Have A Little Hope [TMR Minho Fanfiction]

19. The Woman and her Child

I grab a piece of food and walk over to where Minho was sitting.

"That shank ready?" He asks, his mouth full of food.

I nod and sit beside him. It's the first time I sat down in hours, and my legs were killing me. I let out a sigh of relief. Man, is it good to sit after a long day.

Then footsteps come pounding down the stairs.

"Come on, let's go. I wanna get this gatherin' over and done with," Newt yelled, hopping off the last step.

I only sat down. Thanks, Newt. I get back up and walk with Minho to put his dish away, then we walked to the hut together.

It took a while to get everybody in, sitting down and quiet. Getting them to be quiet was hell.

Newt clears his throat, "Okay, since everyone's here, we shall begin."

All the keepers were here, and well, me.

"We have got a potential plan to leave this place, Skyler, would you like to explain?"

"Uh, yeah sure," I mumbled, "Well, me and Minho have been observing the void, and, well, it's hard to explain. There's a certain spot in the void where everything just, disappears? I don't know how to describe it, but it's different. It may be our way out. But there is only one catch to it. It might be where the grievers go in at day..."

I stopped talking and looked around. Everyone's eyes were fixated on me. Some were shocked, but none other like Gally, who once again looks absolutely outraged. I knew it would be hard to convince him.

"So, basically, you're leading us to our dead?" Gally asked.

I rolled my eyes, "don't be so dramatic, Gally."

"This is stupid. Doesn't anyone get it? There is no way out.  We are stuck here," he said, ignoring my comment.

"Gally, for once shut up and listen," Frypan butted in.

"I agree with Frypan," Newt spoke up.

Gally huffed and crosses his arms over his chest.

"So, what do you guys think? I know it's a far shot, but it's our only chance?" I looked around again. Some people were nodding, and some, well, look like Gally did.

"You're shucking stupid. There is no way out. You think you can come up in this maze and suddenly own everything, know everything? You haven't been here as long as I have, and trust me there is no way out," he said again.

"You're right. I haven't been here as long as you, Gally, but I have done something. I may have found our way out!"

"Or you might be leading us to our deaths! There are two outcomes in this situation!"

At this stage we were both standing, leaning across the table, almost shouting at each other. Everyone else was quiet, listening to everything we had to say.

"Yeah, there is two outcomes, but at least it's hope, right? At least we have a chance of getting out of here, going back to live a normal life!"

"You haven't seen what I've seen, you dumb shank! You don't know! I've seen you! Like I've said there's something about you that's not right!"

Minho stood up, "Guys, stop. Gally, shut your shucking hole."

Gally pointed at Minho, "Don't tell me what do you, you shank."

"Guys stop! Can't have a conversation with you three bickering!" Newt bellowed.

Gally looked at Minho, giving him a glare. Minho dos the same in return, than sat down.

The room suddenly started to spin. My head got a banging headache. I fell back into my chair, clutching my head. My hands suddenly felt wet, so I lifted them from my head and looked at them. They were full of blood, and my arms were full of cuts. Not big cuts, just really small cuts, but loads of them.

I felt my stomach starting to hurt again. I looked down, and in the same place as last time, there was a huge gash, blood oozing out of it.

I was loosing a lot of blood. The room started to fade, and slowly everything started to go black.

~*~

I wake up in the med-jacks room. I'm all alone, and for a minute I forget what happened, before it all rushed back.

WICKED. They were messing with me again.

I looked at my arms, and the cuts were still there.

What?

I get up and leave the room. I walk out into the open, and it's dark. I walk to the homestead, and no one is there.

I haven't seen one person yet. It was almost as o the place was deserted. Minho was most likely in our room, so I deiced to go there.

I opened the door, only to find it empty. The bed was still made, so he hasn't even been here. I decide to try Newt.

I close the door to my room, and tip toe down to Newts door. I knock, but there's no answer. I open the door, and again, no one was there. Where was everyone?

No one was in the kitchen. No one was outside.

I leave the homestead, trying too find someone outside. And I did.

As I left the homestead, in the far distance was a woman, with long curly blond hair, in a beautiful white dress.

I started to walk towards her direction.

As I'm about fifteen meters away from here, she suddenly starts screaming.

"Stop! Don't come any further! Go! Now! Leave me and go! Sky! Do as I say!"

I look the direction she's pointing in, to see a little girl about 6 years old, running towards the woman.

"Stop! Go! Now!" The woman screams.

Then a man started running towards the woman.

Well, I couldn't really call it a man. It more looked like a zombie gone wrong. It was making gargling noises, as if it was constantly choking. Blood ran down its face. It's skin was all bubbly and veiny.

It jumped on the woman's back, scraping her face. She dropped to the ground, and the zombie thing grabbed her legs and started to drag her towards the forest.

The little girl was now screaming like mad. She started to run towards the woman, but was grabbed back by some men in suites.

"Don't let them take my mommy! Please help her!"

They ignored her and no matter how hard she kicked or screamed, they kept dragging her away.

Although they had disappeared, I still hear the faint cries of the little girl, caller for her mother.

And then everything started to fade into the darkness.

So today I saw TST and it's not what I expected. It was good, but they changed it so much!

But enough of that. I hit 2k reads! Thank you all so much!
