Chapter 7 - It Was A Lie When They Smiled and Said You Won't Feel A Thing

November 8, 2013

It's (Y/N)'s sixteenth birthday. (Y/N) woke up with birthday greetings which she replied and thanked one by one. John gave her a cupcake that had one candle in it.

You'd think that an heiress could do better than a cupcake with one candle, but (Y/N) didn't mind. In fact, she loved it because that was what Stephen used to do every year on her birthday. When he was gone, John continued the tradition which she admired.

After the cupcake, John gave (Y/N) a card. She saw that it was from Catherine. She opened it, being greeted with really really fancy writing.

Happy Sweet Sixteen (Y/N)!

If you have any plans for tonight, cancel them! Because I have planned out a party for you. It'll be on 5:30pm but I want you to be there on 4:30pm so we can dress you up.

Love you! Have a great day! I'll see you later. ❤️

P.S. Thomas will take you.

3:45pm

When Thomas was parking his car in the garage of (Y/N)'s house, he could've sworn that he saw a blonde woman at the front door. She dropped something which looked like an envelope. Thomas parked the car in the garage then when he walked out, the woman was gone.

Thomas would've thought that the woman could've just been a figure of his imagination if it wasn't for the envelope he saw her drop. He picked it up and saw that it wasn't addressed to anybody. He opened it and saw that inside it was written:

See you tonight.
You'll see your brother again.

Thomas didn't know who the note was from and who that blonde lady was. He looked intently at the card and wondered what it could mean. He knew that (Y/N)'s brother was taken. Does that mean she'll be taken too? Or does it mean that his brother was already found after five years?

He shoved the note in his pocket. He didn't want to ruin (Y/N)'s birthday by telling her something about her brother. He didn't know what the card meant. He didn't want to cause her worry or false hope so he hid the card from her.

4:00pm

(Y/N) wondered why it was just four o'clock but it looked really dark. The snow was falling and it was really cold so (Y/N) wore her jacket tightly, hoping for warmth. (Y/N) thought that John was coming with them but he said that he was going to follow and that they should go on ahead.

"So Thomas any news about the movie?" (Y/N) asked when they were in the car.

"Yeah." Thomas nodded. "So what do you want to know about?"

"Who's gonna be playing Thomas?"

Thomas then smiled. "You're not going to believe this (Y/N). It's Dylan O'Brien."

"You're serious?" (Y/N) laughed. "That Dylan which my best friend and your cousin is obsessed with?"

"Yeah!" He said with a huge smile on his face.

"Does Kit Kat already know about this?"

"Not yet," he shook his head. "I'm planning on bringing her to the set to meet him, along with you."

"Really?" (Y/N)'s eyes sparkled. She really wants to meet the other people who's going to be a part on making The Maze Runner.

"Yeah. I know that you love the book so much so I won't let you miss out on the fun."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

4:16pm

"(Y/N)," Thomas started.

"Yeah?" She looked up from her phone.

"Why do you have a lot of stuff with you?"

(Y/N) looked at her backpack which looked a little full. "They're just in case I get bored. I have my books with me, diary and sketch pad."

"You won't get bored its your party."

"Well sometimes in parties, I get bored and sometimes no one talks to me. I don't want to stand there in a corner feeling awkward so I want to do something that won't make me look lonely."

"I promise you this (Y/N), in this party you'll be the center of attention. You won't ever be alone."

"Really?"

"Yep. I promise you that."

"I'll hold you on that," she said.

The car abruptly stopped which got Thomas to worry. He went outside with his flashlight since it's quite dark. The road that they were on isn't really a popular road so not many cars come and go here. Even if it was dark, (Y/N) saw that they were by the forest.

Thomas went back in the car, confused. Nothing was wrong with it but it wouldn't work. "Catherine's going to kill me if we're late," he muttered under his breath.

"Don't worry, I'll explain everything to her," (Y/N) chuckled.

He tried to call her but there wasn't any service. He tried again using (Y/N)'s phone but still they couldn't contact her because there wasn't any service.

After a few minutes, Thomas tried staring that car again. Then the car engine turned on and the both of them were shouting for joy.

"Alright. Let's get out of here shall we love?" Thomas smiled.

