The Maze Runner Imagines: Newt (Thomas Brodie Sangster) Book 1

Stage Boy AU

I sighed holding the rope they told me to,

"NEWT! TIE HER OFF!" Alby yelled to me so I tied it off as tight as I could as we hung the repaired chandelier as soon as it was hung I took in a breath looking at that mess of gold flowers and lights with the little seat on it, sometimes the Opera singer sits on it and swings like a bird I it was still swinging a little where we had hung it up and it frightened me. I looked out to the hundred of empty seats the lights all illuminated I wanted to be on stage all my life...

"Come on newt scrapper there starting rehursles any minuet" Thomas told me grabbing my arm and tugging me off the stage and up into the banisters to deal with the lights and weights just as we got sorted in our spot the rehursles began with miss Pagie and Mr janson doing there parts I yawned having been up all bloody night listening to the nice music Mr janson began his solo when suddenly

The background dropped!

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" The dancers screamed running away from it we both rushed down to help "ITS THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!" they scream

"who DID THAT!" He screamed

"We don't know sir! we where up there, we saw nothing!" Thomas said

"Then It must have been one of you two!" he yelled

"we swear sir we didn't do it!" I tell him

"Janson, it was simply an accident it happens in the theater" Miss pagie told him

"I've had it! we are out of here!" He yelled rushing off

"great now who will do it!" the director complains

"newt can!" Thomas yelled grabbing my arm and holding it up

"what! no!" I yell

"Newt can do it!" Thomas laughed

"The stage hand boy?" The director asks "Come along then boy" he offers I tenderly stepped out onto the stage properly "Go on then boy" he nods

I tried my voice faltering and failing under the pressure

I heard the little squeak looking up seeing the little perch on the chandelier lightly swinging so I tried harder getting my nerves to fall back they all seemed impressed they said I would be doing it tonight if janson didn't come back.

Timeskip:

KNOCK KNOCK!

"Come in!" I yell expecting it to be thomas as I got sorted out

"There's my idiot of a brother!" I heard Sonya laugh

"Sonya?! what are you doing here?" I ask her

"Thomas told me, I had to come down and see you" she laughs

"I've missed you" I tell her

"I've missed you too" she smiles hugging me tightly "but come on tell me! where did you learn to do that?" she asks

"it's complicated" I answer

"How so?" she asks

"it's.... like a dream, this voice like an angel. she sings to me... I guess I just picked it up" I explain

"Well... anyway come on get finished up I'll take you out for a drink tonight" she smiles before running off the room quiet...

The candles blew out and I froze a icy shiver down my spine in the darkness

"Slanting girl! a slave of fashion" her voice echoed

"get out! get out!" I mutter quietly

"trying to take you from your home... you belong here with me. You have more to learn" her voice echoed

"Please my lady... leave me for one night please" I beg her but next I knew I was being dragged down the catacombs again down to the dark candle lit lair below the opera house
