When I woke up I was in the one of the many med jack beds. It had at least been a couple hours maybe more, the sun had gone down. I saw newt fast asleep in the chair next to me
(Had he stayed there all night?) he woke up and seen me sitting up in the bed.

"Your awake! How are you, do you feel alright?" "I'm fine" I say  "the last time you said that you fainted and I had to carry you all the way here" "Sorry" "don't be sorry, it's not your fault Ben bloody attacked you" what happened to him?" I asked  "Well you know he'd been stung, Clint and Jeff fixed up the cut I gave him and he's in the pit now.

"How long have I been asleep?"
"A couple hours, you didn't miss much and Jeff said your fine to run again tomorrow but I don't think you should" " I feel fine don't worry" "yeah but I do worry" he said under his breath "what?" "Nothing" he said quickly. "Okay" it got really awkward after that but luckily Jeff came in the room and told me I could leave. Newt helped me  outside and I was met with Alby's Stern face starting straight at me. (That look is never good)

Newt rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Catch you later Clara" "see ya" I returned
I walked over to Alby who then started walking in a random direction, I followed him and he started talking to me in a leadership manner.
" we haven't been able to get a clear word outta Ben since it happened, you know, he's not making any sense, and as you know it's only gonna get worse. The infection is spreading, he's dangerous. I need to know what he said to you.

"He said he saw me! That all this is my fault. How could this be my fault?" "I don't know, just don't work yourself up about it" he started to walk away " hey Alby! Is he going to be banished?" "Yeah" he said quietly, And he walked away.

————————————————————————

We stood in front of the ginormous maze doors, they would close any second now. Newt, Alby and some others formed a circle around the doors holding long sticks tied with rope to keep them from falling apart while Minho held on to a tied up Ben begging for his life. He was being sent into the maze. He knew he wouldn't make it out alive and we all knew it too. "Please" he said " just listen to me. Listen to me! Minho!" He was panting hard and looked horrible.

Minho pushed him into the circle and everyone closed it up leaving no room for him to escape. At this point he was crying, i wanted to help him but I knew he was a lost cause. Thomas then ran up next to me and chuck, his face taken aback.

Minho threw a bag of rations and supplies into the maze just as they began to close. "No, no, no please don't " Ben yelled but it was muffled by his cries. A screeching souse filled the air as the doors got closer to touching. " poles!" Alby boomed. Everyone lowered their poles, pointing them at Ben as he scrambled back on his hands and knees. Chuck walked away not wanting to watch. I knew I should go with him but I couldn't move, I stood their frozen as someone I knew, my friend was being killed. No one survives a night in the maze.

The guys started walking forward pushing ben deeper into the maze. He begged for his life but it was no use, he retreated into the maze so he didn't get squished by the maze doors. And that was the last time I saw him.
