[mssorceressupreme]

hi again i was the one who asked for the last one. ty n i loved it, I actually loved the end ty for that as well!! ALSO SRRY I GOT SHY REQ IT SO IT WAS HALF BAKED so imma req a nice fluff one 😭

so fem!reader is a cold person who always had a mean and stoic look on her face since arriving in the box. after a while of living there, her attitude hasnt changed much, even ridiculing the other boys over small little things like their lingo, but the other gladers took notice that she is MUCH nicer to minho than the others. ofc minho doesn’t notice since hes so busy with the maze. so one bonfire night, reader gets tipsy and drunkenly confesses to minho, which leaves reader flustered upon realizing what she did and minho too since hes shared the same feelings. how it ends is up to you im indecisive lol.

ty in advance!!!

glad I could satisfy ur prompt love 🥰🥰 HAHAHA girl don’t even worry, I love it when u guys send requests!! keep em coming 🥹🫶🏼 also this is such a cute prompt, who doesn’t love Minho honestly 😩🤌🏼

That’s Enough

Pairing: Minho x Reader

Summary: cold and stoic on the outside, you had built a wall to protect yourself. But what happens when that wall is broken one night and you find yourself doing things you never would’ve done before. Things like dancing sensually in front of the gladers, and oh boy, a confession.

Warnings: subtle sexualisation of reader, spice if you squint but not really

——

Life in the glade had made you tougher than you ever were. From the moment you arrived, you decided that the only way to survive was to keep everyone at a distance. Ultimately, you figured that the only way for you to do this was to put in a cold, mean and stoic exterior, and it worked.

To your victory, the boys left you alone, wary of your sharp tongue and icy demeanour. Well, for the most part at least. The gladers still teased you on the odd occasion, but it wasn’t to an extreme extent.

There were only a handful who managed to break through the ice wall you had built. Alby, Newt, and Fry to name a few. Oh, and Minho.

Though you had barely interacted because he was always out in the maze, every time you did, it felt like time had stopped. There was something about him that drew you in, you were like a moth to a flame.

Or perhaps not a flame, he was more like honey? You wanted to taste him, to confide in him, have him be the first person he embraces when he returns from the maze.

You admired him in silence every time he returned from the maze, panting, the way the sunlight reflected on his sweat, giving him a healthy glow. The way he gave orders to other runners, his bravery, authority, the leadership skills he possessed, and not to mention how he was such a gentleman.

But you would never dare admit that aloud, not to anyone. You would take this to your grave with you if you could.

——

“Better not klunk your pants greenie!” Gally teased the new dark haired greenie. He wore a light blue shirt and greyish-green cargos.

The greenie furrowed his brows at Gally, “Stop calling me greenie.”

You paused from helping Newt in the garden and walked over to them. “Remember when you first entered the maze because you wanted to be a runner but ran back out immediately because you klunked your pants, Gally? I do. Let me also remind you that—”

“Alright! I get it,” Gally interjected, “just teasing the greenie that’s all.” He scoffed, raising his hands in the air while he dispersed.

You turned to the newbie, “I’m sure he has a decent side. Give him time.”

The greenie stood still, “Thanks.”

“Ignore his use of slang, some terms are pretty weird, took a while to get use to them myself.” You confessed.

“Like?”

“Lately, Gally’s been obsessed with using ‘klunk’, just means poop. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it in no time.”

He listened intensely, trying to grasp how life in the glade worked. You explained a few more terms before deciding it was time to get back to work.

As you were about to return to the other track-hoes, the greenie called out, “Wait-uh, what’s your name?”

“Y/N.”

“Thomas,” he introduced himself, “Good to know there’s someone with a brain around here.”

The both of you shared a moment of laughter, before you saw caught a glimpse of the runners returning from their daily exploration. Your gaze softened, there he was, Minho.

Your eyes followed him until they disappeared, heading to the runners hut. You inhaled, “I should get back to work.”

“How can I be of help?” Thomas asked, ready to take on any task.

“Oh, no no, you should rest up Thomas. It’s bonfire night tonight, we throw a celebration for the greenie each month, this month that’s you. Last month it was me, the month before it was Chuck, and next month it’ll be someone else.”

He nodded slowly, “I see.”

“See you tonight then, greenie.” You teased, both of you sharing another moment of laughter. From then, you knew that Thomas would be another glader who managed to get past your wall.

——

It was a rare night of celebration, a bonfire crackling in the centre of the glade, casting a warm luminary light and shadows.

You sat with Newt, Alby, Frypan, and Thomas, a cup of homemade brew in your hand. You weren’t much of a drinker but tonight you felt the need to let loose a little.

The alcohol loosened your usual defences, and you found yourself laughing and joking with more gladers, a far cry from your typical aloof self.

Across the bonfire, Minho mingled with the other runners, including Ben. You stole glances at him, feeling a flutter in your chest every time you saw his face illuminated by the firelight.

“You should talk to him.” Newt encouraged, leaning over.

You shook your head, “He doesn’t see me as anything! I don’t like him that way…plus we barely interact.”

“You’re kidding, it’s so obvious. Everyone knows that you have a soft spot for him.”

Your cheeks began to heat up, “Whatever Newt.” You brush him off and he shrugs in defeat.

As the night progressed, you had more, and more, and more to drink. It made you bold, you were laughing louder, throwing more jokes around, being unintentionally physical with other gladers—touching their shoulder while laughing or throwing occasional light punches.

“Come on, let’s not sit down all day! My butt’s getting numb!” You ushered the boys to stand up and let loose.

Everything was a blur but you cherished every second of it, you saw a tall and wide stump from a tree the builders had just cut down. Feeling daring, you stood on the stump and began dancing sensually.

You closed your eyes and cheered, getting lost in the moment. “Come dance with me!”

The boys stood by the stump, cheering you on and whistling. Obviously enjoying this newly unveiled side of you, and not to mentioned some of them got turned on by the way you moved.

“WOOOHOO!!!” You cheered, practically shrieking but everyone joined in. This might have been the most entertaining bonfire for them.

You felt powerful, free from the fear that usually kept you guarded. But then you caught sight of Minho, his expression darkening as he watched you.

Brushing it off, you continued indulging in your dance, earning excited roars from the gladers.

Minho gave Ben his drink, and pushed through the crowd towards you. Before you could react, Minho was at your side, lifting you effortlessly and slinging you over his shoulder.

The boys’ cheers turned into laughter and catcalls, but you were too tipsy to care.

“That’s enough,” Minho growled, carrying you toward your hammock. His grip firm and unyielding.

You giggled, finding the whole situation funny. “Minho, you’re so strong,” you teased, your voice flirtatious.

“You’re drunk.” He remarked, still carrying you.

“Put me down now!” You demanded, “I want to continue dancing with the others, pleaseee!”

He sighed, ignoring your request, “No.”

A thought crossed your mind and you smirked, “Are you jealous? Was I having too much fun with other people and not you?”

“What? No!” He retorted, tightening his grip on you.

“You’re mean,” you pouted, “I’ve liked you for so long but you always ignore me. Always out in the maze and never with me.”

He paused for a moment, “You’re drunk Y/N, save your thoughts for later.”

You leaned against him, your fingers tracing patterns on his arm. “Why don’t you love me?”

When he set you down, you stumbled slightly but he caught you, stabilising you and laying you gently on your hammock.

Minho froze, his eyes widening slightly before he continued, “Who said I didn’t?” He response confident while he tucked you in.

“I love you.” You muttered, shutting your eyes as you shifted comfortably into your pillow.

“You love me?”

You nodded, your heartbeat getting heavier and louder as the alcohol-fueled confidence began to wane. You were reverting back to your normal self.

“I do. I always have, Minho. There’s something about you…” you cut yourself off, loosing confidence as you started to gain further consciousness.

He stared at you, eyes scanning your flushed face, to him, it was the sweetest sight in the world, “I didn’t know,” He began, and your heart dropped, “I feel the same way about you.” What?

A rush of emotions surged through you, causing to you to jerk up, “You do?”

He nodded, “I do. I’ve just been so busy with the maze, I never realised….”

Before he could finish, you closed the distance between you, standing up to meet him. You pressed your lips to his in a kiss that was both tender and passionate. Minho’s arms wrapped around you, pulling you closer till your bodies pressed against each other. His lips moved against yours with a fervour that took your breath away.

When you finally broke apart, your breaths mingled in the cool night air. “Stay with me tonight,” you whispered, voice filled with longing.

He guided you towards his hammock, as it was slightly larger, able to fit two people. You snuggled against him, feeling the warmth of his body and the steady beat of his heart.

“I can’t believe I confessed like that,” you murmured, a blush creeping up your cheeks as you nuzzled your face into his chest.

Minho chuckled, the sound vibrating through his chest, “It’s okay,” he stroked your hair gently, “I’m glad you did. I’ve wanted to tell you how I feel for so long.”

“It’s just…I know I come off as tough and aloof, but truth be told…I’m scared…” you confessed.

“Being the only girl must be really hard. I tried to, but I should’ve done more to protect you,” He continued stroking my hair softly, “You’re going to be okay Y/N, I’m sure of it.”

“I’ve been keeping my distance for so long, trying to protect myself, but…I don’t want to do that anymore. Not with you.” You made your new intentions known.

Minho’s arms tightened around you, “You don’t have to anymore. I’ll keep you safe.” He hummed.

You looked up at him, eyes shining as the moonlight casted a perfect ray over the two of you, “I love you, Minho.”

“I love you too,” he whispered, before planting a kiss on my forehead, “And I promise, I’ll always be here for you.”

As you drifted off to sleep in Minho’s arms, the fear and loneliness that had haunted you since arriving in the glade melted away. For the first time, you felt truly at home, knowing that you were loved and cherished by one person who mattered most.

The bonfire’s glow and buzz from the other gladers softened in the distance, a warm reminder of the night that had changed everything.

[wooahaes]

ok lets talk wips!!!

from the ask that i answered a couple days ago:

soulmate aus that i was almost done with [completed!!!! a win for me!!!!]

like a box of chocolates [both svt and skz] - working title, not set in stone. similar to the flower fics i wrote for svt + trsr back in the day where they all have some kind of trope associated with each kind of chocolate.

bodyswap aus for skz + svt. [woozi for svt, lee know for skz]. - admittedly my plans are on pause because i never came up with group names for the fake idol groups i made up for each. basically soulmate au where they end up swapping bodies until they fall in love with the added complicated layer of both being in a small idol group.

i won't run away [lee know] - fem!reader follow-up to i can't run away [vernon fic] where reader moves on.

keep it simple, stupid! [paboracha] - paboracha are all mutually pining with their respective readers and the rest of skz makes a bet on who will realize its mutual the soonest and confess (or get confessed to). minho's in love with his roommate, hyunjin's in love with his best friend, jisung is in love with his study partner for class.

childhood friends -> lovers [seungmin] - a much more recent idea for seungmin in the same vein as when i grow up where it's snapshots of the two growing up together and falling in love. very much 'one falls first, the other falls harder.'

shadow [UtS poly ending] - the poly au that has some more story to it, imo? more emotional topics and some angst. everyone is in love with everyone.

vague summer svt fic? [full group] - not to be released rn if i go for it, but i'm open to tossing ideas around for some summer-themed fics. might include skz (and if anyone's interested/i feel up to writing them, trsr) as well? it'd most likely be a july release just to give myself time to write all the fics and i'd probably give myself some sort of hard limit on how many words they can be.

ok these next few are chubby!fem!reader so if i do write them, i think they'll most likely get posted alongside something else since ik its not a widespread audience!!

untitled chubby!fem!reader fic [felix] - originally a smau i'll have to reconfigure in the same way as lhc, basically lhc but for felix. set after the best friends -> lovers jisung fic that i wanna rewrite! felix deals with the aftermath of a broken heart and ends up befriending reader who he falls for quickly bc she's cute n sunshine-y. very much lonely hearts club but i'll be removing the social media aspect from it.

chubby!fem!reader fake dating au [seokmin] - college au. reader has never dated before and asks seokmin if he'll go on a date or two with her just to help her get over the scary 'first time going on a date' feelings. he turns her down because fucking up is kind of part of the experience, but ends up agreeing to it after he lies and says he's dating reader to get someone who won't take no for an answer off his back. they agree to fake date until after reader's cousin's wedding... and u kno the drill w fake dating!! these bitches start falling for each other!!!

chubby!fem!reader sculptor/muse [woozi] - jihoon is a grad school art student who needs to diversify his portfolio a Lot (man just keeps sculpting his best friend bc he offered to model for him). soonyoung goes 'i know someone' and gets reader in to be jihoon's new model and oops they start catching feelings for each other over time. also has mentions of past mingyu/reader.

i am like 90% sure theres more because i KNOW i had fics planned around on//ew's (censored to keep out of search results, hopefully) album circle (some of which have initial drafts that i wanna rewrite) and an au built veeeeery loosely around the case 143 mv but i wanna workshop both of those more before i mention em any further.

[cinhomi]

SLAY WE STAN A GIRLIE IN A BOMB OUTFIT TYPING OUT A FIC (power move!! just don't do it too often) hope you're feeling better today and didn't get a cold or anything! getting drenched in the rain (dancing in the rain?) is somehow a very romanticized thing until you actually do it 💀soggy socks are the bane of my existence when it rains 😩 (hope your day today was better than yesterday!!)

I told some of my irl friends about this and they were pretty indignant on my behalf as well. I agree with what you said. he says that he's gonna be there with me in spirit but...wow, thanks? I'm just roasting him about it now but he keeps on saying affectionate shit which is kinda unconvincing because dude...you are literally leaving.

on a happier note, have you heard the new stage video on leave 👀 their vocals are HEAVENLY in this one!!

also today i saw someone post a pic of their tiny pilot skzoos in a glass box and my first thought was skzoo in a jar and I deserve to go into hell for that one IM SORRY SKZOO I LOVE YOU I SWEAR

- titracha nonnie :P https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy1IMzHv1QQ/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I do feel better, thank you! but today was messy and frustrating since I just realized I'm kinda overworked 🤪 hope you're doing better than me, fr...

I'm sorry that he's acting like that, I can't say much more since I don't know the situation nor the person but I'll leave a pic for you here to use as a reminder

don't know where you're from but I'll translate anyway, for anyone who reads this ask,, it says "Minho wouldn't treat me like this" ー hope it will help in the future because it honestly does for me, it flashes in front of me whenever someone doesn't treat me like I think I deserveー lol

and no actually! I didn't want to spoil myself any song, I honestly don't know why they performed them BEFORE the cb... I have few things to say about that but I'm actually too tired to elaborate. I believe you tho, their vocals improve every time I hear them 🩷

NOOOO SKZOO IN A JAR BAUAJZHZQJSKDJ I ACTUALLY LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN I FIRST READ THE ASK QHZUAHXYAHZGA AND THE ART U SENT HELLO???? it reminds me of the dilf Minho I wrote about liddies are so so so hot and ugh wanna squeeze n bite 'em so bad wanna squeeze n bite Lino in general

PART ONE

After a while of setting up the art room, we’re all in position. Suddenly I hear a scream… Oh Felix… you poor baby.

