The Maze Runner Imagines

All x Reader [10]

A/N: here's something to hopefully make your Monday a little better :) 

Y/N's walk across the glade started off peaceful. She was just going to go check on one of the builders in the medjack hut as per Jeff's request. But, per usual, something had to happen out of the blue.

Tonight, it was Thomas and Minho running straight for Y/N, panic on their faces. It wasn't the sort of 'run for your life, there's grievers' kind of panic. It was the 'we messed up' kind of panic. Y/N knew that was the worse of the two. So, she stopped and waited for them to finally make it to her.

She had initially expected the boys to slow their run once they got to her. But, no. Not this time. They didn't slow down even slightly as they got closer.

"Okay! Time to run, Y/N!" Minho hollered as he and Thomas got within a few feet of her. They grabbed at her arms as they ran past and started dragging her along with them. Whatever was going on apparently involved her.

"Wait what did you guys do?" She tried to get any and all information out from her friends as they dragged her by the arms through the glade. They scrambled through the kitchens, knocking things over and then through the hammocks. Thomas and Minho actually having to lift Y/N over one of them as they dragged her right into it and she lost her footing.

"No time to explain but we're in big trouble and you're part of it." Minho forced words out through heavy breaths.

Y/N scoffed and tried to look at Minho as they ran. She had no clue where they were going. "How was I a part of it?!?"

"Last I checked you were also a runner and this situation involves all of the runners." The keeper spat out.

The girl wasn't willing to accept that as the only answer she got. Minho would never give, but she knew Thomas would. "Thomas... what did you guys do?' The newest of the runners could always be guilt tripped into talking.

"Ehhhhh..." He tried to hold back from talking but couldn't. "We collapsed the maproom roof."

Y/N stopped dead in her tracks. "YOU WHAT?"

She was quickly yanked back into running by Minho.

"Ok, ok listen, I thought it might help to get a birds eye view on the map...I didn't think the WHOLE thing was going to collapse." Thomas honestly tried to defend the action he'd taken which obviously wasn't thought out for one second. It was pretty typical of Thomas.

"Just like a shucking idiot would." Minho grumbled.

Y/N pressed her palms over her eyes for a moment in sheer hopelessness. "We're dead. We are actually dead. Not only is Alby going to wanna kill us, so are all of the builders."

Finally, Minho dragged his friends behind the slicer building. "I can take those losers." He tried to sound confident.

"No you can't, Minho! You definitely cannot." Y/N point out behind the building across the glade to some of the builders. Minho wasn't small by any means, but those guys sure seemed like they could take him down.

Minho took the bite at his ego and sucked it up. "Fine, any grand plans?"

Y/N paused to think for a moment. "...We could go back."

Thomas nearly alert the whole glade of their position by jumping out of his skin. "ARE YOU STUPID!?"

"Not as much as you." Y/N gave him a sarcastic up down look. "I say we go bury ourselves in the mess and pretend we got knocked out and wait for someone to find us. We can say it just collapsed on us and we don't know what happened."

Silence. Everyone exchanged glances. The lack of blabbering voices scared Y/N. It meant Thomas and Minho were thinking for once.

With a shrug, Minho got back up. "Alright. Let's do it. But we gotta run fast."

Somehow, they'd done it. They managed to get back to the wreckage and bury themselves just before Alby and Newt came looking for them. They wait patiently for the voices of the leader and his second in command to get closer.

"What the—" Alby's footsteps got faster. "Is anybody in there?"

"Aggghhhh," Minho cried out. "Man, my face better not be shucked."

"Last bloody thing you should be worrying about is your face, Minho!" Newt shout as he ran worryingly fast to help Y/N and Thomas out from under the mess. Once he had them up, he checked them over carefully for any injuries.

"Everyone okay?" Alby asked as he scoured around the area, looking for clues. "I know the maproom is old, but Gally is a good builder. It wouldn't just fall apart like this."

"Yeah man, we're good. Maybe go talk to Gally and ask him why he's trying to kill us." Minho suggested, pretending to rub a sore spot on his head.

Alby eyed the keeper of runners with suspicion but nevertheless nod and turn to walk off. "See to it they're all okay, Newt."

"Good that." He responded. Then, we wait patiently for Alby to lead the forest.

Then, Newt turned to the three runners with furious eyes. Particularly, they were laid on Thomas and Minho. He knew Y/N wasn't really a part of this. "You shanks are lucky I'm nice.'

Minho tilt his head in question, still playing the part of the poor little runner who'd been squashed by sticks. "What you mean?"

In annoyance, Newt shift his weight and crossed his arms. "I saw you two scrambling across the glade like newborn deer, you don't think I know what actually happened?"

"Yeah, shuckface, I don't think you do." Minho respond sharply, offended to be accused of so quickly. "You weren't there. What happened, huh?"

"Thomas climbed on the roof, didn't he?" Newt didn't even have to think about it.

Thomas and Minho looked like they'd been hit by a train. "WHAT??"

"Yeah, so I'd suggest you get your bloody story straight before Alby gets back." He sighed, almost feeling sorry for the boys and the mess they'd created for themselves. "Y/N's off the hook. I know she had nothing to do with this. C'mon."

Normally, Y/N wouldn't take the hand Newt held out to her. But, she wanted to escape this situation before Alby came back with Gally and a whole fight started. She'd be quite happy to go eat dinner with Newt while they listened to the banter coming from the deadheads.
