Thomas x reader Maze Runner II Scars You Left Behind

Sacrifice

TW: Deaths

You just made it out of the maze with the others, well nearly everyone. Ben is missing and Minho runs back in after him. "Was it only me or were there more Grievers than usual in there?" You ask.

"Definitely more," Winston responds.

"Hey has there ever been a Griever that came into the Glade?"

"Never."

"Well, we might have to start considering that possibility as they are now showing in the daytime."

Minho races out right before the walls close and he is looking down.

"Did you find him? Is he safe?"

"He's dead."

He leads you to the map room, "It was a fucking Griever."

You have a moment of silence before you say, "How do we kill them?"

"I don't think you understand, we can't kill all of them. We need to get out of this place."

"We are so close to solving the maze, but I don't think we have much time. I suggest we get the Gladers to run with us as soon as possible," Thomas says.

******

They let Alby know along with all the Gladers, they tell them that it is their choice to choose. As everyone is discussing the situation, a distant sound echoes from the other side of the walls. The walls start to open, "What the fuck?" You whisper.

Thomas stands behind you and looks in, seeing a Griever he puts his arm out in front of you and shouts, "Everybody hide!"

The creature runs out and everybody runs, looking for somewhere to hide, "Run!" Alby shouts. It attacks a few Gladers while a bunch of us hide in one of the huts. It finds us and tries to break in when Minho gets an idea, he runs out. Whistling to get it's attention, it chases after him into the maze which is about to close again.

He stops and the Griever speeds towards him, but he ducks and runs out leaving the walls to close right on the Griever. It is squished into two and Minho falls to the ground catching his breath. 

The Gladers go and cheer him on as he flips off the Griever. You can't see Thomas, Newt or Chuck so you turn around and see them on the floor beside a few dead bodies. The Griever killed them. Chuck starts to cry and Teresa takes him elsewhere.

"Everybody listen!" Thomas states, "As from what we have all just witnessed, it has become pretty clear that its not safe here anymore."

"Our only chance is to take you all with us once those walls open, or else you will die in here," Winston adds.

The Gladers all start to talk over each other saying things like,

"I'm not going in there."

"We don't know whats out there."

"Im staying here where I can hide."

The runners know that they can not force them if they feel safer here, so Alby declares,

"If you wish to follow the runners out of here then risk getting killed by a Griever, then approach them."

"We don't even know what's out there! It's too risky!" Teresa says.

"We will all die if we stay in here anyway," you reply.

So far, the only people who have agreed to tag along are Newt, Frypan and Gally.

Including the runners, Thomas, Winston, Minho and you.

You already noticed that the walls were opening and shutting randomly now. The moment you hear them open, you and the others grab torches and get ready to enter. You look back and Teresa, "Are you sure you wont change your mind? We wont come back."

"I already made up my mind," she hugs you, "Don't die."

"I'll try."

You then walk towards Alby, "You are a good leader, I know you will keep them safe."

"I know you will keep those boys safe," he chuckles and pats me on my back. You all wait to see if any Grievers are about to show but none do. 

"Ok, it's clear," Thomas starts to run and you all wave to the other Gladers.

You all spend hours in the maze trying to figure it out and escape, everyone is trying to stay awake and close together.  You wander off, "Y/N come back here, we need to stick together and keep warm," says Thomas.

"I dont want to be near you."

"Just because we are trying to stay warm, doesn't mean you have to like me."

"I dont like you, I hate you!"

He stops talking and turns to look the other way.

You dont think much of it and decide to take a turn where no one has looked yet. You think you find the exit based on a breeze hitting your skin. "Hey guys? Is that the end?"

Newt looks your way and his eyes widen, "I think it is! You found it Y/N, you solved the maze!" They all beam at you and you lead them out when a Griever appears out of the blue.

"Oh shit!" Frypan shreiks. You all start running in circles trying to avoid it, Gally,Newt and Frypan and you make it out but Thomas, Winston, minho are still trapped by it. Thomas pulls them back, "Listen, I will distract it and you guys run."

"No way!" Newt yells. "The walls are closing!"

The walls start to close as the Griever gets closer to them. You and the others are calling out for them to hurry up.

"Yes, way! They won't be able to survive without you two. Just trust me." He claps his hands and gets its attention, while they race past it, out into the open. It runs towards Thomas and he looks over at you, "It's ok."

 You go to run in but Gally pulls you back before the walls shut in front of you.

"No!" You scream, "Thomas! The-the Griever, it got him, he's dead!" You collapse on the ground and sob loudly.

Newt stands beside you frozen unable to move and tears fill his eyes. "He saved us," Minho whispers, "We need to go, we don't know if it's dangerous here." They force you up and Newt grabs your hand, "It's ok, Y/N. We have to keep moving."
