(Newt x Reader) // (Minho x Reader)
What if you would find yourself in the Glade?
What if all of the sudden two boys are head over heels for you?
Everyone expected another boy to arrive with the box, but to their surprise they were greeted by a girl...
However, this time you just watched, as it was useless. Clearly Gally was now in charge of the glade and even though he had confessed, that he had also remembered, his allies still listened to him like dumb circus dogs. Gally then turned back to you and lifted your chin, which forced you to look at him. "Don't touch her, you slinthead! I swear I'll break each and every single bone in your freaking body!" Minho screamed and struggled even more, but he was still not able to break free. And if looks could kill, Gally would lie drop dead on the floor by now, caused by the glares of Newt.
"I just want her to listen to me" Gally claimed and looked at Newt and Minho, you glared up at him. "Y/n, you need to confess that you're also of the opinion that everything fell apart as soon as Thomas and that other girl entered the Glade, I've heard your monologues often enough. They will be banished by tomorrow and if all of you still try to deny the truth, your precious Y/n will be banished with them - got that?" he asked and looked around your friends. He then finally let go of your chin and walked away with his allies towards the remains of the Homestead. As his allies let go of Newt and Minho, Newt pushed them away.
You wiped your chin and took a deep breath, you felt powerless. "Has he hurt you?" asked Newt as he came close to you and eyes your face carefully. You had missed how his looks felt on your skin, after the incident with Minho he had barely looked at you - understandably. You nodded, letting go of your chin and looking at him. "If he did I'll return the favor" Minho said, referring to Gally hurting you. You looked at him and instantly recognized that he was serious, Minho looked like he was about to beat someone up.
"Why haven't you told me about you remembering?" Hank asked and you felt how your face turned red out of guilt and embarrassment. "I didn't know how, I also don't know how to word what I saw" the second half was kind of a lie, but you weren't ready to tell him that he was the only thing you clearly remembered. "And as I said: It is pretty useless" you finished. "The greater question is what we are going to do anyway" Winston stated and you mentally thanked him that he prevented the others from asking any more questions. Frypan nodded "I think we need to wait until Thomas wakes up and hope that he has some answers for us, other than that, our hands are tied" he said and everyone looked at him, lost.
Thomas opened his eyes. "Hey are you okay?" Teresa asked, Thomas just nodded and slowly sad up in the pit. You were standing outside the pit alongside Newt, Minho, Chuck and Hank, looking down at him. "What happened?" he questioned, his voice was raspy and his forehead covered in sweat. "Gally has taken over" Chuck explained, "There was nothing we could do" Newt added. "Well, he was not so wrong after all" Thomas stated and you raised your eyebrows, "What are you talking about, Tommy?" you asked in disbelief, Thomas couldn't be bad, it was just not possible. You knew him, he was your friend.
"The maze is a prison. A test. It all started when we were just kids, they've put us through these challenges, they experimented on us and then everyone of us started to disappear, every month. It is a system" Thomas explained and your mouth went dry. An experiment? You and all of your friends had just been test subjects? Like labor rats, every kind of humanness was prohibited. "They were sending them up into the maze" Newt realized and you gulped. Having someone say it out loud made you feel like you were about to throw up. Everything that had been said made you sick.

"Yeah, but not all of us" Thomas added, "What do you mean?" Minho asked and you looked into the faces of each one. "The people who put you here, I worked with them. I am one of them. I was always on the other side, watching you guys in here" Thomas then looked at Teresa "And so were you." he stated and Teresa shook her head, she looked like she was about to cry and so were you.
Because you suddenly realized something: You also weren't supposed to be here, you followed him. The puzzle pieces finally seemed to reveal a picture. You indeed also were a test subject, but you originally weren't meant to go into the maze, but you did, because of him. Everything seemed to make sense and lose its sense at the same time. You took a deep breath to calm down your nerves, trying to hide the fact that you had just found out the answer to something you have been asking yourself all along your stay in the maze.
"But why would they send us up if we were with them?" Teresa asked Thomas, which interrupted your train of thought. "It doesn't matter." Thomas replied, he looked and sounded defeated. "That's right it doesn't matter. Everything before the maze doesn't exist anymore, they took care of it. What matters is the here and now. You two went into the maze and you found a way out. More we do not need to know right now" Newt said in a determined voice, a new energy seemed to fill his bloodstream, a new hope.
"We need to finish what you started. Cause if we do nothing Alby died without a reason, and I can't have that" the boy finished and Thomas slowly nodded "Okay. But we need to get through Gally first".
Everything felt surreal. You were so close to exiting the maze, so close to something all of you had worked for, so close to a wish finally coming true. You would never again wake up in the maze. You would leave the glade, everything you had ever known behind and taste freedom for the first time in your month old new life. You could be with him. You could tell him everything. You would no longer be hypnotized. Your heart lit up in hope at the thought of the sweet blessing you were about to receive. The only and last obstacle you needed to overcome, was one out of your own lines
