Happy Wednesday Day humans! Another chapter for you guys! I'm sorry my updating schedule has been out of whack, it's just I have been on vacation and have been really busy. So I apologize, I would like to thank Did-I-Do-That for following the story and ChildhoodFun and jokersgirl10 for favoriting the story.

Anonymous: Very exciting things are happening! I will not reveal any information about what's going to happen in the events to come. That's for you guys to find out later and me to know. Right, so I am going to explain this. We all know how Teresa triggered the ending and all that jazz. But in this story, there really isn't going to be much of her until The Scorch Trials, so in my story Thomas will have triggered the ending before he entered the Maze. I made up my mind and decided that it's gonna be little hard without her in the book, so I decided that she will appear in Thomas' dreams and tell him WICKED is good and stuff like that. Those are all good first kiss ideas, I wanted to have their first kiss towards the end of book one and sorta kinda have them acting like a couple in the second book. But there are major things planned for thr Death Cure, please keep up the first kiss ideas, I would love to hear some more.

Guest: Thank you for explaining the tattoos, if you have anymore ideas let me know!

Lynn and Newt quickly stood up and burst into the room to see Alby thrashing around with his hand on his neck, as if he were trying to choke himself...which he was. They twins immediately took action and they both ran over to Alby's bedside,

"Tommy grab his legs!" Lynn commanded as she worked to get Alby's hands off his neck, while Newt pinned his shoulders to the bed. When Thomas went to get a hold of his legs, Alby kicked out his left foot and struck Thomas in the jaw. He stumbled backward and rubbed the sore spot on his face.

"Just bloody do it!" Newt shouted. Thomas then jumped on Alby's legs, securing them in place. Lynn placed her knee on Alby's shoulder and, inch by inch, moved his hands off his neck. She did her best to press his hands above his head, then he calmed down. They all stayed in the same postions for a minute until they all slowly let go, of Alby's arms and legs. The leader looked up at Newt with heavy eyes, sleep almost overtaking him. "I'm sorry Newt." he whispered, voice dry and raspy. "Don't know what happened. It was like...something was controlling my body. I'm sorry..."

Newt, Lynn, and Thomas all took in deep breaths.

"Sorries nothin'," Newt panted, "You were trying to bloody kill yourself."

"Wasn't me," Alby whispered, "I swear."

Newt threw his hands up and slapped them on his legs, "What do you mean it wasn't you?!" he exclaimed.

"I don't know... it wasn't me..." Alby trailed off, finally drifting off into sleep. Newt and Lynn met Thomas' gaze and motioned to the door. Just as the three of them were about to leave, Alby mumbled something from his bed. The trio stopped in their tracks, "What?" Newt asked. Alby opened his eyes a little and repeated what he had said, "Be careful...with your sister... their gonna.. t-take her back..." His eyes slid back shut. Lynn's face paled, who was going to take her, why would they want to take her?

"Let's go," Newt murmured.

"Newt?" Alby called again.

"Yeah,"

"Protect the Maps." Alby finally passed out, his even breaths being the only sound in the room. Lynn, Thomas, and Newt quietly left the room, softly closing the door behind them.

Thomas and Lynn followed Newt as he hurried down the stairs and out of the Homestead and into the bright afternoon sunlight.

"Hungry you too?" Newt questioned once they were outside.

"Hungry?" Thomas exclaimed, "I feel like puking after what I just saw. So... no I'm not hungry."

Newt grinned, "Well, I am and I think Lynn is too, so lets go get some leftovers from lunch. We all need to talk."

"Somehow I knew you were going to say that." Thomas said, letting a small smile grace his features.

"How did you know I has hungry?" Lynn questioned, looking puzzled. Newt tapped her forehead.

"Twin telepathy," he answered, making all three of them laugh. They made their way to the kitchens and were able to get their hands on the leftovers from lunch. After gathering the food, they decided to take it outside. They took a seat near a wall of thick ivy, Lynn watched as Thomas practically forced himself to eat his sandwich while she took small bites out of hers.

"Ever seen that before?" Thomas asked after a minute or so.

"What Alby did?" Newt asked, raising an eyebrow. "no, never have seen it in my life. But, then again, no one's ever tried to tell us what they remembered during the Changing. They always refuse. Alby tried to, must be why he went nuts for a while."

Lynn paused in the middle of chewing, she wondered if the people that controlled the Maze could possibly control them somehow. Her mind then wandered to what Alby said to Newt, be careful with your sister, their gonna take her back. What could that possibly mean?

"We have to find Gally." Newt stated, taking a bite out of a carrot. "Bugger's gone off somewhere. Soon as we're done eating, I need to find him and throw his bloody butt in the Slammer."

