You're not Him

Echoes of Betrayal

Thomas walked outside to let Brenda rest and saw Jorge standing outside. Jorge then hugged Thomas, who was confused.

"If anything were to happen to her, I..." Jorge started to say. Thomas sighed and hugged him back.

"I know, I know." Jorge smiled.

"I guess I owe you, now." Thomas smiled back at him. He started walking away."Hermano?" Thomas turned back."I don't care if Janson is your father. You are not him." Thomas nodded.

"Thanks, Jorge." Thomas turned and saw his friends sitting on some rocks. He saw Newt in a jacket and couldn't help but smile at him. He was just too adorable sometimes. Thomas came to them and sat down next to Newt. They looked over the camp.

"I wish Alby could've seen all this." Newt said.

"And Winston." Frypan added.

"And Chuck." Thomas looked at the wooden figure.

"He'd be proud of you, Tommy." Thomas smiled at him. They saw Aris talking to Sonya and Harriet.

"Hey, Aris!" Frypan yelled. Aris looked up and waved.

"Hey, guys!" Aris yelled back.

"I kinda like that kid."

"Yeah. I still don't trust him, though." Minho joked and everyone smiled.

"Hey, where's Teresa?" Thomas asked.

"She went up there." Newt said. Thomas left them.

"Well, I'm starving." Frypan said. "I'm going to get food." He stood up.

"Count me in." Minho said. One by one the gladers stood up and went to eat. After they ate it was almost dark. Newt felt someone come up to him. He turned around and saw the girl from the mountains.

"I'm Sonya." Newt looked at the girl and smiled.

"Newt." Newt shook her hand. He had the sudden urge to protect her from anything.

"That sounds so familiar." Sonya said.

"It's possible we knew each other before the maze."

"It's possible. Maybe one day we'll find out." Newt heard a noise.

"Guys do you hear that?" Newt asked. Before anyone could answer, Newt saw a helicopter send a shot at the camp. Other helicopters followed. The gladers ran from the wicked guards. They ran to Vince and Harriet, who were shooting Wicked soldiers.

"Where's Thomas?" Minho yelled. Newt looked around but didn't see the boy anywhere.

"I don't see him!" Newt yelled back.

"Do you know how to use this?" Vince asked Minho, handing a gun to him. Minho nodded and others were handed a gun.

"Welp, no better time to learn than now." Frypan said and they all started to shoot Wicked soldiers.

"There's too many of them." Newt yelled.

"I'm out!" Frypan yelled. The next thing Newt felt was pain through his body. Newt fell to the floor along with the others. A guard picked him up and moved him with the others. They were placed down, kneeling. Wicked were scanning their necks.

"Where's Thomas?" Janson asked. Everyone looked around, not knowing where the boy was. Janson glared and went over to Newt, grabbing his hair."Where is he?"

"Hopefully he ran away."Newt growled. Janson yanked Newt's hair, making the boy wince. Minho went to stand up but was stopped by a guard.

"I know you two are together, he wouldn't leave you. So, I will ask again. Where is he?!"
