Thomas and Crank!Theresa

"Hey, Tom, can you come and help me with something real quick?" Theresa asks telepathically. Her voice rings through Thomas's head and startles him.
"Uh, yeah, sure. Where are you?" He replies.
"By the map room. Hurry up."
"Okay. Okay. One moment."
Thomas finishes off his meal of potatoes and roasted ham. He tosses the plate away and tells Newt, who is sitting across from him, that he is going. Newt nods and shoves a mouthful of mashed potato into his mouth. Thomas turns away and begins to jog towards the map room.
He arrives and Theresa glares at him.
"Took you long enough!" She snaps.
"Whoa! Easy there. I was only a few minutes." Thomas defends.
"You are always late! I'm sick and tired of you." Theresa snarls.
She steps forward and out of the shadows of the surrounding trees. Her eyes are blood shot and angry. Thick, dark viens bulge beneath her pale, cold skin. She lowers her head and stares at Thomas hungrily.
"Theresa are you okay?" Thomas trembles, nervously.
"No!" Theresa growls.
"I'm going to go then." Thomas quivers.
He begins to cautiously step back. He raises his hands to create some sort of barrier between him and Theresa. She grinds her teeth and glares. She begins to walk forward and Thomas jumps back. He begins to pick up pace as Theresa walks.
"Not yet. You can't!" She barks.
"Yes. Right now is a perfect time." Thomas says shakily.
Theresa screams and launches herself at Thomas. She misses by a couple feet and stumbles. Thomas takes the chance. He whips around and dashes away. Theresa growls and sprints after him, gaining speed with each step. She pounces forward.
Theresa manages to grab his ankle and Thomas smashes to the ground, face first. He flips on to his back and kicks at Theresa. She screeches in fury and tackles him. She punches at his chest and snaps at his face.
"Help! Crank! Help! Help!" Thomas hollers, pushing Theresa back.
She loses balance and falls over. Thomas kicks her side and she doubles over in pain. Theresa howls like an animal. She is no longer human.
Thomas crawls away and gets up. He sprints a few steps before Theresa tackles his legs. He stumbles and yells for help. Finally, the other boys emerge from every direction. They dash to Thomas's aid and pin down Theresa.
Thomas straightens and stares at Theresa. His friend, the only one who understood him, was gone. Replaced by a monster.
"I hate you!" She spits at him.
Tears form in his brown eyes and Thomas looks away. The salty water begins to flow down his cheeks and he sniffles. Theresa screams at him, making him cry more. Spiteful words replace the kind ones and insult him. He walks away, wanting the noise to go away. He can't bear it.
Theresa is gone.

A/N: I know Theresa is immune and all, but I wanted to make one were she isn't. Do you like it?
