What´s up boyz and grills I am back… uh did I just write that? Guess I did…
So it´s been a long time since I uploaded my first story. And I honestly face palmed when I read it a few hours ago. This time I will take my time to write each chapter and only upload them when I´m truly satisfied with it.
Anyway I hope you enjoy this story.
So in this story takes place after the third book of the series but with a different ending. Honestly I found the original ending quite unpleasant and I´m sure that I´m not the only one who thinks like that.
Disclaimed: I don´t own this franchise or it´s characters, all rights go to James Dashner, and so on… I think you all know what should stand here right?
Chapter 1
Thomas laid in the grass a bit outside of their new home. The last paradise in the world. The last remaining humans.
They had lost so much in the last months but now they finally have peace.
He thought back when Brenda saved his life by losing her own, how she died so he could lead the rest to a better future.
But right now Thomas didn´t even know if he could do it. Leading the last 200 humans was a very though job. They spend the last few days building small shelters and they also started to craft some tools like an axe.
If this place was an island it had to be pretty big, because they haven´t found the ocean yet. The good thing about here was that they had everything. Animals they could hunt some trees with fruits and they had a big water fountain.
They definitely wouldn´t die because of starvation and he was also pretty sure that WICKED would never ever manipulate them. But who knows maybe this place was just as dangerous as the labyrinth and just looks a bit nicer?
Suddenly he heard soft footsteps on the grass.
Thomas mentally groaned, what was it this time? Did one of the shelters break apart? Got Minho into another fight? Or just some random complain?
"Hey Thomas!"
He knew that voice. He knew it just too well and it was probably the last person he wanted to speak right now.
"Hey Teresa!" he mumbled.
Now it was not like he didn´t liked her anymore. He already forgave her, but it also always hurt when he looked at her, so he tried to avoid her since they got here.
She sat down beside him and looked into the distance, and he really had to force himself to not stare at her like a lost puppy.
Suddenly she sighted and broke the uncomfortable silence "I know that you don´t want to talk to me and I can understand that. But I think we should sort this out."
Thomas forced a smile "I told you I already forgave you…"
"But you still act like you don´t know me anymore. That hurts you know? I can understand that you don´t want to trust me anymore. B-But can we at least talk about it?" she said.
He looked at her again and immediately noticed the bags under her eyes.
"Looks like I´m not the only one who is lacking sleep." he thought.
At first he said nothing and just looked at her face, which changed from sad to worried and then back again to sad. Her face that he learned to love but also fear. Did he still love her? He was pretty sure about that. But could he trust her ever again? He probably did already.
So why did he struggled to just tell her? He didn´t know.
But he knew for sure that he would be regretting it if he wasn´t honest now.
"What did that kiss in the desert meant to you?" he asked her.
She was a little bit taken back by that question. But answered with longing in her eyes "Probably the same thing it meant to you."
Thomas just nodded and surprised himself when he took her hand and muttered "My feelings for you never changed you know. It just broke my heart when I thought you don´t feel the same way about me."
As he rubbed her hand he looked her into the eyes again and he knew they both wanted the same right now and closed the gap between their lips.
So what do you think about it? Good? Bad? Give me some feedback on what I can improve on. Or just tell me if you found some grammar mistakes. I really appreciate that.
I hope I can upload the second chapter in the next week. Till then… peace.