“Who wants to bet that Felix will faint,” I ask over the radio.

“I’ll bet my lunch he will.”

“I doubt it. He’s paired with Minho.”

“Naaahhh, he’ll most definitely faint or pee his pants… or both.”

From where I am I can somewhat hear Minho trying to calm Felix but I already know it's not working. Ah this might be another long one. After a minute or two, the two enter the room full of clown pictures.

“Oh it's a clown,” I heard Lee Know say. I wanted to burst out laughing right then and there. Of course he would be nonchalant about this.

“I don’t like scary things. I hate It.” Oh I really hope I win this bet.

All I could hear next is Felix panicking and Lee Know making fun of him. Figures. I glanced over and saw the scaredy-cat on the ground. I am genuinely trying to not laugh since I’m just standing by the window, still as a statue. I can’t get enough man. As they, or well Minho, looks for clues to open the lock box they get closer to the cabinets, where there’s someone hiding. Felix is up for a while… until he goes back down because of the firecracker. Maybe I shouldn’t have included them in the design…. Naaaah. They’re fine. Anyway, I hear Minho reassuring Felix and then BANG. The “ghost” jumps out of the cabinet and Felix immediately screams.

“Oh, that was startling, hello,” Lee Know says calmly. I can’t with this man. Did he figure this all out? Or maybe it's just that he’s a soulless man with no real emotions, forever trapped in a void of nothing.. feeling nothing… or he’s just not a coward. Yep, it’s most definitely the last one. But no more of wondering because it’s my time to shine again. As Felix starts to calm down, I stomp towards them (more like a waddle though) and see the fear in Felix’s face. He screams and is back on the floor, passed out and scarred for life. YES I WON THE BET. I slow down and walk away with a straight face. Once out of the room, I let a bit of my laugh out and went to a window to continue to watch the show.

“Ah I can’t do this,” MAN UP FELIX. See this is what he gets for being a Tik Tok whore.

After a while they finally notice a box in the room. The box is filled with slime, fake bugs, and the passcode. I was hoping that Minho got this room. I know he hates bugs so I hope I actually got him this time…. But alas I did not. Even through his heart attack, he went and got their clue from the slime. I- I’m so disappointed. WHY IS THIS MAN HARD TO SCARE. I’ve been trying over the past few months to figure out how to scare Minho and I’ve got nothing. I mean sure he was startled a few times but I wanna see this man in fear! He’s put others in fear and I think it's payback. And I mean it’s only right for a best friend to scare the shit out of their bestie.

They eventually got the puzzle and went out of the room and down the stairs. Ah… I’ll get 'em next time. At least we got Felix. To be honest, it probably was the easiest.

The next to come to the second floor is Han and I.N. Ahh this one will be quick I bet. As they come up the stairs, I hear Han laugh. WHA- see now, I knew it. Of course he wouldn’t take this seriously. This time I’m hidden with a camera man. I see the two idiots in the window and Han starts to point out the cameras.

“There’s a cameraman here and another one here,” and he keeps going. What is wrong with him? You know what… we’re not inviting him to stuff like this anymore. He’s done. Banned. No more.

They enter the music room and I.N. goes to read the instructions.

“I can’t play the recorder.” I- I’m about to quit.

They go to look for the recorders for a while until Han stops to look at the camera. I swear if he-

“This might be live. Say hello to the camera. Hello~.” The two pinheads wave to the camera and bow to the other. THEY EVEN DID INTRODUCTIONS… I CANNOT! My fight or flight mode has been engaged and it's fully on fight mode.

“Alright Jeff, it’s time to step in.” HOPELESS I SAY, HOPELESS!

They sit down and start making random noises with the instruments. After this… I’m putting my two weeks in. Matter of fact one week. I knew they weren’t going to play the songs given to them so I just scribbled “Just play any song you know”and gave it to the ghost teacher.

“Does anyone have painkillers on them… or a bat to put me out of my misery,” I ask on the radio but all I get back are laughs. How dare they laugh at my pain?? I walk away for a second to get some water and relax. I walk back to hear Han and I.N. putting in the code to the lockbox.

“We should never play detective games.”

“We’d fail.” Yeah no shit!

After a good struggle, Han forced the box open and got the third puzzle piece. And now it's Hyunjin and Seungmin’s turn. We went outside to the last stage of the night and made sure it was ready to go before the boys were sent out. I decided to kick it with the crew who monitored what was being recorded. I watch as one of the staff members takes away their flashlights and Seungmin jumps yelling hey multiple times. I massage my temple and start to chuckle. These guys are… a handful. We continue to watch as they enter the dormitory. Next thing I know… THEY TURN ON THE FUCKING LIGHTS. ARE YOU SERIOUS? I swear… if I could I would hurt each and every one of these boys, even if the oldest one is literally my age. The lights were finally back off and the two went to do their puzzle. I decided to have a little fun with this one. Their mission is DALGONA! I would like to give full credit to Squid Game as I was watching this while coming up with tasks. I already know they’re going to fail but I like seeing them fail.. humbles them real quick. And just in case, I made a backup mission for them to do. We watched them converse for a bit and as I expected, Hyunjin breaks his dalgona. HA! I knew he’d be the first to break it.

As I turn away, I hear Hyunjin start singing the penalty song. Now why the fuck… you know what.. whatever makes them happy. The staff gives them their new mission and they successfully complete it. They get the puzzle piece and make their way back to the rest of the members. Ah, I’m not fully satisfied… I know just what to do. I leave the room and wait a bit from the front entrance. I wait for the boys to get the code for the lock and see them make their way towards freedom. I walk around the corner and see them all scream. And best of all I see Han literally flying away in fear. Ahhh.. just what I wanted to see.

————————

Once the game is finished, the guys start to get ready to leave. But we do have something extra to do.

“Hey Hyunjin!”

“Yeah y/n?”

“I left my snack in the art room. Can you go get it for me?”

“You left what where? A snack?” And he laughs in my face. I get it I mean it was last minute… but he shall regret laughing in my face…. He shall indeed.

“Can’t I just buy you one?”

“Jin, just go get it!”

“PLEASE,” and he starts to throw a mini tantrum.

“JINNIIEEEEE PLEASEEEE,” I out-yelled him.

“Ahhhh. Do I go alone?”

“Just go,” I say while pushing him toward the stairs.

“Y/n please go with me,” Hyunjin tried to drag me along with him.

“I caaan’t I have to help pack!”

“PLEASSEE”

“NOOOOO”

“Ah fine.” He gives up and stops at the bottom of the stairs.

“I don’t think I can go alone,” is all I hear before I run to the room where the boys were when they monitored the others. I sat in a chair and enjoyed the show. Hyun went up the stairs with confidence… until the doll scared him.

“AH HA HA AHHHH AHHHH” He screams. We all laugh at his misery. It’s cruel but you just can’t help but laugh. He tries again and goes up the stairs, loud as he can be. He starts screaming and runs back down the stairs.

“Wait wait wait wait wait wait” He runs all the way back to the room everyone is in all hysterical.

“I’m really scared. Y/n please come with me PLEASE!”

“Hyunjin bestie! Stop being a little baby bitch and get it. I promise, nothing will happen!”

Hyunjin pouts and goes out of the room. He goes back to the stairs screaming. After some time and hyping up he calms down and heads to the art room. I.N., Felix, Chan, and Seungmin join me and watch the “scary”staff members torture Hyunjin.

“Was this your idea,” Chan asks me.

“Of course it was. Actually this whole thing was!”

Felix looked at me with murder in his eyes. “Why would you think of such a thing?!”

“Oh you’re fine Felix. You’re alive!”

“Tsk, barely.”

We look back to see Hyunjin fall down screaming as someone scared him. We all laughed at it. It’s funny that the more scared ones are laughing at Hyunjin…. Hmmm thinking. Hyunjin continues to look for my snack and knocks something down, which was a que for someone to come out of the cabinets. Honestly that was probably the highest I’ve seen him jump in a while. We all die laughing as Hyunjin slowly loses his mind. Ah I kind of feel bad for doing this to him but it’s just too good.

Hyunjin finally gets to the box with the slime and snack in it. He pulls it out and looks at it in disgust.

“Ah so disgusting.” Sounds familiar…. Anyway he starts to run out of the room and every ghost staff member comes to scare him. I’m sure he saw his life flash before his eyes. Also was that Han on the stairs? Before I could point it out, I see Chan standing and clapping, a distant scream coming closer to the room. Hyunjin falls in and tries to calm his racing heart. I get up and try to go over to him and not laugh in his face.

“THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!”

I laugh a bit and go to hug him on the floor but he starts to push me away.

“Y/n I love you but NEVER MAKE ME DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!”

“I’M SORRY BUT IT'S FOR THE VIEWS!”

“BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?”

“…the views though,” I whispered.

Before he could say something, Han came over. He explained how he was waiting on the stairs layed out. I KNEW IT! That idiot.

“I hate you guys.”

Ah, this may have been stressful but it’s worth it. Maybe I should do another scary themed SKZ Code again. Hmmmmm.

Maze Runner Masterlist

Warning: Spoilers obviously. This is based on the first movie. I don't know why you're reading this is you haven't seen the movie, but yeah, that's the warning.

You woke up gasping for breath in the cage. You felt the grate making indents in your palms. You were moving quickly and you were shaking. When the box came to a jarring stop you collapsed to the ground. Your eyes were wide and you couldn't remember your name. You couldn't remember anything.

You heard metal moving and looked up to see metal doors opening above the box. You shakily stood up, pushing the metal up and climbing out. The doors slammed back down as you looked around. You flinched, and looked around. You saw walls surrounding a large field. There were some trees but nothing much.

You looked below you at the boxes that were inside the grate. You opened the doors and went back inside. You dug through the few boxes. There was maybe one change of clothes and food. Seeds, and water. You looked up trying to figure this all out. It made no sense to you. Where were you? Why were you here? Why were you alone? Who were you?

You opened the last box, finding just more seeds. But in the middle there was a book. You froze, confused.

"The Lord of the Flies"

You opened the cover up to see handwriting.

I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you. Trust me.

-Thomas

You froze. It felt wrong to have this. It must have been hidden for a reason, right? You definitely weren't supposed to have this. You looked up, putting the book back down and covering it up. You brought all the boxes out of the grate and thought about going back inside. Maybe it would go back down. But what if it didn't?

You closed the grate doors and soon the metal doors followed. You quickly scrambled back. The sun was dimming when you looked up.

You looked around at the walls surrounding you. You saw an opening and ran over. You hesitantly walked inside. You could take two different ways.

You found ivy covered walls and started climbing. But it was getting dark and you slipped. You landed on your back and groaned. It was high enough to really hurt you, but it still made you sore. You started walking back to the field and saw the opening when a loud groaning sound came from the walls. You froze for a second and when the walls started to close you broke into a sprint. The walls started to close around you. Just after you slipped out, the doors closed. You fell onto the ground. You let out a breath, rolling over and laying on your back.

"Nothing bad, huh?" You say to yourself. You lick your lips, and after a few minutes you stood up, you traced your hand over the small crack that went up the wall. You saw a small hole in the wall and walked over to it. You traced your hand over it, and tried to look inside. You recognized the plastic feeling and knit your brows. You pressed your ear to it and heard a mechanic movement. You quickly took a step back when the walls made noise again. You were confused. And it was getting cold. You bit your lip and walked over to the small wooded area.

You collected a bit of wood, and leaves, and a couple rocks. You walked to a sandy bit and let out a breath. You sat down, barely managing to light the fire. Keeping it up was another story. You stayed awake that night. You were completely exhausted, but when the sun rose you heard the walls moving again.

You walked over to the walls opening and soon enough, you were walking inside. You recognized that the walls only opened when the sun was out. You tried to go back to the ivy wall but couldn't find it. It was like the walls had been shuffled. You somehow manage to find another ivy wall and start climbing. You make it to the top of a short wall, only for others to be taller. You let out a frustrated breath.

"Damnit!" You yell, crouching down and your head falls back against one to the taller walls. You close your eyes for a minute, just trying to remember something. Anything. Then it comes to you. Your name. "Y/N." You smile slightly and stand up. "Yes!" Maybe it just took time to remember things. Everything would come back eventually. That gave you a little bit of hope. You looked over and saw another wall not to far away. You started running and managed to catch yourself on the wall. You climbed up on the slightly higher wall. You looked around. Your could see a couple rows of walls, but one thing was very clear. It was a maze. And it would be hard to figure it out.

You looked around frustratedly. You jump back over after a little while and climb back down the ivy.

It took a month. But you hadn't remembered anything else. You had a sort of shelter built for yourself. But nothing good. Most of the time your were in the maze. And at night you'd read the book. Over and over again. You tried planting the seeds, and they were slowly growing but it wasn't your best spot.

Just as you were about to go into the maze you heard the box again. Your eyes widened and you ran over. You watched the doors slide open and you quickly opened the grate. You saw more boxes and a terrified looking boy. He had darker skin, and short hair. You jumped into the box, looking at him.

"Who are you? Where am I?" He asks. You shrug.

"I don't really have a name for the place. But I'm Y/N." He stares at you and scrambles up. You grab a box and quickly climb out of the grate.

"I-I don't know my name," he says. You look at him and think for a second.

"I didn't either. But it came to me. So, it'll probably come to you, too," you say. He swallows and looks at the boxes. He grabs a couple and climbs out.

"What do you know?" He asks. You nod towards the opening of the maze.

"We're stuck here. I've been trying to find a way out for a month. But the maze changes every night," you say. He stares at you as you walk towards the small crappy shelter you have built.

"You've been here for a month?" He asks. You nod.

"Yeah. I have. You're the first person I've seen," you admit. He puts the boxes down and follows you as you go to grab more boxes.

"So... we're alone here?" He asks. You nod, pulling more boxes out of the grate. He points to it. "Why don't we just ride back?" He asks. I look at it.

"I don't know. I haven't tried. The last time it came up, I was in it. So, I guess it only comes up with new people in it," you say. He scoffs and hops back in. He pulls the boxes out and you pull them to the side.

"Close it. Lets try." You think for a second before closing the metal doors and stepping back. This time it doesn't close up. It stays put. You sigh.

