The Maze Runner -Flare In Flames- |Newt X Reader|

Y/N's POV
"Excuse me. Would you mind helping me with some supplies in our supply closet?" I question the ugly Wicked Recruiter. He has pale skin, almost as bright as the sun, and reddish orange hair. His smile is crooked and gross... but maybe I think that because of what I saw him do to that nurse. Is this stupid? Of course it is. Y/N this might be your dumbest idea yet. Happy? I watch him awkwardly look down my body giving me a sudden burst of disgust. "Absolutely." He smiles nodding. I think I'm going to be sick. I turn around making my way down the hallway basically throwing up in my mouth. He doesn't say a word, but I can just feel him starring at me from behind. A very unsettling feeling. You Y/N Paige... you are such an idiot. I think back to Minho's words this morning before he went with Shawn and the others. 'Whatever it takes.' I walk past many people, honestly hoping I don't see Aris, Harriet, or Sonya. They would immediately shut this down. I just know that if I want into this city... I have to get him on my side.
       "In here." I say opening the door to one of the random supply closets I can find. I watch him walk inside while I hold the door open. I look down the hallway checking if the coast is clear before shutting the door completely. I take a deep breath facing the door away from the Recruiter. If I've ever had to be good at acting... it's now. I have to make him believe me... believe that I am qualified to get in. And if that doesn't work... there's always a plan B. I turn around seeing him staring at me creepily that sends shivers up my spine. "So where's this supplies you need help with?" The man questions putting his hands together. I look down taking one more deep breath. Show time. I glance up with a small smirk. "You and I both know that's not what I really brought you here for." I whisper basically gagging at myself. Stupid Y/N! You're so stupid. He smiles back at me not saying a word. The crease in his forehead as he raises his eyebrows makes me want to scream for help. "What's this about?" He questions as I watch his eyes look me up and down. I start to walk closer, but I refrain remembering I'm sticking to plan A at the moment. "Look, I saw the recruiting sheet... and I know I wasn't picked to be apart of the city." I admit as he stares at me without speaking one word. "But... I really need into that city." I start walking closer. "I don't belong here. I need to start over, and I feel like this is my only chance to a better life." I try to guilt him. He stands there starring at me. "You know that is against the rules Mrs. Scott." He mentions as my heart stops for a moment. He knows my name? How the hell does he already know who I am? I suddenly look down at the name tag on the left side of my chest reading: Olivia Scott. Relief eases through my body. "But sir." I start. "Don't you know what it feels like to be an outcast?" I question as he shakes his head. Come on Y/N... you have to get into that city. Whatever it takes. "My husband..." I start without a clue as to where I'm going with that. I see his attention fully focused on me now, as if I finally have something worthy to say. "He died of the Flare a few weeks ago." I lie trying my hardest to form fake tears in my eyes. The ugly recruiter shows signs of sympathy. I've almost got him. "I have nothing left here for me." I cross my arms around my body, trying to make the story believable. He doesn't say anything. I'm so close. Suddenly, I wipe my tears away taking a deep breath in. "I'm sorry. I look so weak right now." I say drying the fake tears. "No no." The recruiter denies as I cover my face with my palms. I slightly smirk underneath my hands. I got em. I look back up with a sad face. "I look pathetic." I mention as the man walks up to me. I feel my heart jump a couple pulses faster, my palms getting sweaty. "I understand." he comfortingly puts a hand on my shoulder. My stomach sinks. Is he actually being kind? I had no idea any Wicked members actually had a heart. "I can get you into that city." His eyes look down at me with empathy. My face lights up with joy and bits of relief. "On one