Amnesia// TMR (Thomas)

Chapter 4

Reese's POV

After everyone headed to their hammocks at the Homestead I decided to stay up a little. I couldn't bring myself to go to sleep it's kind of crazy. I look up at the starless sky. The question looming over my brain is how can I fight like that? Before I came here was I something else? Was Thomas someone close to me? I have a lot of questions. Too many questions. After an hour or so I decided to head over to the pit where Newt left me some blankets. I hop down and hope that I can fall asleep.

"Reese" an unfamiliar voice says

"Remember W.C.K.D is good"

I shoot up into a sitting position. I'm breathing heavily. What the hell was that? I look up at the sky through the bars the sun barely rising. I must've slept a few hours. After a dream like that I don't think I'll be falling back asleep anytime soon. I pull myself out of the pit and see Minho getting up as well. I run over to him seeing that I have no one else to talk to.

"Hey Minho, what are ya doing?"

"Oh hey She Bean. I'm getting ready to head into the maze." Minho turns around to face me.

"Okay, and I have a name you know. Reese."

"I know but I like She Bean better, She Bean." Minho teases before he heads off to the entrance of the maze.

Alby walks up to me and gestures for me to follow. We reach the homestead. Alby hovers over Thomas.

"Thomas." Alby says shaking him lightly.

He jumps up as Alby place a hand on his mouth before he can wake anyone else up.

"Follow me." He says as we walk away.

"It's peaceful, isn't it?" Alby says as the birds begin chirping.

"I know it's hard to believe, but it wasn't always this way."

"We had dark days."

"We lost a lot of boys to fear."

"To panic." Alby continues.

"We've come far since then."

"Established order... made peace."

"Yeah. Why are you telling us this?" Thomas asks.

"Because you're not like the others."

"You both are curious."

"But you're one of us now."

"You need to know what that means." Alby says placing a knife in Thomas' hand as he points to the wall covered in names. Some crossed out too.

"What happened to them?" I ask pointing to the crossed out names.

"Like I said... dark days, Reese. Thomas." Alby says looking between the both of us.

Thomas and I both carve our names onto the wall. Right next to each other. I see some of the names crossed out. Wondering how each of them died. As Alby said I'm curious, maybe too curious.

After a while everyone wakes up. Newt tells us that we have to do all the jobs and see which one fits us best. Today, we're working with the Track-Hoes. Newt being one of them.
