Power In The Glade | The Maze Runner x Reader |

| 5 | I can do what?!

A knock was heard, off the bat you knew it was Newt. "go away... Please... " you didn't want to be rude him, especially since he's been the nicest one to you.

"Y/n let me in please... I want to see you... " after debating for a while, you got up and unlocked the door. You wrapped your arms around newts neck and hugged him tightly. Tears were threatening to fall from your eyes.

You finally let the tears out as Newt began whispering in your ear. "It's okay... I'm right here... Your safe... Let put you on your bed okay? " you unwrapped your arms from him as he lead you towards the bed so you could rest. "Why don't you get some sleep love..." You nodded. Newt smiled as he tucked you in and gave you a kiss on the forehead.

"Goodnight, love. " Newt whispered. "Goodnight, Newt... " you whispered back. Newt left the room to let you rest but you couldn't help but feel butterflies in your stomach... The way Newt cared and loved for you was enough to make you fall for him. Maybe you liked him? I mean who wouldn't... He's stood up for you multiple times and is really understanding.

Eventually your eyes closed and you drifted of to sleep.

The next morning was a little scary for you. You were still a little shooken up by the whole incident. You stood in front of the walls getting prepared for the run.

"Hey y/n, you ready to go?" You ignored Minho since you were still kind of scared to talk to him. You entered the maze and started jogging, Minho was following closely behind you. "Y/n wait up! " you kept going but eventually Minho caught up to you. He stopped in front of you making you look at him.

"Hey, what's going on? " you ignored him once again and walked around him to continue running. Without turning around Minho began talking. "Cmon at least tell me what's wro-" Minho turned around to look at you, but you were gone. Minho looked around the area but you were nowhere to be found.

"Y/n!! Y/n!!! Shit Newts gonna kill me for losing her!! " Minho put his hands on his head, freaking out.

Minho looked around more and eventually found Thomas. Thomas went before you both because he says and I quote 'works better alone'. "Thomas!! I'm so happy to see you!!" Minho said happy that he wasn't alone now. "What-why? " Thomas looked around Minho. "Where's y/n?..."

"Well... Uh... I sorta... Well I mean... Technically... She stormed off. " Minho gave a small frown.

Thomas gave a look of disapproval. "Are you serious?! Newts gonna kill us!!... I'm sorry not us... I mean YOU!! " "Thomas, shut up dude the grievers might find us..." And at that time that's when the both of them remembered grievers were on the lose and you were out there alone... They hoped you wouldn't run into one.

"Well shit now we really need to find her." Thomas crossed his arms.

You kept running and running. It felt like you were about to collapse... And just your luck what happens? You run into a fucking griever. "Oh cmon!! I'm tired bro!!let me just get on my merry way!!" You tried teleporting but you couldn't. You expected the griever to sting you by now but no it sat there like a puppy waiting for its owner."you know what... Just do it... I don't even care anymore... Do it. " you opened your arms and closed your eyes waiting for the sting but... "Ew... No I don't wanna kill you. " you opened your eyes. "Why don't you wanna kil- what the fuck did you just talk?!"

"Yup." Your eyes widened. "What? That's not possible... " "y/n you literally have powers... And your talking to an animal.. I think it's possible... " you look at the floor feeling a bit stupid, because the griever did have a fair point.

"Wait- why are you talking to me?" "Because I want to help you. " the grievers response as quick. "Help me how?... " "to defeat wicked. " you were confused. "Why? Don't you work for wicked?... " "not really... Look I want to help you because there's a lot of things you don't know about yourself but I do. " you raised your brow. "I know myself like the back of my hand... What are you talking about?... "

"No you don't." You scoffed a bit. "How do you know that?" "You didn't know you ould talk to animals and here you are... Looking like a dumbass. " "you can't say that when you look like a fucking centipede!! " your voice echoed throughout the maze. "You remember your friend from wicked? Sarai?" You rolled your eyes at the thought of her.

"The one who left me for wicked... Yeah I remember her. " "She made us... She made us know everything about you. " you let out a laugh. "And how does she she know everything about me?" "When she left for wicked she started researching you... And quite frankly she probably knows more about you than you do yourself."

"So, is this sarai's way on trying to help me?... " "yes, it is. But I have to tell you that... When she was researching you... She found something out about you... Which is why your here. " "what's that?... " you looked at the griever waiting for it to respond. "It's that... Your more powerful than you think you are." "What do you mean... " "you were put here for a reason...your here to set these people free from the maze. "

"Why would wicked put me here to set these people free... Don't they want to keep them here for research or something? " "oh my gosh!! Wicked didn't put you here!!! Sarai did!!! " you jumped back a bit. "How do I even do that?!" "Did you not hear a thing I said?! I said your very powerful!! You can find a way... " "you keep saying powerful!! But I don't know what your talking about!!! " 

"Y/n...you have powers that have not yet been discovered. " you eyes widened at the grievers statement. "You don't just have 3 or 4 powers... You have hundreds of powers... Maybe more. " "how come I didn't know?... "

"You were too focused on the powers you do know that you didn't bother learning more... " "damn... Now I know why wicked wants my blood so badly. " you hugged yourself as if it would protect you from your blood getting taken away.

"Welp the doors are almost closing... Lets get you back to the Glade.follow me. " you nodded. "Yeah, I kind of got lost when running... " The griever showed you the way back but suddenly stopped. "Okay go straight then take a right... I'll stay here because if the gladers see you with me they'll freak the fuck out. " you let out a laugh. "Thanks." You then realized something.

"Wait I don't know where thomad and minho are!! " "don't worry I'll chase them back to the Glade. " "ha... They deserve that... Thanks again... Um do you have a name I can calm you by instead of griever?" "Call me seven... Since I'm from section seven. " you nodded. "Okay, well it was nice meeting you seven. Oh and when your chasing the boys can you not sting them?... "

"I won't." You were about to walk away when you stopped. "Hey seven... One more question... How come when I tried teleporting... It didn't work?... " "well your teleportation runs on your energy... So since you were running before and your body became tired it didn't have enough energy to teleport. "

"Okay well... Goodbye seven. " you waved at seven and walked into the Glade.
