The Ominous Maze || The Maze Runner || Minho

•26•

It has been 4 hours since I spend my time with Newt and Teresa as we still searching in each section to spot any different, but sadly there's none of it.

My head started to hurt like hell. Newt and Teresa already exhausted since they started earlier than me. Probably hungry.

Oh yeah, talk about hungry, yeah we missed our lunch since we're too excited for the maps that turns out nothing have shown. And now we are all greeted with our grumbling stomach and a Gladers came just now, told that it's the time for us to go back to the Homestead. Because it's getting late(not that late) and the Grievers will enter the Glade anytime soon.

"I'm so hungry~" Teresa whined while rubbing her stomach. We're all now walking across the Glade, making our way towards the Homestead. The Gladers that came for us was infront, carrying the box of the maps carefully from the Gladers likes Alby.

"Maybe we could asked Frypan. I'm so hungry either." I replied as I wrapped my arms, covering my grumbling stomach.

"Can't sure about it." Newt blurted out. "Frypan would never had a leftovers. If he had, he'll never waste it for us since the supplies are runnin' so damn quick."

"Just tryna' lighten the mood, Newt." I said while rolled my eyes.

Once we arrived, Newt told us not to wait for him because he had something to settle down. Probably the maps. I walked into the Homestead as I saw some of the Gladers are in a certain room, having a quiet talk among them.

I could see Teresa was particularly begging Frypan for some food, but it's seems like he couldn't fulfill her wish and that he was sorry at last. Poor girl.

I was wondering what's Alby doing right now. After the incident just now, he didn't leave his room once. He was supposed to gathered with the Gladers, at least having a little talk, enjoying, laughing with them. But now, it looks like he was in his own world.

I walked towards the stairs and make my way upstairs, to Alby's room and yeah, I make a decision to check on him.

There were some of the Gladers at here too but most of them are at downstairs. I make it to Alby's room as I'm about to knock but it was opened by the people in there. And it's Jeff.

"Hey, Tessa. What're you doin' up here?" Jeff asked with his hand full of bandage and some other medicine.

"Oh nothing, just wanna check on him. Is he doing, alright?" I questioned while trying to sneaked through the small gap of the open door.

"Yeah, you may and he's doin' alright for this moment. But don't put on so much pressure on him. He's not fully recover yet." Jeff explained, making me nodded in acknowledgement.

Jeff soon left as I knocked Alby's door. After hearing "come in" from a husky voice of Alby's, I yanked open the door and stepped into his room. Alby was sitting on his bed while his back leaned against the wooden wall.

"Oh Tessa, what are you doin' here?" Alby asked with a weak smile carved on his lips.

"Nothing, just wanna check on you." I replied with a smile as well. "Are you doin' alright?"

"I-I don't really know." Alby sighed while looking down on his laps. "I-I saw you."

"You've alread-" I couldn't finished my words when Alby suddenly cutted off.

"I've only told you that I saw you." Alby explained as he shut his eyes while mumbling something, before his flickered open his eyes and stared deathly into mine.

So there're more? My thought asked.

"When I got through the Changing,, I saw...you...another girl...saying 'WICKED is good' and...tube of waters...I'm screaming for a help...but no ones help....there's also a decease that called the Flare." Alby stopped right there as his eyes started to get teary.

"What a-are you talking about? I don't understand." I asked as my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"You...the other girl... and Thomas...so smart...and you ...worked with the Creators ...three of you are important.... in their organization...but t-they don't like Minho... gettin' close to you." Tears started to flow down on Alby's dry cheeks.

But they don't like Minho.

Don't like Minho.

Minho.

"It's better die in here with the shuck Grievers than dying out there." Alby continued as his face changed into one of anger. "Trust me, Tessa. You don't want to remember the real world."

I lost my words as I was too stunned for a momentiraly. He was saying the exact same thing as Gally.

Trust me.You don't want to remember the real world.

Does the real world are that worse than being in here? Thomas? Teresa? They were a part of them too? But why I'm the only got mentioned? And if we were really a part of them, why are they sent us up here? In this place that surrounded by a massive and horrifying maze? Aren't they need us if we're important to them?

I was about to open my mouth, when suddenly a knocked, making me turned to saw Teresa just poke her head in, afraid if she might interrupted.

"Urm, Tessa, Newt askin' for you. Right now." Teresa said while biting his lower lips.

I nodded in response and turned back, facing Alby. He aren't taking his eyes off from the brown blanket that lies on his laps.

I sighed and stood up from the chair and walked out from Alby's room.

I brought my feet towards the stairs and make my way to the first floor, as I saw some of the Gladers already cuddled in scare. They were some at the nook of the living room and some in the hallway.

I walked and enter the living room area, when Newt suddenly dragged me towards an unknown direction until I saw Teresa and Chuck sitting there, together while having a little talk among them. I wonder what are they talking about.

"What's wrong?" I asked in confusion, as I took a seat besides Teresa.

"Yes, everything's definitely wrong 'cause I'm bloody incharge for taking care the two of you and please do not cause anything that involve me to any trouble. Thank you." Newt stated, with the fakiest smile I've ever seen from him. He then walked off.

"Manners doesn't suit him really well, seriously." Teresa said with a slight disgusted showed. I giggled a bit. Yeah, sure it is.

Tessa?

A familiar voice suddenly ringing inside my head. I fully turned, facing Teresa with all in confusion. She staring as well but her face doesn't showed any shocked nor confusion.

H-how-

I don't even know, though. I thought I could only do this telepathy things with Thomas.
Turns out you too.

Thomas too?

Uhuh.

Wow, that's kind of shocking.

I could hear a giggled ringing inside my head, making me smiled a bit. Also, Chuck have been watching us since earlier with his furrowed eyebrows of confusion, making me laughed harder.

"What the shuck is goin' on with you people?" Chuck questioned as he stood up from his seat and walked off as his seat with a random Gladers but his eyes still staring at us oddly.

I think we should have this things in privacy. He might think that we're that loonie. I said, making Teresa giggled.

Yes absolutely. Besides my head is gettin' hurt.

"Mine too." I replied. "But that's quiet shocked, seriously. I thought it was my own thought."

"You'll get used to it soon."

And the night began.

*******

So here, I'm decided to make Thomas was a part of WICKED since my book rules are more basically on movie but don't worry it's still based on the book!
