After some time Minho and you went back to the others. It was hard leaving Peony behind with all the other animals without burying her. You didn't even want to leave her side, but Minho carefully led you out of the ruins of the Blood House and just like he promised, he left after you, so you wouldn't leave Peony 'alone'. After that none of you said a word as you walked back to the council hall. Minho just walked close by your side and just hearing his breath was comforting. Knowing that he was alive and well, felt like a gentle hug.

Both of you came closer to the council hall and after some time you were able to discern figures through the smoke which were standing in front of the council hall. As you came closer you recognized that one of them laid on the ground while another one was restrained by the others, visibly trying to break free. "Is that..." you started, "Thomas?" Minho finished. You exchanged looks with him and both of you fastened your pace.

While you came even closer to the council hall you were able to see that it was indeed Thomas lying on the ground and Gally restrained by Newt, Hank, Frypan, Winston and Jeff

While you came even closer to the council hall you were able to see that it was indeed Thomas lying on the ground and Gally restrained by Newt, Hank, Frypan, Winston and Jeff.

"What's going on?" Minho asked as the two of you arrived. You asked yourself the same thing. Thomas laid on the ground, his left cheek was red and swollen - Teresa already kneeled beside him. Gally looked like a whole different person, you couldn't recognize him behind his veil of anger. You were pretty sure that he would kill Thomas if he wasn't restrained. Suddenly Gally was able to free one of his hands and pointed at Tommy "It is all his fault!" he screamed in such anger that it sended a shiver down your spine. Newt immediately grabbed his arm shortly after to restrain it again.

You looked at Thomas who suddenly looked like he was lost deep in his thoughts. "Say something!" Gally screamed at Thomas, who now slowly stood up and while he did so, he didn't break eye contact with Gally. All eyes were now on Tommy as he walked over to Chuck as if he was in a trance. He took something from Chucks hands, you haven't seen it before, but it looked like the stinger of a griever. Chuck must have been able to grab it when the griever attacked him. "What are you doing Thomas?" Teresa asked as she now also stood up.

He turned around to look at Teresa with a blank expression "Maybe he's right" Thomas said, it was nearly a whisper, but somehow the words filled the Glade like the smoke of the burning buildings. "What are you doing Thomas?" you asked, your voice slightly trembling, scared to hear the answer. The boy now turned to you and looked you straight into your eyes, all you could see was determination and exhaustion "I need to remember, Y/n. I owe answers to all of you" he explained and you shook your head no "Maybe there's another way" but he denied by slowly raising the stinger in his hand.

Time seemed to pass in slow motion as he raised the remaining part of a griever. As he did so everybody started to scream his name, telling him to stop. Newt even forgot to restrain Gally and took a few steps forward. But it was useless as Thomas stabbed himself in his leg with the device. You weren't able to breathe in, all air was sugged out of your lungs while Thomas fell to the ground. Luckily Teresa was able to catch his head before it hit the floor. Everybody looked at his unconscious body in shock, unable to process that he had actually stabbed himself.
