The Girl From The Maze - Gally

The Letter

While I was hiding there I was drawing and writing in my book. I knew when we did escape that I couldn't bring it with me and it was a few pages away from being filled so I filled all but the last one. I ripped the last page out and turned it into a letter. I know I needed to get this letter to its destination. The sun was beginning to set, I knew Gally would be banishing Thomas and Teresa soon. We had a plan. An hour or two ago Newt and Mihno and Chuck had come over to check on Thomas. He remembers all his old memories and tried to persuade them to basically give up on him but we persuaded him otherwise and made up a plan. They knew I was there and involved me in it. 

I needed to place this letter in its spot before leaving and without being seen. I have been chatting to Teresa and Thomas for most of the afternoon just talking about some of our old memories. They both fell asleep about about half an hour ago. I got up and made a dash for it. Running behind the huts to keep cover. No one noticed me. I got to wear I knew Gally was sat. I waited at the side of the hut waiting for him to walk out. Surely enough he walked out to go get Thomas and Teresa to banish them. Usually I would be really scared about the plan but I knew it would work.

I snuck into the hut and placed the letter on Gally's chair. A tear came to my eye as I realised that we were leaving. I pulled my book out and ripped a few pages out. I had to leave my book but I wanted to keep my favourite pages. There was really only 7 or 8 pages that I kept, most of them drawings only a few pages of writing. I wiped my tear away from my eye as I heard the commotion coming from outside. 

I walked outside to see Thomas being dragged unconscious by two boys and Teresa being tied to a pole. I kept my distance as not to alarm anyone. Gally was just saying some nonsense about how the glade is our home, which is true in some ways but still. "Look around you, look at our Glade" Gally was still talking nonsense. Then I saw the signal from Newt. I got closer as I spotted Chuck with all the bags and weapons. "Tie him up...... Did you hear me I said tie him up" Gally had lost his temper once again. 

Two boys started to pick Thomas up as he Punched one of them in the balls and grabbed his spear, I ran forward "Newt behind you" I shouted as I punched the guy in the face "That felt good" I smiled before running to the rest of the group. Newt Hit someone on the back of his head with his knife, Teresa kicked someone in the balls, Mihno threatened Gally with his knife and Fry cut Teresa free. The plan worked. Chuck ran towards us. We were now all stood in front of the doors with weapons in our hands, Chuck passed me one when he got there.

 "Anyone else that wants to come nows your last chance" Thomas stood in the middle of the group with a spear pointed at Gally. "Dont listen to him he's just trying to scare you" Gally put his hand out trying to control the Gladers. "No I'm not trying to scare you, your already scared, ok. I'm scared but I'd rather risk my life out there than spend the rest of it in here....We don't belong here, Ok this place isn't our home. We were put here, alright. We were trapped here. At least out there we have a chance...... We can make it out of here. I know that" Thomas gave us a speech that we all needed. 

Soon other Gladers started to walk over to us. Winston being the first then Jeff then a few others, soon our army was much bigger than Gally's. "Gally its over" I couldn't agree more with Thomas "Just come with us" There were several moments of silence before Gally responded "Good luck against the grievers" He nodded. I had lost him. I wasn't going to see him again. We all started to back away and into the maze that held our fate. 

We had been running for a bit before Newt ended up beside me. "Dont worry about Gally your better off without him" He sounded extremely out of breath and his limp was very obvious. "I know it just hurts knowing that I'm not going to see him again you know" I turned to him slowing my pace so that I could keep in line with him. "We have all lost friends over the past few days but we need to put all of our strength and effort into surviving and getting out or all of this will have been for nothing, they will have died for nothing and we can't have that" He gave a reasuring smile before gesturing me to run ahead "Stop slowing down to run with me, go run up top with Mihno and Thomas" He smiled. I nodded and sped up.
