Newt x Y/n, Part 1: The Glade

Chapter 33, The Offering

I woke up back in the pit. Thomas and Teresa were in the out as well. Chuck, Minho, and Thomas were outside staring at us.

I gasped and got up.

"It's okay, you're alright." Teresa said.

"Breathe love." Newt said.

"What the hell happened?" I asked.

"Thomas took it upon himself to sting hisself and you guys both blacked out." Minho said.

The memories from last night flooded in. I looked down at my leg. It was wrapped but the bandage was almost fully bloody.

Suddenly Thomas woke up. Teresa had his head in her knees and she was caressing his cheek.

"About time sleepy head." Teresa said.

He got up suddenly and had a look of guilt on his face. I got on my knees and crawled over to him. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm the reason why you're all here." He said.

He looked up at us.

"What?" I asked.

"I was on their side," he explained. "I was working with them. Teresa you were on their side too. Y/n..." he said.

I looked at him.

"You we're supposed to be in their side, but you betrayed them by trying to shut off the Grievers and get us out of here. That's what got you put here." A tear escaped my eyes.

"We all knew each other before the maze. We were all friends. Me, Teresa, Newt, Y/n, Chuck, Minho, Winston, and Frypan. Newt, you and y/n were a couple back then."

Me and Newt looked at each other. Thomas looked at me with a worried look.

"What?" I asked him, scared.

"Y/n.., Gally was your ex boyfriend. But he was never a good boyfriend. He treated you horribly."

"Shit." I whispered.

"They bribed me and Teresa to be on their side. They said we would be able to help you guys find yo ur families. But they lied. Gally was right about me." Thomas said.

"So what you're just gonna give up? This was all for nothing then? Look, you think you found a way out and you're gonna give up? It doesn't matter who you were before, it matters who you are now." Newt said.

"So what do I do?" Thomas asked.

Newt looked at him,

"You get off your ass and finished what you started." Newt said.

Thomas looked at him and nodded.

"I assume Gallys got everyone on edge?" I asked.

"Yea, he's got everyone convinced Thomas is the reason all of this has happened. He's planning on banishing Thomas." Chuck said.

Me and Thomas looked at each other. We created a plan. We had to get out of this glade, we had to escape the maze. We didn't wanna be here any longer.

We decided that we were gonna let Gally think that Thomas was still unconscious. When they were gonna try and wake Thomas up, Thomas would attack the person who was holding him. Chuck was gonna go and get supplies.

If any of the gladers tried to hurt us we would fight back. We were gonna try to take anyone with us who wanted to get out.

The other took me and Teresa out of the pit. I decided to go and get weapons with Minho. Newt already had a small machete on his back. He always had it.

"Come on y/n." Minho said.

He grabbed my hand and we walked to the map hut.

"Do you think this is gonna work?" I asked.

"I'm not sure, but we just gotta keep a positive mindset." Minho said.

Once we gathered enough weapons, we hid them underneath our shirts tucked into our pants and we ran out to where Gally was preparing for banishment.

There were 3 poles of wood by the walls but I ignored it.

"So that's it? You're just gonna banish him like that?" Newt asked.

"Newt, all this weird stuff has been happening ever since he arrived. It's weird okay? I can't risk more lives in his hands. We already lost Ben, Alby and many more. How many more loyal friends do we have to lose to realize that he's the bad guy?" Gally said firmly.

Newt shook his head. Me, Minho, and Chuck walked by Newt standing in unison. Teresa joined us. Soon they dragged Thomas. He looked lifeless.

"Good job Thomas." I thought.

Gally cleared his throat,

"I've put a lot of thought into this and I've realized something. Thomas isn't our only problem. We have 2 girls that we don't need. Tie 'em up." Gally said.

"Wait-" Teresa said.

One tall put my arms behind my back,

"HEY! Get your hands off me!" I yelled.

"Hey!" Newt yelled.

"Let them go!" Minho yelled.

I tried to fight back but I was still weak from my blackout.

"LET GO!" Teresa yelled.

Before I knew it, my arms were being tied up to the pole. I was struggling to get out. Newt and Minho were being held back by other gladers.

"Struggling isn't gonna get you anywhere sweetheart." The guy said caressing my face.

I bit his hand.

"AW! MOTHERF-" Gally cut him off.

"You 2, you're special. You guys had me fooled you know? Well Teresa was easy to figure out. You y/n, you're unreadable. You had me good. All you ever wanted was to ruin us." He laughed.

"What? What are you talking about?!" I yelled.

"Now, I don't wanna have to cross any more names off those walls, but if it means protecting my friends, keeping them alive, I'll do whatever it takes." Gally said.

"Why banish us if we're so special?" Teresa asked.

"Oh, this isn't a banishment, this is an offering." Gally said.

"What?" Teresa yelled.

"Tie him up." Gally said in an annoyed voice.

"Showtime." I thought.

2 guys went to lift Thomas up. As soon as he got into his feet, he elbowed both guys in the stomach, they fell to the ground. Newt pulled out his machete and hit the guy who was holding him with it. Minho knees his guy on the stomach.

Minho cut off Teresa's restraints while newt cut off mine. Me, Thomas, Newt, Minho, Teresa, and Chuck stood at the entrance to the maze facing all the gladers. I held a spear along with Thomas.

I handed Teresa and Chuck knives.

"You're making a big mistake." Gally said.

"Gally we can't stay here," thomas said, "sooner or later the Grievers are gonna come and get you and kill you all. You either come with us and find home or you stay here and die. Whoever wants to come with us is welcome."

A few gladers came to us. As well as Frypan, Winston, Clint, and Jeff. A few others as well.

"The glade is home." Gally said.

Thomas nodded.

"Let's go!" Minho said.

We ran into the maze.
