A/N: So, I have to admit that Newt is my most favorite character in the Maze Runner series and I just couldn't resist writing a story about him.

Disclaimer: No matter how much I wish I owned Newt, the Maze Runner series and Newt both belong to the brilliant James Dashner. Oh, and I borrowed a small scene from the movie, not mine either.

And now onward my wayward men, to the story!

Chapter 1: Kitty

My heart beats out of my chest like there's no tomorrow, I hear my own ragged breath just waiting for my lungs to give out while I hear this pulsing in my ear. Through all this panic I barely register that I'm kneeling in a box like cage rapidly ascending. I don't really get to make any more observations when this blood curdling scream rips through my throat. The sharp pain in my mind, definitely way worse than a migraine, forces me to reflexively curl up in a ball, head in my hands being held between my legs facing the floor. I scream bloody murder for so long I feel my voice give out and my throat get all dry and scratchy.

The box suddenly stops, though the pain in my head doesn't, but I don't have the voice to scream anymore. Instead I go into this uncontrollable coughing fit. While still holding onto my head I flip onto my back just as the doors seem to open. A bright light suddenly enters the little box I'm trapped in, I automatically try and block the light from my eyes but I don't want to let go of my head, it still feels like something is ripping it in half. Through all the pain, confusion, and the bright light shining directly in my damn face, not to mention the vibration resounding through the box (seems like someone just decided to jump in and join me) a tear escapes my eyes. Right before everything goes black I hear a voice so faint I think it's a dream, but there's no mistaking that hand on my face that I wish I could just swat away though I'm too weak to do so. Along with astonished gasps I hear an incredulous voice say "It's a girl," as if it were a question.

You would think being in a coma would bring you some peace of mind, some time to think, but there's very little to think about when you don't remember shit. I was stuck in pitch black darkness for who knows how long with so many questions and no answers. I keep going back to the obvious questions, like why was I in so much pain, where am I, how did I get here? Every time I think of an answer I come up with a blank. I know nothing, I feel completely and utterly lost. I sit in the darkness feeling utterly hopeless for what feels like an eternity.

Suddenly I hear footsteps coming my way, making me realize I'm waking up soon, I can finally open my damn eyes. Where the hell did those boys put me? My train of thought gets cut short when I hear voices.

"What do you think they'll do with Kitty when she wakes up?"

"Honestly I have no idea. When I went to the gathering with all the keepers the majority was adamant with the decision to stick the greenie in the slammer. I mean I kinda get why, she is the first girl ever, the creators must be planning something or tricking us or …something, I don't know."

I feel someone touch my neck and my wrist. I just want to get up and bolt out of there, but I really want to hear this no matter how much I hate them touching me.

"The real question is, where is she going to sleep, I mean even if they do put her in the slammer for a few days I doubt Kitty would want to sleep outside with a bunch of guys after she gets out."

Whatever the slammer is it doesn't sound good. If they are going to put me in there I'll fight tooth and nail, I am not stepping foot in there!

"Maybe the shank'll end up sleeping here in the homestead. I know only the sick and injured stay here, but maybe Alby will make an exception."

"Yeah, or she'll end up sleeping with the keepers."

That's it! I can't take it anymore. Over my dead body am I sleeping with anyone, let alone the keepers, whoever they are! I get up so fast I feel my head spinning, but I don't care I just want out. I hear one of them say "hey hold on, lay back down you'll feel better." He keeps coming closer, about to push me back on the bed, but I really don't want their hands on me, so I grab his arm and twist it behind his back. Then the other guy comes up behind me trying to calm me down, but all I really want is for them to leave me alone, I just need to get away from them. I end up untwisting the guys arm, turn him around so he's facing my back and flip him toward the other guy. I'm about to bolt out of there when I see something glint in the light. The thing looks like its tied to one of their waists, the only reason I'm considering taking it is 'cause they're unconscious, not like they're gonna put up a fight. As I take it out of their possession I notice it's a knife, a rather big knife, so I keep it, not that I'm planning on killing anyone, just…. for self-defense, yeah self-defense.

All I can think about as I run out of there is how the HELL do I leave! But as I look around all hope of leaving is dashed. I see four walls all around the field trapping not only me but everyone else here. Fine, if I have to stay, at least I get a choice of who comes near me, and I'm thinking since I'm the only girl they're all going to come after me eventually. I have to think of a strategy, a war strategy something to give me the upper hand 'cause obviously I'm outnumbered. I do the only thing I can think of, I start gathering rocks and dirt and seek higher ground.

Once I start climbing this tower thing I notice I should have been faster, I mean being the only girl I stick out like a sore thumb, should have expected them to notice me walking around. They surround the tower and I start to panic. I just want to be left alone, at least for a bit, just a little while. Tears start streaming down my face as I breathe like I can't find air. They're coming closer, I know I have to act so I gulp down the tears and start throwing everything I've got; "LEAVE ME ALONE!" escapes my lips multiple times. I almost start to laugh as I watch every boy in the field come close to the tower only to take cover a few seconds later.

After about ten or fifteen minutes I hear multiple people says variations of "Come on Kitty, get out of the tree" or "Is the little Cat stuck?", some even start to laugh at me so I start throwing things even harder. I contemplate aiming for their heads when I hear someone say,

"I don't think she likes us very much."

I swear flames form behind my eyes as I say "NO SHIT I DON'T LIKE YOU, LEAVE ME ALONE!"

The same guy even has the nerve to answer me "Come on love, let me up and I'll explain everything."

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING LOVE!"

I almost start to laugh again as hear snickering down below. I kind of regret answering him that way since I do want some answers, but at the same time who was he to call me love, and why does everyone call me Kitty.