"Yes we shall," (Y/N) blushed at the term of endearment.

They were about to move but then a car hit them. The impact could've made the car roll around like a ball but a tree stopped them. (Y/N) hit her head hard and she could feel a few scratches on her arms and legs. She quickly took her black jacket that Thomas gave her and wore it so that she won't see it for now. She looked at Thomas who seemed unconscious.

"Thomas! Thomas!" She yelled.

He immediately woke up and was shocked at their state. The car was still on its upright position but the glass was shattered.

"(Y/N) get out of the car," he commanded.

(Y/N) just did what he said and got out of the car. Thomas also got out of the car and walked towards her with a flashlight.

"Are you alright?" (Y/N) just nodded. She wanted to tell him about her head and her arms but she feels that the trouble has just begun.

"You?" She asked.

"My head just hurts but I'm fine."

"What are we going to do?" She asked. She wanted to scream, to panic and run around but she knew that that wouldn't help.

She looked at Thomas who's hands were balled into fists. He hugged her and she hugged him back. It seems like the situation is in reverse since he's the one crying and not her.

"Thomas it's alright we're going to get out of here."

"I'm so sorry (Y/N)," he apologized. "I'm so sorry. I'm so bloody stupid!"

She was shocked and confused by his words but she continued to comfort him. "Thomas it's ok and you're not stupid. We're going to be fine."

He pulled out of their hug and wiped his tears. "(Y/N) you don't understand. I saw a card earlier saying that you were going to see your brother again. I didn't know what it meant and I didn't want you to be sad on your birthday so I didn't tell you about it."

"It's okay. It's okay," she comforted him.

"You're not mad?"

"Of course not. I appreciate the gesture and nobody would've believed that card anyway. But if that card means what I think it means, we have to go now."

(Y/N) gripped Thomas's wrist and the both of them ran away from the car. "Where are we going?"

"Away from here."

"But what if we get taken?" (Y/N) could hear that Thomas was panicking. She wanted to comfort him but she didn't have the luxury to, neither does Thomas. They have to get away. Go to a place that's populated with people.

"Don't worry, we won't," she promised. She just hoped that that promise won't be broken.

It's a little weird that I'm a really depressed girl but I'm the optimistic one in this situation, she joked in her head. She hasn't been that depressed for a long time but being depressed for three years made her tight of herself as the depressed girl.

Thomas was about to say something but then they heard footsteps. They hid behind a tree and peeked at the people. They didn't seem friendly.

"Get the girl," one of them said.

"(Y/N) run now!" Thomas whispered.

"But what about you?"

"Don't you worry about me for one bloody second it's you they want so go!"

(Y/N) ran as fast as she could. She ran deeper and deeper into the woods, hoping that she won't get caught. She hoped that Thomas would be safe. That he won't get taken away.

She would've run until the ends of the earth to get away from here. Sadly, she's human and she needed to take a break. She saw a boulder and hid behind it.

"Where is she?" (Y/N) heard a male voice.

"I don't know. Check over there?"

She was about to leave her place but she heard more footsteps. She stayed behind that rock for a few minutes. She was scared, that's an understatement. She was absolutely terrified. She didn't want to leave her spot she since she was frozen with fear.

"Are you searching for the girl?" She heard another person ask.

"Yeah."

"What about that boy?"

"He escaped. We were going to catch him but she just told us to get the girl and ignore him." (Y/N) felt relived that Thomas has escaped. That means help could come.

After that conversation, she heard that the footsteps are now far away from her. She was going to get out and run out of the woods but then she felt herself being dragged. She screamed and thrashed. She felt hands holding her legs and arms. She kept on screaming for help but then they threw her in a van and she hit her head again in the process.

Then she saw that they injected her something on her arm. She felt really drowsy. She tried to fight it but she couldn't.

"We should clean her wounds before she goes into the Maze," she heard someone say.

Maze? What Maze?

"We have no more time to clean her wounds," she heard a female voice say. "We're already behind schedule. I can only erase a few memories before we get there."

(Y/N)'s eyes were dropping already and she was already falling asleep.

The last thing she heard was the female saying to her, "WICKED is good."
