Re-play Re-wind Re-do (maze runner fanfic)

4. Training part1.

Thomas P.O.V.

”Hm...that could work”, Minho says

“We can do that...we have to do that because I don’t want you to put you guys through the maze again, I don’t want to be in there, I won’t be able to live through the horrors again and we can stop the flare...”, I gulp at a bit at the word flare, the image of Newt lying on the road, blood streaming out of his head from the gun shot, floods my mind, I can’t let that happen again

“Flare? That disease right?” Chuck asks

“Yeah the disease”

“Well how can we stop a disease, that’s practically unstoppable”, Minho asks

“I read this email that Ava sent to her colleagues, by the way Ava is the one in charge”, I then recited what I remembered from the email to them and they both look at me with shocked looks on their faces,

“What? So they purposely spread the flare so they knew who was immune?” Minho by then looked really ticked off and looks like he is about to punch something, “Lets go eat”, an angry expression on his face. We all just followed him towards the cafeteria and sat to eat

Thomas P.O.V.

We’re sitting down for breakfast at a table near the furthest end of the cafeteria; we brought two of the tables together to make one long table. Sitting at our table is Gally, Minho, Newt, Alby, Chuck, Frypan, Jeff and some other people who I don’t know. Minho is sitting to my right and Chuck to my left, for breakfast we were served scrambled eggs and a whole lot of bacon. The Gladers or “subjects” I hated that name, were going to go to enter the Maze in a week’s time. We all ate in silence and then one by one we set our utensils down when we finished. Waiting until everyone was finished we got all our plates and headed off out of the cafeteria dropping off our plates as we did.

I was about to go to the room to continue working on the Maze when James stopped me in my path by standing there, he had wide broad shoulders and a sharp face, he had dark brown eyes to match his dark hair and his arms were massive.

“Um...could you excuse me please I need to um...get through...to the...room...”, as I was saying that I was trying to find my way around him but he kept blocking me as if he knew my next move. “You ain’t working on the Maze today bud, you’re going to help show the subjects around and help teach them and train them. I don’t know much just the boss told me to tell you this.”

“Sure”, This’ll be interesting, I thought as I turned to go to the room where they were, James following me from behind. I knocked on the door and turned the knob to find it unlocked. I open the door and see everyone getting ready, fixing up their clothes, their hair or some, like Minho, and just laying there on their beds.

“Subjects! Listen up, this is your leader for today, he will be teaching you everything you need to know, and will be training you to survive!” James voice boomed through the room. Some didn’t seem as ecstatic others but Minho and Chuck seemed to be excited. As they all started to come towards the door and line up, I turn around and another WICKED worker is standing in front of me, well two of them, I looked around to see James nowhere in sight. “Hey, we’re gonna be your body guards today, in case any of these”, then pointed at the guys behind me, “cause any trouble and James is watching over your other little buddy working on the Maze”

“Um, okay”, I said quite uncomfortably, they’re going to find out sooner or later, I thought. Then the one on the left, the one who was speaking; he had dark brown hair near black, wide shoulders, he also had a big nose, handed me a piece of paper.

“What’s this for?” I ask confused looking at the piece of folded paper in my hand.

“It’s your map and also tells you what activities you guys will be doing for the whole day”, the same guard said. The other one seemed quiet, he had dark blonde hair and with blue eyes, his eyebrows low, Isn’t he a bit young to be a bodyguard, I thought, he only looked my age, less maybe. I opened the paper and it had a map at the top of the page, and then underneath was time slots and then an activity next to it. The first time slot was from 9:30-10:30, and it said “Intro (this is when Mike and Liam will help introduce WICKED to the subjects and the subjects to you, so you are not required to do much)” Then I remember that I went back in time and none of them remember anything except for Minho and Chuck.

“Okay”, I say clasping my hands stepping out of the doorway to make space for them in front of the room. All standing there in a huddle staring at me confused. “Mike and Liam, you want to just introduce them to what’s going on here?” I asked the guys behind me. Mike stepped forward and starting to speak, his voice booming throughout the hall, “Subjects”, I despise that word immensely, ”today, you will be put into training for a new life, I was required not to tell you too much but this; the world depends on you guys and you guys should be grateful that you’re here and not out there”, he said pointing behind them.

“Our job today is to prep you, get you all ready, so co operate and everything will be smooth, don’t co operate...you’ll regret it”, he said eyeing each and every one of the soon to be Gladers.

“Lets go!” he yelled towards them and then all of us started to head down the hall to a room

“Um, what’s this place?” I asked Liam who was standing there behind me

“Training room”, his voice plain and stern, he didn’t sound like the talkative type. Mike opened the doors towards the room, it was plain and bright, glass room filled the sides and there was a big space in the middle of the room with a training mat. MIke then led Liam and I up some stairs leaving everyone else behind. We ended up in a glass room with monitors and a control desk with buttons and switches everywhere. In the middle of the control desk was a microphone.

“Everyone in the middle now!” Mike yelled through the microphone, "You're turn now", he turned towards me ushering me to come up to the micorphone. Everyone quickly huddled towards there and then I was pushed forwards towards the microphone with the piece of paper that I was given. Awkwardly clearing my throat I leant in and read, “Subjects, this part of the training you will be practicing your combat skills, getting you prepped to survive. Each of you will be placed inside a room and given a task. If you do not complete the task you will not be able to exit the room, no matter what your reasons may be.” I finished speaking and turned to Mike and Liam who were standing there. Liam gave me a nod and I turned back to the page confused. I realised that there was a bit at the bottom that I forgot to read. It had some instructions and I quickly typed the first set into the control desk in front of me and some stands popped up, only displaying 2 types of weapons; knives and spears. “You may now start.”

Minho P.O.V.

 “You may now start”, Thomas’ voice boomed throughout the room. Everyone looked just as confused as I was and soon everyone noticed the stack of weapons in the room and ran towards them, trying to get the best one, even though they all look the same. Being a runner before really helped as I ran in front of the whole pack. I look to the side and saw Newt running beside me with a smirk, I forgot he was a runner once. I reached the stack and got the sharpest looking spear and knife and then ran into a room that I saw was open, in fear of being attacked by everyone else. As I ran in the door locked behind me and Thomas’ voice came through again. “Capture the flag”
