The Maze Runner (Oc x reader)

Chapter 1 - Safe?

"We weren't the only maze."

"Y/N." You hear his deep voice whisper to you, echoing in your head. "I love you, baby."

Feeling hands roughly shake you, you startle awake.

"Y/N!" Newt exclaims, shaking you awake.

With wide eyes you frantically look around in panic, looking for a certain set of familiar eyes you love so much. Then an image of those eyes slowly closing and you being dragged away from their limp body crashes to the front of your mind.

"Y/N, we gotta move!" Newt shouts, pulling you up and helping you out of the helicopter.

In your peripheral vision you barely see who you think might be Thomas being shaken awake too.

The soldiers just grab you and drag you with them, already knowing your state.

"Let's go! Move it! Come on!" Someone shouts around you as they drag your half limp body with them.

You hear gunfire and shouting making you try to look around a bit but you don't see what who or what they're firing at.

"Keep moving! Keep moving!"

Once inside they let you go when one just keeps holding you up as you look around at your friends. Counting them. Always one to short when you count.

...

You're all sitting in a room waiting, after the others had eaten a little. They had tried to make you eat but you refused.

Not having the stomach for anything after losing Liam.

They tried over and over but you kept refusing and shaking your head, making yourself dizzy, so they stopped. They kept glancing at you in worry, you were dazed and unfocused, not to saying anything when someone tried to talk to you or look anyone in the eyes. Just staring out into nothing.

The doors open and a man comes through.

"You kids doing alright? Sorry about all the fuss. We had ourselves a bit of a swarm." The stranger says.

"Who are you?" Thomas asks and he smirks.

"I'm the reason you're all still alive." He answers. "It's my intention to keep you that way. Now, come with me. We'll get you kids squared away." He says and leaves for you to follow.

...

"You can call me Mr. Janson. I run this place." The man says as you all just follow after him. "For us it's a sanctuary, safe from the horrors of the outside world. You all should think it as a way station. Kind of a way between homes. Watch yourselves." He then warns and you look up, seeing sparks flying from the workers tools above you.

"That means you're taking us home?" Thomas asks.

"A home of sorts." Janson answers. "Sadly, there wouldn't be much left of wherever you came from. But we do have a place. A refuge, outside the scorch, where WCKD will never find you again. How does that sound?"

"Why are you helping us?" Minho asks him.

"Let's just say the world out there is in a rather precarious situation. We're all hanging on by a very thin thread. The fact that you kids can survive the Flare virus makes you the best chance of humanity's continued survival. Unfortunately, it also makes you a target, as no doubt by now you've noticed." He stops by a door. "Beyond this door, lies the beginning of your new lives." He says and uses his keycard to open it.

The door slides open, revealing a long hall, and he turns to back to you.

"First thing first, let's do something about that smell."