"It won't work. It goes back down instantly," you say. He sighs as you open the grate back up. He climbs back out.

"So, who put us here?" He asks. You shrug.

"No clue. But at least now I know I'm not alone," you say, nudging his shoulder and grabbing a box. He looked like he was thinking but grabbed a couple boxes and followed.

Alby. His name is Alby. It came to him that night. He worked on the shelters. They got a little better. Better than what you made. He went into the maze with you a few times, but also helped with the garden.

A month later, a more skinny boy with fair hair came up with the box. There was more supplies this time. You later found out his name was Newt. Then the boy named Minho came up. He was faster than the other boys. The two of you were the ones that started going into the maze. Alby started figuring out the shelters and Newt worked on the garden. Then a boy named Gally.

The camp had filled up by now. You and Alby were like co-leaders. You were in the maze half the time, but he filled you in once you got back. Newt helped him out in the glade. If anything happened to the two of you, everyone knew Newt was in charge.

You ran out of the maze with Minho and Ben. You notice Chuck following a guy with dark hair who was approaching the Maze. Ben and Minho keep running but you slow down. Ben acknowledges Chuck and the greenie but doesn't get to deep into conversation. You stop infront of the boy, who was taller than you. He looked at you confusedly.

"Hey, I'm Y/N," you say, extending your hand to him. He shakes your hand suspiciously.

"Y/N?" He asks. You nod. "Uh, I think Alby told me about you," he says. You shrug and nod again.

"Probably, he has to make sure the greenies know who's who when I'm not around." He looks a little confused and you pause for a second. "You must be the new greenie," you say. Chuck nods.

"Yeah, I was just telling him to get away from the maze," Chuck says. You shrug it off and gesture to the maze.

"It's okay to be curious. Just don't get yourself killed, alright, greenie?" You ask, raising an eyebrow at the surprisingly attractive new boy. He knits his eyebrows, looking at the maze.

"Get myself killed?" He asks. You nod slowly.

"Yeah. The doors will close soon, alright. If you got questions, ask 'em. But don't go in the maze, alright?" You say pointedly. He doesn't respond and you tilt your head a little. He nods.

"Did, uh, did you just say maze?" he says. You knew better than anyone that there wasn't a way out of the maze. It was a dead end. You'd run the whole maze with Minho.

"Yeah. I did. Now I hope Chuck explained that you're not allowed to go in there, right?" You ask he glances at Chuck and Chuck shakes his head.

"I didn't really get the chance," Chuck says putting his head down. You ruffle the boys hair and give him a small smile.

"That's alright, Chuck." You turn to the greenie. "Only Runners go in the maze. The rest of you stay out here. We try to figure that out, and you lot keep all of us from dying." He still looked a little confused, and studied your face.

"Yeah, Alby told me the rules," he says. You nod. The boy almost looked familiar but you shook it off.

"Good. You'll do your best to remember them. Or, you're in the pit. Got it?" He just nods. "Right, well, c'mon. Let's get back, yeah?" You say, walking back toawrds camp.

Once you made it back, you took a sip of water but it didn't take long for people to start running toards the doors.

"Don't touch me!" You hear the greenie yell. You quickly start running over to the doors. You were one of the first to make it there.

"Just relax!" Gally says.

"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you people?"

"Just calm down, alright?" Newt says. The boy shakes his head as you stop infront of him.

"No, okay, why won't anyone tell me what's out there?" Thomas exclaims. You, like many of the others put a calming hand out.

"We're just trying to protect you, man," Alby says.

"It's for your own good, Greenie," you say.

"No! Alright, you guys can't just keep me here!" He exclaims.

"Well, we can't let you leave either!" You say. He finally looks at you.

"Why not?!" He yells. You didn't let the guys yell at you. They all knew better. And soon the greenie would too.

"Like I said, I'm not going to let yourself get killed," you say. You were sure you looked annoyed at this point. You'd just gotten back to the glade and then this happens. Just wonderful.

"How would I get myself killed? What's out there?!" Just then, the maze's gears start clicking and you straighten up. The wind blows from inside the maze as the gears start moving.

"What the hell?" You hear the greenie mudder. The doors start sliding shut.

Alby takes a step forward towards the greenie. And Gally walks up to him.

"Next time. I'm going to let you leave," Gally says and starts walking back.

"Like hell you are," you say with a pointed look. He looks at you and you saw his jaw clench. But he just keeps walking back.

Gally x Reader Chapter 27: Lost

Y/N'S POV

I finished dressing and sat at a ridge overlooking the valley. Turning a small black circular stone over in my hand as I was lost in thoughts, I didn't hear Newt approach and sit next to me until he gave me a slight nudge. I looked up at him and he tilted his head slightly as if to ask"Are you okay?". I gave a shrug in reply as Minho and Frypan made their way to the ridge. We sat in silence which seemed given because no one had spoken since the 'revelation'.

There was a crunching of dry grass as Thomas made his way to a rock on my other side and he sat down with a soft sigh.

"I wish Alby could've seen this"Newt said looking out onto the valley.

"And Winston"Frypan nodded.

"And Chuck"Thomas added, clutching the small wood figure that Chuck had given him.

"And Gally" I thought to myself but didn't dare to say out loud.

"He'd be proud of you, you know, Tommy"I told him as he looked at me, nodding.

"Hey Aris!"Frypan shouted down to Aris who was sitting with Harriet and Sonya then upon seeing us, waved back"I kinda like that kid"He said with a smile.

"Yeah still don't trust him though"Minho squinted and muttered as we all chuckled.

"Hey where's Teresa?"Thomas asked.

"She went up there"Newt pointed to where Teresa was standing, staring out into the mountains. Thomas then made his way to her while the rest of us stayed where we were. I saw Newt blow on his hands to try warm them up in the cold wind. Our eyes met and I gave him a shy smile before covering his hands with mine, ignoring the heat I felt in my face.

"Unlike you idjits, I actually choose decent warm clothes with good pockets"He rolled his eyes, his cheeks pink but he didn't move his hands away as we watched nightfall. I was staring out onto the horizon when I noticed two lights which I originally thought were stars, were now getting bigger as well as a deep rumbling noise beginning. I pulled my hands away from Newt's and jumped up.

"_______? What's wrong?"He asked as Minho and Frypan turned to us. I just pointed to the horizon where the two helicopters were fast approaching.

"Shit!"We ran down the ridge just as the helicopters threw their first bomb. Panic ensued as WICKD swat teams landed and began firing tasers at everyone.

"Where's Thomas"Frypan asked as we threw ourselves behind some rusty barrels.

"Harriet! Ammo!"Vince yelled from a truck as he shot at the soldiers.

"Vince! Harriet!"Minho shouted, running towards them, the rest of us following behind"How can we help?"

"You need to cover us!"

"Hey! Do you know how to use this thing?"Vince shoved a gun into Minho's arms who nodded"Cover me! This fifty's our only chance!"Vince prepared his barrel gun as Harriet threw me a rifle and I took position opposite Minho to cover them. We aimed and fired to the best of our abilities. I saw one of the soldiers press something in his hand and I realised with a shiver, it was a shock bomb.

"Look out!"I grabbed Newt but my world went black before I could dive away. I woke up groggily as I was forced into a kneeling position between Minho and Newt. One of the soldiers grabbed my neck and scanned it before calling out "A-3" I saw Janson approach the soldiers and my blood boiled with rage. I was about to get up when I felt Newt grab my hand and violently shake his head.

"Now's not the time, _____"I scowled and slumped down.

"Where's Thomas?"Janson asked, looing around.

"Right here" We all turned to see Thomas being grabbed and brought before Janson who smirked.

"Thomas"Janson's smirk grew as he punched him in the gut, making him double over"Get him in line"He was forced down next to Minho"Okay, bring her in"Janson whispered to one of the men.

"Why didn't you run?"Minho panted to Thomas.

"I'm tired of running"He replied with a shake of his head. We watched as a third helicopter approached, blowing dust into our faces. It touched down and the cargo door opened, revealing the face of a woman who seemed like nothing more than nightmares before to me.

"Is this all of them"She asked Janson with a curt voice.

"Most of them. It'll be enough"He replied. She nodded and told him to start loading us in. As they grabbed people and shoving them into the helicopters, She gestured for Thomas and I to be brought before her.

"Hello Thomas, _______"She glanced at me with disgust before turning back to Thomas who stared at her with repulsion. The soldiers brought Teresa over and at first I felt relief she wasn't dead. This relief changed to anger when Ava pulled her close.

"I'm glad you're safe"

"What the hell"I tried to keep my voice level as Minho, Newt and Frypan stood up in shock.

"Wait, what's going on?"Newt furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"She's with them"Thomas replied, staring hard at her.

"Since when?"Minho turned to Thomas.

"Oh, Teresa's always had an evolved appreciation of the greater good"Janson said"Once we restored her memories, it was only a matter of time"

"I'm sorry"Teresa looked around at all of us as we stared at her in shock and disgust"I had no choice. This is the only way. We have to find a cure"

"She's right. This is all just a means to an end"Ava butted in"Both of you used to understand that"She turned back to Thomas and I"No matter what you think of me, I am not a monster. I am a doctor. I swore an oath to find a cure! No matter the cost"She sighed"I just need more time"

"More blood"Mary replied behind us.

"Hello, Mary. I hoped we'd meet again"Ava said softly"I'm sorry it had to be under these circumstances"

"I'm sorry about a lot of things too. But not this. At least my conscience is clear"Mary shook her head.

"So is mine"Ava said before we heard a gunshot and Mary crumpled to the ground.

"Mary! Mary! Mary!"Vince clutched her as I looked back to see Janson holding the gun that killed her.

"Let's go Janson"Ava turned away.

"Sonya! Aris"Harriet yelled as they were grabbed. A soldier took Thomas who pulled out a detonator and hit in in the face with it.

"Everyone back!"Thomas yelled as we all made a circle around him"Let them go"

"Thomas, put it down"Janson said.

"Let 'em all go!"Thomas yelled.

"You know I can't do that!"Ava shouted.

"Thomas, please stop"Teresa pleaded"I made a deal with them. They promised we'd all be safe. All of us"She nodded at Ava who stared ahead at Thomas.

"And I'm supposed to trust you now?"

"It's true. It was her only condition"Ava explained.

"Shut up!"

"Everything can go back to the way it was. Thomas..."Ava stepped closer"Do you really want all them to die?"Thomas looked back at us.

"Listen to her, Thomas. Think about what you're doing"Janson inched closer. I made my way to Thomas as did Minho, Newt and Frypan, taking our place next to him.

"We're with you, Thomas"I said, keeping the fear and shaking out of my voice. Ava and her people began to step away"Do it Thomas. We're ready"

"We're not going back there"Thomas told Ava"It's the only way"He put his thumb on the detonation button. We all closed our eyes, bracing ourselves when we heard a truck horn blaring. We stared in shock as we saw Jorge shouting manically as he drove towards an empty helicopter, sending it crashing.

"Move!"At once, everyone split and run in all directions. I turned to see a soldier aiming his taser rifle at Thomas, yelling at him to drop his bomb.He pressed the button before throwing it at them as we all got down.

The bomb exploded as Ava was rushed into a helicopter. I was just getting up when I felt someone grab me and turn me over. I looked up to see Janson who punched me in the face before aiming his gun at me and I felt myself freeze as my blood ran cold.

"What a wast-"His sentence was cut off as I saw Newt shoot him in the shoulder. He groaned and aimed his gun at Newt. Just then, another shot was fired, almost hitting his ear, throwing him backwards. I looked up to see Brenda before grabbing onto Newt's hand and bolting away.

"Go on, get outta here!"Minho yelled, covering for us as we ran and ducked behind some cargo boxes. As Minho was reloading, one of the soldiers fired a taser bullet right in his chest. He kneeled over a crate, looking back at us.

"Minho!"Thomas ran towards him but Newt grabbed him back as bullets rained down"Minho!"He scrambled to get him as Minho was pulled away. Jorge dragged Thomas who was screaming and we ran to the ridge for safety, watching as WICKD took Minho away from us.

~THE NEXT MORNING~

We worked the rest of the night, clearing the camp and finding out what exactly our losses were. We worked mostly in silence, a dark heavy silence. I was shifting through boxes looking for more ammo when I heard someone approaching. I looked up to see Newt holding up some pellets.

"I found them scattered around. I don't know if they're worth anything but..."He didn't finish but just held his hand out.

"Thanks"I took them, looking down in my hand and Newt turned to go"Wait, Newt"He looked back as I approached him"Thank you, not just for the bullets, but for saving my life"

"You're welcome, _______. We suffered enough, losing you would have been too much for me to bear"His eyes softened as he wiped some grime off my cheek. I nodded shakily in reponse and looked away "Come on" We made our way to where everyone was seated.

"What do we do now?"Frypan asked.

"Well, we pick up what's left of us"Vince sighed"We stick to the plan. We get you kids to the safe haven"He stood warily"Then we start over, I guess"

"I'm not going with you"Thomas stated as he slung a bag over his shoulder.

"What?"

"I made a promise to Minho. I wouldn't leave him behind. I have to go after him"He replied. I looked at Newt and Frypan as we stood up.

"Hey kid, look around you"Vince gestured"WICKD just kicked our ass. You think about where you're headed"

"I'm not asking anyone to come with me"Thomas shrugged.

"Thomas, listen to me"Newt stepped towards him"I've known Minho for...well as long as I can remember. So if there was any way that we could help him, trust me, I would be up there standing next to you. This, what you're talking about, is impossible"

"More like suicide"Jorge added as he and Brenda came over.

"Maybe"Thomas admitted"But I know what I'm supposed to do now. It's not just about Minho. It's about all of us. It's about everyone WICKD's ever taken, everyone they will take. They'll never stop. They'll never stop so I'm gonna stop them. I'm gonna kill Ava Paige"

"I have to admit, I'd like some revenge"Harriet said.

"Well, that's a good speech kid"Vince sighed"So what's your plan?"We all looked up at Thomas who's eyes flashed.

"We burn it all down"

chapter 12 | never look back

series masterlist 

previous chapter ~ next chapter  

————

“y/n, what’s going on?!” peter urged, standing up; looking at you.

you couldn’t breath. you couldn’t speak. all you could do was point at the two helicopter’s coming your way, as you watched all the happiness and freedom from peter’s face, fade away.

“no, no, no.” he mumbled, eyes wide. the others stood up too, panic rising in all of you.

“w-we’ve gotta warn everyone.” you croaked, unable you think straight.

but, before you could go down, to the hundreds of people living their daily lives, an explosion happened, causing you all to duck down behind a rock. screams was all you could hear, and more explosions, as you crept down the hill. running behind a tent, trying to stay away from wckd’s guards, who were being wired down from the helicopters, you looked around for thomas.

