Chapter Four
Newt leads me to an area with a few holes in the ground with a cage door over them. Great...this is going to be such a fun time.
He opens the door and holds it open for me. "Oh, thank you." I say and jump in. He chuckles softly and waits for Thomas to get here. "And why are you putting me in here again?" I ask sitting down in the far right corner. "So you and Thomas can figure out why he knew what you were thinking." He says as Thomas walks up and jumps in. He looks at me quickly before sitting in the corner across from me. "Have fun kids." Minho says running past us. Newt shakes his head and closes and then locks the gate.
I sit there trapped in my own thoughts about what Gally said, and Thomas doesn't try and say anything to me.
Why would he say to stay away from Thomas? The one person who was nice to me from the first moment he saw me, and I have to stay away from him? Even if I manage to do that he probably won't leave me alone. Then the last thing he said...then die. What does that even mean? I'm not going to die in here...am I? Not possible it's just Thomas and I in here with nothing to hurt each other with. He's not going to kill me. What am I even worried about? Oh right, Gally!
"Amelia!" I hear Thomas say snapping me out of my trance. "What?" I ask and look up at him. "You've been staring at the same spot on the wall for about about forty five minutes. Is everything okay?" He asks and I nod. "Oh wow, yeah sorry I was trapped in my own head then." I say and he nods. "What were you thinking about?" He asks and looks down at the corner to his right. I shrug eve though he can't see me. "I don't know, the whole day." I say and he nods. "So are we going to talk, or just sit here?" He asks and I look at him. "I don't know, I'm just thinking." I say and he looks up at me. "Please don't tell me you're thinking about Gally."he said and looked at me. I guess my eyes told the story because a moment later he smiles a little.
"I just get short bursts. And I know these thoughts aren't mine, they just feel different and it kind of feels like someone else is in my head. All I know is that you're worried about him doing something, but I don't know what." He says and I just look at him. "How is this happening? Because thats true." I say and he looks down running his hands through his hair. "Gally just needs to warm up to you." He says. "You're lying Thomas, and I know you are. He punched you in the face and said you're apart of something that's not good." I say and he nods like it's completely normal for me to know what he's thinking. "It feels weird doesn't it?" He asks and I nod. It really does, it feels like someone is in my head. It's weird, I can feel him in my head. While I know I'm feeling anxious and a bit uncomfortable, he feels calm and a little bit nervous but not as much as me.
"How can I feel your emotions?" I ask after a period of silence. "I don't know, all I know is that you're calm, how are you calm in a situation like this?" I ask and he laughs softly. "I've been I the maze for about a month, I got used to the crazy." He says and I even manage a small smile. "You know what, I'm going to try and go to sleep." I say and curl up against the wall. "Sleep tight greenie." He says and I smile a little. "My names Amelia, don't over use it Tommy." I say and he laughs softly before I can hear him settle into the ground.
I try to fall asleep but I can't. It was just today when I woke up in this Maze thing. I can't believe that I got threatened on my first day here. I was just carving my name in the wall and Gally said then die...I don't get why I would die. I don't want to die, and I don't want to face Gally. Why am I so terrified of him? He's just a boy, he's my age and my height. All I need to do is avoid him and then I don't have to worry about him threatening me or him hurting me.
I try for hours to get to sleep but I can't find a comfortable position. "Can't sleep either?" I hear Thomas ask from the other side causing me to jump a little. "Maybe." I say softly and look towards him. "Come here, we can use each other for pillows." He says and I laugh softly as I get up and walk over to him. It's just an excuse to get close to me probably but I don't care. I feel safe with him so it really doesn't matter.
I sit down next to Thomas and he quickly wraps an arm around my shoulders and pulls me a little closer. I put my head in his shoulder and close my eyes, hoping that this'll work. I keep thinking about my day but soon the thoughts fade and the darkness of night washes over me.
