Runners (Teresa x Y/N) [Book 1]

11 - Survived! But Lies!

Y/N Pov

"I am ok Thomas, Just pretty sore, it dropped me about 10 if not 20 feet from the ground" I said, then all a sudden I heard the loud relieving sound of concrete scraping and cogs turns and felt the warm feeling and shine of the sun brush my skin indicating that we survived this god damn stone hellhole, "Come on, let's get out of here" Thomas said, helping me up and supporting me as I limped from the gashes and bruises on my leg and the hidden sting that was on my abdomen, I groaned in pain as we made it back to the maze doors and inside all the way to Alby.

"I'm not stung Alby I promise, it just dropped me" I said going to get up, I fold my arms across me chest annoyed at the fact he wouldn't let me leave this damn uncomfortable bed, "Are you completely sure?" he asked me worried and concerned I nodded placing my hand on his shoulder "I am sure" I say as he nods then looks at Thomas.

"She seems alright, Not trying to kill anyone but it doesn't mean we can't watch her to be sure" Thomas responds, I nod "That's fine you can watch me" I say getting up as Alby leaves "Thank you Thomas" I say "Don't mention it, But I trust you to tell us if you feel weird, because not even you can be sure if you were stung" he said to me I nodded feeling bad about lying but I'd much rather it be that way I wasn't one for having people's attention.

We walked out of the Medjack hut and over to the others at the campfire, Newt ran over to me embracing me tight in his arms not wanting to let me go, "How did you make it out of there, we heard a blood curdling scream" he said almost shaking as I embraced him back very gently "I'm not even sure how to explain it, it was really weird, I was twenty feet in the air with the thing it stabbed me with it's leg I think and then all of a sudden dropped me" I said acting confused still shaken up myself as flashes of the event appeared in my mind then Teresa spoke up.

"Maybe.. We uh shouldn't talk about it" she said, I glanced at her "Really?" Newt asked her she nodded "She may have PTSD" she says shrugging, I get up from sitting "I'm going to go to rest in the tree house, I'll come find you guys later" I say limping off.

I managed to get inside the tree house closing the hatch gently behind me and limp over to the couch taking a seat leaning across it, pulling my shirt up glancing at my chest, it was already scabbed over and looking weird, it was multiple colours at once and I could clearly see the start of the infection there as well.

"Fuck" I muttered under my breath also slightly panicked keeping my cool though, think about what I was going to do because I didn't want to end up like Ben attacking people or even worse dead in the maze, it had been a little bit and Ben had only gone crazy a few hours after so I thought positively maybe i'm ok.

Then there was a knock at the hatch, I pulled my shirt down "You can come in" I said assuming it was Tara or one of the boys, but man I was more than wrong, it gently opened and Teresa poked her head up brilliant I thought just what I really needed I sighed quietly.

"Oh.. hi.." I said glancing at her as she closed it "Is there something you need" I ask her with my arms folded to my chest, she glances back at me "Why don't you like me?" she asked, she didn't just ask that did she right? I chuckled rolling my eyes "Why would you think that" I asked her still glancing "You-" she starts sighing quickly "You won't give me a chance, every time you've seen me you have ignored me, since the moment I got here with Tara but you don't ignore her or when I'm around you leave, staying when she appears or you get verbally aggressive" she says.

I look away biting my tongue standing up from the couch "Things were ok, until you arrived and before my name came out your mouth, things were normal and everyone was happy and safe here together" I mutter feeling her gaze locked on me "Like what" she asked seemingly very cautious, I turn glaring right at her "Oh I don't the fact Ben got stung! Went for me! Almost killing me! then you appear and remember my name! My Name!" I snap.

She looks down, staying silent unsure of what to say at that moment "so you think I am working for them is what you are implying here, Well newsflash Y/N! I'm not ok! It's all just a big coincidence and you should be blaming Tara too" she yells, "Leave Tara out of this she's not here" I say walking towards the hatch forgetting to go around tripping over it, landing on my chest rolling onto my back groaning in pain.

"Woah! Y/N.. Are you o-" she went to say before she noticed something "Hold on" she said quietly and concerned "What?" I say not realising she was glancing at my chest, "There's something on your stomach" she said I quickly pull my shirt down to hide it but it rolled up "It's nothing! Just a tattoo, I don't know why I have it though I just do" I exclaim panicked "Liar" she mumbles, "W-What.." I say sweat appearing on my head she pulls her blade out point it at me "You are a liar.. Show me please.." she said I put my hands up and she lifts my shirt seeing the mark, her eyes widen "You were stung... Y/N.." she said.