condition." He states as my burst of excitement calms down. I tilt my head slightly in confusion as he brushes his finger on my neck. My heart starts to race as his finger moves underneath my shirt to my shoulder, slowly sliding my bra strap down my arm. My eyes widen, and I quickly grab his wrist with my hand. What was I thinking?! He wasn't being nice! He just wants to use me. He looks at me as fear covers my expression. "You give me what I want, and I'll get you into that city." He compromises as my stomach twists and turns inside of me. I still continue to keep a tight grip on his wrist. Hell no! Hell no! This is not happening! Y/N shut this down immediately. I look at his ugly crooked smile, making me want to spit in his face. This was my plan B though. If he didn't recruit me because he felt sorry for me, I was going to bribe him with my body. I take a deep breath probably about to cry and scream and curse at myself for this. "If I... if we... do this, how will I know you will recruit me? That you're not just going screw me over?" I question letting his wrist go. He pulls his hand towards him rubbing the red mark I made from my grip on his wrist. "Would that be a risk you're willing to take?" He smirks as I know this is the wrong choice. He won't recruit me. He'll just get what he really wants and recruit the people he was planning on recruiting. I have to be confident. I have to make him think I am on board. "How about this." I start while slowly walking towards him. "You get me into that city... then and only then... I will uphold the end of our deal. You don't recruit me, then the deal is off." I stop as he shakes his head. "Absolutely not. Then you might just completely blow me off." He answers. "Would that be a risk you're willing to take? Think about it. All these other nurses in this Hospital want nothing to do with you... no matter how much you try. I am actually giving you this offer..." I hesitate at first before pulling my shirt over my head revealing a part of my body I've never revealed to anyone else. The cold air touches my skin as the sick recruiter stares at my chest with my bra still on. "Take it or leave it." I offer cursing at myself in my mind. I seem confident. I act like I'm fine, in reality I am on the verge of crying. He starts to walk towards me. "Not yet." I stop him putting my shirt back on. "Not until you get me into that city."
I watch as the people down the hallway stare while I walk in their direction. I am filled with guilt and disgust in myself. All I can think about is what Newt would say. What Thomas, Minho, and Aris would do if they found out I bribed the Wicked Recruiter with my body. All I can think about is Newt. Him feeling disappointment and sadness with what I have done. Then I remember... he's gone.
The rest of the day is a blur. I can't stop thinking about what I have done. How wrong it was, and how desperate I am to get into the city. What have I done? This will just cause more problems, and that's if I get in. That's if what I did... what I said was enough to convince that hideous shank to recruit me. I don't even know what to do. I don't even know what I can do now. Just hope... that what I did wasn't for nothing. That what I did will benefit me. That what I did will get me into that god damn city.
Hours have past, and we're all back at Amanda's penthouse. I know Thomas and Minho can tell something is up. Results from Recruiting Day will be live in a few minutes... at least that's what Amanda said. Shawn and Amy have joined us as we all are gathered in the living room waiting for the news broadcaster to release results. At this point, I have no ounce of confidence in me. The ugly recruiter didn't take my offer... not like I would actually hold my end of the deal. What are the odds I actually see him if I get into the city? That place is supposedly massive. Was this even worth it? Even if we do get into the city, would we be able to get the supplies we need? An even better question... if we do get the supplies, will we even be able to get out of that city? So many questions. So many variables that we do not know. Yet we're doing it anyway. We're trusting these people we just met.
