Keep Your Watch (the maze runner/Thomas Fanfiction) *DISCONTINUED*

9) Life, Death and Everything Beyond

I trudged through the muddy ground of the glade, towards the pit where Thomas was locked up for the night, and the next.
With his food in one hand, I moved through the shades until I reached the pit.
Bending down, I saw Thomas already looking up, like he sensed I was coming. Ofcourse he had. my steps are not always sound.
I whispered. "Brought you food"
I placed the tray on the ground beside me and started to unlock the pit, and once I successfully unlocked it, I pulled aside the cover.
Holding the tray again, I handed it over to Thomas, who took it with a smile. I speculated that my work here was done and started to get up and move, but I was halted by Thomas.
"Amifer wait!"
I looked back at him.
"I uh I wanted to ask, why did you bargained for my punishment ?" He asks furrowing his eyebrows.
My mind goes blank. All the thought processes have been ceased and my brain refuses to work anymore. Even if I try to force it to circumvent something it fails to do so. So I give him the most suitable answer.
"It was purely due to the fact that I didn't think what you did must be considered wrong, you did what I would've done if in your place. So please don't assume I feel any pity towards you."
Then stoic expression comes back, taking over me like the clouds covering the sky.
"Don't worry. I don't feel like you have any pity towards me either."

The Room I lay in is soaked in white. Every wall, desk and chair. My bed is...soft if not for the belt wrapped around my neck. Voices echo before me.
"She's an asset for us."
"But she'll be in danger. We've never done this before to anyone."
"So what's the big deal in doing this once?"
"I dont know. Whatever you do I'm not getting involved in it."
A sigh and a few steps follow the conversation.
A few minutes later a blonde woman, in her thirties perhaps , hovered above me.
"You're going to be just fine."
But the long syringe in her hands told me otherwise.
