16 || Bridge Trip
-3rd person's P.O.V-
"Thomas?" Amber calls the unconscious boy as he was lay down on a couch while the others stared at Jorge punch answers out of Marcus.
She saw him look around nay be very confused as to where was he? "Son of a bitch!" Jorge slapped Marcus cursing him too and Amber closed her eyes not really liking how they were getting the answers.
He did deserve it but she just didn't want to be there. Thomas nodded at her worried features and got up walking over to the others.
"I'm sorry but you may have to believe me" Marcus says blood dripping and drying on his face with an already swollen eye.
"Listen. I don't enjoy hurting you. Okay? Where is the Right Arm, Marcus?" the man said already tired of all this questioning.
Amber fiddled with the locket.
"Wait this is Marcus?" Thomas asks amused that it was the guy that told him he wasn't Marcus. Amber thought that was a smooth yet not fun trick.
Marcus giggled. "The kid catches on quick. Are you the brains of the operation-Ah!" he groaned when his head was pulled back by the hair.
"I know you know where they're hiding. So you tell me and I'll make you a deal. You can come with us" Jorge negotiates with someone that seemed pretty gone to Amber.
He giggles again. The brunette didn't like that laugh, it seemed like someone crazy. "I burned that bridge a long time ago. Besides, I made my own deal" the girl's eyebrow raise. "You're the one who taught me, "Never miss an opportunity" "
Aris day down beside his sister as he listened in also a puzzled look on his face. His and Amber's didn't have similar features. No more than lips and eye color that's it. No face features or anything else. You wouldn't think they were siblings at all if it wasn't for how they never separated and say they were blood.
"What's he talking about?" Newt asked.
"I'm talking about supply and demand" Marcus tells them. "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 weak from the strong" he giggled again.
"Why?" Amber says and he turns to her his bloody smile making her disgusted.
"Why not?" he gives her a more intense look. "You'd be great for a trade" Amber gulped. Marcus confusing her and others.
"Why?" Aris asked protectively over his sister putting an arm over her shoulders.
He laughs shaking his head. "Why not?"
With vague answers and already having enough Jorge purses his lips. "I changed my mind, hermano," he put the pocket cloth back in his suit pocket. "I do enjoy hurting you" he growls before kicking his chair back taking out the gun.
He cocked it pointing it directly at Marcus's face. Amber stood up at the movement, the room was tensed at the actions.
"Talk!" demanded Jorge over the other man's face. "TALK!"
"Okay! Okay! Jesus. But I'm not making any promises," Amber sighed seeing they will finally know something besides the fact that these people hid in the mountains. "These guys like to move around. They have an outpost in the mountains. But it's a long way away, you've got half a week in your hands you're never gonna make it" he optimistically says.
"Not on foot. Where's Bertha?" Jorge smiles patting Marcus on the chest. "Not Bertha" he cried sadly.
'Who was Bertha?' Amber wondered.
°°°
Thomas watched as the girl sat legs up close to her chest inside the truck on the car who resulted to be Bertha and she held the golden jewelry around her neck.
Amber sighed fiddling with the part where it could snap open and wondered if she would ever open it. Aris himself has been wondering the same thing too.
He was very curious to know what was inside that thing that was the only and last thing they had from who gave birth to them.
No one really had that in the glade. Something to hold onto and she did. Why WICKED decided to leave it? Was a question she would like to know, but seeing those people again was stronger than that request.
With one last sigh, she let it go tucking it back inside her shirt and looked up. Her eyes connected with Thomas's who sent her a warmth down her chest at the way they were looking at her.
Since she sat beside Aris he sneaked his hand behind the boy and held hers which she gladly locked fingers with.
As Jorge reached the bridge they stopped when there were cars blocking the way. All in a very disorganized and what seemed to be an accident layout.
Everyone hopped off the car and stared at the rusty cars. "Well, I guess we're on foot" Jorge sighs.
Amber stared at the cliff before her looking down and feeling a little dizzy at how high they were. As some stared at the insides of the car she looked at the mountains and her eyes squinted to see what seemed to be a human shadow.
