The Glade 9

Newt couldn't believe what he was hearing. They're going to take her away from him. Newt couldn't let that happen. She was the only thing he had. The only thing Wicked hadn't taken away from him... for now.

"What do you mean they're going to kill you?" asked Newt with a quivery voice.

"In my dream I saw the people that work at Wicked and I saw a boy and girl, the boy had dark brown hair, brown eyes and the girl had dark brown hair and blue eyes." Said Gemma.

"What else do you remember," asked Newt, the more they talked the more he held her closer to him.

"Their watching us," said Gemma in between sobs, "I saw in the screen it showed my face and it said 'to be killed'," said Gemma.

"What if they just put that there to scare you?" asked Newt.

"Why would they do that? Do you think they were kidding when they brought 20 boys and one girl into a Maze and left them with nothing of their memories?" Asked Gemma. Newt didn't say anything he just held Gemma close to him. Wicked took everything from Newt, his family, his childhood, his memories, his life, but Newt was for sure that they weren't going to take away the love of his life.

The next day Newt woke up and Gemma wasn't next to him. He stared to panic but then he heard Minho talk.

"She's in her room Shank," said Minho trying to get up from his bed.

"Thank you," said Newt getting up from the bed but Minho said something else.

"Tell her thank you for not leaving me in the Maze," said Minho looking down at his thigh.

"I will," said Newt grabbing his shoes and running out the door. Newt found Gemma in her bed in the homestead, she was crying, a lot. Newt didn't say anything all he did was hug her, he hugged her until he could feel her heart beat. They slowly fell asleep again.

When Newt woke up, Gemma was still sleeping and he didn't want to wake her up so he stayed still. Newt got bored after a while so he started noticing little features of her face. She had a small mole next her left eye, her hair was medium brown, and her lips were dark pink. This might be the last day Newt will ever see Gemma again. Newt was going to do everything he could to save Gemma. Even if it meant scarifying himself.

When Gemma woke up they both decide to go tell Alby everything.

"Do you think he'll say I'm overreacting?" asked Gemma as they left the Homestead.

"No Alby's not that mean," said Newt, he took Gemma's hand and locked it with his. Gemma smiled at him. That was the first time Newt saw her smile in four days, a real smile not a forced one. When they got to Alby, they told him everything Gemma saw in her dream and what the screen said. Alby didn't say anything for a minute.

"I'm sorry but I can't do anything Gemma," said Alby.

"I understand I just wanted to tell you so you could know if something happens to me," said Gemma with a sad voice.

"Really? Can't you keep her safe from everyone in the Glade?" asked Newt getting mad.

"Newt, if I we're to do that I would have to take her away from you and I know that you don't want Gemma taken away from you," said Alby coldly. Newt didn't say anything after that, all he did was nod.

They made their way back to the middle of the Glade and decided to go have breakfast. Newt didn't eat any of his breakfast, neither did Gemma. They decided to go visit Minho in the hospital, one of the med-jacks came and told them that Minho was awake and that they could go in and see him. When they got inside they saw Minho, Minho was the only one in the hospital room.

"How are you feeling Minho?" asked Newt taking a seat next to Minho's bed.

"How do I look to you, shank?" said Minho with a hint of sarcasm.

"I was just asking to be nice," said Newt.

"I know and I'm sorry it's just that I don't have anyone to talk to, besides the med-jacks," said Minho looking down at his legs. "I don't know man, I'm starting to think that nobody likes me, no one has come to see if I was okay," started Minho, " people probably think that I'm faking everything."

"Minho why do you care about what people think of you?" asked Gemma.

"Well I live in a Glade filled with twenty boys and one girl, I would like to have at least two friends," said Minho.

"You have Newt and me, who else do you need?" asked Gemma.

"Well what's going to happen when you two leave me to go kiss in the woods?" asked Minho.

"We wouldn't go kiss in the woods Minho, we'd go kiss in are rooms," said Newt with a smirk.

"No we would stay here with you and help you recover," said Gemma trying to change the subject. "When do you get the bandages off?" asked Gemma.

"In a mouth, that is if I'm lucky," said Minho. When Minho was showing Newt and Gemma his scar on his thigh, they heard the loud sound of the box coming up.

"Isn't it too early for the box to come up?" asked Minho.

"Yeah, I'll be back you two stay here" said Newt disappearing threw the door.
