CORNERED | TMR Minho X Reader

Chapter 10 - Attack

"Another girl hasn't ever come" She mumbled.

Y/n stepped into the forest and limped onto a thin trail leading through the thickness. Thomas could tell her leg was bothering her a bit more than before and he extended his elbow.

Y/n looked suprised and Thomas worried for a moment that he had done something wrong. But then the girl took his arm gratefully, walking on with less evident pain.

"Whats it like?" Thomas asked.

"Being the only girl? Its not too bad... i barely..." y/n thought for a moment, then said:

"You know it sucks. It really does, man. Shuck i barely slept the first week. And I'm still scared... but Alby understands how i feel, and Minho is always there for me. I got lucky" y/n burst out.

Thomas nodded, feeling sympathy for y/n. He coudn't imagine what it would be like if he was the only boy here with a bunch of girls. And for so long.

"This forest is pretty creepy, but there's this flower patch, i think its pretty" y/n stopped their progress on the trail in a small opening.

She gestured towards the field of yellow flowers in front of them. The lowering sun shone on them with beauty. Thomas gasped a bit, then smiled.

Y/n chuckled, still leaning against Thomas's arm with their elbows linked. Staring at the cluster of yellow flowers gave Thomas some peace to think. He was overwhelmed by the info-dump he had gotten along the tour.

"Ive got one more thing for you. You can carve your name in this spot at the wall" a sad and distant look was in y/n's eyes but she shook it off and turned around.

Thomas did as well but was cut short. Someone was standing there. A tall blonde boy. He looked unwell.

He was sweating and had a green tint to his skin. His eyes were sunken and dark veins peaked out from under his dirty shirt.

The boy was looking straight at Thomas with a terrifying look of anger in his eyes.

*y/n POV*

"Ben?" Y/n was as terrified as Thomas, who was shaking and confused next to her.

Ben paid no attention to her and took a wobbly step towards Thomas. Y/n pushed the greenie behind her protectively and faced Ben with a look of dread.

"Ben you've been stung, we need to take you too the medjacks" y/n remembered what Gally had looked like after he was stung too well.

"You did it, Thomas. I remmeber" Ben seethed.

What was that supposed to mean?

Y/n didn't know what do. If Ben attacked Thomas, which looked very probable at the moment, y/n wouldn't be able to stop him for long.

So she did the thing that seemed the closest to logical. She turned to Thomas slowly.

"Run and get help" y/n gave Thomas a look of pure trust.

He sprung to action, ripping his way thruogh the forest. Y/n grabbed Ben and tried to tackle him down before he could leap after Thomas but Ben simply pushed her to the ground and ran off.

Y/n screamed with frustration, gathering herself and running after Ben. Her disabled leg dragged at the ground behind her and she tried to ignore the pain.

Ben was fast. He was their second best runner after Minho, but he was also injured. Disoriented and sickly. So y/n began to catch up.

She could hear Thomas shouting for help, already out of the forest. Other boys shouts joined and y/n let out a breath of relief.

Then she was in the Glade on the beutifully green grass. Ben stumbled and she nearly slammed right into him. Y/n fell to her knees beside the boy, seeing his pale face and growing worried. She had her hand on his back, searching for the sting wound.

Clint and Jeff would be here at any moment. They would help Ben. Thomas was safe.

But before y/n could collapse onto the grass and catch her breath, Ben suddenly grabbed her by the shoulders and threw her to the ground.

Y/n slammed onto the grass. Pain sparked in her head and seared thruogh her eyes. She could barely tell what was happening. It was all whizzing by too fast.

Blackness was taking over y/n's brain and she felt hands on her throat. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Minho and Thomas running over.

Y/n struggled for breath but the pain in her head was what brought her down to unconcioussness. The last thing she new was Newt swinging a shovel at Ben's head and the pressure on her throat disappearing.

A/n: Thank you for reading!
