Maze running (a tmr/ Newt fanfiction

Thomas

Thomas.

Somewhere, deep, deep in my brain, I knew that name.

Thomas.. Thomas.. Where have I heard that shucking name before?!?

** A.N. So I know in the book it took a while for them to explain everything to Thomas, but I don't want to have to write all of it out so I'm just gonna explain it to him now.**

"Welcome, greenie, to the Glade" says Newt, bringing his arms out to Gesture to the Glade. "Who.. Who sent us here? Asks Thomas. Newt and I exchange a glance. "Why don't we sit down?" I tell him.

A long, interrupted explanation later, the three of us are sitting on the grass. "So.. We don't know who sent us here, and everyone lost their memory?" He asks. I nod. I explain to him how I am the only girl to ever set foot in the glade.

"Well then we can't just sit here! We need to get out! Look, there are doors right over there! Why aren't we going right now?" Thomas asks. I sigh.

"Tommy.. Can I call you Tommy?" Says Newt.

He nods.

"Okay.. Tommy, out there.." Newt gestures with a finger "is the bloody maze. No one had EVER survived a night in the maze. There is no way out. Believe me, we've tried" explains My boyfriend.

"Listen, I know it's a lot to process in the first night. Believe me, I would know.. The first day I arrived, I pointed a knife at his throat" I say, gesturing to Newt. He just chuckles. "Yeah, she's a feisty one, watch out for her" warns Newt to Thomas. Thomas laughs. The first time I've seen him do that. "You'll get the tour tomorrow, from either Alby, or me and Bella" says Newt. "I can give tours now?" I ask.

"Well, I think you've bloody earned it. I mean, most of the shanks here cried for at least the first month when they got here. You're a girl, and it hasn't even been a month and you've already made yourself at home" I smile at him. "For now, though, Chuck can show you the basics.. Where you will sleep.. Where you'll eat.. The bathroom..stuff like that" I explain.

"CHUCK!" I yell over to the young boy. He jogs over, and he sees Thomas. "Hey, Greenie" he says before turning to me. "What do you want?" He asks, out of breath from the short run over. "Can you please show Thomas where he'll be sleeping, and show him the kitchen too, please?" I ask. "Uughh, whyyyy?" He complains. "Please?" I add with a sweet smile on my face. "Fine, but only for you, Bel" he says before Gesturing for Thomas to follow him.

I turn to Newt.

"It doesn't seem like any trouble or anything, maybe the creators just decided to switch up when they send up greenies.." I say. "Hopefully" Newt mutters. I rest my head on his shoulder "everything is going to work out in the end" I whisper before kissing him and getting up and walking away.

"I bloody hope so" he says.

Newt and I walk over to where Thomas is eating dinner with Chuck. "Hi, Tom" I say. He looks very shocked. "What, you don't like that name?" I ask. "No, it's just... No, it's fine, you can call me Tom" he says. "Okay" since Thomas and Chuck are sitting across from each other, so I can't sit beside Newt, I take a seat beside Thomas.

Chuck looks up. "Whoa" he says.

"What?" I ask.

"You guys.. You look really similar..... Like not like twins.. But it's creepy" he says.

Newt looks up too. "Oh, yeah... I see it too... Huh.. That's weird."

I change the topic. "Oh yeah, what did you say about the greenie party? You know, the one for me?" I ask to no one in particular. "Well, we usually have it the day before the next greenie is supposed to arrive, at the end of the month, but Thomas got here early, so I guess we can have it tonight for the both of you. "Hey, Greenie!" GALLY calls walking up to our picnic table. Thomas and I both look up, but then I realize I'm not the Greenie anymore. "What do you want, Gally?" I ask, in the harshest tone I could muster up.

"Was I talking to you?" Asks Gally to me. "Slinthead" I mutter and go back to my food.

"Greenie, I've seen you before. In the changing. You better watch yourself" he says to Thomas before walking away.

