of my head.
I surprised myself by not being angry with Rachel, she agreed separate me and the boy I loved but that was the old her, this was the new her. My best friend.
I couldn't be angry even if I tried
Me and Rachel were crying so much that we couldn't see anything I pulled Rachel into a hug. "It's ok, it's ok."
"But-"
"That was old you not the new you,"
"I'll get you back to him," She mumbled into my shoulder, she mumbled the last part probably hoping I wouldn't hear but I heard anyway. "Even if it kills me."
"Don't you dare think like that Rach," I said shaking my head, the door opened.
"Oh, sorry am I interrupting something," A voice said. Sonya.
"No," Rachel said becoming serious again. "But I need you to call a Meeting."
"What? Why?" Sonya asked.
"I think I know how to get us out of here," Rachel said before looking at me smiling.
"Alright," Sonya said walking over to Rachel and seeing the picture of Newt. "Belle-"
"It's alright she remembered us from the Changing," I said.
"Alright." Sonya helped Rachel out of bed.
"Find, Aris. I'll find you both when I'm done," Rachel said walking over to the door. "I promise."
I looked at the picture of Newt that had fallen on the bed. I stuffed it in my pocket, smiling from ear to ear I went out to find Aris. With one thought on my mind.
I'm going to see Newt again.