       "Getting anxious yet?" Gally walks over to me with a glass of water in his hand. He passes the water over to me as if he can read my mind. All of them can tell I'm different. All of them know something is up. Or maybe they just believe it's nurves like Gally believes. I take the glass of water slowly from him. "I'm always anxious Gally." I reply to his question. I watch as little Violet waddles into the room with Emily. They're around the same age, and I can already tell they're inseparable. Emily already looks to be feeling better. The blackened veins are gone, signs of life thrive through her, and she has a huge smile on her face. If in the end we can't save everyone... at least I saved her. "You know Y/N. We could leave Violet here while we go to the city. The people who get recruited are inside the walls, while the others are camped outside. It's not safe for her out there and you know it." Gally mentions as I turn towards his freckled face. He really cares about her. My heart feels warm from his compassion... his determination to keep her safe. "It's not safe for anyone of them out there." I correct him, hating the whole idea of a base camp outside the main Wicked city. "You know what I mean. They can take care of themselves... she can't" He explains, and he's right. I watch her play with some of Emily's dolls with imagination filled in her eyes. "I know it will be safer here for her." I admit. "I just don't want to leave her here. I just have this weight like she's my responsibility, and if anything happens to her..." I stop myself to prevent tears from coming up. "Which is why it's best if she just stays here." Gally finishes as the news broadcast pops on with the same woman before. "Good Mornin' folks. Nancy Jones back with another daily weather forecast as well as top news. Starting off, as you all know, Recruiting Day today was the best we've seen in the past 2 years. Each year, we have more and more participants going for the Doctor, Guard, and Farming positions." Nancy starts as we all look at Amanda. Farming positions. "Must be a new Recruiting spot... because I definitely had no idea about it." Amanda admits as we all just shrug. "Representing out city for the two Farming positions are none other than..." Nancy pauses as she opens a small white envelope. "Carson Finley and Taylor Hill! Congratulations to you both! Please stay to the end of our announced recruits to hear further instructions on entering the city." Nancy suggests setting down the paper. "Next we have our five trainee guards who have put in so much work and effort to get this position. The Guard position is the most challenging, and most competitive seeing as over 200 of our men went for these positions. And the recruits are..." She starts to open the red envelope slowly. 200 people?! Oh please let them get in... please. "Austin Williams." She reads off as Thomas jumps up. "That's me! That's my fake name!" He excitedly yells as Minho pats him on the back. A huge smile grows on Amanda's face. "Ryder Wilson." Nancy adds as Minho jumps up too. "Hell yeah! That's me" He nods and flexes playfully. I giggle a little as relief flows through me. At least they made it in. "Gally Adams." She announces as Gally shouts next to me. "Thankfully the mission isn't left up to these two shanks." I laugh as the three of them give each other a hug. "Blake Anderson." She states as no one in the room shouts. "And last but not least... Emmanuel Martinez." Nancy finishes as the boys stare at the screen in shock. "What?" I question them as they look at each other, then back at the screen. "He only speaks Spanish." Thomas mentions. "That's what one of the teachers told us." Gally adds. "He cannot understand English." Minho butts in. Then I realize something. "Fry..." I say walking up to him. "No Y/N... its okay! Ill be better help outside of the wall." Frypan smiles through the disappointment. Thomas, Minho, and Gally gather him in a hug. "And what you've all been waiting for. The three doctor recruits. These people are very important for the survival of mankind. Our future are in these people's hands." She states as someone passes her the light blue envelope. She starts to tear at the opening slowly... as if she knows its what I've been waiting to hear the moment I woke up this morning. My patience starts to deteriorate as she pulls the white paper out of the envelope. "And the recruits are..." She starts. I can hear my heartbeat through my chest. My hands sweaty, my breathing quick and quiet. Please.... please... come on. "Aris Jones." She announces as Aris stands up in shock. Everyone crows him, but I'm too focused on the other two people to congratulate him at this moment. "Abby Vincent." She states as my body starts to shake. "And... without a surprise, Olivia Scott. The same girl who saved Ryan Davis yesterday morning." She announces as my shoulders fall in disappointment. Then it hits me. "That's me." I say standing up in realization. "That's my fake name! Olivia Scott!" I yell all the others group in to hug me. We all congratulate each other as Minho hugs me. "I knew you could do it." Wellllllllllll... As I think... I remember the ugly recruiter, and what he will be expecting when I go to that city. They don't need to know that tiny detail. I hug Aris and Thomas. Gally too. Little Violet runs up to me as I pick her up, swinging her around. "I don't know why you're all so happy, but I'm happy too." Violet says as we all laugh. I turn back to the screen as the announcement comes up. "If you were recruited to be new members of the Wicked City, please pack your belongings tonight. Dress in appropriate attire for the trip tomorrow. The bus leaves at 8 am. Any later, you will be left behind." I look over at Thomas, Minho, Gally, and Aris. This is what we got. The five of us into that city to finally finish this once in for all. To finally create a cure... and tear down Wicked once and for all.