"That's Gally, he hates Greenies. Don't take it personally" I tell Thomas. "Yeah, he even called Bel ugl-" but Chuck couldn't finish because i kicked him in the shin. "Ow!! Anyway, long story short, Gally is just a klunkhead." Says Chuck. "What does klunk mean?" Asks Thomas. I reply simple with one word "shit" I say. "Oh... What about shank?" He asks. "That one doesn't really have an exact definition, it's just a name we call people. Same with slinthead." Explains Newt. "And shuck most of the time is like a replacement for fuck" I say. Chuck giggles. "What, never heard that word before, Chucky?" I ask.

After we all finish dinner, Newt goes to talk to Alby about the Greenie party and Chuck went to show Thomas where he'll be sleeping. Then I see Minho come out of the Maze into the glade. I run over to him. Once he sees me he smiled and slings his arm over my shoulder (it's not like in a boyfriend way, like in a brotherly way) "hey Bel" he says. "Hey, how was the Maze?" I ask. "Nothing new, same as Always." He says with a shrug. "I met the new Greenie, his name is Thomas... He's really nice" I tell Minho as we walk over to the kitchen to get him some late dinner.

"I think we're having the Greenie party tonight too" I tell him. "Great." He says with a sarcastic tone. "What, you don't like them?" I ask. "No, it's just, it's always the same. We have the fire, Gally fights people and we eat and dance. The same thing over and over."

Newt comes jogging over to us. "The Greenie party is tonight" he says. "Hey minho" Minho nods to greet Newt. "Chuck seems to like hanging around Thomas" I say. "Yeah, it's good he has someone, he's the youngest here.. So it's hard for him to make friends" says Newt.

A couple of hours later, I stand around the unlit fire, holding a lit torch, surrounded by many other Gladers holding the same thing. Alby counts down to one from three and we all throw the torches at the fire. The fire climbs up high to the sky, and then the music starts. I laugh at literally nothing, I was just surprised at how happy I was when I was basically being kept captive by anonymous criminals. I look over to see Newt and Thomas sitting behind a log, so I go and find Minho. He's sitting with Ben, another runner. I sit next to him. "Hi" I say.

"Having fun?" He asks. "Yeah" I say. We don't speak for a while, and I finally say "I'm gonna go get some food from Frypan, want anything?" I ask. He shakes his head. "No thanks, I'm not hungry." He says.

I walk over to Frypan. "Hey Fry" I smile at him. "Hey Bel, what can I get for you?" He says returning the smile. Uhhh... Can I have two plates of bacon and two glasses of water, please?" I ask. "Coming right up" he says. I know Minho said he didn't want anything, but I knew he loves bacon so i got him some.

A couple minutes later, I'm walking back to Minho with the food. When he sees I have two, he says "thanks, but I said I didn't want any?" I give him the plate and water. "I know, but I wanted bacon and I knew if I got it and I came back, you would take Most of mine. So I got you your own." He chuckles. "You know me so well" he starts to eat his bacon.

Alby called everyone to around the fire. He doesn't even need to yell, his voice booms around the glade no problem. "We are here to celebrate the Newbies, Bella and Thomas."

Bella and Thomas. There it was again. another one of my memories trying to push past the wall that the creators put up.

I listen to Alby again. "TO THE GREENIES!" He yells. "TO THE GREENIES!" Everyone repeats and starts cheering. I get a couple of claps on the back and eventually the party dies down and everyone goes to bed.

Once again, I am taking off my boots and changing into one of Newt's big t-shirts that I sleep in. We both get into bed, and he puts his arm around me and I rest my head on his chest. "Night Bel" he says. "Night" I say before drifting off into a deep sleep.

I'm dreaming.

I am sitting in a room with Thomas. And a woman. I realize she is my mother. I am young... Only about 4 or 5. I realize there is a man there. He looks very similar to a rat. He begins to speak. "Let me explain. Your children- they're immune. Both of them. Wicked is connecting Immunes to create a blueprint, to eventually create a cure. If you let us take custody of your children, you will be doing a large part in saving the human race" he says.

I wake up with a gasp. "Newt" I say shaking him awake. "Yeah?" He asks. "I-I know who Thomas is... "

"He's my brother."