"Serious?" Thomas asked, Lynn could tell he was more than happy to hear that Gally was gonna get himself locked in jail.

"That shank threatened your life and more importantly my sisters life and we have to make sure it never happens again. The shuck-face is gonna pay a heavy price for what he did, he's lucky we don't Banish him. Remember what I told you about order."

"Yeah," Thomas said.

"Now," Newt began, "here's how it's gonna play out you two. Both of ya are with me the rest of today, we need to figure out somethings. Tomorrow the Slammer, then your all Minho's and I want you both to stay away from the other shanks for a while. Cause if any one even lays a finger on you or my sister, there's gonna be hell to pay. Got it?"

"Sounds beautiful," Lynn agreed.

"When's Minho going to train us?" Thomas added.

"That's right," Newt sighed, running a hand over his face and resting it on his cheek. "You guys are Runners now, Minho'll teach ya. The Maze, The Maps, everything. Lots to learn, Lynn knows a few tricks of the trade as well. But I expect you both to work your butts off." Lynn was glad she could go back into the Maze, after doing something for two years she wanted to continue doing what she does best. Running the Maze. A voice broke her out of her thoughts

"Hey Lindy Lou!" The trio's heads turned to see Minho approaching them, a smirk across his face.

"Minho, you don't get to train them until day after tomorrow." Newt said.

"I know, I know." He said, putting his hands out in front of him. "It's Lynn I wanted to speak to."

"Well, go on." Newt gestured for him to speak.

"I meant to speak to her alone you shank. C'mon Lynn." Minho held his hand out for her. The blonde looked over at her brother, who reluctantly nodded, and took his hand. He pulled her to her feet and began to walk away, his hand still clutching hers.

"Nothing better happen to her slinthead!" Newt shouted after them.

"We'll be fine!" Lynn responded, looking over her shoulder at her brother. The two walked to the Runner's Hut, behind the Homestead. Minho threw open the door and entered, but Lynn stayed outside. Not knowing if she could go in or not, Minho poked his head through the door way.

"You know you can come in now girly, you are a Runner and this is a Runner's Hut." He said, Minho stepped back into the wooden stucture, Lynn following close behind. As she entered, she took in her surroundings. The hut had a model of the Maze in the center, boxes were stacked up and pushed up against the wall, there was a trap door to the side that must lead to the basement. Lynn's gaze drifted to Minho, who was rummaging through one of the boxes.

"Aha!" The boy exclaimed, he stuck his hand in the box and plucked out a flower. It was a dried out white rose, brown dotted the petals, slightly wilted, but still held its beauty. He turned around and faced Lynn, he stuck his arm out with the rose in his hand.

"It's for you," he said quietly, "I found it among a wall of ivy a few days before you came." Lynn felt a blush rise to her cheeks as she took the rose out of Minho's hand. She could still smell the flowers pretty scent, "I get it if you don't like it." Her head snapped upwards and looked at Minho. "I mean it's old and it probably lost its scent. But-" Lynn cut him off by pressing her lips on his cheek.

"I love it Minho," A smile appeared on his face.

"Lynn," he began, "There's been something I wanted to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Well-" But before Minho was able to continue, Newt's voice rang in their ears.

"Lynn!" She winced, why did Newt always interupt them?

"Um- I have to go," Lynn tucked the rose behind her ear and headed for the door. She opened it and turned around to face Minho. "Thanks for the flower." She then darted out the door.

"What could you possibly want?" Lynn demanded, walking up to her brother with her arms crossed. Newt was standing with his hands on his hips outside the Kitchens.

"Dinners ready," he stated. "What did Minho want?" Lynn opened the door and went through, her brother close behind her. She stepped in the line for food and tapped her foot on the ground. He immediately took notice to the white rose tucked behind his sisters ear, he plucked it out of her hair and examined. "Did he give this to you?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact he did." Lynn took it from his hand and placed it back in her hair. The two continued to make small talk until Frypan gave them a plate with mashed potatoes and something that looked like meat. They sat at a table with a few other Gladers, Chuck, and Zart, a few minutes into dinner Lynn took notice that Thomas was no where to be scene. She turned towards Chuck and asked, "Where's Tommy?"

The boy took a swig of water before answering, "Last I saw him he was passed out against the ivy." The blonde nodded and continued eating. After dinner was over, Lynn was able to get her hands on a few blankets, arms full, she made her way to where Chuck said Thomas was. She found him curled up against the walls, Lynn laughed sliently to herself at the postion he was in. Thomas had his thumb in his mouth, eyes shut tight, knees drawn to his chest. Lynn took the blankets and placed them over him, a tiny smile appeared on his face as she tucked the last blanket under his chin.

"Goodnight Thomas." she whispered, before setting off towards the Homestead.
