chapter thirteen:
Remember

"I declared war and won!" Elizabeth yelled after killing the last chicken that Winston let her murder. She wiped the blood off her hands and onto Winston. "I should've been a Slicer."

"Does that mean that you want to help me kill this pig?" Winston asked, pointing at the pink pig. Elizabeth's eyes widen at the fact that the pig was going to die.

"Don't kill her! She has so much to leave for! We have enough dead chickens!" Elizabeth pleaded. Winston simply chucked causing the blond girl to glare at him. "You are one cruel shank to these animals. Except for the chickens."

"You just killed four chickens while singing a creepy song, you klunk head." The Glader kept quiet while she thought over Winston's words.

"Touché." After saying that one word, Elizabeth left the Blood house and headed to her room to get clothes so she could wash off the blood. Murdering chickens is dirty work at the ready.

"Killed another innocent chicken, Beth?" Asked Minho when he noticed the blood on Elizabeth. She looked at Minho who was in his normal article of clothes. Except he wasn't in the Maze.

"Yes. Skipping another day in the Maze?" Elizabeth asked, her heart was beating at an alarmingly fast rate that she swears that it could run through the Maze two times before the doors closed.

"Luke wanted to run the Maze today since there was an argument between himself and Ash," Minho explained causing Elizabeth to furrowed her eyebrows.

"I guess it happened after I talked with Ash because he didn't seem bothered at all." Elizabeth thought.

"Trouble in paradise?" Elizabeth questioned before she remembered what she was going to do. "Oí, can you guard the bathrooms for me while I shower?"

***

Her eyes were sealed shut while she left the water hit her body. She didn't take showers often, maybe 2 to 3 times a week so she can do more things in the Glade. Elizabeth turned off the water and quickly dried herself off before she changed into her clothes. Before she dared even leave the bathroom, she had a blackout.

"A week before I enter what they call the Glade. I will send you a note hidden in between your stuff. One word will be on a piece of paper and you have to promise me, Liz. That you will try to remember." Thomas looked deeply into Elizabeth's eyes. She took a breath and wondered how will she even try to remember if W.I.C.K.E.D. was going to take away her memory. All for the Variables that will save the planet from something horrible.

"I'll try Thomas. But it'll be hard when I go through the Swipe. Memories will be gone."  Elizabeth admitted, already knowing that Thomas knew. Suddenly people in white coats which were their co-workers entered the room. She weakly smiled at Thomas knowing he will be there when her memories will be extracted. "Bye Thomas."

Elizabeth's vision started to clear to show she was still in the bathroom. She shook her head, already knowing she had another blackout. It's been happening ever since she entered the Glade and it has been bothering her. Sometimes she wouldn't remember anything or would only have a word or two in her head. In this case, it was remember.

"Are you done, Beth?" Minho asked from outside, bring Elizabeth back to reality.

"Uh, yeah. Just had to tie my shoes." Elizabeth replied before she exited the bathroom to see two Gladers. Once those two noticed her, they quickly made a dash into the bathroom. She chuckled before she left the area with Minho. They seemed to be headed towards the Box.

"So what do you do other than murder chickens?" Minho asked the blond girl.

"If I'm not helping Clint or Jeff then I'm in the Kitchens with Frypan. If I'm not needed in either than I'm most likely with Chuck or with Winston helping with the chickens. Sometimes I'm under a tree drawing something." Elizabeth listed off. The two stopped to see Newt and Alby opening the Box and taking out some of the new supplies.

"This is for you, Elizabeth," Alby informed the girl, throwing her the duffle bag with clothes and female products. "You know the drill."

"Aye aye captain," Elizabeth replied, turning on her heels to head towards her room. Minho chasing after her, wondering what the drill was.

"What's the drill?" Minho asked.

"I have to put all of my clothes in the first bag I received along with some other things," Elizabeth explained, she started to open some of the pockets. She checked them and saw that they were only clothing until she felt something different. Like crumpled paper.

"I guess I'll see you after that." Minho simply said while his cheeks burned red. They separated ways until Elizabeth was in her room alone. She immediately dropped to the floor and opened the bag wider. Her hands pushed some of the pieces of clothing to the side along with some hair ties until she spotted the crumpled paper. She immediately grabbed it and uncrumpled it to see one word in bold written on the paper.

Remember.

In other news, I have mentioned in a previous chapter that Newt was Elizabeth's brother and Minho was her best friend. And that Elizabeth said I love you. I don't know when I'll get to say this in the actual story but Thomas and Elizabeth had a thing going on. :-P couldn't help myself. I'm not sorry. But aye, Thomas is coming in soon and will ruin the whole thing! JK jk I love Thomas.

So long, sorry. (Not)

Ba-bam *hides* Don't kill me.

(I finished reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in a day but can't finish The Death Cure. Smh. Plus my friend is borrowing my copy. But I'll finish reading that soon. Probably before The Fever Code.
