Flames // Newt x Reader \\

~Escape~

Our plan was brilliant, considering it was made by Minho. And it was happening right now.

Gally was busy crossing names off the wall while three builders went to get Thomas and Teresa. Thomas was pretending to be passed out so that he had the element of surprise.

The two builders dropped my brother.

"Hey!" Me and Minho said in unison.

"Careful with him slintheads!" Minho shouted.

"This is such a waste." Gally said.

"Gally!" Winston said. "It doesn't feel right man."

"Yeah, what if Thomas is right? What if he can lead us home?" Jeff added.

"We are home." Gally replied. "Okay? I don't wanna have to cross any more names off that wall."

"You really think banishing is is going to solve anything?" Teresa challenged.

"No." He gave his infamous smirk and eyebrow raise. "And this isn't a banishing," he put his pocket knife back into his pocket. "It's an offering."

"What?! Wait- Gally! What are you doing!?"

"You really think I'm going to let Thomas back into the maze after what he's done!?" Gally shouted at Teresa. Go Gally, go Gally go, go Gally, go Gally go! "Look around you! Look at our glade! This is the only way."

Me and Newt looked aver at Minho who gave us a small nod and we looked over at Chuck who had loads of spears and weapons and gear.

"And when the grievers get what they came here for, everything goes back to the way it was."

"Are you listening to this? Why are you all just standing there he's crazy!" Teresa butts in, trying to save her ass.

"Would you shut up?" Gally points at her.

"If you stay here the grievers are going to come back. And they're gonna keep coming back until you're all dead!"

"Shut up!" Gally shouted.

"For once I agree with you on that one buddy." I told him.

He just looked at me then back at the two posts. "Tie him up." The two guys looked at each other. "Did you hear me? I said tie him up!"

The two boys who carried him over picked him up by the shoulders. Before they even got him a foot off the ground he'd elbowed one of them in the stomach, grabbed his spear and hit the other guy over the head with it.

Everyone took this as their queue and started to attack. Newt took his machete and hit someone on the back with the base of it.

I kicked someone's knees in and pushed them to the floor, holding my machete in front of them so they wouldn't get up.

Teresa kicked the guy who had brought her over in the nuts.

E kicked someone in the stomach. I'd told E about our plan and she was all-in for it. I think Gally likes E cause he didn't blame it on her. That's rare.

Gally went to get Thomas but Minho put the flat side of his machete (wow everyone has machetes) on Gally's shoulder to stop him from walking any further forward.

Thomas pointed his spear at Gally and Fry cut Teresa free. Minho walked around Gally, still with his knife pointed at his face.

Fry handed Teresa an extra knife. Everyone who started the attack lined up by the doors and stared at the glade and the people still in it.

"You're full of surprises aren't ya?" Gally sighed.

"You don't have to come with us but we are leaving." Thomas said, still with his spear up in the air. "Anyone else who wants to come with us, now is your last chance."

"Don't listen to him he's just trying to scare you." Gally argued, looking around at everyone behind him.

"No I'm not trying to scare you. You're already scared. Alright I'm scared." Everyone looked at him. "But I'd rather risk my life out there than spend the rest of it in here. We don't belong here." The boys started looking at each other, contemplating weather or not to join us. "Okay this place? Isn't our home. We were put here. We were trapped here. At least out there we have a choice. We can make it out of here."

"We know that." I joined the conversation, stepping forwards. I had my hairspray, and lighter ready for the grievers. I knew that they were extremely flammable. I watched Thomas make them.

Winston walked forwards. Followed by Jeff. Me and E looked at each other and smiled. Our plan was working.

Slowly but surely, more people came over to our side. Gally looked around at his remaining followers.

"Gally, it's over." Thomas said, "just come with us."

"Good luck against the grievers." Before anyone could stop me, I'd ran forwards and given him a hug. We were never extremely close, but we were good friends.

"I'll miss you shank," I whispered. I hadn't really spent time with him recently and I felt a bit guilty.

"I'll miss you too slinthead." He whispered back. We parted and I went back to my group as they started running off.

Newt grabbed my hand and I shot a regretful look back at Gally, the rest of the gladers and then glade.
