The scorch trails (reader x Thomas)
The Hero-
Runaway?... to where? there's no where to go.
I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise you it won't be boring.
"Piss off rat man"
"And if they get hurt, I'll kill whoever did it myself"

It was already dark out. We all were sitting by a fire no one had said a word yet before Minho speaks up
"I thought we were supposed to be immune." Minho broke the silence "Not all of us, I guess." Teresa says "If Winston can get infected, we should assume so can the rest of us." Newt says It was silent between everyone till fry spoke up "I never thought I'd say it. I miss the glade." I see a tear fall down his cheek I feel tears come but I blink them away I can't cry not now. So I do the only thing I can't think of.
"You're headed for heaven The sweet old hereafter And I've got one foot in the door But before I can fly up I've loose ends to tie up Right here, in the old there-before And I'll be along When I've finished my song When I've shut down the band When I've played out my hand When I've paid all my debts When I have no regrets Right here, in the old there-before When nothing is left anymore And I'll catch you up When I've emptied my cup When I've worn out my friends When I've burned out both ends When I've cried all my tears When I've conquered my fears Right here, in the old there-before When nothing is left anymore And I'll bring the news When I've danced off my shoes When my body's closed down When my boat's run aground When I've tallied the score And I'm flat on the floor Right here, in the old there-before When nothing is left anymore When I'm pure like a dove When I've learned how to love Right here, in the old there-before When nothing is left anymore"
A tear falls from my eye and I quickly wipe it away before anyone can see Everyone just smiled having some comfort from my singing.
I wake up to the feeling on the sun burning my skin. I wake everyone up and we start moving again.
The sun sets again after a whole day of walking We all lay down but I can't sleep. I mess with the heart Chuck gave me. How I wish he was here to cheer me up with his smile.
I look in the distance but that's when I see it. Lights. There are lights! We made it!
"Hey hey!" I say "Get up! Get up!" I yell as everyone starts to get up "You see that?" I ask "It's lights, it's lights! We made it!" Thomas says But right after he finishes that sentence we hear a loud bang of thunder and lighting. We turn around to this a big storm heading our way.
"Alright alright let's go let's go!!" I yell grabbing my bag
We are almost there, I slowed down to be in the back to make sure everyone got through. A couple feet ahead of me were Minho and Thomas. we were so close to the doors when I saw a lightning flash, it felt like it is right on top of me. I went flying back and everything went black.
"Reyna! Reyna! Come on please I can't lose you" I hear Thomas cry I cough some and hear them all let out sighs I open my eyes finally "What happened?" I ask with a raspy voice "You got struck by lighting. I thought I lost you" Thomas says "You think after all I've been through imma let lighting kill me" I laugh Everyone laughs as they help me up "What's that smell?" Teresa asks Then out of no where a crank jumps out We all jumped back but the crank was chained up. But a dim light turns on and we see the whole building is full with chained up cranks.
Then again out of no where a girl walks out "I see you've met our guard dogs." She says "You guys look like shit," she add "No shit Sherlock" I say but earn nudges from the boys "Come on, follow me." She said as she walked away but when no one followed her she adds "Unless, you want to stay here with them." We all decided to follow her not wanting to stay with the cranks.
"Come on, keep up. Jorge wants to meet you." She says as we walk through a building full of people "Who's Jorge?" I ask her "You'll see. No one's come out of the scorch in a long time. You've got him curious," she said "And me too" she adds
"Anyone starting to get a bad feeling about this place?" Newt says "Definitely" I say "Let's just hear them out. Hear what he has to say." Thomas said She led us up some stairs, and walked into a room with an older man facing away from us mumbling something.
"Jorge, they're here." The girl says After a couple second he turns around "Do you ever get the feeling the whole world's against you?" Jorge asked us "If only you knew" I mumble earning nudges to my side again
"Three questions. Where did you come from? Where are you going? How can I profit?" He said When no one answers he adds "Don't all answer at once." "We're headed for the mountains. Looking for the Right Arm." Thomas told him All the men around started laughing at us while Jorge just smirked "You're looking for ghosts, you mean. Question number two: Where did you come from?" He says Thomas and I looked at each other then I spoke up "That's our business." I say Jorge shrugged then the men behind us grabbed Minho, Thomas, and I, and other men grabbed the rest of them "Get the hell off me, man!" Thomas yells I felt a hand grab my shoulder and neck making me look down. She puts a device over my neck "Get off of her!" Minho and Thomas yelled "Shut up, you big babies." She said to them I tried getting out of their grip but I couldn't
"What is that?" I ask She lets go looking at the device The men finally let go of us and we stood back up
"You were right." She said to Jorge He looked at the device "Right about what? What's she talking about?" I asked him Jorge chuckled looking straight at me "I'm sorry, hermana. Looks like you're tagged. You came from Wicked. Which means," he makes eye contact with me "You're very valuable. Especially you" he says to me
