Gally's Little Sister

Chapter fifteen

Scarlett's POV:
The next morning, we were all in Jorge's jeep, headed up the mountains. The thought of maybe, actual finding a resistance was pretty awesome. But we couldn't be sure they were even real, until we saw them. We drove for a few hours, before eventually coming to a stop.
There was a pile of rocks in the middle of the road.
"Well, I think we're on foot from here."
We all got out of the jeep and started grabbing the things we needed. Until I heard the sounds of guns clicking overhead. Then whoever had them, opened fire. We all dove behind the truck.
"What do we do now!" Thomas yelled.
"I don't know hermano! I thought you were supposed to be their leader!"
"You were the one who brought us on this trip! I kinda just guessed that you were the one in charge!"
"Well first things first, we definetly know this was an ambush!"
"No shit Jorge!" I yelled. Maybe a bit to loudly.
"Hold your fire!" I heard someone yell. It sounded like a boy.
"Scarlett, is that you!?"
I gave Newt a confused look and peeked my head over the car. I saw a boy, about my age standing there. He had a bandana over his face. I didn't recognize him. Once he pulled own the bandana, something about his
face clicked inside my brain.
"Shay!? Is that you?"
"Yeah it is!"
I felt my heart leap with joy. I ran out from behind the car and ran towards him. I kept into his arms and engulfed him in a hug.
"Wait! Shay!" I heard Newt yell from behind me.
"Newt!" he yelled.
"Newt!?"
"Is that Sonya!?"Newt yelled.
"Sonya!" I yelled.
"Scarlett!"
"Scarlett?!"
"Oh my god, Harriet!"
"Is that Harriet!?"
"It is me Minho!"
"Minho!"
"Sonya!"
Everyone else left where they were hiding, and ran into one big group hug. I wanted to stay like that forever. Until Thomas ruined the moment.
"I'd hate to ruin this, but what is going on?"
I looked back and saw Jorge, Brenda, Thomas, Aris, Teresa and Frypan looking very confused.
"We all knew eachother before the maze. We were bestfriends," I yelled back at Thomas. Sonya stepped out from the group hug.
"Aris?"
"Sonya! I found you guys." Sonya pulled him into a hug and Harriet joined soon after.
"Wait you know these guys?" Aris asked, pulling away from their hug.
"As Scarlett said, we were all besfriends before the maze."
I turned away from their little reunion, back to Shay.
"I missed you so much."
"You didn't even remember I existed until you saw my face," he laughed.
"Yes but I remember you now. And I haven't seen you in a really long time. So had I remembered you, I would have definetly missed you."
He just laughed and pulled me into another hug.
"So what are you guys doing out here?" Newt asked.
"We're with the Right Arm."
I pulled way from my hug.
"Wait really! We were on our way to find them."
"Well then let's go! Base camp isn't to far from here."
We all clambered back in the jeep, and the other Group B girls cleared the road. Then we were off.

It didn't take very long to get to the base camp. Once we made it, we all hopped out, and the girls introduced us to everyone. They got us settled in tents, and left us to rest. I went and sat on the cot in my tent, and Shay came and sat next to me.
"I never got to say goodbye to you."
"I know. I wanted to say goodbye, but they came and grabbed me and wouldn't let me see anyone. Next thing I knew, I was in the glade."
"How was the maze for you?" He asked.
I put my head down.
"There were some good moments with the other gladers, but it was a dark time."
I felt him put his arm around me. We sat in silence for a few minutes, before he broke it.
"I just realized! Where's Gally? Did he stay back at wherever you came from?"
I felt the tears pooling in my eyes. I looked up at him, and realization crossed his face.
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault. It's actually Minho's."
"What?"
"Minho was the one who killed him. I heard the same thing happened in your group. A member was being controlled by W.I.C.K.E.D, then they shot Rachel. Except for us Gally was the only one who died, when Minho flung a spear through his chest."
He looked at me.
"Yeah, that is what happened."
"I miss him. Everyday."
"I can only imagine."
He pulled me into his chest for a hug. We stayed like that, not wanting to let go. We may be teared apart again. And neither of us were ready for that.
