Try Me (Newt x reader)

Vanish In The Maze

Since you had come up from the box you had always felt a draw towards the walls, you couldn't place the feeling but you knew you needed to get out there. When you were pulled out of the box you recovered from the initial shock you looked around to see the walls.

You immediately asked the boy -Newt- who pulled you out of the box, what was beyond them.

"Another time, later. Do you remember your name?"

"Course, it's Y/N.

"Do-Do you remember anything else?"

"I-I don't know, I remember that I love music but I don't know my family? Do I have a family? Where am I from? I have so many questions. Do-"

"Relax, don't worry, it happens to all of us. You can only remember your name but nothing else." You were slightly calmed by this but not by much.

"What's out there? Can I go out there? Who are they?" Two boys had just come running back from outside of the walls.

"Great, dammit, Minho. Well, out there is a deadly maze, you cannot go out there and they are runners, that means that they explore the maze."

"...Okay then..."

It was well into the night during the monthly greenie bonfire when Newt approached you, swaying slightly on his feet. He meandered over to you clutching a jar of amber liquid.

"Here, gree-Y/N. Try some" you took the jar, thanking him before taking a mouthful. You pulled a face before handing the jar back to him.

"Whoa. Minho! Come check this out!" he screamed with wide eyes.

"What? What did I do?"

"Newt! Hey Newt, what's up?"

"Y/N here just took a mouthful of Gallys drink and didn't even spit a bit out or gag!"

"Really? I doubt it. Here try some more, Greenie." You took Minho's jar.

"It's Y/N." you looked him dead in the eye and drank, not flinching once. You handed him back the

jar and laughed at his stunned expression.

"What? Didn't think a girl could drink?"

"What? No! Most of these shanks couldn't drink a sip without throwing up their dinner" he chuckled, you smirked a bit at that comment, knowing you could easily out-drink half of these guys. You looked around for the more-than-slightly-drunk blonde you had seen moments before only to realize he had wandered away sometime during the conversation. You turned back to MInho, trying to find out more about the infamous walls.

"So what's the deal with the walls? Why isn't anyone allowed in?"

"Later, you'll find out tomorrow" with that he walked away. At this point no one would tell you anything and you were getting really frustrated. You decided to go to head in for the night and confront Newt and make him tell you everything. You eventually wandered your way over to Newt

"Hey Newt, I'm getting tired so I think I'm just gonna go to sleep now. See ya tomorrow." You walked away before he could respond, heading over to what he had told you was the Deadheads. You wandered a fair bit in and found a nice tree, lots of strong, leafy branches. You climbed about half way up before finding a nice couple of branches to sleep on comfortably. You toss and turn for a few minutes before you hear could hear a loud rumbling shaking you to your very core. You deftly jump down from your niche in the branches and run towards the sound. You wheeled around to see the walls moving at an impossible speed, closing. You looked around checking to make sure no one was watching you and dash into the maze. You had been so caught up in the moment to think about what you were doing you hadn't thought about what you would do if you actually found yourself in the maze. It was too late to do anything about it now. Whatever, you only live once amiright? Ahahah I'm gonna die in a maze alone. Great. You decided to check the place out, after all, it didn't look like the doors were opening back up anytime soon. You started walking to your left and came to a fork, you decided to turn right. You started walking before you heard something whirr click click you turned around only to see a dead end, something weird was definitely going on. As soon as you turned back around you saw what looked like a giant slug with 5 or six mechanical legs and other saws, stingers and metal appendages sticking out of what could only be its body. You froze as it slowly crawled towards you making hissing noises but, they sounded, almost gentle? It was a few feet away from you as it slowly sank to the floor curling up into a ball at your feet like some sort of animal. Sure they looked terrifying but hey, if you die tonight you're gonna go out with a flare. You slowly bent down and ran your hand along the ridge of its head, feeling the creature lean into your hand. You plucked up a little more courage and jiggled your hand on its head where a normal animals fur would usually be. You quickly realized that this creature was clearly something that could easily tear you to shreds but yet you knew that it wouldn't hurt you. You were finally getting comfortable with the giant mass of slug and machine when you heard another. Whirr click click Whir click click. You turned around to see another one, it slowly approached you the same way the other one did, sinking to the ground at your feet. You finally understood that they wouldn't hurt you, maybe, just maybe, they would even protect you. You eventually sat down with them, leaning against the wall absentmindedly stroking their heads. When the bone chilling sound of the doors opening lurched you awake it suddenly dawned on you, you had no idea on how to get out. You had hoped that in the aftermath of last night's bonding session the metal slugs might help you out. After all, what other options did you have?
