Chapter 2
-Marie POV-
Newt showed me around the island, dragging me to each and every place in this bloody island. At first, I tried to listen, but the tour seemed a lot like deja vu.
"Hey, can you stop the tour?" I asked. "You're bloody annoying me to death."
Glaring at me, Newt hesitated before muttering, "Fine."
"What's with that wall?" I asked, pointing at the wall. I smacked Newt's face in the process.
"She's a joke," he muttered. "That's the Wall that protects us from the Grievers."
"Grievers," I softly said. It sounded familiar to me. "It sounds like I've heard that term before."
"Better for you to tell Minho about that," he said, looking me over.
"Oh, shut your bloody mouth," I fired.
The Wall had a door that was opened, which tempted me into running in. Before I was able to do so, a guy ran from inside the Maze and fell on the ground.
The guy was tall, slightly taller than Newt, but not as tall as Alby. He had black hair, with ivory-colored skin, giving him the Asian look. He had brown eyes that glistened in the daylight. He looked like he was about 16 years old as well.
"Huh?" Newt said, looking confused. He didn't seem to be used to seeing a guy collapse from running in the Maze. "Wait, did you get stung?"
"No, you shank!" the guy snapped. "If you can't see, I'm tired!"
"What's his problem?" I asked to the person next to me. The guy shrugged. The collapsed runner flipped onto his stomach and looked directly at me.
"Why did you let a girl into the Glade?" he groaned. As much pity I felt for him collapsing, I couldn't stand being called a "girl."
As he tried to get up, I kicked him in the chest. An audible gasp filled the air as he fell down. Lightly putting my foot on his chest, I put my forearm on his throat. Slowly, I started putting more pressure on my forearm and foot.
"A girl?" I snarled, leaning my head closer to his. "Exactly what do you have against girls? That they just sit around doing housework and twiddling their fingers? Well, this girl doesn't do that crap."
Giving him a death stare, I slowly got myself up. Stalking off, I heard Newt exclaim, "Wow, can that girl kick butt!"
Turning towards him, I sweetly asked him, "Do you wanna be my next victim?"
Seeing the troubled face on both of them, I stalked off. Smiling to myself, I muttered, "Mission accomplished, shanks."
