Running (Thomas x Reader)

I remember you (Part one: Thomas's POV)

I sat quietly holding Y/N close to myself, I could feel the warmth that come from her body. It truly felt normal and so familiar to have her this close. But as much as I wanted to enjoy this moment, my mind was running over Alby's final words. Alby was right. I needed to get them out of this maze and to some where better. There was no real way to live though another night like this one. There was no way we could be lucky twice, let alone three times. The longer we all sat there, the quieter it become outside, untill we could hear nothing at all. I got up and headed towards the door. I felt someone grab my hand softly, I turned back to see it was Y/N "Thomas?" she said. "It's alright" I said wishfully, in truth I really didn't know what laid on the other side of the door.

Had the Grievers really left the Glade or were they laying in wait for us to come out. Either way we need to see for ourselves. I felt her let go as I got to my feet. Once at the doors, I began to remove what we had placed there to keep them closed. Others come over to help me do just that, one of them of course being Chuck. For a moment my eyes drifted to Y/N, she was looking through the hole in the roof. I heard her sigh before returning to what was before me. Once enough of what was there had been moved, I was the first to head out of the door. The Glade was in disarray, huts were a blaze with fire. Some of the fields were food was planted were destroyed crops having been ripped from the ground. But oddly enough as much as I looked around myself, I couldn't see on died body, it was as if the they had never been there to begin with.

"oh god" Y/N said as she stepped out a little further, I followed untill I saw something laying on the floor. Bending over to pick it up, I knew what I held in my hand. The one thing that may just give me some answers. It was a grievers stinger. Y/N looked over to me, I know she'd try to stop me if I didn't act fast. "Thomas, please don't!" she said. I smiled warmly towards her, as she jolted forward to stop my hand. "I need to know" I said before I stabbed it into my chest. The last thing I remembered before hitting the floor, was a burning pain thought my body and Y/N's beautiful eyes. The world around me began to swim with colours and images, images of things I didn't remember.

But one person who stood out in all of it was Y/N, even thought seeing her there brought me comfort. The swirling of colour and images was being me feel ill. That was untill they stopped, I found myself in a hallway. I couldn't shack the feeling of this place being familiar as I stood there but it was then I looked up. Across from me was Y/N. "How?" I thought, confused as to how I could be here, I tried to move or to say something to her. But found I was not in control of my own body. I stood watching the scene before me unfold. "I'm Thomas" I found myself saying, how could I of forgotten. This was when I first meet Y/N. Still as beautiful as she was in the Glades. She had given me a warm smile before taking my hand and shacking it. "My name is Y/N" she said softly, even as I remember this I know I was going to be with her forever. "Well I should really show you around" I found myself saying as my hand let go of hers.

We began to walk around, as we went I found myself telling her of each area, from where the labs were to where the ladies was. Even though the words were coming from my mouth, the places we were seeing, I to was seeing them for the first time . She made jokes as we went along, she seemed so much more care free here. It was like I was getting to see another side of her.

Just as I was getting comfortable in the sight of this moment, it changed. We were in a lab, both working away. I looked towards the panel before me, I saw data as well as names. I looked to another screen to seetthe Gladers, but just as I saw them. My eyes  looked to another screen, to see another group in another maze. There were so many groups, all trying to get through their own maze. I looked up and towards Y/N, she looked upset. I could understand why, she was watching group after group fail and be killed by what lived in the maze. I felt myself rush around to her, as she punched the table before herself. I brought her close, stopping her from doing it again. Her arms wrapped around me. "I can't do this any more Thomas" I could hear her whisper. I wanted to hold her for real but I was forced to simply relive the events that we had all be forced to forget. "I know" I told her as I ran my fingers slowly in her hair.

I watched as it all changed again, I was sitting before a woman. She was telling me how everything that we were doing was for the good of mankind. That those in the maze would save so many lives, it made me feel sick. How could she justify, using one lot of people to save another. Even I felt there had to be another way, a way that both sides could go on living. But my blood ran cold at her very next words she spoke. "Nothing will happen to her Thomas, she will be safe here" she said before her screen showed Y/N working along side Teresa. "What do you mean by that?" I wanted to shout, what were they going to do to her. My mind was sent a spin as more images and memories moved around before my eyes. I had so many more questions now but most importantly, I remembered her. The pain in my body was slowly dying down as for a brief moment I saw Y/N again. She looked towards me looking so very happy, my eyes looked towards her lips as they began to move "I lov...." was all I heard her say before I was jolted awake.

I was being dragged to my feet by Gally, who looked truly enraged. "Let him go!" I heard Y/N shouted. I wasn't bothered by him but my eyes did look towards her. "I remember you" I said as I looked towards her smiling.