“guys, where’s thomas?” you asked, your eyes looking everywhere for your brother.

vince shouting at harriet interrupted you, as you all rushed over to them.

“how can we help?” peter shouted.

“you need to cover us!” harriet replied, as vince was trying to put ammo into his gun, connected to the truck.

“hey! do you know how to use this thing?” vince asked minho, handing him a rifle. he looked at him, nodding. you were all handed rifles, shooting at wckd’s guards, who were firing electrical bullets at you.

“vince! hurry up there’s too many of them!” newt shouted, while vince was still filling the gun with bullets.

you tried shooting at a guard, but nothing came out, making you sigh in frustration, “i’m out!”

“look out!” peter screamed, as you all saw a electrical bomb head your way. it landed on the car, which you were all sat on, before it exploded, causing you all to pass out, immediately.

————

you woke up, to you being dragged by a guard. eyes wide, you tried to get out of the harsh grasp, but they ended up pushing your roughly to the ground, causing you to be on your knees, in between peter; newt.

“hey, you okay?” peter whispered, moving his hands from behind his back to touch yours, softly. you smiled, nodding slightly.

suddenly, a guard grabbed your hair, yanking your head forward, before scanning your neck, “a-4!”

moving onto peter, he did the same, “a-3!”

“where’s thomas?” janson asked, looking at you all.

“right here.” you heard your brother reply, making you roll your eyes. he could of escaped. guards walked up to him, pushing him towards janson.

“thomas.” janson smiled, before punching him harsh in the stomach. you rushed up, trying to get to janson, but a guard pushed you down onto the floor again, making you grunt.

“get him in line!” janson ordered, as guards lifted thomas up, making him kneel beside minho.

“why didn’t you run?” minho asked, looking at thomas.

“i’m tired of running.” he replied, simply.

suddenly, a berg came flying down, causing you to lift your hands up to cover your eyes, as sand was blown everywhere. the door opened, as guards walked out, surrounding...ava paige?

you glanced at peter, eyes wide. i thought she died.

she walked towards you all, guards still around her, “is this all of them?”

“most of them,” janson replied, “it’ll be enough.”

she nodded, “start loading them in.”

instantly, guards started lifting children up; taking them onto the berg. harriet called after aris and sonya, who were taken. ava turned around, landing her eyes on thomas, before ordering a guard to lift him up, before he was roughly pushed towards her.

“hello, thomas.” she smiled, before turning to the right. suddenly, teresa appeared walking towards her, “i’m glad you’re safe.”

“what the hell?” fry spoke, as you all stood up, walking to thomas’ side.

“teresa?” you questioned, brows furrowed.

“wait, what’s going on?” peter asked, looking at her.

“she’s with them.” thomas answered.

“since when?” minho inquired, looking at thomas.

“oh,” janson started, “teresa’s always had an evolved appreciation of the greater good. once we restored her memories, it was only a matter of time. we hoped it would work for y/n too. but i guess not.”

“i’m sorry,” she mumbled, “i had no choice. this is the only way. we have to find a cure.”

you shook your head, not believing what she was saying.

“she’s right. this is all just a means to an end. you used to understand that, thomas,” ava looked at you, “you too, y/n.”

“no matter what you think of me,” ava carried on, “i’m not a monster. i’m a doctor. i swore an oath to find a cure! no matter the cost. i just need more time.”

“more blood.” mary added, making you all turn to look at her.

“hello, mary. i hoped we’d meet again. i’m sorry it had to be under these circumstances.”

“i’m sorry about a lot of things, too,” she replied, “but not this. at least my conscience is clear.”

“so is mine.”

suddenly, a gun shot rattled through the air, as a gasp left your lips. you looked at mary, your heart dropping, as you saw blood deep through her clothes, making her fall to the floor, dying in seconds.

“mary! mary!” vince shouted, cradling her in his arms.

you looked at ava, before noticing janson with a gun aiming it at mary, before lifting it down to his side.

“come on, janson. load them up.” ava ordered, as her and teresa walked away.

“get back!” thomas shouted, holding a bomb and a device in his hands. what is he doing?

“let ‘em go.”

“thomas, put it down.” janson said, holding his hands up.

“let ‘em all go!” thomas shouted.

“you know i can’t do that!” ava replied.

“thomas, please stop. i made a deal with them. they promised we’d be safe. all of us.” teresa croaked.

“and i’m supposed to trust you now?”

“it’s true. it was her only condition.”

thomas shook his head, “shut up!”

“everything can go back to the way it was. thomas,” she walked forward, making him take a step back, “do you really want all of them to die?”

“listen to her, thomas. think about what you’re doing.” janson added.

you looked at peter, before walking to thomas, with the others following behind.

“we’re with you, thomas.” you whispered, making him look at you.

“don’t.” ava begged.

“do it, thomas.” minho mumbled.

“we’re ready.” newt added.

“we’re not going back there. it’s the only way.” thomas spoke, his voice shaking.

you looked at peter, before placing your head in his chest, closing your eyes as you waited for him to do it, while ava screamed thomas’ name.

suddenly, a vehicle was heard approaching, as you all wipped your head to the side. you smiled, once you saw jorge in the truck, shouting, before knocking a parked helicopter over. people started escaping from wckd, as you all fell on the floor, trying not to be hit by flying blades.

you helped peter up, silently asking him if he was okay, making him nod, as you watched people starting to fight back.

“freeze! drop it kid!” a guard shouted at thomas, gesturing to the bomb still in his hands. he looked down, before throwing, and turning around to start running.

“run! get down!” he shouted.

peter pulled you to the floor, his body protectively on yours, as you felt the ground shake from the explosion just a couple of metres behind you.

“thanks.” you mumbled, as he lifted you up, placing his hands on your cheek, starring into your eyes, to check if you were okay.

“i’m fine. come on.” you smiled, before grabbing a gun; firing at guards. a guard appeared behind you, making your eyes go wide, before they were shot, suddenly. looking in the mountains, you saw brenda with a rifle, making you grin.

you all started to run away, minho telling you to go as he kept on shooting guards.

“minho! come on!” you urged, as he was still shooting. running towards a crate, you all hid behind, shouting at minho to run.

you watched in horror, as a guard shot minho, causing him to fall on some boxes. you stood up, to try and get him to you all, getting out of peter’s grasp, as you ran towards him.

“bloody hell, minho.” you spoke, as you tried to lift him up, before you looked around, noticing that you were surrounded. suddenly, a guard shot at you, causing you to fall on the floor.

you saw minho being lifted, as you felt two hands pick you up too. you tried to fight your way out of the guards grasp, but it was no use, as they had your hands behind your back. it was as time slowed down, as you were being dragged to the berg. dread filled your body, as you were being taken further and further away from everyone. away from peter.

“minho!”

“y/n!”

“no!”

looking up weakly, you saw jorge holding thomas back, who was shouting your’s and minho’s name. fry was in the back, eyes wide, as he tried to keep newt back. looking to the left, you felt your heart drop, at the sight of peter screaming, tears streaming down his face, as he watched his girlfriend being taken away by the hand’s of wckd; struggling to get out of vince’s grasp. you sat down, minho still unconscious by you, as you watched the doors of the berg close, with the last thing you saw, was peter’s distressed eyes, starring back at you.

you looked down, tears falling softly onto your clothes, as you placed your head in your hands. you had your life sorted. you were finally free. you were finally with peter. but, the world decided to break you two apart, just after admitting your feelings to each other.

you looked up, sniffling slightly, as you starred deeply at teresa, hatred filling your bones, “how could you do all this?”

glancing at you, she ignored your question, before looking away.

The Death Cure: Gally - Forgive You in a Heartbeat; Part Three

If case you missed Part One//Part Two... [ tags: @heartache97 ]

Gally shot up in his bed, sweating and puffing anxiously. He looked around the room nervously, waiting for a Crank or a Griever to appear, but nothing lurked in the dark except for the sleeping bodies of Newt, Thomas, Fry, Brenda and Jorge. He swallowed the dryness from his mouth and got up from his bed. He wandered barefoot over to an open balcony of the old building and leant on it, staring out into the city ruins.

    The Last City was lit up blue and white, and he could hear white noise even from where he was, which was far out of sight. Tomorrow night, or technically, that night, they would break into the city and execute phase one of their plan: kidnap Teresa.

    It was the best plan he had to go on, and although Thomas seemed to hate the idea of it, he agreed that it would be the only way to extract their trackers so they could get inside WCKD’s building undetected, and have knowledge on where they kept both Minho and you.

    Maybe the idea of seeing you again kept him from sleeping properly. But he never slept properly, anyway, even in the Glade he would find himself wandering around in the night until he either practically collapsed from exhaustion or you’d comfort him enough for him to fall asleep.

    He missed those night when you would sit next to him, listen to him talk, or you talk to him. When you would hold his hand or touch his face. When he escaped WCKD and found Lawrence, he regretted never kissing you when he had the chance. He always wanted to, but he was never sure if you were only joking around. And he hated the idea of the Creators, or WCKD, watching him.        

    He sighed into the night air. If it were up to him, he’d go in, guns blazing, right now. But he knew that that would be stupid and careless. He just couldn’t stand the thought of you being trapped in there, being used for their experiments. But he knew you were strong, and he knew he’d find you if it was the last thing he ever did.

    “Can’t sleep?” a voice asked sleepily, as a pair of bare feet shuffled onto the balcony. Newt leaned on the railing beside Gally, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He stared out into the ruins with big eyes, now wide from the sight of it all.

    “Mm,” Gally said, looking at the city again. “You?”

    “Haven’t slept a wink since we left that shank place,” he replied, yawning. “Bloody tired though, exhausted, actually.”

    “Yeah,” Gally said, “I know the feeling.”

    “You always walked around the Glade like some kind of insomniac,” Newt remarked, as he pulled up memories of seeing Gally trampling through the grass in the middle of the night.

    “That’s because I was… am an insomniac, Newt,” Gally laughed, shaking his head.

    Newt chuckled, “Right,” he shook his head too, “you bloody know what I mean.” He paused, “Are you thinking about her?”

    Gally sighed. Newt could always tell what was on other people’s minds, he had some kind of talent for it. Maybe he could read minds. That was why Newt got along so well with Alby back in the Glade, during the first days. Gally swallowed, “Yeah, I guess I am. I’m always thinking about her.”

    “You thought she was dead?”

    “When I didn’t see her with you guys, I thought the worst must have happened.”

    Newt nodded, remembering the many nights he spent trying to comfort you. You weren’t as much of an insomniac as Gally, but you had your fair share of sleepless nights, especially in the Scorch, and especially after Gally’s “death”. “She misses you.”

    Gally looked at Newt a moment, his eyes widened a little.

    “Don’t act so surprised,” Newt said, amused, “she followed you ‘round like a bloody puppy back in the Glade, don’t you remember? If she had a tail, it would have wagged every time she saw you,” he laughed.

    Gally laughed too, remembering the first time he saw you in the Box. How he grumbled when you wouldn’t leave him alone. But you persisted with him, talking to him when no one else would bother, learning the kind of person he really was. He remembered how you slowly but surely became friends. He smiled at the memories. Then, all of a sudden, he realized that you would think he was still dead. He frowned, “How was she? Before WCKD got her?”

    Newt twisted his mouth in thought. He stared out at the ruins again, the night breeze shifted his hair a little. “She was a mess… but she’s strong. She just kept going, I guess, like all of us.” Newt breathed out a soft sigh, releasing the pent-up stress from the day. He tugged at his jacket collar and continued speaking, “She told me… after we got out of there, she said that she hated what you did, and she was angry for it, but she could never hate you. She said that if you ever came back, she would forgive you in a heartbeat.”

    Gally looked at Newt for a little while, unsure what to say. He had often wondered what she thought of over what he’d done to Chuck. If it weren’t Grievers or Cranks, it was the death of Chuck he’d dream about. He closed his eyes, briefly, and then nodded. His eyes opened and they stung with emotion, and he swallowed the lump in his throat. “What do you think they’re doing to her? To Minho?”

    Newt’s hands clenched around the railing, “I don’t like to imagine it. But I know that they’re both stronger than anyone I know.”

    “You’re not worried we won’t find them?”

    Newt thought about it for a little while. He took his time to choose his words carefully. “I think we will,” he nodded, “I think we will because… because none of us would leave any of ‘em behind. This isn’t some quick, get in and get out bullshit heist. This is a rescue mission. They’re our friends, and we would do anything for them, right?”

    Gally nodded, firmly, “Right.”

    Newt patted Gally on the back, “Try and get some sleep, I know it’s hard, but we gotta try. Tomorrow’s gonna be a big day.”

                                                            ***

You woke up. The sedation wasn’t as heavy as usual, so it didn’t take you long to regain control over your body and become fully conscious. You weren’t sure how long you had been out, but it must have been a while.

    Your mouth felt incredibly dry, so you took the water bottle they left on your tray and unscrewed the lid before gulping down the cool liquid. You wiped the water from your mouth with your sleeve and glanced out the window through your door. There weren’t as many people walking by as usual, so it must have been much later in the day. Had you been out a whole day?

    You blinked against the harsh light from the corridor. As you peered out the window, down the hall, you squinted. You couldn’t see as many security guards either and it was much quieter.

    You sighed. You went to screw the lid back onto your bottle when you fumbled with the thing and it dropped to the floor. It rolled around on the cool surface and slid under your bed. You knelt onto the cold floor and stuck out an arm to reach underneath your bed, your fingers feeling for the lid.

    Your fingers found something else. A thin, cool, plastic square. You pulled it out from under your bed and inspected it. It was one of the nurse’s I.D cards. You stared at it a little too long and you realized it would unlock your door if you pressed it against the scanner.

    Suddenly, an alarm resounded through the building. You jumped up from the floor, quickly re-screwed the fallen lid back onto the bottle and shoved the I.D card into your bra, under your shirt. You sat down on your bed, your heart beating fast inside your chest. Your eyes darted across the room and then you looked out the window.

    Officers ran by your room without a second thought. They were headed elsewhere in the building. You let out a sigh of relief and quickly stood up from your bed. You waited until all personnel had cleared your hallway and then slid the I.D card over the scanner.

    You jerked the door open once the locked clicked and you peeked your head out from your room. This was your chance, your only chance. You exited your room and let the door shut slowly behind you. You were on edge, but you forced yourself to think clearly.

    You had to get some kind of weapon to defend yourself and possibly threaten with, there was no way you were going to make it out of this building without one, otherwise they’d easily lock you up again by jabbing you with a needle. And, you had to somehow find Minho.

