Running (Thomas x Reader)

The Great Escape. (Part one)

(( A/N: I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to get back to this story. I've been super stressed with college and the non stop deadlines. I'm hoping to finish this off in the next charpers after this one. So I can move onto book two. Please enjoy))

Once comfortable, you fixed your already messy hair. It was moments like this, you'd give just about anything for a mirror and a brush. Chuck stood just a little bit away from the slammer, he was keeping an eye out for anyone loyal to Gally. The last thing that you all needed was to be busted, before you could even get out of there. After going over the plan a final time, you were once again left alone. "How you feeling about all this?" Thomas asked you. "Well I feel nervous, I'm trying not to think about what could happen it we mess up" You said to him.

"Don't worry, we'll be out of here before you know it" Thomas said, just as noise could be heard. You looked through the bars and could just about seeing a group of Gladers heading over to the slammer. "Looks like it's show time" you said softly as you sat back. "Get them out" you heard Gally command, as the slammer was opened and you were pulled to your feet. You looked to your right to see the very same had been done to Thomas. He of course was as limp as he could go, this was only to make them let their guard down. So they wouldn't seen Thomas as a threat, looking to your left you saw how normally Teresa walked. It was then you began to fight, just to be troublesome and to draw their eyes to you. "Where are you taking us Gally?" you snapped out to him.

Gally carried on walking, he didn't look back to you. "To where you belong" he said as you saw the maze entrance come into view. For a moment you felt confussed, why would he take you to the place where you wanted to go anyway. It wasn't until you saw the wooden poles in the ground that you got the real picture. "Your taking us to the maze?" Teresa said. Gally laughed slightly as he heard her say this. "As if I'd let you go back in there to create more damage. No I have better use for the three of you and hopefully the Grievers will accept a sacrifice or three." Gally said coldly as the Gladers who felt you and Theresa began to tie you to the poles. 

"After all you have done, this is really just a mercy" Gally said. "You've lost it Gally, whatever sense you had. Has truly gone, if you go through with this!" you shouted at him. It was then you saw Winston step forward. "It doesn't feel right, man" Winston said as he stood there. Finally, you thought, someone else who is you is finally getting what you had gotten sometime ago. It was then Jeff joined him. "Yeah, what if Thomas is right?" he said as he looked towards Gally. Gally began to move a little towards the two of them. "Maybe he can lead us home" Jeff said.

Your heart began to beat a little faster, after all you couldn't remember home. But it had to be better than this, anything at that moment was better than the Glade. "We are home" Gally said. It was then you couldn't help but shake your head. "This isn't home, home is where you feel safe and your not running for your life." you said, looking towards him. Gally looked over his shoulder towards you and glared before he looked back towards the other Gladers. He blanked out what you had just said and continued to talk. "I don't wanna have to cross any more names off that wall" he said as he pointed towards it. You didn't want to see anyone else died either but you know remaining there was as good as being dead.

It was then Thomas jumped to life, he punched the nearest Glader to him and grabbed his weapon as he did so. He moved protectively before you and Teresa. "We are leaving" he said as Newt and Minho rushed over. They were not alone as others joined them, newt untied you before handing you over a weapon.

"your full of suprises aren't you?" Gally said as Chuck jogged over to the group. Clearly ready with a weapon of his own and a backpack of some form on his back. "You don't have to come with us, but we are leaving" Thomas said as he stood there with his weapon raised "Come with us, staying here is no life" Thomas said. "His right, we need to get out of here or face being hunted every night" you said before looking to Gally for a moment. A few more joined the group, as you began to back into the maze.
