Fear Is Your Enemy (The Maze Runner FanFic: Thomas x Reader)

Minor Setback

Y/n ran to find Thomas and Brenda, and eventually found them, Brenda looking through draws to find something.

"What are you guys doing?!" She yelled. Thomas looked in surprise,

"I told you to go! What are you doing here?!"

"Like hell I'm leaving without you!"

"Guys now is not the time- shit!" She looked behind the couple, to see WICKED soldiers... armed WICKED soldiers. Brenda took out her gun and shot at them, but missed and they started to fire back.

The three of them ran, trying to find a way out while having the agents on their tail. Brenda was in front, leading the way and Thomas was running hand in hand with Y/n.

They ran down some stairs and soon realised they were surrounded by WICKED. Brenda yelled to them to follow her across a very dodgy looking piece of scaffold. Thomas looked back, wanting to find another way, but more agents came down.

"Come on Thomas!" Y/n encourages. Thomas caves in, a starts waking on the very thin piece of metal like a ripe rope tightrope. Thomas went before Y/n, so when he lost his balance, she was there to grab his shoulders.

They got across to the near end, then a WICKED agent cocked his gun from behind Y/n. Thomas's eyes widened,

"Brenda, where are we going?!" He yelled as she lifted herself onto a stable platform.

"Hurry! The songs almost over!" She said. But before Y/n could get on after Thomas, large explosions went off just as the song ended.

This made Y/n loose her balance and slip off.

"Y/n!!"

She screamed in fear as she fell, but then felt a hand grab her arm... it was Brenda.

"I've got you, kid." She said, and with Thomas's help, lifted her to safety. Thomas grabbed her tightly, his heart still racing.

But this didn't last long, because the whole building started to collapse. Poles fell down and electrical cables snapped, making the room light up and show its rapid pace.

They ran and jumped down an elevator shaft, using the wires to slide down on. They hit the bottom, and was almost crushed by s huge pile of rubble, but moved just in time.

Unfortunately, that shaft was the only source of light and now the rubble and debris blocked it. Leaving them in pitch black darkness.

Brenda shone a light, coughing from all of the dust, seeing where they were,

"You guys okay?"

"Oh yeah, great." Thomas replied sarcastically, still coughing repeatedly.

"How are we gonna get back to the others?" Y/n asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. I'm gonna get us out of here." Brenda reassured, passing them both a flashlight.

"Why are you helping us?" Thomas asked.

"Trust me, it's not my idea. Jorge seems to think your a ticket to the safe haven." She explained.

"The what?"

"You know... paradise? Safe from the sun and infection. The Right Arm has supposedly been taking kids there." She said, getting up.

"And you know where that is?" Y/n asked, helping Thomas up.

"No, but Jorge knows a guy, Marcus. He used to smuggle kids into the mountains, If Jorge made it out, that's where your friends would be." Brenda explained, removing pieces of wood from what looked like a vent in the ground.