    You followed the hallway where the soldiers had disappeared to. You crept slowly and cautiously, and every now and then, you pressed your back up against the wall and waited for a doctor to pass by. They seemed unphased by the alarm that had rung out through the building only minutes earlier.

    Finally, you reached a corridor with an officer. He was the only one, and he stood just past the door you were to go through. You carefully scanned the I.D again and the door clicked open. You pushed the door all the way.

    You wondered if you should try passing the officer, and just hope he wouldn’t notice that you were a WCKD prisoner, but when you saw him reach for his gun at the sound of the door closing behind you, you jumped at him.

    You grappled with him for the gun he held in his right hand. He slammed you into the opposite wall and you ducked when he aimed his gun and shot at you. Whatever it was, exploded against the wall and sizzled out quickly when it hadn’t hit its target. You ducked again as he shot another time and charged him. Your arms wrapped around his waist as you took him to the floor. He tried grabbing for your arms but missed. You leapt for the gun that had fallen out of his hand and slid across the floor, but you felt his hand clasp around your ankle.

    It happened in slow motion, one minute you were in the air, your arms outstretched for the gun. You felt his fingers wrap around your ankle and yank you back. But it was too late because your fingers had a grip on his gun. As he pulled you across the floor toward him, you turned and aimed the gun at his chest and pulled the trigger.

    Some kind of bullet hit his chest, but it didn’t pierce his skin, instead it snaked out like a spider’s web and electrified the officer until he rolled around on the floor, stunned. You stared at the gun in your hands, you hadn’t seen one like it since escaping WCKD the first time.

    You gulped and turned away from the soldier and ran down the hallway. Your bare feet echoed along the hard floor, almost slipping over a few times. You slowed to a quiet creep when you heard a voice up ahead.

    “Turner!?” an unrecognizable man’s voice echoed, “Turner, you okay back there?”

    You concluded that he was referring to the soldier you just stunned, but you couldn’t fake a man’s voice for the life of you. So, instead, you did the next plausible thing and jumped out from where you were hiding and shot at the man blindly.

    He yelped in surprise and stumbled to the floor, writhing with the electric shock.

    You neared his fallen body, feeling a little sorry for putting him in so much pain. You eyed his outfit briefly, suddenly wondering if it would work as a disguise. Your eyes darted down the hall, you still had a ways to go, and you still had to find Minho, and you were certain you wouldn’t be so lucky every time you stumbled into a WCKD soldier.

    You licked your lips nervously and checked the hallway for any signs of life before hitting the guy hard in the head with the end of your gun. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell unconscious.

    You grabbed his arm and slid him into a storage closet. It was dark inside, but you had to make do, so that no one would notice your presence. You quickly got changed into his uniform, it was a little baggy in some areas, but it would do. It was much better than wandering the hospital in patient scrubs, barefoot. Now you had a helmet to mask your face.

    You left the soldier inside the closet and closed the door behind you, after checking if the hallway was clear. You held your gun close and walked down the corridor, trying to act as if you were supposed to be there. You glanced at the digital bulletin boards as you passed them, hoping to make sense out of the information plastered on them but to no avail. It was a longshot to think they would just display Minho’s whereabouts in any old hallway.

    Then there was a buzz of static and a comm inside your helmet echoed, a voice fizzled and said, “Prisoners spotted on the fifth floor, backup needed now!” There was an echo of yelling in the background and then the audio was cut off.

    Your eyes widened at the suggestion. Prisoners? Your heartbeat climbed in your chest as you picked up speed, running through hallways, passing flashing lights and doctors alike. They didn’t bother to question your appearance.

    You were about to enter into an open elevator when a voice yelled over the mic that they had jumped through the window and landed in the pool, in the main courtyard. You hesitated between the open elevator doors and the stairwell that would lead directly to the courtyard. You turned towards the stairs in a last-minute decision, and rapidly descended them two at a time. Your boots echoed in the empty stairwell and your breath became short with nerves. Surely, the “prisoner” was Minho, it had to be. And if it weren’t, then maybe you could save whoever it was anyway.

    You approached the door and threw it open with a sudden surge of nervous energy. You quickly scanned your surroundings and spotted a group of WCKD soldiers dressed the same as you, heading for the pool in the middle of the courtyard.

    You ran to catch up to them, and they didn’t question your arrival. Their guns were aimed at three people splashing around in the water, broken glass littered the concrete around the pool and still fell from the window above. You glanced up at the smashed window and spotted Janson briefly before he disappeared, probably on his way down.

    You swallowed and looked at the boys. Your heart leapt in your chest when you recognized Thomas, Newt and Minho as they clambered up the side of the pool. Thomas and Newt’s faces were revealed but they were clad in the same uniform you had on. They must have snuck inside the WCKD building in search for you both.

    “Don’t move!” a soldier yelled as he advanced towards them, his gun trained on Thomas.

    You quickly raised your gun to the soldiers. You shot at them without a moment’s more hesitation, in the chest, one-two-three—

    “Stop!” one of the WCKD soldiers yelled before you could shoot him down with the others. He dropped his gun and his arms were raised above his head. “I’m on your side!”

    You hesitated, keeping your aim on his chest still. You breathed heavily under the mask. You glanced at the boys who stood at the edge of the pool, just as confused as you were. You ripped your helmet off and tossed it to the side, and a look of relief passed through the boys’ eyes.

    “Y/N!” they yelled in unison, and quickly climbed up the concrete steps towards you, dripping wet.

    You flashed them a smile, “Miss me?”

    The soldier with his arms above his head in surrender slowly removed his helmet, revealing a pair of blue eyes you thought you’d never see again.

    He eyed you a moment, dropping his helmet to the ground. It clattered over the concrete. “Yes,” he said slowly, in response to your question.

    “Gally…?”

Chapter Four: Alone and Surrounded

        I woke up alone on a small bed. I sat up quickly and looked around. The room was small and made completely of wood. There was an uncomfortable-looking chair next to my bed. The lone door in the room was shut. There were no other people in sight. I almost panicked but, struggling to get my bearings, I took a deep shaky breath and slowly let it out. I don't like being alone, yet I somehow keep managing to find myself in situations like this; scared and alone in some unknown place, with no memory of how I got there. At least I wasn't in a cage this time. 

        I looked over my right shoulder, then my left, even though I knew there was no one else in the room and all that was behind me was a plain wooden wall and the head of the bed frame. I stood up and winced as pain shot through my head. I immediately sat back down. I took a deep breath then stood again, slowly this time, and walked as gently as I could to the wooden door, trying my best to keep the ache at bay, though I was still slightly dizzy. Just as I was about to grab the brass doorknob, it turned. I tensed and took a step backward, feeling my heartbeat quicken a bit as I sway slightly on my feet and wait for the door to open to see who it was. 

        The door swung open, revealing a short boy—though still taller than me—with black hair with some small streaks of grey, which I assumed were caused by stress. We stood there staring at each other wide-eyed in surprise for a moment, neither of us originally expecting the other. He then composed himself and opened his mouth to talk just as another boy entered, tall and skinny but muscular with buzzed black hair and dark eyes. The door creaked as he pulled it shut behind him.

        "You're up!" The tall, dark-skinned boy said, with a slightly high-pitched voice for a boy, "about shucking time!"

        Before I could say a word in response, the door opened yet again, this time for Gally, Newt, and Alby. This is getting ridiculous, I may not like being alone, but this is too many people to have this close to me in so small of a room. Starting to feel a bit claustrophobic, I went back over to the bed and sat down, fidgeting with the sleeve of the black flannel shirt I had been wearing since I came up in the box. 

        I had so many questions, I didn't know what to ask first. I started with the first ones that came to my mind. "Where am I? Why am I here? How long have I been here? How did I even get here?"

        "Whoa, whoa, whoa. One question at a time, shank." Said the short boy with the greying hair. 

        "Marie," I corrected, rolling my eyes. But I was too curious to linger on it; I wanted answers. "What happened? The last thing I remember, I was talking to you," I looked at Newt, "and then..." I trailed off, not knowing where to start.

        "Well?" Gally said, encouraging me to go on.

        "Well, answer my question! What happened?" I retorted.

        "Not sure, really. You were with me, like you said, we were talking, but then you—well, I don't bloody know really, you just kinda passed out." Newt answered.

        "I just passed out? Like that?"

        "Seemed like it, yeah." 

        "Hmm," was all I said in response.

        "Hmm?" repeated Gally. I nodded slowly but said nothing else on the matter.

        After a long pause, I finally broke the silence. "I need to get out of here," I said, standing. 

        "No," said Gally, gently pushing me back down on the bed, "you ain't going nowhere till we find out what's wrong with you."

        "For God's sake, there's nothing wrong with me!" I almost yelled, irritated and wanting to get out of this room. Gally looked slightly hurt but he was obviously trying not to show it. Newt had been standing next to him but took a step back, wide-eyed in shock by my sudden outburst. I took a deep breath and started again, trying to be more calm, "I just passed out; probably from heat exhaustion or something—I don't know—but I'm obviously doing fine now."

        "She's right, there really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with her." The short boy spoke again. 

        This just seemed to piss Gally off even more. "Yeah, Clint, because you have a medical degree and would know." He retorted sarcastically.

        "Maybe not, but Jeff and I are the closest things you do have to doctors. I'm just tryna do my job. And, as far as I can tell, she seems fine." The short boy, Clint, responded. 

        "Fine," said Gally looking to me again, "but you're staying in here for another night."

        "Another night!?" I said, "I was out for the whole night?"

        "That's right," Said the tall African American boy who I assumed was Jeff. "Honestly, though, I'd prefer to sleep in here anyway, if I were you. Comfier and you don't have ta be around a bunch of boys."

        I rolled my eyes but said nothing. I looked around the small room again, not knowing what else to do or say. I yawned. How I could possibly be tired, I don't know, though it was probably out of boredom or grogginess or something more than anything. I wondered what time it was, but it didn't seem like the boys had any way to tell time.

        Then, the door in the corner opened yet again. I groaned out loud this time, annoyed that more and more people kept piling into this tiny room. "Just invite everyone in, why don't you," I said, rolling my eyes again. Minho walked in.

        "Keep rolling your eyes like that and they'll end up stuck in the back of your head," he said. A comment that just made me roll my eyes yet again, resulting in a chuckle from both him and Newt.

        Seeing a watch on Minho's wrist, I asked for the time. To which he answered that it was about Noon. I looked at Gally accusingly. He had been leaning quietly against a wall on the other side of the small room, unmoving and not saying a word since I yelled at him a few minutes ago. 

        "It's Noon and you were going to make me stay in here alone all day?" He rolled his eyes and left the room without answering. Alby followed him.

        "You don't have to be alone," said the Jeff guy.

        "Yeah, I can stay with you," added Newt.

        "And I'll bring you something to eat," said Clint. I looked to Minho and he just smirked, telling me in his own way that there was no way he was doing something for me like that.

        I looked back down to the watch on his wrist. "Why do you have a watch but no one else seems to?" I asked.

        "Only Runners get them," he answered. "We have to know the time to make sure we get back before the doors close."

        "What doors?"

        "The ones to the walls," he said, "y'know, the giant openings in 'em."

        "You're telling me that those walls just close?"

        "That's right," answered Newt, joining in on our conversation. "Every night."

        "How?" I asked.

        "How the Hell are we supposed to know!" Minho chimed in. "The Creators must be smart, to make all of this, they obviously found a way."

        "The Creators?"

        "That's what we call whoever put us in here."

        "Oh, okay," I said, yawning again.

        "We'll let you have some more rest and I'll tell Jeff 'n them to wait on the food till you're ready," said Newt, directing Minho towards the door.

        "Actually, Newt, would you mind maybe staying?" I said before they left.

        "Oh, uh. Yeah, sure," he said, stopping and taking his hand off of Minho, then walking to the door and holding it open for him. 

        "And could you, uh, shut the door, please?"

        "Okay..." He said, shutting the door behind Minho. He came over and sat on the wooden chair next to the bed, and crossed his legs. "What's wrong?" He asked.

        "Oh, nothing," I said, "I'm fine. I just—I—I just wanted someone to talk to" I noticed myself fidgeting with one of the buttons on my shirt and crossed my arms.

        "Oh," he said. "Okay, then, what is it you want to talk about?"

        "Well," I said. "Wait, so that's really all that happened earlier; we were talking and I just... fainted?"

        "Yeah, why?"

        "Well... I guess I had a—kind of like a dream? Or something. I don't know... But, like, it just seemed so—so real." 

        "Okay..." he said, encouraging me to go on. "And what happened?"

        "Well, I don't know. It's—it's hard to explain; I was with you but then..." I tried my hardest to remember exactly what had happened. Newt reached out and grabbed my hand, showing that it was okay and that he understood.

        I closed my eyes, forcing myself to push past the barrier in my mind and remember. I felt a slight breeze and opened my eyes. We were no longer in the small wooden room, but instead, we were outside, surrounded by stone walls covered in vines. Newt looked at me, confused. I shrugged and looked around. Something caught my eye above us and I looked up, seeing someone clinging to the vines on the wall. It was just like my dream, except that it wasn't me up there this time. I nudged Newt and pointed up to the person. I walked slightly closer to the wall to get a better look. 

        Just then, they jumped. I gasped and stepped back, not knowing how to react. Newt was by my side, and I grabbed his arm, scared of what would happen to the person who just jumped. The person fell to the ground with a thump and cried out in pain. I let go of Newt and walked towards the person, only hesitating slightly. 

        "Hey," I said, "Are you okay?" No response, as if they didn't hear me. "What happened? Why were you up there?" Still no answer. I continued to walk to the person. "Are you okay?" I asked again, louder this time. I stopped dead in my tracks when I got close enough to get a good look at the boy. He was laying on the ground in a very uncomfortable-looking position, whimpering, his long blonde hair covering his face. He looked an awful lot like—like... Newt? But... No—no, it couldn't be... Newt was just with me. I looked back to where I left him. He was still there, staring at the boy on the ground, eyes wide. But the boy on the ground looked exactly like him, even with his face being mostly hidden in his hair.

        Suddenly, Alby ran around the corner, running right past me, as if he didn't even see me. "Alby," I said. He didn't respond, didn't even look at me. He walked right up to the boy that had fallen. I followed his lead, standing behind him and looking over his shoulder at the boy. He didn't even seem to notice me standing so close. He leaned down and brushed the hair out of the boy's face. It was Newt! I looked behind me and Newt was still standing there, unmoving. I looked back over Alby's shoulder, confused. Newt was there, too. I closed my eyes, trying to make sense of what was happening, and tried to clear my mind.

