meet at wrong time

chapter 3- alone

The thick, sandy Air entered my lungs, and it felt like I couldn't breathe. Minho gripped hold of my left arm, and Thomas grabbed hold of my right, making sure I can't do anything but run at their pace, which may I say was quite fast. We ran over hills of sand. Guards driving on there 4 quads searching for the escapees get closer, damn I loved when I got to ride them. I'm pulled down to the ground, and a hand covers my mouth, "Don't move." Thomas whispered over to me. I tried sitting up, but I was instantly pulled back down, so I gave up. I feel like a stupid little kid with a massive headache which just kept on getting worst. 

After 40 seconds of laying there, my vision gets blurry, and my head is killing. Then my vision goes blank. Just darkness filling my eyes.

---------------------------------------------------------

I woke up looking around my surroundings, we was in some sort of mall. I try to move, but every movement is agony, like my body has just been battered. I look down to my hands, a pair of handcuffs on my right hand, which is then attached to the pole next to me. At least they didn't just leave me there. I lift my free hand to my head where their seems to be some sort of material on the back of my head, stopping the bleeding.

I bring myself to sitting against the wall, "Guys, you there." I shout kind of, hoping for a reply to anxious to be left alone out here. 

Teressa comes walking in and gets down to my level, "we are going to take the handcuffs of you, but someone is going to watch you 24/7, they are going to be armed and can attack you, will you run?"

"Where am I supposed to run to?" I say still a little dizzy from passing out. She uncuffs my hands and gives me her hand. I don't take the hand only an idiot would. Instead, I use the wall to get up by myself.

After I got up, a painful scream came from outside, making me and Teressa look to see what's going on. I noticed Minho and Thomas being chased by...oh shit cranks.

"Teressa, I know you don't trust me, but we need to get out of here." I say, she just nods in reply.

We run towards the rest of the group. Teressa replayed my message to the group, "we need to get out of here."

Just at that moment, we hear Minho and Thomas shouting to Run. So we ran. We ran as fast as we could. Bare in mind I was never in a maze. I did well to keep up.

As we ran, everyone stopped looking at newt being attacked by a crank. I just kept running. I'm not risking my life for them. I heard Teressa shout after me, "You said you wouldn't run away." Are you actually going to say that to me right now? we are running for our lives.

I turn to see them catching up, and I reply, "I'm not dying here, not yet"

We all run up an escalator, down a tight hallway. Thomas leading and me close behind. He is trying to open the doors, but non open. So I stepped back, took a run up, and barged into the door. Minho and Thomas looked at me in shock, and I just shrugged. Do they not know what a gym is?

--------------------------------------------------------------

After we got out of the mall, I noticed Winston was very injured from the cranks teared at his skin. "You know you're going to die, right?" I said matter of fact, as we sat down for the night.

"Y/N Shut up if you speak. I'll tape it shut, and the handcuffs go back on." Thomas demanded. I roll my eyes.

"I'm just saying he won't last verry long even you know that." I tucked my knees up to my chest, trying to keep warm and seek comfort

Thomas death stared at me. "So where's the right-arm." He directed at me. 

"Classified," I say mockingly, giving him a soft sarcastic smile.

"Hands out then." He says, holding up the cuffs.

"Alright, I was joking, but promise me one thing you don't let them kill me," I didn't plead but just spoke softly really not wanti9ng to end it like that i want a cool death not one that sucks. 

He puts the cuffs in his pocket and nods. "In the mountains, that's all I know they rescue kids from wicked."

"Ok, we should make it in a couple of days." He says determined we can do this.

"A couple of days until I might die." I hint of hope was in my voice when I said might I still don't know if Thomas will help me. 

"Y/N, go to Teressa. I can't do that it's her turn to be annoyed," he pointed toward Teressa just around the corner of the broken building. I get up needing a break from Thomas anyway.

I slowly walk over to Teressa, "Thomas got annoyed and said its your turn to watch me, but I don't need watching if you cant."

"Shut up and sit down." I shrug my shoulder and turn around, looking for a place to sit.  I don't want to sit on sandy and muddy ground, that will get my jacket dirty. I love this jacket it's my favourite, I literally barely wash it, its like comfort thing don't ask me.

I'm about to sit down when Teressa says, "Y/N," I turn around to find a fist in my face, Teressa's fist. She has the guts to punch me. Oh no, that's the biggest mistake you'll make.

I put my hand on my nose, pretty sure it's broken, "what was that for?" I exclaimed angry once again. 

"It's for all the innocent kids because you are a monster and deserve to be punished." These words hit a nerve harder than it should, sending anger surging through my body.

I steadied myself charging at her legs, making her fall hard to the floor. I started pounding my fist against her face in anger. Blood poured from her nose and cuts on her face. Blood covered my knuckles. I didn't feel sorry or guilty. All I felt was anger. She tried too push me off but i over powered her with my strength and hours of training. 

Her body lay still, Minho and Thomas ran over. Minho grabbed my arms and pinned me down on the floor, his knee on my back stopping me from getting up.

"I didn't do anything. She started it. I swear I did nothing," I shout at Minho struggling trying to keep the panic in me. 

He looks down at me with disgust in his eyes, "yet she's not the one on top of you making you nearly unconscious."

I close my eyes in defeat. No one was going to believe me. No one ever has, but It was different when you're all alone in a desert being threatened. I was trying not to panic as  I couldn't move and he was touching me it was too much I swear somethings wrong with me. 

I official want Teressa dead.

A pair of handcuffs were placed on my hands, and I was pulled off the floor. Thomas walks up to me rage all over her face, "what was that for?" He shouted in my face. I put my head down, not replying no one would believe me.

Thomas grabbed me by my neck and dragged me over to where we were camping out, he through me to the floor next to the Aris. he walked away to where everyone was crowding Teressa. And damn that's my jacket dirty. Seriously, people respect the denim.

"What did you do." Aris whispered to me after moving closer to me.

"Teressa punched me, so I attacked her." I whispered back.

"Good, I don't like her," he smiled at me.

I started laughing and then said, "At least someone believes me."

"Just because you worked for w.c.k.d doesn't mean we can't have our daily killing each other with laughter."
We settled down into the wall, my hands cuffed in front of me, and went to sleep on Aris' shoulder.