She gasped when it shot her way hitting the floor making more shots fire to the whole group. Running behind a car Aris hid her with him and crouched to dodger the bullets.
Her heart was immediately racing already getting prepared to run since it seemed that that is what they have been doing this whole time so she was read you this time.
"It stopped" she whispers to her brother and he nods.
"Hey! Is everyone okay out there?!" Thomas asks loudly as they l hide behind different transports.
"We're fine!" Teresa says.
"Anybody knows where those bloody shots came from?" Newt says irritated by this.
"I saw a figure up top the mountains!" she answers. Her vision was pretty good, she had great sight which was a good thing because everything has happened.
Shots fire again. "Stay down damn it!" Amber snapped at whoever was the one to peak their heads to see. Aris was pretty surprised at her but grinned.
"Everybody! Stay behind a truck! And hold your ears!" Jorge said making them frown in confusion.
"Drop it. Now" a females voice rung through the mountains. "I said drop it!" she snapped harder.
Amber didn't know who it was or if it was a crank that still had sanity. She leaned over to peek at who the voice belonged to. But all she could see were feet a car blocking her view.
"On your feet. Now" she sounded like a cop, yet that made her remember a familiar voice. "Let's go! Move! Back up!"
'That "let's go" I've heard it before' she thought to herself.
"Easy" Jorge and Thomas back up and did as they said.
"You two over here now!"
"Come on let's go!"
They all stood up hands in the air moving to where the guns were properly pointed which was in front of them and Amber gulped only to tilt her head at the women.
"Aris?" she looked at her brother.
"Oh my God Harriet" he says and the girl's blue eyes widen in surprise. They were her friend from the Glade. Aris stood upfront hugging the girl.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she snaps. Amber smiles stepping upfront.
"Amber?" she turns to her and they hug each other. "You're lucky we didn't shoot you dumbasses"
She was happy to know her friends from the girl's glade were alive. The blonde was very nice when she first arrived.
"Harriet" Amber says and the other girl laughed hugging her back. They were happy to see to siblings.
Everybody else was just confused.
"Uh, what's happening?" Minho sassily asks his hands still up in surrender.
"We were in the Maze together" Aris says and Amber smiles seeing her best friends again. She thought she did never see them again and here they were.
Harriet whistles. "Were clear guys come on out!" she states and people came out of their hiding spots Amber seeing the figure she spotted earlier.
"Saw that one" she pointed at the man.
"Really? You and your perfect sight" Sonya says as she was careful with details even when back in the Glade.
Amber shrugged proudly. Both Harriet and Sonya guided the group inside the tunnel. "Are these really your friends?" Thomas asked Amber as she stood beside him.
The girl looked up seeing he needed to Ben sure to trust them. "Absolutely. I trust them" he nods and reassures him she got the courage to hold his hand.
"Back it up, Joe!" Sonya called the guy in the truck. As they reached the other side Harriet stopped in front of one of them.
Many others stood their guns in hands and across shoulders. "We're taking them to base" Harriet instructs her leader self showing like it always did.
"Wait. So, how did you guys get here?" Aris asks them.
"The Right Arm got is out" Harriet answers. Amber thought about that.
"So they're good, like good, good?" Like she thought before she didn't know if she's should trust the Right Arm.
"Yes," Sonia smiles knowing Amber always had that trust issue problem. But not with Thomas.
"Wait. The Right Arm. Do you know where they are?" Thomas asks her hope in his voice.
Harriet opens the car's door. "Hop in"
(A/N) Hello peeps!!
Oh no. We're almost close to the ending ah! I can't believe it but let's not get ahead. Amber and Aris found their old Maze friends. I loved how the others were so confused in the movie it was very funny. Amber and Thomas sneaking their hands to grab each other ugh so cute in my opinion.
I think I got them a ship name: Thamber. I like it but if you guys have better options tell me.
Sorry for any misspellings :)
Remember to stay safe <3