Little vampire taemin afraid of werewolves strangely reminds me of how I haaaaated sushi when I was young. Then I grew up and tastes changed and now I love it, but each time I eat it, my family will tease me about how i used to hate it. Taemin becoming best friends with a werewolf gives me those vibez, with onminkey teasing him.

When the doorbell rings the Saturday night after Taemin’s first week of school, Minho is met by the little werewolf boy who lives across the hall.

“Hello Mr. Vampire sir can Taemin come to the park please?” the boy asks, a wide smile on his face and his hands clasped behind his back.

“Sure,” Minho says, smirking. Then he turns around and shouts, “TAEMIN! You have a little friend at the door!”

Taemin comes over slowly, peeking around Minho to see who’s there. When he sees that it’s Lucas, he smiles.

“Me and Mark and Baekhyun and Kai and Taeyong and Ten are gonna play at the park, wanna come?” Lucas asks quickly, bouncing on his feet.

Taemin turns to Minho, staring at him.

“Go on,” Minho says, ushering him closer to the door. “Be back before 4am.”

“Okay,” Taemin says softly, pulling his shoes on and then letting Lucas drag him to the elevator with a loud shout.

“Wanna see how fast a werewolf can really run?” Lucas asks, smirking and flashing his teeth at Taemin as they exit the building.

“Uh-”

“Get on!”

Lucas practically pulls Taemin onto his back, then runs full speed to the park only a couple blocks away.

“Slow down! Slow down!” Taemin squeaks. “Are you crazy?”

Lucas is just cackling wildly, skidding to a stop and then dumping Taemin in the sand box.

“You’re weird,” Taemin whines, standing up and wiping the sand off his clothes.

“I know, you should see my dad, he’s worse.”

Then he’s bouncing towards a jungle gym where Taeyong and Ten are already hanging around. Taemin follows after him, hoping that Kai and Baekhyun show up soon. He’s still not entirely sure what elves can do, and he’s still a bit weary around werewolves. Vampires might still be new to him as well, but at least he’s also one.

“My dad said you and Kai and Baekhyun are all from the same place,” Ten says, hanging upside down from the monkey bars.

“Are we?”

“That’s what he said,” Ten says, nodding his head and crossing his arms over his chest. “You and a bunch’a other new vampires. Said it’s freaky.”

“Oh,” Taemin mumbles. Does that mean they think he’s a freak? Taemin thinks elves are freakier than vampires, personally.

“We’ve never gotten so many new students in our class in one year,” Taeyong insists, swinging next to Ten. “My dad said the freshman high school class as seven new vampires. Just this year!”

“Is that bad?” Taemin asks, watching as Lucas goes to climb up as well. Instead of joining him, he kicks his toe in the grass.

“It means there’s a bad vampire on the loose,” Ten says. “Biting kids. And then leaving them.”

“Biting kids is very frowned upon for vampires,” Taeyong says, nodding his head.

“Werewolves too!” Lucas pipes up.

“Were you bitten?”

“No,” Lucas laughs. “My mom and dad had me. I was born a werewolf. Mark too.”

“Can vampires be born?” Taemin asks.

“Huh,” Lucas hums, turning to the two elves. “I dunno. Do you guys know?”

“Dunno,” the elves echo. Then Taeyong adds, “Maybe.”

“TAEMIN!” Kai shouts, running full speed at him with a baggy held in his hands. Then he holds it out, panting a bit. “Suho said to give these to you. They’re blood lollies.”

“Ew,” the elves whine, gagging. “Gross!”

“We need ‘em!” Kai shouts back at them. “Go eat your grass you dumb elves.”

“I thought we were gonna play?” Lucas whines, falling from the jungle gym. “Where’s Mark?”

“I’ve never had a blood lolly,” Taemin says gently.

“They’re good! These ones are strawberry flavored,” Kai says.

“Suho says they’re good for when we’re playing,” Baekhyun adds, going to the swings. “We got cherry ones too, but they’re at home. And also raspberry and pink lemonade.”

Taemin frowns a bit, still not used to the whole drinking blood thing. But he takes the little baggy and stuffs it in his sweatshirt pocket.

“I BROUGHT A BASKETBALL!” Mark shouts as he runs at them.

“I wanna be team captain!” Lucas shouts.

“Me too!” Baekhyun shouts.

They play basketball for a while, switching up teams every so often. After a couple hours, they climb on the jungle gym or go on the swings. Taemin tries a blood lolly while he sits on top of the monkey bars. It really does taste like strawberry, and it helps him feel a little less sluggish after running around so much.

Lucas walks him home around 3:30am, all of them leaving at the same time because they all have the same curfew.

“Do werewolves gotta stay outta the sun too?” Taemin asks, trying to keep up with Lucas’s longer strides.

“We don’t have’ta, but it’s preferred,” Lucas tells him. “We’re nocturnal. Like real wolves.”

“Oh. Cool.”

Lucas just smiles at him.

When Taemin goes inside, he’s met with the smirking faces of his clan members. Taemin just swipes his bangs out from his eyes and shows them the blood lollies Kai gave him.

“So you’re perfectly happy going to play with a couple werewolves, huh?” Kibum teases him.

“Lucas and Mark are nice!” Taemin insists. “It’s those dumb elves who are mean.”

Minho snorts and mumbles something about dumb elves under his breath, until Jinki elbows him in the ribs.

“Werewolves are usually very nice,” Jinki tells him.

“Can we get some of these?” Taemin asks instead, shoving the blood lollies under Jinki’s chin. “Kai and Baekhyun said they have pink lemonade flavor.”

“I’ll look for them the next time I go shopping,” Jinki says.

Kibum and Minho just keep teasing him about his little werewolf friends. Taemin just calls them annoying and goes to hide his blood lollies in his bedroom.

The Maze Trials: A Gally Fanfiction

Pairing: Gally x Emi(OC)

Summary: Emi, first girl the Glade has seen. Tougher than she looks and more than ready to prove it. Since day one her and Gally have been at each other's throats. Fighting constantly and not just with their words.

(Gally fanfiction which will include smut. It also has an actual story line. Think of it as an AU to the original Maze Runner. It'll mostly follow the main story line with some changes. Mostly focusing on Emi and Gally and their relationship.)

Chapter Nineteen

I don't know exactly how long I was hiding in my room. I had lost track of time as I tucked myself into the bed without bothering to put my clothes back on. It was the sudden knock on my door that finally pulled me away from my thoughts. Gally popped his head in slowly.

"Emi? Can I come in?" He asked gently.

"Yea"

I heard him close the door then walk over to the bed. I scooted backwards so he could sit down on the edge. He stayed silent for a few minutes.

"What's going on?" He asked quietly.

I sighed as I sat up letting the blanket fall off me. Gally noticed my lack of clothing instantly.

"The dream I was trying to tell you about before the box interrupted me. It was about this boy who I called my twin brother. I hadn't seen that boy anywhere in the Glade. It was him Gally." I said quietly hoping Gally wouldn't think I was crazy.

"Who?" His eyebrows scrunched together.

"The greenie, he's the boy from my dream. The one I called my twin brother." I explained.

"That's impossible. You've never even seen him before." Gally grumbled.

"I know! That's what I don't understand. I just know it's definitely him." I turned my head away from my boyfriend.

"We will figure this out Em. Come on, get dressed we have work to do." Gally said only coming off a little tense.

I did as he said climbing out of bed and throwing my clothes back on. I followed him out of the homestead and back into the Glade. We immediately got started on helping the others unload the box. While carrying a few things back toward the homestead I saw Chuck and the greenie walking towards the entrance to the maze. They were a few feet from the opening when Ben and Minho came jogging back inside. I could see the two runners say something to the other two before continuing on to their private hut. The greenie kept walking closer to the opening which made me instantly concerned. The door was about to close. I nudged Gally with my arm and nodded to them.

Gally dropped what was in his hands and took off running towards them. I quickly did the same dropping my load to the ground then running as fast as I could behind Gally. I watched ahead of me as Gally harshly shoved the greenie to the ground.

"We gotta stop meeting like this greenie." Gally said to him.

"Get off!" The greenie shouted.

This caused a small ruckus and had all the other gladers running towards them.

"Alright, calm, calm, calm. Relax." Gally said holding his arms out.

The greenie jumped back up to his feet. He turned between Gally and the rest of us.

"What the hell is wrong with you guys?" He questioned in disbelief.

"Just calm down alright?" Newt said running over to him.

"No, I can't. Why won't you tell me what's out there?" The greenie questioned.

"Just trying to protect you man." Alby said sternly.

"It's for your own good." Newt added.

I was stuck staring at the greenie. My brain going back to my dream. He looked exactly the same only older. There was no doubt that this is Thomas. My brother. At least according to the dream.

"You can't keep me here!" The greenie shouted.

"We can't let you leave." Alby said in his authoritative voice.

"Why not?" The greenie questioned harshly.

As if perfectly on cue the sounds from the maze began. The shifting walls in the distance. The harsh and fast wind pushing into the maze as the doors to the maze began to close. Thomas turned around already looking like he had seen the most awful thing. He faced the entrance to the maze as the wind hit him. The doors began to close slowly as he watched in complete amazement and fear. As soon as they closed tight Gally stepped closer to him.

"Next time, I'm gonna let you leave." He said harshly then walked away.

I took one last look at the greenie then jogged to catch up with Gally. We silently gathered what we had thrown on the ground then continued towards the homestead. He was quiet the rest of the time we were working. He only spoke to bark orders at someone.

We had a little bit of time to spare after unloading the box. I pulled Gally into the homestead. I needed to make sure he's okay. He seemed tense. I closed my bedroom door behind us then pushed him to sit on the bed. He didn't argue but also didn't say a word. He just watched as I walked over to him and climbed on his lap to straddle him. I cupped his face in my hands.

"What has you so tense baby?" I asked softly.

"Nothing" he said simply.

I rolled my eyes at his stubbornness. I leaned forward capturing his lips with mine. When he attempted to deepen the kiss I pulled away to nip and kiss along his jawline. I heard a heavy breath come from him making me smile.

"Please tell me baby." I whispered against his neck.

I nipped at the skin below his ear earning a small moan to escape him.

"The greenie" He said in a deeper voice obviously enjoying my assault on his neck.

"What about him?" I asked as I moved to look at him.

My fingers played with the top of his shirt. My nails skimming under the fabric to drag across his skin. His eyes fluttered closed as he focused on what I was doing.

"My girlfriend is dreaming about the damn shank then he thinks he can just do whatever he wants." Gally grumbled threw clenched teeth.

I pulled his shirt off and tossed it to the floor. I stood up long enough to toss my shirt and pants to the floor. In that time Gally had rid himself of his pants as well then laid on the bed. I climbed back on him to straddle him once again. I leaned closer to him capturing his lips once more. His hands grabbed my hips holding on tightly. I broke the kiss to lean away from him. My nails scratching at the skin of his chest.

"If you wanna go with my dream he's my brother so absolutely no worries there." I whispered as I drug my nails down his chest slowly.

I continued down his stomach to the hem of his boxers. He seemed to forget about his worries which was exactly what I wanted him to do. There was no reason for him to be so upset or tense over the greenie.

I moved off of him so I could pull his boxers off and toss them to the floor. His dick was eagerly standing at attention. I smiled knowing I could easily calm his tense mind. I slowly ran my hands up his legs pulling my body slowly behind them until he could feel my hot breath against where he wanted me most.

I glanced up to him to see him eagerly watching me. He had himself propped up on his elbows so he could watch what I was doing. I kept my eyes locked with his as I licked from the bottom of his shaft to his tip. I used my tongue to tease at his tip just licking here and there. His eyes fluttered closed as he let himself fall back on the bed. I continued to tease him only licking around him. His hand tangled into my hair as he grabbed a handful. He pull my head up to look at him.

"Em, please don't tease me." He said in almost a growl.

That's exactly what I wanted him to do. Beg. I took him into my mouth when he let go of my hair. I made sure to take him all. He let out a breathy groan as his tip hit the back of my throat. His hands grabbed my head pulling it back slightly then holding it in place. I knew what he was doing and I was more than okay with letting him work out his tenseness.

He growled as he shoved himself deep into my mouth. His grunts quickly filled the room as he bucked his hips upwards to fuck my mouth. I kept my eyes on his face as I aloud him to do as he pleased to me. His eyes were closed tight. His mouth hung open in a silent moan. He truly was incredibly handsome even when he was doing such a crud act to me.

I knew he was close as his hips slowed but kept their force. I pushed him back into the bed as I took over once again. I used both my hand and mouth to work him. I wanted to make him feel good. I needed to make him feel good.

"Fuck baby" He growled.

I sped up my movements until he tensed letting out a long, deep groan. He came into my mouth as I continued to pump him with my hand. Once he finished I swallowed back all he had given then leaned back up.

"Feel better now?" I asked with a cocky smirk.

He nodded as he laid there trying to catch his breath. I climbed off the bed then grabbed his clothes. I tossed them to him then got myself dressed.

"Come on handsome, we have a bonfire to set up for." I chuckled as I watched him.

His eyes were half closed as he slowly dressed himself. I leaned towards him so close our noses were touching.

"Don't worry, I'm not done with you yet. I plan to finish you off after the bonfire." I said quietly then pressed a quick kiss to his lips.

TMR: The Death Cure/Gally imagine - You Made Me A Promise (Part 2)

AN: I’m so glad that the first part got such a positive response!! Thank you for reading!!

Summary: You and Gally met as rebels against W.C.K.D and now that his old maze friends have returned, you’ll be damned if he thinks he’s leaving you out now.

(PART ONE HERE)

In This part: You’re in this together. Always. If Gally goes into the lions den then so will you. 

Pairing(s): Gally x reader

Word count: 3,902

Warnings: Death cure spoilers. Strong Language. Violence. Fluff.

“So, that’s the plan?” You followed Gally as he strode down the alley.

“It’s the only one we got.” Gally stated. “Everyone has a weakness. Let’s just hope hers is still Thomas.”   

“Alright, well, when do we leave?” Your question made Gally pause, pinching the bridge of his nose before facing you. 

“Are you sure you wanna do this?” He asked with his hand on his hip. 

“What do you mean am I sure?” You furrowed your eyebrows at the boy. “Gally, I’m going no matter what.” 

“(Y/n), we aren’t talking about some mission into the city.” Gally tried to explain but you weren’t about to just sit back and listen to the ‘dangers’ of a trip like this.

“And you don’t think I know that? You don’t think I know what going into WCKD actually means? The consequences? The possibility of not coming back?” You couldn’t help but raise your voice slightly. “Gally, I was here long before you were but there’s no way in hell I’m living here after you. We go together and if something happens then at least I am with you. How many times do I have to explain that?” 

