In The Maze ➸Newt x Reader

"T-Thomas- I-" I stuttered, and within seconds there was a growling yell approaching from the forest. 

"GALLY WHAT-" Thomas pulled my body away from the direction Gally was coming from, shielding me on the grass. 

I heard more yelling as the other gladers approached the commotion. Thomas began screaming as Gally clawed at his back, Thomas thrashing his body in defense. 

"Gally what the fuck! Get off of me!" Thomas grunted, squeezing me tighter between his arms. 

"Get him off of them!"

"Gally!"

"Jesus!"

Within seconds there was a loud Klang, and the sound of a limp body descending to the ground. A shovel had connected with Gally's face, and as soon as he was down, a bunch of the glades pinned his body. 

I wiped my tears on Thomas's shirt as he held me between his legs and arms, peering over his shoulder as the two of us rolled up, sitting. 

Newt was holding the shovel, his toned chest rising and falling heavily as he took deep breaths, staring angrily at the scene in front of him. 

Thomas squeezed me as I sobbed, "Shh it's ok. It's ok," He stroked my hair gently, comforting me. Newt looked over at us, throwing the shovel to the ground angrily before rubbing his bottom lip for a few seconds. I wanted to get up and run to him, but I remained in Thomas's protective cage as I watched Newt walk towards the opposite side of the glade. 

Alby and the others took Gally away, carrying his unconscious body towards the med shack. 

Thomas and I remained sitting for a moment, and he continued to stroke my hair, then down my back, soothing me. My breathing began to stabilize, and I just lied against his body in shock, not quite comprehending the incident that just occurred. 

"You alright?" Thomas asked sincerely, pulling me away from his chest, hands on my shoulders. He smiled gently, taking his thumb and wiping the remaining tears from underneath my eyes. I nodded, and Thomas grabbed the sides of my face, staring at me intensely with his chestnut eyes, "Are you sure?" I stared at his concerned expression, worry lingering in his eyes.

I nodded, hugging him again before beginning to stand up. Thomas stood up before me, offering me a hand which I took gratefully.

"Here, come on, let's go get something to eat," He tugged me towards the kitchens, but I let go of his hand as I hesitated for a moment. "N-no. I want to go see what's going to happen to Gally." I said and took in a shaky breath.

"If that's what you want," He agreed and gently put a protective hand on the small of my back, leading me towards the med shack. When we stepped in, Gally's arms and legs were tied to the bed. He thrashed around helplessly, screams belching from his throat. Next to Gally's bed was Minho, lying fast asleep. Black veins crawling their way around his shirtless torso. 

"Oh my god, Minho... I almost forgot about what happened before I blacked out. What's happening to them? Has Minho not waken up yet?" I couldn't stop staring at the two boys in front of me. 

"They've both been stung, " Alby said with a deep sigh, "I'm assuming that why Gally decided to attack you, and why Thomas was attacked by Minho."

"Wait...Gally's was mid-day too? Just like Minho?" Jeff asked puzzled.

"I guess," Alby shrugged, "I'm just as confused as you are Jeff. Something is going on and I'm no" t sure-" Alby's words were cut off by a familiar metallic clanging that erupted through the glade.

"I know that noise..." I mumbled, looking up at Thomas who looked just as confused as everybody else.

"Yea, so do I," Thomas stated blankly, looking down at me before sprinting out of the shack.

It was the box.

"Well isn't this just a great time for a new greenie to come," Clint said as the five of us ran towards the elevator. Newt was already standing by the box, and I stood quietly next to him as I approached.

Newt turned to face me, "Are you ok Y/N? I'm sorry I left so fast. I- I was angry," Newt sighed, before folding his arms and looking at me.

"Oh," Was all that managed to fall out of my mouth. 

We all stood waiting in anticipation, and once the box reached the top, the metal doors slid open and up fully, and Newt jumped down. Usually Gally would, but certain circumstances prevented it. I looked down, making eye contact with a scared-looking greenie.

He had brown eyes like chocolate, and pitch black hair, like the night sky. I knew who he was.
