As Thomas awoke, he looked into Teresa's blue eyes. "Hey." she smiled, looking down at him. "Are you okay?" He didn't answer, still too disoriented to realize what was happening.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Chuck asked, causing Thomas to sit up and look around him. "Chuck." you scolded, slightly glaring at him for the way he spoke.
"What happened?" Thomas asked, looking between Chuck, Minho, Newt and you. His eyes softened once he spotted your still slightly red eyes.
"Gally's taken control. He said we had a choice. Either join him or get banished at sundown with you." Newt explained. You took his hand in yours as support.
Thomas slightly rolled his eyes at the new piece of information. "And the others agreed to that?" He sat up fully, facing everyone. "Gally has everyone convinced that you're the reason all this has happened." Teresa spoke.
"Well, he's been right so far." Thomas admitted, making you frown. "What are you talking about?" you asked, looking at your brother.
"This place. It's not what we thought it was. It's not a prison, it's a test. It all started when we were kids. They'd give us these challenges. They were experimenting on us. And then, people started disappearing. Every month, one after the other, like clockwork." Thomas explained.
"Sending them up into the maze?" Newt caught on, your eyes widening in realization. "Yeah, but not all of us." your brother spoke. "What do you mean?" you frowned.
"Guys, I'm one of them. The people who put you here. I worked with them. I watched you guys for years. The entire time you've been here, I was on the other side of it." Thomas explained before looking at Teresa. "And so were you."
"What?" the brunette girl asked, shocked. "Teresa, we did this to them." Thomas whispered. A tear rolled down Teresa's cheek. "No, that can't be true."
"It is. I saw it." Thomas continued, now looking at you. Your eyes softened upon seeing the regret lingering in his eyes. "Why would they send us up here if we were with them?" Teresa asked. "It doesn't matter."
"He's right. It doesn't matter. Any of it. Because the people we were before the maze, they don't even exist anymore. These creators took care of that. But what does matter is who we are now and what we do right now. You went into the maze, and you found a way out."
"Yeah, but if I hadn't, maybe Alby would still be alive." Thomas interjected, looking at your boyfriend. "Maybe. But I know if he were here, he would be telling you the exact same thing. Pick your ass up and finish what you started. Because if we do nothing, then that means Alby died for nothing, and I can't have that." Newt argued.
You had heard those kind of speeches from him countless times, but every time you were always amazed by how well he was at being a leader.
"Okay. But we gotta get through Gally first." Thomas spoke, looking between you and Newt. You smirked at him. "Leave the plan up to me."