“Maybe you don’t think about what I want.” Gally defended himself. “I don’t want to see you get hurt and I’d rather not see you die either.” 

You didn't know what to say. Gally knew that you’d come with or without a fight so there wasn’t anything else to say. 

Gally sighed and turned to walk away. 

“Be ready by sundown.” He told you. 

You removed Teresa’s hood when they sat her down. Gally and Thomas needed to be in front of her when she saw where she was. 

“Gally?” Teresa stared at the boy with a mixture of confusion and surprise. It was the same look the boys had on their faces when they saw Gally alive. 

“Here's how this is gonna go. We're gonna ask you some questions, and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know. We'll start off simple. Where's Minho?” Gally didn’t bother with the niceties. 

“You guys don't seriously think––” Teresa started before Gally slammed his chair down in front of her, cutting her short. 

“Don't look at him. Why are you looking at him? Look at me.” Gally demanded,   “He's not gonna help you. Now, we know you have Minho in the building. Where?” Gally continued. His dominance and sternness made you smirk. 

“He's with the others in holding. Sublevel three.” Teresa quickly realised there was no point in not giving answers if she wanted to leave. 

“How many others?” Newt asked. 

“Twenty-eight.″ Teresa informed him. Gally looked back at Brenda for a moment. 

“I can make that work.” She shrugged. 

“No. No, you guys don't understand. The whole level's restricted. You can't get in without a thumbprint ID.” Teresa only told you what you already knew. 

“That's why you're gonna come with us.” Thomas spoke up. 

“Well, I don't know. We don't necessarily need her.” Gally climbed off his chair and made his way over to the scalpel on the table. “Right? Not all of her. We just need her finger.”

“Gally, back off.” Thomas warned Gally he wasn’t on board with the threats. 

“What, are you squeamish? I guarantee you she's done a lot worse to Minho.” Gally pointed the scalpel at the girl as he spoke. 

“That's not the plan. Back off.” Thomas stood, taking the knife from Gally’s grip. 

“It won't make a difference. Do whatever you want to me. You still won't get through the front door. The sensors will pick you up the––” 

“––We know. We're tagged. Property of WCKD. You're gonna help us with that, too.” Thomas interrupted Teresa before taking the scalpel over to her. 

Teresa went quiet for a moment. 

“You might as well help them, sweetheart. You kinda owe it to ‘em.” You finally pitched in, fiddling with your small handgun as you spoke. 

“Teresa, please.” Thomas pleaded. 

“Alright.” She nodded. 

Newt wanted to go first then Gally then Fry. Thomas went last. 

You weren’t property of WCKD. You didn’t need her help. 

There are some days you still question how you managed to escape WCKD especially when they went out searching for immune kids. 

“She enjoyed that.” Gally grumbled as the bleeding finally stopped. 

“You probably right.” Fry agreed. 

“It’s not bad, it’ll heal quickly.” You sat behind Gally and ran your thumb over the incision softly. “You okay?” You whispered, you knew that all this was bringing back serious memories of the maze and what happened to him. 

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Gally dismissed your worry as Newt brought over some disguises. 

“Here, see if these fit.” Newt handed Gally some trousers and a holster. 

“And what about me? I don’t think I can pull off the body type of a male guard. I haven't seen a single female security officer in all the time we’ve been observing the building. Not under Janson’s command.” You reminded them that you weren’t just gonna sit around the parking lot and wait.

“We’re gonna see how tight security is on a new doctor. See if we can sneak you around with Teresa.” Gally informed you as he tightened his holster. “New faces walk into that building everyday. It should work if you act calm and look the part.”

“I can do that.” You stated. 

“I know.” Gally winked at you as he stood and moved across the room. 

The way you got into the building was with Gally. You knew you couldn’t pass as a guard for the entire time you were inside the building but if Gally could get you into the garage then you were in the building. 

You met up with Teresa, Thomas and Newt before Teresa unlocked the entry door from the garage to the staircase. 

You immediately stripped off your heavy gear and threw on a lab coat and clipboard. You pushed glasses up your nose just in case anyone did recognise you from previous riots and fights and threw your hair up into a ponytail. 

You stashed the uniform in a crook by the stairs as Gally worked on getting inside the mainframe of the building so that your team back at base could tamper with the surveillance. 

“Alright. Let’s go!” Gally closed the box on the wall before you all headed towards the holding cells. 

Teresa let you in and you stepped back to let the boys with their guns sort out the guards inside. 

You went around with Newt and Thomas and unlocked each pod but there was no sign of Minho. 

Gally broke away to start to break into the vault. 

“Guys, this might take some time.” Gally spoke up as he observed the lock. 

“Shit... He’s not here.” Thomas searched every cell to see if he could possibly be in one of the beds but he wasn’t. “Where is he?” He confronted Teresa. 

“I’ll have to check his status on the computer.” Teresa told him honestly. 

You started to move all the bodies with the kids into one of the holding cells whilst Teresa looked and Gally worked on the vault. You didn’t need those fuckers waking up and adding complications to an already complicated situation.

 “Somebody’s moved him up to the medical wing.” Teresa said as she found his profile. “Thomas, that’s on the other side of the building.”

“Okay. Take me to him, right now.” Thomas moved away from the screen and towards the door. 

“I’m coming with you.” Newt picked up his gun. 

“Newt, no, you’re not. You have to stay here and wait with Gally for the serum.” 

“You can’t do this on your own. Minho comes first remember.” Newt and Thomas argued. 

“Just go. I’ll wait here with Gally, make sure we actually get the serum. You get the boy.” You told the boys as you picked up one of the guards guns. 

“Alright.” Thomas sighed, “Alright.”

“We’ll meet you out back.” Gally added. Thomas nodded, giving in. 

“Okay. Let’s go.” Thomas ushered Teresa towards the door. 

“Hey Greenie!” Gally called back to Thomas before he left. “Good luck.” 

“Alright, everyone settle down. We’re gonna be here a while. Anyone know how to use a gun?” You asked the kids around you. A couple of the boys and a girl put their hands up and you gave them the remaining guns. “Keep an eye out for any security. Don't shoot until I shoot.” You gave them their orders before standing back and watching the surveillance on the large desk computer. 

“I’m in.” Gally called out as the lock broke off. 

“Great! Be quick.” You told him as he went in and filled a bag with the serum. 

“Okay. We need to get out of here.” Gally did as he was told and swiftly did the job. “Stay close to us. Stick together.” He told the kids as he jumped to your side. “You. Guard this with your life.” He picked on one of the kids to look after the bag as you would both need to have your hands free to deal with any one who caught you leaving. 

“Okay?” You asked Gally if he was ready and he nodded. 

“Let’s go!” He shouted as he took off in a sprint. Both of you stayed at the front as you lead the pack to the parking garage. 

You were fortunate enough to not meet any trouble on the way down. 

“Brenda, where are you? We’re here!” Gally used the walkie-talkie to contact her and just as you rounded the corner, a speeding bus came to a halt. 

“Come on! Let’s go!” Brenda opened the window and called everyone in. 

You and Gally ushered the group into the bus. 

“Where’s Thomas?” Brenda asked. 

“I assumed he was with you.” Gally admitted. Brenda was quick to leap off the bus at that news. “Wait, wait. Stay here with the kids.” Gally stopped her. “Wait here, just... I’ll find him.” 

You went to follow him but Gally stopped you. 

“No way. Stay here.” He commanded. 

“Gally––.” You went to argue but Gally wasn’t having any of it. 

“Stay here, (Y/n).” 

You went to open your mouth but before anything could come out he spoke again.  “(Y/n), please just trust me. I have to do this alone. It’s less dangerous for both of us.” 

You growled in frustration before pulling his head down by the collar of his jacket and kissing him. 

“If you don’t make it back—“ You warned him but he already knew the threat.

“—you’ll kick my ass, yeah I know.” He pecked you again before running off. You turned back to Brenda and she pressed her lips into a thin line. 

“Don’t worry. We’re not going anywhere.” She assured you.

After Gally ran off, all you could do was wait. 

“You hear that? Straight ahead.” You suddenly noticed a black SUV pull in. 

“Everyone down!” Brenda looked back at the kids, hushing them as they ducked. 

You tried to stay quiet as you watched the guards walk towards the bus with curiosity and caution.

“I can’t leave without him.” You whispered to Brenda. 

“You can’t stay here, you’ll die. He doesn’t want you dead.” Brenda argued. 

You looked around in desperation before deciding what to do next. 

“I’ll distract them. It’ll give you a head start.” 

“What?” Brenda watched you raise to your feet and leave the bus. 

“Hands where I can see them!” The soldiers commanded. You did what they wanted and made your way slowly towards them.

“Kill her.” One of them muttered to the other as they took hold of you.

“She could be immune. We aren’t allowed to kill the immune.” The soldier retorted to his partner. 

“Then take her upstairs!” Just as the other soldier sent out the order, Brenda put her foot on the gas and sped off. 

“Dammit!” The soldiers cursed. You broke free from the solder holding you and kicked at his shins. He hissed and let one hand drop from his gun, giving you the opportunity to snatch it from him before running as the rest focused on the bus. 

You didn’t managed get out unscathed. One of the soldiers must’ve just managed to get a shot at you before you went out to the streets. His shot got you in the back. 

You crept round the edge of the building to analyse how bad your wound was. 

The bullet was lodged in stopping most of the bleeding. You were thankful that it hadn’t passed right through you and you were thankful it was just your shoulder. 

You removed the lab coat you were wearing and ripped off one of the arms, tying it around your wound to stop any bleeding.

You knew you couldn't enter the building. It’d be crawling with soldiers now that re-enforcements had arrived. You had to get as far away as possible. As much as your body was screaming at you to go back for Gally, it was a suicide mission and Gally was in disguise anyways. 

You knew you had to get to the tunnels, it was your only way. Gally would meet you there once he realised the bus was gone. 

You stared back at the building from a street over and fidgeted on your feet. 

“Don’t die, asshole.” You muttered to Gally. You were praying he was alright. 

With all the vehicles and soldiers around, and your injury, it was going to take you double the time to get back to the tunnels. You would have to stick to the alleys and avoid the main roads as best as you could. 

A few blocks over you had to stop and lean against a wall. You tried to catch your breath as you checked your wound again. There was sirens everywhere which made matters a whole lot worse, it reminded you that there was no where to escape.  

“I’m fucked, Gally.” You looked up at the sky and shook your head. You still had a while to go. 

That’s when you heard the thundering crash. It came from the gates to the city. 

You grabbed the fire escape next to you and climbed up the building to see what it was. Your eyes were met by a flaming hole where the gates used to stand. 

“Shit Lawrence.” You figured who else could it be. You weren’t going to pretend that you didn’t know his real ambition. The city was WCKD now and Lawrence wanted to take down WCKD. 

The chorus of screaming civilians was your cue to get back on the run. 

Gally was with Newt, Thomas and Minho when Thomas called in to Brenda that they weren’t going to make it to the tunnels in time. 

“Thomas, don't worry. I'm coming to you.” Brenda told the boys as she heard the craft fly over her. 

“What are you talking about?” Thomas asked,

“Our ride's here! Just look for us near the tunnels.” Brenda told him. “One last thing, are you with (Y/n)?” 

“No? I thought she was with you?” Thomas tried to stay quiet so that Gally couldn’t hear but it didn’t stop him. 

“What’s the problem? Where’s (Y/n)?” Gally moved away from Newt and snatched the radio out of Thomas’ hand. 

“She jumped off the bus when the soldiers came. She chose to stay. She was captured by WCKD but I swore I saw her beat the guards off of her. I saw her escape.” Brenda tried to tell Gally. 

“We have to go back.” Gally stormed towards the door to the chaos outside when Minho grabbed him. Gally immediately shoved him off. “No, we have to go back!” 

“If she’s escaped then she’s probably on her way to the tunnels now.” Thomas tried to assure Gally. 

“If she escaped we would’ve seen her by now. She would have taken the exact same route as us.” Gally insisted.

“Not unless she’s already there.” Newt said weakly. Gally looked down at the dying boy for a moment before turning and kicking the wall in anger.

“We gotta get out of here now.” He proclaimed. 

Newt was partially right with what he said to Gally. You were ahead of them but little did you both know it was only by a few feet. 

You did your best to dodge the chaos but the explosions were too much. The force of one sent you off your feet and lead to glass and bits of concrete attacking you. You hissed as you protected your face, your lack of jacket meant your skin was very vulnerable.

“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.” You winced as you pulled a shard of glass from your side. It wasn’t large but it meant even more blood loss for you which wasn’t good. 

You were just about ready to give up when you saw the aircraft land up ahead where the tunnels were. You knew it was Brenda and Jorge, it was the only bird in the sky and it wasn’t firing upon the city and in worst case scenario, you’re already dead anyways. 

“Come on. Come on.” You tried to motivate yourself as you stood up. 

You sprinted the best you could with your wounds straight to the train station. 

“(Y/n)!” Brenda called your name as you ran towards them. 

She embraced you, glad to see you made it. The moment was soon interrupted by Teresa’s voice being broadcasted all throughout the city. 

 “Thomas? Can you hear me? I need you to listen to me. I know you have no reason to trust me, but I need you to come back. Thomas, you can save Newt.There's still time for him.There's a reason Brenda isn't sick anymore. It's your blood. Do you understand? She isn't sick because you cured her. She doesn't have to be the only one. All you have to do is come back. And this will all finally be over. Please. Just come back to me. I know you'll do the right––”

The power in the city died before she could say the last word. 

You looked over at Brenda who looked like she couldn’t believe it herself. That’s when you heard Gally. 

You turned at your name to see him climbing the stairs you just did. 

You rushed forward and your bodies collided fiercely in a tight hug. 

Gally pulled away at the notice of the blood soaking your shirt. 

“What happened?” He focused on your shoulder as he span you around. 

“Some asshole got me as I left WCKD.” You explained; still quite out of breath. 

“She needs stitches immediately.” Gally looked towards the others. 

“Here.” Jorge waved you both over but you stopped in your tracks when you saw Brenda, Minho and Gally all running off in the opposite direction. 

“Gally! Gally!” You ran forward to grab him but Jorge and Fry kept you back. 

“You have lost too much blood.” Jorge grunted as he struggled to keep you still. “They’ll be back.”

You let yourself relax as Jorge sat you down inside the craft. He pulled the soaked make-shift bandage away and ripped your t-shirt away. 

You let him remove the bullet before stitching you up. By the time he finished with the stitches on both your shoulder and side and given you a jumper to wear, Brenda, Gally and Minho returned. Without Thomas. Without Newt. 

