"I didn't do anything!" I screamed and fought as four strongmen dragged me from the Slammer toward the opening in the wall.

I struggled and thrashed against their grip but the four boys were clearly stronger than me. Even if I did break free, I was already trapped.

"Lira, the Greenie."

No, this can't be happening.

"You are here now banished for killing Mel,"

This can't be real.

"a member of the Builde-"

"No! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't do it!" I screamed. Hot tears trailing down my face as I struggled against the grip on my arms.

Alby just frowned at me. I've never felt so much hatred for him until now. How could he believe I could actually murder someone?

I kept on twisting my arms, trying to get free but it's no use. How can everyone just stand there and be okay with this?

Before I knew it, I was already surrounded by twelve boys who I knew all too well. Still, I kept on struggling as they tried to place the collar around my neck. My eyes met with Minho's and I silently pleaded with him to believe me. My heart dropped when he just shook his head and looked away.

I frankly looked over each of the boys' faces only to find hatred and disgust. One of them even had a murderous look. My eyes landed on Thomas who stared back at me with a hopeless face, matching my exact condition.

"Thomas! Please...don't tell me you believe this!" I yelled, clinging onto the little hope I had left. Thomas wouldn't leave me, right? But Thomas just looked away, his face blocked by the rest of the Gladers.

I could feel my fate set in stone as the collar clicked into place around my neck, choking me. I dropped my head and silently sobbed as they lead me closer to the opening.

My friends, my best friends, could actually do this? Were they going to believe a petty lie over me?

Knowing it was useless, I raised my head only to meet with Newt's blank stare. I shook my head at him, eyes wide.

"Newt... Not you too."

Newt stared ahead; eyes blank. Emotionless.

This is it. I'm doomed. I hung my head as my whole world crumbled down. I can't believe this. I can't believe that the people I trusted the most could betray me like this.

Shutting my eyes, I felt the push I was waiting for and stumbled forward before falling hard on my side. Turning around, I gave my friends one last look before the doors closed shut. Wait, did I say friends? I meant betrayers.

But little did they know that this was not the last encounter they would have with little miss me.

So... How was it?
I wanted a new, twisted kind of way to make a maze runner fanfic.
I hope you like it!
