Maze Runner (Thomas x reader)-fem

(3) the changing

(A/N: i updated the chapter above so reread that if you already have. only if you've read it before the 20th of September tho :8). )

Newt and Y/n were still laughing and talking on the logs near the dim lit fire. Thomas had kind of wiggled his way out of the group he was with and walked towards Newt and Y/n.

"Hey, Newbie" Newt said to him as he was a few steps away, "Hey, how you liking it in the glade so far?" Y/n asked him as Thomas sat down, "its cool i guess.. i mean there are a few ass holes here" Thomas mentioned as he look towards Gally who was in the group of boys he just came from. 

"who, Gally?" Y/n asked and Thomas nodded, "He saved your life today." Newt mentioned,    "Trust us. The maze is a place." Y/n continued, "We're trapped here, aren't we?" Thomas asked, "For the moment." Y/n said trying not to sound suspicious while looking at Newt.

Newt tried to change the subject by bringing up Gally again "actually... thinking of Gally, hes terrified of Y/n. she the only one he will listen to. he doesn't take orders from anyone else he more or less tries to give them"

  "its true. One time he was trying to Newt to get sticks for him, from the woods, for... i don't even know why, but he kept telling him to and Newt just looked at me from the other side of the Glade and i immediately knew what Gally was trying to do" Y/n continues "So i just walked over there, put on the angriest face i could and told Gally that i needed him to go out into the maze with Minho and Ben because i had to do something else, He looked terrified of just the thought of going out there. it was hilarious" Y/n finished her story slightly giggling but was cut off by a loud screeching roar in the distance. "What the hell was that?" Thomas said concerned about the noise "That, my friend, was a Griever." Newt said, "Don't worry, you're safe here with us. Nothing gets through walls." Y/n responded.

-TIME SKIP-

the next morning at around 6am Thomas had been awoken by a hand clutching onto his face, covering his mouth so he couldn't make a sound. "Shh." a voice had said and Thomas had calmed down realising it was Y/n "Follow me." she said letting go of him and starting to walk away, she got kind of far and Thomas had to jog to catch up to her.

 just as he slowed down next to her, Y/n started speaking "It's peaceful, isn't it?.. I know it's hard to believe, but it wasn't this way... We had dark days. We lost a lot of boys to fear. To panic. We've come far then. Established order... made peace." she said while looking forward.

Thomas was just kind of looking at her and admiring her features while listening. "Why are you me this?" he questioned, "Because you're not like the others... You're curious. But you're one of us now. you need to know what that means." Y/n had answered him as they approached the Tall wall that had names carved into it and handed Thomas a knife. 

he looked back toward the wall and noticed that some of the names had been crossed out and asked  "What happened to them?",  "Like I said... dark days, Thomas." she said sounding slightly down, remembering all the boys she had made friends with only to loose them.

Thomas had carved his name into the wall and was now with Newt and another glader re-tying the vines to the garden structure. Thomas was thinking up ideas to get out of the maze "Has tried climbing to the top?" he said curiously, "Tried it. The ivy doesn't go all the way to the top." Newt said debunking Thomas's theory "And besides, are you go from there?" he said once again disapproving the theory, "And what about the Box? You know, next time it comes up-" Thomas was cut off by Newt once again invalidating the ideas he was coming up with "No, we tried that. The Box won't go back down with someone in it.", "Okay, what if we-" Thomas tried again but his words were knocked down by a serious Newt "No, we tried it, all right? Twice. All right? trust me. Anything you think of, we've tried. The only way out of here is the maze. Now, look, you wanna  be helpful? Here. Go dig us up some more fertilizer.". 

"Just get the fertilizer, Thomas." Thomas had started mocking Newt on his way to get fertilizer "Are you sure, guys? I can't help in any way?" "No, just get the fertilizer. "You know it is. It's just out in the middle of the woods." he said juts as he saw a grave made of sticks, in the middle it had the name George on it, he turned around from hearing a twig snap behind him.

"Oh! Uh... You're Ben, right?" he asked and didn't get a response "I don't know if we ever-" he cut himself off realising he wouldn't get an answer because he didn't look well "Are you okay?" Thomas has asked concerned just before Ben had started charging at him and pounced onto him trying to choke him.

"Get the hell off me!" Thomas yelled with an attempt of kicking Ben off of him, "It's your fault. I saw you. You did this." Ben had spat back "I saw you!" Thomas had managed to get Ben off of him by hitting him in the head with an animal skull and started sprinting out of the woods and back to the main area of the glade While screaming for help.

"Hey! Hey!" Thomas screamed louder as he started to see the main structure of the glade "Hey! Help!" He screamed once again and had caught everyone's attention. "Help!" He screamed once more before Ben had jumped onto him yelling "I'll kill you!", "Hey!" Y/n had yelled at Ben as she saw what he was doing "Hold him down." she said towards Newt and=d Gally as they lifted Ben off of Thomas.

"What are you doing?" Y/n asked Ben worried and angry at the same time, he didn't answer but instead tried to push Newt and Gally off of him and get up to attack Thomas again, "Calm down, Ben." she told him, then looked to face Thomas and ask him "What the hell happened?".

"He just attacked me!" he half yelled with his still fast beating heart. "Are you okay?" Y/n asked concerned wanting to make sure he was alright. at the same time she was making sure Thomas was okay Newt was still trying to calm Ben down  "Calm down, Ben." he had only calmed down slight and was able to speak more clearly, "No. No." was all he said in an aggressive tone.

Y/n knew what had happend to him but had to make sure it wasn't true. she didn't want it to be true. she didn't want to loose another glader. a friend. "All right, lift his shirt. Lift his shirt." she said not wanting to know if she was correct with hat she was thinking

"No! No! No! No! Please. Please." was all Ben could say. "He's been stung." Y/n had said seeing that he had in fact been stung and her worries had been confirmed. "In the middle of the day?" Newt had asked no one in particular and mainly just bring up the fact that this was an extremely odd time to be stung, "Help me, please. Please. Please, just help." Ben said trying to convince anyone that he could get better, so that he wouldn't have to die.

"Put him in the pit." Y/n said ignoring everything Ben was saying because she knew it would only make it harder later.