You stood up to be met with Gally’s embrace. He buried his face into the crook of your neck and held you tightly. You clasped onto his hair and back as you felt him start to cry against your skin. 

“Where’s Thomas and Newt?” Fry asked. 

“Newt’s... Newt didn’t...” Minho kicked the ramp of the ship and let out a scream into the city. 

You suddenly realised why Gally needed that hug there and then. 

“It’s okay.” You whispered, stroking his hair. 

Gally may have seemed like the ‘asshole’ to the group in the maze towards the end of the trials but back at the beginning, him and Newt were good friends. 

“Everyone inside. We need to go get Thomas.” Brenda wiped away her tears as she beckoned everyone inside the ship. 

Gally sat beside you as you settled down in one of the chairs and he held onto your hand with both of his. 

“Circle the building! He’s in there somewhere!” Brenda shouted to Jorge as he piloted the aircraft. 

Everyone moved to the front to lookout for him. 

“I think I got him!” Jorge called back when he searched the rooftop. 

“Yeah, that’s him. Open the hatch!” Brenda ordered, moving to the back to help pull them in. 

You stayed back as you couldn’t lift anyone in with your shoulder. 

You watched as they just managed to pull Thomas in and that’s when you watched as Teresa fall. 

“No...” You gasped and turned away. You heard the heartbreaking cry from Thomas. 

You knew that feeling all too well. 

You didn’t know if there was anywhere left that was safe in the world. 

That was until you boarded a ship along with the rest of the survivors and started a new life on a new shore. 

“You and Gally will have matching scars now, surely?” One of the younger girls smirked as you taught her how to tie a proper knot.

The other girls around you also giggled and wiggled their eyes at you but they were all young so you just rolled your eyes. 

You looked up in the direction of Gally to see him chopping some wood.

All the girls whispered to each other as they all turned to watch him and Minho too. 

Past Gally you saw a shape you hadn't seen leave a bed in a long time. You saw Thomas. 

“Excuse me, girls.” You sprung up and rushed towards Gally, taking his hand as you both made your way to Thomas. 

You watched Thomas take Minho into a hug before the others. 

“Glad to see you pulled through.” You said as he faced you. Thomas nodded before Vince made his presence known to him. 

Vince spent the afternoon showing Thomas around and explaining the journey before the evening rolled in and everyone was gathered for a meeting. 

You sat underneath Gally’s arm, resting your head on his shoulder as Vince addressed the group. 

“We have come a long way together. So many have sacrificed so much to make this place possible.Your friends and your family. So, here's to the ones who couldn't be here. Here's to the friends we lost. This place is for you. It's for all of us. But this, this is for them. So, in your own time in your own way, come make your peace. And welcome to the Safe Haven!” Vince’s speech lead to an eruption of cheers and hollers. 

You kissed Gally, smiling sweetly against his lips. 

“Come on.” Gally lead you down to the rock so that you could write your brother’s name. 

You stepped back and looked at the name in the fire light. Gally wrapped his arms around you and kissed your cheek, handing you a glass of his famous whiskey. 

You wiped away a tear that strayed from your eyes. 

“To a new life.” You lifted your glass as did Gally and you toasted to your new life.

Killer Right Hook

Fandom: The Maze Runner

Requested by: Anon

A/N: I hope you like it, anon! Sorry if it’s short! I haven’t written much TMR so I’m a bit rusty haha. Let me know what you think or if I could fix it up at all!

So excited to have gotten my first request! Keep ‘em coming!

           Y/n woke with a jolt when the floor beneath her began to move. She scrambled back against a wall, starting to hyperventilate.

           Where am I? What is this? How did I get here?!... What’s my name?...

           Y/n looked around frantically but only saw crates and bins laying around in the cage-like box.

           Suddenly, the box she was in came to a stop. Y/n looked up when she heard voices, quickly hiding behind a stack of crates. Creaking was heard and a bright light shone into the box. When y/n’s eyes adjusted, she saw a bunch of figures standing around the opening; Why do they all look like guys?

           Someone opened the grates above y/n and she inched into the corner a little bit more.

           “He must be hiding.”

           “Another scardy-cat.”

           “’Scardy-cat’? What are you, five?”

           “Will someone just go get him already?” a deep voice boomed, making y/n flinch.

           An exaggerated sigh was heard before one of the boys jumped down into the box.

           “Alright, greenie – we get you’re scared or whatever; we’ve all been there. Just come out.” When there was no response, the boy sighed again and walked to each corner, finally finding y/n. without looking at her face, he grabbed her arm and turned to walk away.

           “Don’t!” the girl shouted, quick to pull her arm out of his grip.

           The boy spun around and his eyes widened.

           “You’re a girl?!” he exclaimed.

           “Gally, did you say a girl?!”

           “Is she cute?”

           “Would you shuck-faces shut up?!” the boy – Gally, yelled. He turned back to y/n again. “Ok, come on. We’re wasting time and there’s a lot to do – get out,” he said, grabbing her arm and pulling her out of the corner she stood in.

           “Get off!” she shouted again. This time, she drew her free hand back and punched Gally straight in the face, drawing a string of ‘oooooh’s from the boys outside the box. Gally yelled out in pain and dropped y/n’s arm, giving her the chance to climb out of the box herself. She pushed past the circle of boys surrounding her and ran. All around, she only saw walls, except for one opening on the other side of – wait, where was she?

           Y/n kept running until she tripped over a rut in the ground. She wasted no time in getting back up and going to run again, but a pair of strong arms wrapped around her, lifting her off the ground slightly, and turning her away from the opening.

           The girl struggled against the boy holding her until he set her down, still keeping a hold on one of her arms.

           “Woah woah woah, easy there, tiger. We’re not gonna hurt you, ok? Just calm down, alright?” The boy in front of her held out a cautious hand, trying to calm y/n. He had goten back from running the maze early and saw that her arrival hadn’t gone too well.

           Y/n finally stopped struggling and took a few deep breaths to calm her heart rate. She looked at the boy in front of her and took in his appearance. He was maybe only an inch or two taller than her, tan skin, soft black hair. Something about him made her feel a little at ease for the first time since she woke up in the box.

           The boy saw her relaxing a bit, so relaxed himself.

           “I’m Minho,” he said. “You remember your name, greenie?”

           Y/n frowned and shook her head, looking at the ground sadly.

           “It’s alright. Happened to all of us. It’ll come back to you soon.”

           “Minho, you get her to relax?” the deep voice from earlier asked.

           Y/n jerked her head to the side and saw a slightly older boy with dark skin approaching them. She tensed and Minho sensed this, the other boy also noticed.

           “You wanna give her the tour?” he asked softly.

           Minho nodded and he walked away.

           “Alright, let’s go,” he said, moving his hand from her arm down to her hand, making her blush a bit; but she didn’t pull away.

           “I see you got a killer right hook, greenie,” Minho said, throwing her a small smirk. “The other guys were pretty shocked; I think everyone knows not to mess with you now.”

           Y/n couldn’t help letting out a smirk of her own at his comment before something hit her – stopping in her tracks. “Wait,” she said, furrowing her brow in thought. “Y/n…my name is y/n…” she looked up at Minho and his smirk turned into a soft smile.

           “Pretty name,” he said. “Suits you.”

           Y/n cleared her throat to keep another blush from creeping up. “So…a tour? What is this place?” she said, trying to change the subject.

           Minho smirked and pulled her along. “This way, gorgeous. Welcome to the Glade.”

Gally x Reader Chapter 26: Right arm

~THE GANG HAVE MET WITH BRENDA AND JORGE AND ARE NOW HEADING TO FIND THE OUTPOST IN THE MOUNTAINS~

Y/N'S P.O.V

I stared out of the window, my thoughts drifting back to the party. The last of the drugs were out of my system but the effects were still there.

FLASHBACK

"Newt? Thomas?"I called out, spinning around"Minho? Frypan? Teresa?"Panic began to rise as a lump in my throat, the room is swimming in front of me and the swamp of people made me nauseous "Newt?!" I shouted over the blaring of the music.

"Y/N?"I spun around to see Gally standing in a doorway, the sunlight streaming in around him.

"Gally..."I smiled.

"Hey beautiful"I began to stumble towards him as his arms stretched out towards me, his face shadowed by the sunlight.

"I missed you so much Gally" I reached a hand out to him.

"Come to me _____. I'm waiting for you" As I approached, he began to fade.

"NO! Gally!!!"I ran towards him, tears streaming down my face"Come back!"  I felt my hand grip the railing before being pulled back by someone "Let go of me! Gally, he's waiting!"I struggled in the person's arms as they held me.

"_____! "I turned to see Newt, desperately holding onto me"Snap out of it! Gally's gone!"

"He's...He's gone?"I blinked as I stopped struggling"Gally is gone" I sniffed and felt tears filling my eyes.

"It's alright love"Newt ran his hand through my hair as I sobbed into his chest"It's going to be alright"

FLASHBACK

"_____?"I turned to see Newt staring at me in worry "Everything ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine"I gave him a small smile which he returned. The car came to a stop and we all got out. There was a pile of ransacked vehicles in front of us.

"Well, I guess we're on foot"Jorge said. We made our way through the cars, cautiously. All of a sudden, bullets came flying.

"Take cover!"We hid behind the cars as the bullets pinged past us.

"Hey is everyone okay out there? Thomas questioned as the bullets stopped.

"We're fine" I shouted back.

"Anyone know where those bloody shots came from?" Newt yelled. I saw Thomas peek over before quickly ducking down again as bullet just missed his head.

"What do we do?"I asked.

"Everybody!"Jorge said"Get set to sprint back to the truck! And hold your ears"We were just getting ready when we heard a gun cock behind us,

"I said drop it!" We turned to see 2 masked women holding rifles towards Jorge and Thomas.

"On your feet, let's go"Thomas and George stood up, rasing their arms"Back up"

"Easy"Jorge and Thomas made their way backwards towards Minho, Newt and I as we also raised our arms.

"You three, get up" As we stood huddled, the girl with braids stared at Aris before lowering her rifle"Aris?" She took off her bandanna and Aris stepped forward.

"Oh my god, Harriet?"

"My God. What the hell are you doing here?" She hugged him tightly

"Sonya"Aris hugged the other girl tightly too.

"Aris, you're lucky we didn't shoot your dumb ass" I shrugged at Frypan who looked at me in confusion and mouthed "What?"

"What's happening?"Minho asked.

"We were in the maze together"Aris explained. Harriet whistled before shouting the all clear. We looked around to see several figures in the mountains lower their guns.

"Back it up Joe!"Sonya shouted as she led us through the tunnel "We're taking them to base" We saw loads of heavy military jeeps parked around the entrance.

"Wait, so how did you guys get here?"Aris asked as we walked.

"The Right Arm got us out"I glanced at Thomas before catching up to Harriet.

"Wait, The Right Arm? Do you know where they are?" I questioned.

"Hop in" Harriet opened the door to a jeep in response. I held the door open for Newt and Frypan before following them in. We drove through the desert for 20 minutes for so, all the while my mind was racing with excitement and curiosity. Finally, it seemed we might be getting some answers. Newt seemed to realise the same thing as he squeezed my hand with a nervous smile. I gave him an equally nervous smile back. The car slowed down and we all got out. We stood shocked as we gazed out into the valley where dozens of people were working.

"They've been planning this over a year now" Harriet explained as we made our way down"This is all for us"

"You guys are lucky you found us when you did"Sonya continued"We're moving out at first light" She turned to a guy who hauling some boxes"Where's Vince" The man gestured to some area to the left and we continued in that direction.

"Who's Vince?" I asked.

"He's the one who decides if you get to stay"Harriet replied.

"I thought the Right Arm was supposed to be an army"Minho said, looking around.

"Yeah we were" A shaggy haired bearded man said as he came out of makeshift tent. Clearly this was Vince"This is all that's left of us"He stood in front of us, his hands in his pockets"A lot of good people died getting us this far. Who are they?"He turned to Harriet and Sonya who glanced back at us before responding.

"They're Immunes. Caught 'em coming up the mountain"

"Did you check 'em?"

"I know this guy, Aris"Harriet pointed at him"I trust him"

"Well I don't. Check 'em" Vince shook his head. I heard heavy breathing behind me and as I turned to look, one of the guys stepped closer.

"Hey Boss..."Suddenly Brenda collapsed with a heavy sigh.

"Brenda! Brenda!"Jorge rushed to her side"Brenda talk to me"He held her in his arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"She gasped.

"What's going on with her?" Vince knelt down beside Jorge, his hand on his shoulder.

"I don't know. Brenda. Talk to me"

"What the hell?"Vince muttered as he lowered down Brenda's sock"Crank! We got a Crank!"He yelled, pulling out his gun and pointing it at Brenda.

"No!"Thomas and I jumped in front of Vince as the others were pushed away from Brenda

"Listen, okay?" I pleaded"This just happened, okay? She's not dangerous yet"

"You shouldn't have brought her here!"Vince yelled at us as two guys held the struggling Jorge"We let Cranks in here now, the safe haven doesn't last a week!"By now the entire camp was watching us.

"I understand, okay? I understand. Just listen. Please, okay? I told her that you could help. There's got to be something you can do" Thomas begged Vince.

"Yeah, there is" He said, lowering his gun"I can put her out of her misery"He turned his safety off and aimed again as Jorge screamed.

"Vince that's enough! Let him go."A woman yelled, silencing Jorge and making Vince scowl.

"She's infected, Doc. There's nothing we can do for her"Vince said as she approached.

"No, but they can"The woman smiled upon seeing Thomas and I "Hello _______ and Thomas"We glanced at each other then at the smiling woman who's voice sent goosebumps over my body.

"What?"Everyone turned to look between Thomas, the woman and I.

"You know us?"Thomas asked.

"Interesting"She nodded"Makes sense they'd put you in the maze"She made her way to Brenda"Though I must admit, I was worried they'd kill the two of you after what you did"

"What we did?"I stepped towards her cautiously.

"The first time we spoke, I was talking to _______ who told me she and Thomas couldn't take it anymore, watching their friends die one by one"She looked away at the ground before back at us"The last time we spoke, you gave me the coordinates of every WICKD compound, trial and lab"

"They were our source"Vince said, staring at us in shock.

"We couldn't have pulled all this off without them"She turned back to Brenda and Jorge"Take her to the tent. Get these guys some warm clothes"As they left, my gaze met with Newt who had some emotion I couldn't read in his eyes.

"Thomas, come with me please"The woman reached her hand out"I need some blood from you"Thomas looked back at me and I nodded that I would be okay so he left with her.

"Alright, you guys follow me"
