Minho returned from the Maze. The Glade was quiet, eerily quiet. People were standing around, no one seemed to be doing their jobs. He found Newt first.
"What the shuck has gotten into people?" he asked, "It's like someone died or somethin'."
Then he noticed Newt's face. It was red and puffy, like he's spent the day crying.
"What happened, Newt?" Minho asked.
"Tell me!" he said impatiently when Newt didn't respond.
"It's Vera," Newt said shakily.
"What about Vera?" Minho snapped.
"She's dead, Minho."
"You're joking. That's one funny shucking prank, Newt," Minho said in disbelief.
"It's not a joke, Minho! Bloody hell, you really think I'd joke about my shucking best friend dying?" Newt hissed.
Minho bolted to Vera's room, his lungs were burning, worse than they ever have, and he ran through the Maze every day.
Vera was lying on her bed. She was pale. Minho's breath got caught in his throat when he reached out to touch her. She was as cold as ice.
"You Slinthead!" Minho screamed, "you promised me! You promised! We were going to make it out of here!"
Minho was crying, shaking the dead girl he loved.
He lost it.
He punched the wall of the Homestead, over and over again till his tanned knuckles were a crimson red.
His screams echoed across the Glade. No one went to check up on Minho, he would need his space.
