The Truth Behind it All - MAZE RUNNER FAN FIC

Chapter Two

I woke up this morning to Thomas shaking me awake, something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong. I rubbed my eyes and sat up.

'Tommy, what's going on?' I asked as I yawned.

'Look up' he said.

I did as I was told and my eyes met by a gray sky. I blinked in disbelief and rubbed my eyes to see if I was dreaming. I looked up again. Still grey.

'Oh god' I gasped. This was bad.

'Yeah, now get up. We have to get going soon' he said as he slapped me on the back.

I got up and walked to breakfast, I ate Frypan's bacon and eggs on toast before grabbing my pack and stretching. Suddenly Thomas ran up to me.

'What now Tommy? We have to go in a minute' I asked impatiently.

'It's Teresa, she's awake' he gasped.

I looked behind him to see her running towards us. Her face is streaked with tears and there is black ink on her arm. She grabbed Thomas by the hand and dragged him along with her into the forest. I stood there shocked, what the hell just happened? I decided to leave them alone. Whats going on is obviously important and I am not a part of it. I went and talked to Minho while waiting for Thomas to come back to start running. He didn't show up so Minho and I left without him. We ran our usual section, no changes, no changes at all. With the sky turning grey we had hoped something had changed. Nothing. We returned dissapointed and went straight to the map room. We charted our maps carefully before leaving for dinner. We ate in silence when finally Thomas showed up.

'Where have you been?!' Minho shouted at Thomas.

Thomas took a step backwards, obviously hurt by Minhos sudden outburst.

'With Teresa, she and I were....exchanging information shall we say' he said.

He gave me a look as if to say "I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, TAKE THE BLOODY HINT SHUCK FACE"

'Well while you were spending time with coma girl, Minho and I ran the maze. Nothing, no changes at all' I said miserably as I shuffled the food on my plate around with my fork, avoiding eye contact with either of them.

'Oh, I'm sorry' Thomas said.

'Don't worry about it shuck face, just don't let it happen again' Minho said as he got up and left, leaving Thomas and I by ourselves.

'So... What was "exchanged" in your little conversation with coma girl?' I asked.

'First of all, her name is Teresa. Second of all, I can't say it here.' He said as he jerked his head to the left.

I looked where he gestured and saw Frypan cleaning dishes.

'Okay, lets go' I said as we casually walked to the forest
