The Glader: Newt x OC

Into The Maze:

"And when the griever get what they came here for everything goes back to the way it was."

"Are you listening to this?" Teresa stated in disbelief. "Why are you all just standing there? He's crazy!"

"Will you shut up?"

"The grievers are going to come back. They're going to keep coming back until you're all dead!"

"Shut up!" Gally yelled. "Tie him up!" He pointed to Thomas who was lying on the ground. I looked over at Zoe. Go time.

"You hear me? I said tie him up!" Gally snapped.

       As the two boys lifted Thomas he sprung into action. Thomas nailed one in the stomach and grabbed the boy's spear. He knocked the other out with the pole. I slammed the butt end of my machete into the guy in front of me neck. He fell to the ground. I smiled in pride as Zoe right hooked the guy who ran up to her. Daniel tackled a boy that ran for chuck. He punched the boy twice in the face. Frypan cut Teresa loose as Minho held Gally at knife point. Chuck ran and stood with Thomas. We all huddled together on the other side of the poles. Winston looked at me from where he still stood.

~Zoe~

Minho held his knife at Gally's neck and walked around so he was on our side. 

Gally scowled, "Full of surprises aren't you?"

"You could say that," I replied. "Maybe some of us are sick of tyranny."

"You don't have to come with us but we are leaving," Thomas held his spear pointed at Gally. "Does anyone else want to come? Now is your last chance."

I looked at Winston.

"Don't listen to him he's just trying to scare you," Gally informed.

"I'm not trying to scare you. You're already scared. Alright? I'm scared. But I'd rather risk my life out there than spend the rest of it in here."

I stepped forward. Daniel tried to pull my back but I brushed his hand away. "Gally, come on. We could finally be free. We could start a new glade out there where it's safe. You're not safe here, you never were. But out there? We could protect each other without the creators interfering." I tried to sound comforting.

"We don't belong here," Thomas's hands shook. "This place isn't our home. We were put here. Okay, we were trapped here. At least out there we have a choice. We can make it out of here. I know that."

"Gally please?" I pleaded. Gally looked at me for a moment as if he was pondering what I suggested. His eyes hardened again.

Winston and jeff walked over to our side. Three more boys, Nick, Johnny, and Walter, joined us.

"Gally, It's over."

"Just come with us," Thomas begged Gally.

Gally nodded, "Good luck against the grievers." He looked over at me, "You don't belong with those shanks."

Newt grabbed my hand and we ran into the maze after our other friends. I looked back over my shoulder before I jogged around the corner. Gally was still staring at me. I smiled and ran after Newt.

           We all ran behind Thomas, Minho, and Molly through the maze. The air was electric with anticipation. We were finally getting out of this place. We were getting a shot at a normal life. We rested briefly by an ivy covered wall. I was exhausted already. The sun was hot overhead and it made me a little lightheaded. I blamed my fatigue on my pregnancy.

"Hey love you alright?" Newt put his hand on my shoulder. I turned around and smiled, "Yeah. Just thinking."

He hugged me. I hugged him back and rested against him for a moment. Newt passed me a jar of water. I kissed his cheek and sipped some of the liquid. We started running again. 

                  We ran through 1. Passed through 2, ran past 3 and kept going.

"Keep it up guys! We're almost there," Thomas encouraged.

He ran over to a corner and stood with his back again it. We all stood behind him. Thomas peered around the corner and exhaled. In the distance I heard a scraping noise.

"Is there a griever?" Chuck added.

"Oh crud," Molly breathed beside me.

Minho passed the key to Chuck, "Take this chuck. Stay behind us."

Little Chuck looked panicked. Teresa put her messy hair up in a ponytail, "It's okay. Stay with me."

Thomas instructed us on what to do. "Once we are through it will activate. The door will open. We stay close, we stick together. Okay? We get through this. We get out now!"

I nodded.

"Or we die trying."

I put my hand on my stomach. Daniel looked down at it and then up at me. His eyes widened slightly. Danny cocked his head as if asking something. I nodded. He knew. My brother stepped in front of me.

Thomas slammed his spear's end into the hard ground, "Ready?"

We all pulled out our weapons.

"Let's do this," I said.

"Let's go!" Thomas yelled. We all charged after him.