"SLIM IT SLINTHEADS! Uhh…Fine, Kitty then, if you let me come up there I promise to explain everything I know, then if you really want I'll leave you alone. How 'bout that?"

After I hear that I stop throwing things, contemplating my answer. The only reason I came up here was to get away from everyone, but I wanted answers more, so I give in.

"Fine, but ONLY you, no one else, I MEAN IT!"

I still don't trust them, so I take out that damned knife, if anyone else comes up or he gets too close I swear I'mma cut a bitch. I sit in a corner of the tower I'm in with the knife out pointing to where he will eventually enter from. When I see him I had to smirk at his surprised reaction, I just love having the upper hand.

The boy has blonde hair, and a square jaw, but the first thing that strikes me is definitely his height. He approaches me with both his hands up saying, "Woah, Woah, I thought you would be worried that I might hurt you, but maybe I should be worried"

I don't know what else to do, I'm scared out of my wits in a place I don't know so I just keep silent and glare at him the entire time.

"So you're mute now? OK, um… my name's Newt. I promise I'm not going to hurt you. If you give me the knife I'll tell you everything, I just don't like feeling like I'm going to be stabbed if I get too close." He gives me a little awkward smile, and I have to say he is kinda cute, especially with that accent, but that's all I'll admit.

He seems harmless enough, I mean, I don't think he'll attack me, so I hesitantly give him the knife.

"OK, now that I know you're not going to bloody kill me, where should I start?"

I couldn't help but giggle when he said bloody, I was trying so hard to be intimidating with my knife and everything, then there I go ruining it with a damned giggle, I try to stifle it, but I just can't.

After hearing me giggle he gave me a genuine smile, and just kept looking at me, I bet expecting me to say something. I really don't want to say anything, but my intimidating demeanor was just flushed down the toilet so what could saying something hurt?

"You're names Newt, like the lizard?" I shake my head before continuing on with my rampage of questions, "Where am I? How did I get here? Who's the leader? Are you the leader? No, course you're not the leader. Why is this field surrounded by walls? And WHY THE HELL DOES EVERYONE CALL ME KITTY?!"

"Bloody hell, now I know why Alby tells all the greenies no questions till after the tour."

"I'm not coming down so you can forget about a damned tour. Who's Alby and why do you all use these weird words?"

"What weird words?"

"You know the words that sound like you guys just made them up. What's a greenie and what does slim it mean?"

"Its glader slang, you get used to it once you've lived here long enough,"

"Wait, how long is long enough? I want to go home!" Wait, now that I think about it, where is home? Crap the tears are coming again.

"Awww, Bloody hell, please don't cry. This is why Alby handles the greenies,"

He's about to come over to, I think comfort me, but I really don't want to be touched right now so I glare at him, which doesn't do much considering my tear stricken face. In an effort to avert his attention I ask "So where is this mysterious and elusive Alby?"

He laughs a bit before answering "Alby, he's the leader you're looking for, he actually would be the one up here with you right now if it weren't for a clump of dirt to the head, I have to say, you've got good aim."

I can't help but laugh out loud, I didn't think I actually hit one of them. Just as I'm about to say something, someone from below the tower starts shouting

"NEWT WHAT'D YOU DO TO KITTY SHE SEEMS A LOT HAPPIER NOW, I COULD HEAR THAT LAUGH ACROSS THE GLADE! DID YOU CALL HER LOVE AGAIN? I BET THAT MADE HER REAL HAPPY!"

My entire face turns red, either from fury or embarrassment I'm not sure, maybe both. I'm about to scream at whoever that was when Newt beats me to it.

"SLIM IT MINHO! WOULD YOU JUST GET US SOME FOOD I'M SURE YOUR PRECIOUS KAT IS HUNGRY!"

"FINE SHUCKFACE, I'LL BE BACK, TELL KAT I SAID HI!"

"YOU'RE SO LOUD SHE CAN HEAR YOU!"

"NEWT LOVES YOU KAT!"

Ok now I know my face is red from embarrassment, whoever this Minho guy is I want to strangle him. I'm definitely not giving him the satisfaction of responding. I take a few minutes to calm down 'cause right now I really want to scream at the top of my lungs. Besides Minho the thing that aggravates me the most is why everyone calls me Kitty. Before I start to hyperventilate again over the fact that I can't seem to remember my own name (is Kitty my name?) I ask Newt, he must know, he called me Kitty too. I feel the tears coming again, but I ask anyway.

"Newt, why does everyone call me Kitty?"

"I'll answer this last question, then I'm using Alby's policy, no questions until after the tour got it?"

"No, I told you I'm not coming down, not until I want to."

"Fine, when you're ready. For now I guess I can tell you about Kitty," He take a few steps back as he speaks, maybe he thinks I'll get mad, we'll see.

"Well, it's not really a story, more of a simple idea. You see, you fainted in the box and you were whimpering while you were in a coma. Since you're the first girl ever, everyone in the glade wanted a glimpse of you, to see what you looked like. We didn't know your name so eventually we all started calling you Kitty, because the entire glade felt like we picked up a stray cat...See no big deal."

After saying that he looked anywhere but my face, he knew that was going to make me mad. I couldn't contain my anger anymore I had to shout at the top of my lungs so everyone in this damned field heard!

"I AM NOT SOME DAMN FUCKING PET!"

A/N: I just thought that scene from the movie was so funny I had to put it in. I'm thinking of borrowing a few quotes from the book as well, maybe. And I know I made the OC kind of, ok a lot, aggressive, but I wanted her to be the feisty type, she'll eventually have her sweet moments. She's like a sour patch kid, first they're sour, then they're sweet.

Review Please ;)
