《Love at First Fight》A Living Nightmare

(Y/n)'s POV

I begin running up with Chuck "What the hell's going on out there?" Newt asks Thomas and Minho as they come forward "what the hell have you done now, Thomas," Gally asks immediately going on the defensive. I try not to look over at him as he speaks "We found something, a new passage. We think it might be a way out," Thomas says causing real hope to spark in me for the first time.

"It's true, we opened a door, something I've never seen before. I think it might be where the grievers go during the day," Minho adds backing Thomas's claim up. Chuck jogs up beside Thomas "Wait, Woah, you're saying you found the grievers home, and you want us to go in?" Chuck asks bringing up a good point. "Their way in could be our way out Chuck," Thomas points out and I begin to weigh the pros and cons in my head.

"Yeah, or there could be a dozen of grievers on the other side. Truth is, Thomas doesn't know what he's done, as usual," Gally says getting up in Thomas's face as he says it "well at least I did something, Gally. What have you done, besides hide behind these walls all the time," Thomas asks angrily. "Let me tell you something, Greenie. You've been here for three days. I've been here for three years!" Gally tells him trying to use Greenie as an insult. "Yeah you've been here for three years, and guess what you're still here Gally. So what does that tell you, that maybe you should start doing something a little differently," Thomas continues to argue with Gally.

"Maybe you should be in charge? What about that Thomas? Turn everyone against me, turn (Y/n)-" Gally is cut off "Hey! It's Alby, he's awake," Teresa interrupts drawing us all out of the argument. I stare at Gally longer than I like to admit as we walk to the medjack hut. Does he really think I'm against him? I'm not against him I want us together out of the Gad forsaken place. "I'm not against you," I tell him before entering the Medjack hut, and he stares at me for a long moment while we stand before we turn our attention to Alby.

"Alby are you alright?" Newt asks a shaken-up Alby who doesn't meet anyone's eyes. He looks haunted "hey, Alby," Thomas says looking for a reply "Alby, we might have just found a way out of the maze. Do you hear me? We could be getting out," Thomas tells him after a long moment of silence. Alby shakes his head softly he was a shell of who he was before and it hurt for me to see him like this. "We can't, we can't leave, they won't let us," Alby says still staring off into the distance.

Who were they? "What are you talking about?" Thomas asks "I remember," Alby says causing all of us to exchange troubled glances with each other at the thought of regaining our memories. What we do to have them back? I wondered to myself, "What do you remember?" Thomas asks and Alby finally turns to look at Thomas. "You, you were always their favorite Thomas. Always, why did you do this? Why did you come here?" Alby asks Thomas as a tear slips down his cheek, and I start to hear shouts and screams from outside.

Alby begins to cry and we all turn our attention away to the sounds from outside. "Winston! What's going on?" I call out looking to Winston "it's the doors, they're not closing," he tells us before running off and my heart sinks as fear cloaks over me. Everyone begins to run off towards the maze doors except for me and Gally. I grab his hand fear coarsing through me to strong to remember what we were fighting about.

We meet up with everyone else but Gally puts himself in front of me protectively. We hear a loud cry before the second door opens, then the third, and then the fourth. "Gally," I whisper barely audible "we've got to hide," I say and at first I don't think he hears me until he begins instructing the others and runs with my hand intangle with his. "Grievers!" I hear shouted over the glade. I was terrified, more terrified then I ever remember being. Gally, me, Jake, and Ryan find ourselves at the box and Gally opens the doors "go, go, go!" he says ushering us in as quickly as possible.

As soon as Gally pulls the metal grate closed Kyle runs over"Gally! Let me in, let me in!" he shouts, and as Gally tries to open the grate Kyle is snatched before out eyes. "Kyle!" I shout and fall to my knees I feel Gally hold me, but nothing can soothe me right now. Not while I can hear screams of my friends dying out there, and although I know nothing can get us in the box I can't even attempt to close my eyes for sleep.

I stay with my eyes wide up and have a living nightmare, more terrifying then anything I'ver ever dreamt. As silence finally falls over the glade Gally stands "I'm going to find Thomas, stay here," he tells me and although I grab onto him he gets out easily, and tears finally begin to fall once I'm alone. I feel sobs begin to leave my throat, and I realize I've never cried before, at least not that I can remember.

Gally comes back to me sooner than I expect and he holds me close until I eventually cry myself to sleep, but even in my sleep I hear it. My friends dying.
