{7} Suspicions

A/N: This one is set in and around TST. Xx

Y/N's POV
A storm of emotions was overwhelming Y/N: they had just escaped the Maze after spending 3 years trapped inside it, and were now moving onto an apparent 'safe haven'.

After Chuck died, (the grief over his passing still burned at Y/N's heart like acid), a team of black-clad men took her and the Gladers into a helicopter.

Something was nagging at the back of her mind, a feeling of missing one small detail causing her to feel nauseous; she knew something wasn't right as she sat in the helicopter beside Newt.

The one soothing detail to her was him- his presence, the comfort of his shoulder under her head and the warm hand wrapped around her own. After all, her boyfriend was always the one who made her feel safe.

Just as her exhaustion was about to weigh her eyelids shut, it clicked in her mind: how on earth did their 'rescuers' know how many people they were rescuing? And if they didn't, surely they would have come prepared for masses of kids?

Why was there only one helicopter?

This unanswered question caused panic to build in Y/N's stomach, but there was no time for her to do anything as right at that instant, they had landed.

~time skip~

Y/N's POV
Y/N's suspicions and curiosity got the better of her during her medical examination: she needed to know how they knew to bring only one helicopter- so she asked her doctor.
After a brisk reply, (which didn't answer her question at all), he began to fill a syringe as Y/N's fear and anxiety rose. His brisk actions and determined face tipped Y/N off.

"Did I say something wrong?" Y/N shakily asked, "What is that?"

When the doctor didn't reply, Y/N began to panic and moved away from the doctor.

"No, no- what is that? What is that?! No!" She raised her voice.

The closer he got, the further she went until he had grabbed her down by her arms, and she began to thrash around screaming. Still he held her there, inserting the tip of the needle into her arm and releasing the drug into her system.

"NO! WHAT IS THAT?! PLEASE- DON'T!! NEWT!" Y/N's shakily yelled, her eyes beginning to water as her voice wavered.

But her yells did nothing as the drug began to take effect, causing her to lose consciousness.
Silence swallowed her.

Newt's POV
Y/N was separated from Newt during his medical check up, something which didn't concern Newt that much until he heard a small commotion coming from a neighbouring room.
The same room they had led Y/N into not 5 minutes ago.

After a short burst of unintelligible yelling, Newt heard the one thing that made his blood freeze:

"NEWT!"

That was Y/N's voice. Those was her screams. And they were for him.

Suddenly his blood was no longer frozen, but boiling; furiously he jerked forward, about to run into the room before his doctor pulled him back down onto his back with surprising strength.

"Your friend is fine. They are simply sedating her to perform a small surgery behind her left eye. Had she ever admitted to a fear of needles perhaps?" She said.

The doctor's words stumped Newt as his look of fury turned to one of mild confusion. Y/N did always complain about not having the best sight, but she'd never discussed a fear of needles. Perhaps it was a newfound fear?

Deciding to ignore her question, Newt replied:
"Can I see her?"

"Not until after her surgery I'm afraid." The doctor stated, her veil of kindness replaced by a stoic expression.

"When will that be?" Newt pressed.

"Tomorrow perhaps, no one can be certain as of yet. It depends on how well her surgery goes." She said, finishing up his checks and exams, "Now, you're all free to go, so just follow the attendee at the door to your dorm where you can relax until dinner."

Resigning himself to agreement, Newt nodded and left.

Y/N's POV
Y/N drifted in and out of consciousness.
She struggled to lift her heavy eyelids but the feeling of fear was replaced by pure exhaustion, so she let it overcome her.
She fell into a smothering blanket of darkness once more.

Newt's POV
After Thomas came bursting in, yelling about how it was WICKED all along, we made our escape.
Our feet pounded against the floor in a thunderous drum as we ran into a medical room.
Thomas was looking for Teresa, and Newt was looking for Y/N.

Upon entering, Minho barricaded the door as Newt began tying up the doctors hands.
As this was going on, Thomas was waking up Teresa, before pulling back another curtain to reveal Y/N.
"Newt! Get over here, it's Y/N!" was all Thomas had to yell for Newt to appear by her side.

Gently shaking her by the shoulders, Newt could see the confusion cross Y/N's tired face as she woke up.
The sight of her unharmed brought a flood of relief to him- it appeared that even the doctors at WICKED were professional liars, as Y/N's eyes were exactly the same as they always were.

"Newt? What's going on?" She blearily asked.

"We're escaping. It's WICKED Y/N, it's always been WICKED. Come on love, take my arm and I'll help you up, we have to get out of here now."

Asking no further questions, Y/N took his arm and he pulled her up. She stumbled slightly into his arms before he steadied her, gently grasping her shoulders, and looked around briskly.

Seeing Thomas trying to break the glass, Newt let Y/N rest against a wall for a second before helping Thomas smash the mirror.
Turning back around, he helped Y/N up before lifting her bridal style and passing her over to Thomas.

Once Newt was over the glass, he took Y/N back from Thomas' arms and helped her as they ran.

Y/N's POV
After her rough awakening, Y/N was quickly becoming more and more awake as she ran- aided by Newt- until they reached the exit doors.

Groans of frustration came from Y/N's throat as she shakily looked to Thomas for leadership, only to see Ratman himself approaching their group.
Y/N could only make out snippets of their conversation through her still foggy mind, and then suddenly the doors were open.

After both her and Newt thanked Winston and Aris, their group ran.

They ran, ran and ran...
They didn't stop running from WICKED.
Not until they were running from the Last City as it fell, running away from destruction and towards hope.

As it turned out, once they reached the Safe Haven together, that Hope took form.
Years later, they both welcomed their baby girl into the world as the first baby born in Safe Haven.

A/N:
I have quickly edited the ending here, so it's not great but I hope it's atleast better than the original one!
Sorry for all the confusion!! 🙈
