12 || I Hate Heights

"So you don't think the Right Arm is real?" I say then we turn around hearing a Crank.

"I think... Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope has killed more of my friends than the Flare and the Scorch combined. Just thought Jorge was smarter than that." We come to another fork in the road with multiple different ways.

"Hey, I think it might be this way." Thomas says as we turn around to not see Brenda.

"Brenda?" I call her name.

"Brenda?" We both say then go over to her to see something on the wall.

"Why are we following it?" I whisper shout at them as they follow it.

"What the hell is this?" He asks.

"I don't know." She tells him.

"Guys, can we go? I have a bad feeling." I tell them, looking around as we watch the rat. That soon gets taken by a full turn crank. "I'm gonna run now?" I turn around to see one. "Give me this." I take something from Brenda hitting it so we can run past. "Listen to me next time!" I yell at them running ahead of them then put my arms out to stop them as we almost fall off. I started to panic because of how high we were.

"We gotta climb, Lizzie." Thomas tells me as Brenda starts to go up.

"Higher?" I have trouble breathing calmly.

"You can do it." He shoves me in front of him so I start climbing.

"More?" I whine seeing we had to keep going.

"Watch out!" Brenda tells us as something comes falling down, taking out a crank. "Follow me." She said, still going up, making me want to kill her. As one gets close to Thomas I kick it back to the bottom.

"Brenda!" I yell as she falls through a door landing on glass. "You okay?" I ask her.

"Yeah." She sighs.

"Hang on, I'm gonna find a way down." Thomas tells her.

"Don't move." I tell her as she tries to get up and Thomas slides down to her. "Crank!" I shout as one runs at me so I grab the door holding on while it goes to Brenda.

Thomas gets the glass to break, holding her then pulls her to safety while I panic, holding onto the door still. "Lizzie, Elizabeth. You have to get down here." Thomas makes me laugh.

"How? You broke the glass!" I yell at him looking down and my hands start to sweat.

"Okay, your gonna have to slide down then grab that right there." He tries to help me.

"I can't! I'm scared. I'll miss it." I start to tear up terrified.

"You can do it, Lizzie. I believe in you." He says as I start to slip a little.

"I can't Thomas." Squeeze my eyes. "Then just let go and I'll grab you in time." He tells me, making me laugh more.

"And if you don't?"

"You trust me don't you? I promise you will be okay. I won't let anything happen to you." His words make me feel some way so I agree.

"I'm trusting you, Tommy." I look down at him.

"Okay, on three." He says then counts down and I let go.

Just in time he grabs me pulling me into his arms walking us to the side as I hold on to him for dear life. "I told you." He smiles down at me as I hold onto him crying. "You're okay." He says into my hair, holding me tight.

"Let's get going." I move away after calming down. "We can get down here. Come on." I say seeing a way down to the ground.

"Any reason what made you terrified of heights?" Brenda asks me.

"In the maze I got stuck at the top of the wall and couldn't get down because Griever was chasing me. Then there's another reason that's something personal that happened. Not to me but it also affected me." I tell them as we get down.

"You all right?" Thomas asks as Brenda stops and sits down. She raises her jeans up and we see a bite-mark.

"Brenda." We say her name.

"Yeah, yeah. I know." She says, trying not to cry, getting up and we follow her.

We walk down the street side by side looking at everyone around us. "You sure this is the place?" Thomas asks her.

"You here for the party?" A woman walks up to us. Brenda tells her no and that we are looking for Marcus.

"This is my place." A man says.

"Are you Marcus?" Thomas asks him.

"Marcus doesn't live here anymore." He tells us.

"Do you know where we can find him?" I ask the man.

"Sure, sure. He's over in Zone B." He tells us then the woman says that's where they burn bodies.

"Okay, look, has anyone else been by here looking for him? Group of kids around our age?" Thomas walks up to him.

"You know, uh... I think they might be inside. Here. Drink this." He takes out a drink saying we have to drink it to get in.

They make me and Thomas drink a lot before pushing the three of us inside. Inside people were acting very relaxed and I wasn't feeling like myself. Brenda suggested splitting up to look for the others but I had a feeling they weren't here.

"Thomas." I say as he walks off from me and I didn't want to be alone. "Tommy." I say seeing the room get blurry so I lean against the wall. "They aren't here." I find Thomas again as he bumps into me.

"We need to get out of here then." He grabs my hand as we stand still.

"I'm scared Tommy." I start to feel worse as everything around us gets wavy.

"I'm here." He grabs my face, leaning down kissing me and I melt into the kiss.

As I hear a gasp I lean back, opening my eyes to see Gally with a bleeding hole where the spear hit him. "Are you okay? Lizzie?" Thomas asks, making me back away crying. "Lizzie." Thomas follows me but I hear Newt say Ellie I turn around and see Newt as a crank making me yell then fall to the floor passing out.

"Thomas? What are you doing?" I ask as he drags me into a room. "I'm so sorry." He pulls me into a hug. "Sorry about what? Thomas what's wrong?" I ask, stepping back grabbing his shoulder. "You're gonna be first. I can't change their minds. I promise you will be okay. I won't let anything happen to you." He runs his hands through my hair. "What?" I was confused as Wicked soldiers came busting into the room. "No!" Thomas yells at them as they grab me. "Thomas!" I kick my legs getting dragged away. "You'll be okay, Lizzie! I promise. Just trust me!" Thomas yells.

"You scared us." Newt says as I wake up with him, Minho, and Fry around me.

"I'm never drinking again." I say making them laugh at me as I sit up.

"Careful." Fry pats the top of my head as we watch Jorge.

Minho goes over to Thomas who was waking up too. Thomas looks over at me and I look away wondering if he remembers kissing me. Brenda sees the look on my face raising an eyebrow making me sigh.

"I'm sorry... You're going to have to leave my house." The man tells Jorge.

"Listen. I don't enjoy hurting you. Okay? Where is the Right Arm, Marcus?" He asks him, making Thomas ask, that's Marcus. Jorge tries to get Marcus to talk but he says he makes his own deals.

"I'm talking about supply and demand. Wicked wants all the Immunes they can get. I help provide that for them. So I lure the kids in... they get drunk, they have a good time. And then, later. Wicked comes in... They separate the wheat from the chaff." Marcus laughs, making Jorge hurt him more so he can talk more.
