Mazes- The Death Cure

3- Walls

We walked through crowds of people as they all yelled and moved slowly towards the walls.

"What's going on?" Newt asked. I shrugged and held my knife folded in my pocket. Holding onto Newt's shoulder he walked towards the front, guiding us. I looked up at a large van in the middle of the crowd. Weird looking guards held onto the side in gas masks. I furrowed my eyebrows as one of them stared at me. As I walked his face followed me. Thomas glanced at him and over at me worried.

"You good?" He asked.

"I'm fine," I said bluntly as I turned around and we kept walking. Finally reaching the front of the crowd I looked down at the barrier in front of me. People yelled at the walls and the top of the building peeking out behind them. My eyes shot to the two large guns on both sides of the opening. I looked over at Newt as he looked at me concerned. My heart beat rapidly.

"How do we get in?" Brenda asked.

"I don't think we do," Jorge said motioning to the guns.

"There has to be a way in," Thomas said. My eyes shot to the guns as a soft buzzing sound came from them. They slowly moved up and adjusted positions.

"Guys," I said tapping Newt and Fry.

"The guns," I said pointing up.

"Oh shit," Brenda muttered.

"Everyone take cover!" Thomas yelled as the guns started shooting down at us. Dirt and debris blew up and flew everywhere. I covered my eyes as I tried to follow Newt through the crowd. The sound of screams and yells echoed around us. Thomas stayed close to me and dragged me into a large alleyway. My heart pounded as Thomas and I caught our breath.

"Where the rest of the group?" I asked worried. A large van pulled up as two men grabbed us. I grunted and tried to fight back as the pulled us into the van. Slamming the door Thomas and I sat in the dark van. A tiny bit of light seeped through the door and holes on the side of the walls.

"Shit!" I yelled. I got up and walked up to the front banging on the wall separating the drivers and us.

"Let us the fuck out of here! I swear to God I'll fu-!" I started saying before Thomas pulled my waist and dragged me back.

"Threatening them will not make them want to help us Bells," He said before the van turned quickly and sent us flying to the ground. He landed on top of me as we groaned in pain. I winced as my head pounded and a warm sensation came from above my eyebrow. His hand softly grazed it.

"You're bleeding," He said softly.

"Don't touch me," I said slapping his hand away.

"When will you let me in?" Thomas asked sternly.

Our eyes locked as he looked deep into my eyes and glanced down at my lips. It was this weird angry tension. I watched as he softly bit his lip. His hand tucked my hair behind my ear away from my eyes. I was so mad at him but I needed him so bad. His head softly tilted as he continued to looked from my eyes to my lips. My heart wanted me to give in to bad but my mind kept telling me to stop. He placed his hand next to my head and held himself up.

"Thomas," I whispered shutting my eyes and sighing.

"Stop, stop with this stupid game," he said lifting my chin up to his face level. My heart beat rapidly as butterflies filled my stomach. The van stopped and the doors unlocked. We quickly stood up as I placed my hand on my waistband prepared to grab my gun. Thomas stepped up next to me.

"We're not done with this conversation," He said lighting brushing his arm against mine. Tingles shot down my spine as I took a deep breath.

"This isn't a conversation," I said bluntly. The doors slid open as guards pulled us out. Fry and Newt stood next to a pillar looking at us worried. As the guards stepped away I quickly pulled the gun out of my waistband and aimed it at them securely.

"Drop your guns! Now!" I yelled. They all stared at me.

"What are you fucking deaf?!" I added. One of the guards, the one who had stared me down earlier motioned for them to drop them. They all put down their guns. I watched as they all set them on the ground. A van pulled up as grunted and yells came from it. As the door slid open a guard flew to the ground. Jorge jumped out and on top of him. Brenda stood trying to calm him down.

"Where the hell is she?!" He yelled punching the guard repeatedly. Thomas looked at me confused.

"Where the hell is Isabella!?" He yelled.

"Jorge stop! Im right here!" I yelled as Brenda pulled him off. He looked up and smiled in relief.

"Oh thank God," he said standing up. I gave him a soft smile as I looked back at the guard in front of me. Holding the gun up to him I took a deep breath in.

"Relax we're all on the same side here!" The same guard said strongly. His voice was familiar.

"Who are you?" I asked. The guard tilted his head and sighed.

"Take off the fucking mask," I said bluntly as I moved my gun around. The guard sighed and hesitantly pulled off the mask. My eyes widened as he revealed his face. Gally. My mind racing as I studied him confused. My hand slowly lowered the gun as I tried to gather my thoughts.

"Hey greenie," he said as he looked over at me awkwardly.

"Holy shit," Fry said softly. I stood in shock and confusion.

"Fuck you!" Thomas yelled as he tackled Gally. I slipped the gun into my waistband and ran over to them. I watched as Thomas slammed his fist into Gally's cheek. Fry and Newt ran over as we tried to pry Thomas off.

"Thomas stop!" Newt yelled.

"You killed Chuck!" He screamed as Gally looked up at us guiltily. Fry held back Thomas's fist.

"I know, I remember, but I also remember Gally being stung and half out of his mind," Newt added. Thomas looked up at me as I gave him a worried look. He slowly got up and stumbled back as Newt and Fry held him steady. I moved in front of Gally and reached out my hand to help him up.

"Thanks Bel-," I quickly slammed my fist into his face and elbowed him in the stomach angrily.

"That is for Chuck," I said shaking out my fist. I held my other fist and swung it into the other side of his face as he grunted.

"That is for shit you put me through in the maze," I said shaking out the other one and staring up into his face. Blood seeped from his nose and a large gash on his lip. I lightly wiped away the blood on his lip and gave a soft smile.

"Good to see you!" I said with a fake voice. Turning around Thomas stood with a soft smile. Fry tried not to laugh and Newt rubbed his mouth in shock. Jorge looked at me and winked as I stood next to Newt.

"Expected," Gally said adjusting his jaw.

"How the hell are you alive? We watched you die?" Fry asked confused.

"No you left me to die, after WCKD took y'all in, these guys came through and found me, patched me up, gave me some meds and, here I am," Gally replied.

"The better question is what the hell are you guys doing here?" He asked. I looked over at Thomas.

"They have Minho," I said staring at him intensely. His face dropped as he blinked rapidly.

"What? Who? WCKD? How?" He asked.

"Some girl we met, Desiree, she was in a maze, we thought we could trust her. When we found a safe camp she called WCKD, thought they could help save the world, even if meant all of us dying," Newt said looking over at Thomas and I. I sighed angrily and clenched my jaw.

"I'm guessing that you two don't like her very much," Gally asked looking at Thomas and I. I scoffed.

"Some liked her too much," I muttered. Thomas glared up at me.

"We need to get in the walls," Fry said breaking the silence.

"I might have a way in," Gally replied.
