Stydia Au - Lost in the maze

Chapter 28

Lydia's p.o.v.

After following Allison outside the maze with Stiles unconscious with his arms swung on our shoulder, we made it back to the glade. Scott stood stunned staring at us and ran over and wrapped his arms around us all.

"You're okay!" I smiled and laughed slightly out of joy and exhaustion. "S-Stiles. Is he's okay?" "Once we get him to the med jacks." The Gladers just stared at us and then I noticed Danny running to us and hugged me whilst a small tear rolled down his eye. "Don't you dare scare mother dearest like that again. You're grounded." We laughed and then took Stiles to the medical hut while explaining the crazy world that we came throught but excluding the part about the Nogitsune and Stiles dying.

I felt guilty for not telling them everything but it made more sense without the information and too much had happened in one day and it would hurt them if I told them everything.

"Your mother was the head of the creators!" "It was a bad nightmare. A lot happened that didn't make sense." "How did the world look like outside of here?" "Yeah! Was it nice?" "What did the evil head quarters look like?!" I cleared my throat and shook my head. "Everything was white with new technology and I only went outside once. It looked like a normal city." They all smiled with a look of hope to get out of the maze.

Allison then ushered the others out and guided me back to our hunt. She frowned and looked at me with one eyebrow raised. "Lydia. What else happened?" I sighed and explained everything to her as she just sat there in silence. After a few moments of silence which I sulked in guilt she then said the most unexpected thing possible.

"Deaton used to rule the glade before Stiles did, he was the most wisest and care person I have ever met. He was literally my first friend here, he never thought of me as less than anyone else because of my gender just like everyone else did. I always used to wonder how did I get so luck to have a best friend like him. "

Allison's p.o.v: Two and a half years ago.

I wrote down on my diary. It's been nearly four weeks since I've been here and now everyone is slowly treating me as their equal.

But I was suddenly interrupted from my thoughts by a group of boys shouting and screaming at each other. I walked out with a look of confusion and curious as to what that was all about and to see Jordan and Greenberg had gotten into a fight and Deaton had gotten in between it. Stiles interupted them too and gotten hit by Jordan and then began to fight. I watched them in shock and horror and Deaton ordered them to stop as and they did.

But then Parrish did the unexpected and pushed Stiles into the maze as the doors began to close. We all gasped and screamed in horror and Scott began to nearly chock Jordan.

"Scott! Let go of him! You might kill him!" "I don't care! He just threw Stiles in there!!" "Listen up everyone! I want Stiles to take over my space if I die from what I am going to do right now." "Deaton? Are you insane! He is good as dead now!" I shouted at him and Deaton then shook his head and me whilst smiling. "He'll make it. Just make sure to take care of Scott. I know he'll do something stupid." He whispered to me and then ran into the maze with a sword in his hand just as the doors slammed shut behind him.

Silence grew intense as loud bang hand echoed through our bones and the glade as we all stared at the door. There is no way Stiles would make it through. Never in like a million years. That's what we all thought whilst sitting outside staring at the door hoping it would open. Scott ordered everyone to go to bed and for Jordan to be placed in the slammer until he came up with an idea of what to do with him.

After a few hours of a nap, I gotten up and I sat down next to Scott with a look of worry consuming me. "Scott. You need to sleep. It's nearly sunrise in 2 hours and you didn't sleep. Niether Stiles and Deaton would like to see you like this, your killing yourself." "I tried. But I am worried about how they might die. Please. Let me watch to see if they are fine." "Okay. I'll stay awake with you." He smiled slightly as we sat for 2 hours until the sun rose.

All the Gladers ran out and started at the doors and we stood up and watched to see the doors had opened. Stiles stood on the other side carrying Deaton. They were covering in blood, completely soaked. But Stiles seemed to have a look of desperation as he dragged a unconscious Deaton,who happened to have scratches and wounds on him. "HELP US! HE'S GOING TO DIE! Please..."

"WHY ARE YOU ALL JUST STANDING THERE! HELP HIM!!" The med jacks had rushed in to help Deaton and Scott hugged him tightly and then spoke in a monotone. "Stiles, Deaton wants you to become the next leader." "What?! No... He has to live! I refuse to be the leader unless you try to help him!" Scott and I shared a look of worry and sadness.

"Stiles, we'll do everything we can, just help us out a bit and take his place whilst he recovers." He slowly nodded and stared at the hut in worry. "We can't let him die, you should of seen what he did there, he saved my life, repeatedly." Scott placed his hand on his shoulder in a comforting gesture. "We wouldn't allow it." He said in a reassuring tone and managed to mask his sadness and anger away to comfort his best friend.
Stiles nodded and managed to gain control his emotions. "Alright, you bunch of nosey bird brained shanks! I want Parrish to be made a slopper and a bagger until 5 new Greenies arrive and why are you all just standing there! Get to work!"

Lydia's p.o.v: present time.

"... and that is the beginning of his first day of working and what he's soon came to realise as his permanent job." I sat staring at Allison in shock. "So what you are telling me is that not only did we lose a good leader but we possibly lost another?"

"Yes... and a good person too at the same time." A tear threatened to fall down Allison's eye but she managed to get rid of it before it had fallen. "I didn't cry when he was trapped in the maze and when he came out, I did cry when he died but I refuse to let myself cry right now. Not when we are so close to leaving this horrible place."

"What do you mean by that?" "Lydia, I think we found a way out and the code to break out. We just need to finish it the last one." We walked out and visited Stiles in the medical hut. But I was dragged and taken away from Allison before she noticed and then I heard a whisper of a voice I never thought I'd hear. "Hello, Lydia."
