The Arrival Of Rosa // (Maze Runner Fanfiction)

Chapter Twelve

"Which Keeper he gonna get?"

"I told ya, shuckface, he's a klunk, so he'll be a Slopper. No doubt about it." A voice said, and laughed. More boys pitched in, and soon everybody was making negative comments about the kid. I heard Gally making the worst ones, and I felt the anger rise up in me.

"I said shut your holes!" I yelled, and they shut up. "Thank you" I muttered sarcastically.

The Greenie was looking around, puzzled by where he was. When he met Gally's eyes, I noticed how terrified he got. Looking over at Gally, I realized his eyes were filled with cold hatred. Alby then started rambling on about how he'd give him a tour tomorrow. When he stuck out his hand for the kid to shake, he didn't take it. He just walked away and sat down under a tree.

I turned to Minho. "Do you remember anything about him? Anything at all?" I asked, and he shrugged.

"I'm not sure. I feel like I know him well, like we were really close before.." He awkwardly trailed off.

"Minho, what the hell is wrong with you? You've obviously been hiding something from me the past few weeks! Just tell me already!" I exclaimed.

"No, it's nothing.. Seriously. Nothing." He quickly said. Too quickly, to be honest. I glared at him.

"Tell me."

"No."

"Yes."

"Rosa, no."

"Minho, yes!"

He'd finally had enough. "Rosa, stop! It doesn't matter, you'd probably just laugh at me!" He stomped away.

"Minho, wait! I won't laugh!" I called, but he just kept walking. I sighed, and suddenly heard a scream. Looking over to the Greenie, I saw Newt walking towards the source of the scream.

I really wanted to go find out what caused the scream, but the Greenie looked lonely. I walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder, causing him to jump a bit.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked him, and he sighed.

"No, not really." He said, and I put my arm around him.

"Don't worry, you'll be okay. Yeah, you have no idea what the shuck is happening, but it gets easier. Trust me, I felt a lot worse when I first got here, being the only girl and everything. You're lucky. Besides, it's not that bad here when you get used to it." I told him, and he smiled weakly. "I never caught your name?" I said.

"Thomas, I think." He told me.

"Nice, mine is Rosa." I replied. I opened my mouth to speak, but I saw Newt approaching us.

"Rosa, it's Ben. We need you over by where the Builders work." He said stiffly, giving a slight glare to Thomas. I nodded.

"Right, I'll be there in a minute." I said, and he walked away. Thomas looked confused, and I took my arm off of him. "Sorry about him. He's my overprotective boyfriend. You'll really like him once you get to know him, trust me." I smiled, standing up. He nodded uncertainly. Suddenly he jumped up, seeing a Beetle Blade above him.

"That was one of them beetle blades." Chuck said, walking up to us. Knowing they'd be fine together, I took of running to where Ben was. He had been fine since the changing, nothing weird had happened to him. We were actually pretty good friends.

When I reached them, I saw Alby, Gally, and Newt struggling to hold him down. He had a wild look in his eyes, and he was thrashing about. "HE'S EVIL! HE'S GOING TO KILL US ALL!" Ben was screaming. I quickly got down and cupped his face in my hands.

"Ben! Ben, calm down! I'm here, just focus on me right now. Okay?" I said loudly, and he stopped screaming and thrashing. He was breathing heavily, and the weird look in his eyes went away. "What happened?" I asked him quietly.

"The Greenie.. He's evil.. He was the one I told you about. The one designing the Maze. He's working for the Creators!" I gasped. He seemed truly terrified of Thomas.

"Ben, calm down. It's all going to be okay." I told him, and he flipped out.

"No! It's not! We have to get rid of him!" He screamed. I didn't move.

"Shh, we'll talk about all of this. We'll make sure everybody is safe." I said, grabbing his hand. He nodded, and sighed. The five of us stood up, and Alby took Ben off to the Homestead. Gally went back to work, leaving Newt and I alone. He didn't say anything. "Okay, what's your deal?" I asked him.

"Well, maybe I'm annoyed because you're flirting with the bloody Greenie." He muttered.

"What the hell?! I'm not flirting with Thomas! He was afraid, and you know exactly how he feels. We all know how he feels." I stated, and Newt sighed.

"Fine, I'm sorry. I just don't want to lose you." He said, and I pulled him into a hug.

"You'll never lose me. We'll always have each other." I whispered to him.

It was starting to get dark, and I was going to go use the bathroom. As I approached the door, Gally stormed out. He glared at me, and I just shrugged it off, entering the bathroom. I saw Thomas and Chuck standing there laughing, and I smiled. "Did you two just piss Gally off?" I asked them, and they nodded. I grinned at them, pleased. "Good, he probably deserved it."

The two of them left, and I cleaned myself up. When I was finished, I exited the bathroom to see Thomas and Minho talking to each other. I pressed myself against the side of the bathroom, watching them. I couldn't tell what they were saying, but I had a feeling it was a good conversation. Thomas started to walk away, but Minho put his hand on his shoulder to stop him. He told him something, and they both smiled at each other. Then Thomas finally walked away.

I went over to Minho, and he jumped. "H-how long have you been here?" He quickly asked me. A plan started forming in my head.

"I heard the whole thing." I lied, hoping it would make him come clean. His jaw dropped in shock and fear.

"You can't tell anyone! Newt is the only one who knows! I-I just.. Gah I'm sorry.. Just.. I can't help feeling that way.." He trailed off. I was confused, but I continued anyways.

"Well, do you want to talk about it?" I asked him, and he shook his head. "Well.. Just saying.. I didn't hear anything." I smirked, and his face turned red with anger. "You have to tell me sometime!" I shouted, and I snarled at me. He spun on his heel and stomped away to the Homestead. I rolled my eyes, walking over to the Deadheads.

When I got there, I found Newt waiting for me under a tree. He smiled at me, and I did the same. "What took you so long?" He questioned as I sat down next to him.

"Eh, it wasn't nothing. Minho just won't tell me something. Apparently you're the only one who knows." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Oh, that.." He said awkwardly. I looked at him strangely, but ended up shrugging it off.

It was finally dark, and the two of us were laying on the ground together. He had his arms around me, and I was snuggled into him. His warm embrace was calming, and I let out a content sigh.

"Hey Newt?"

"Yeah?"

"You'll still love me when we get out of here, right? Even though there's tons of other girls in the world?"

Newt sat there in shocked silence.

"Rosa, of course I will! You're mine, you're the only one I love. No other girl could ever replace you." He said, hugging me tightly.

"Good." I said quietly, drifting off to sleep in his arms.
