As Thomas rapidly awoke from his slumber, he looked around to find Gladers in peaceful sleep, until he looked over to the entrance to see Newt, Athena, Minho and Alby stood saying their goodbye to one another, but too far away to listen. The doors creaked open the sound of concrete on concrete, and Alby and Minho ran off into the maze leavin Athena and Newt behind. Stood at the entrance still, Newt wrapped his arm around Athena's waist and pulled her in for a hug, and kissed the top of head whispering reassuring things to her. After a few minutes stood like that they started walking towards the kitchen since Gladers will be waking up soon, Athena had her arm wrapped around Newts as they walked together smiling having a conversation about anything. Athena had black cotton shorts on and a navy hoodie she stole from Minho and a white t-shirt underneath, and her sword and axe on her belt as always and her hair in a normal height ponytail with a few strands falling down.
The day went by and eventually Gladers went to work, Athena accompanied Newt, Thomas,Chuck and Zart since it was her day off today and once again Thomas was back at asking 101 questions. "Ye, but why would Alby go into the maze?" he questioned the runner and two tarck-hoes "I mean, he's not-- he's not a runner." As he looked at the two cutting down a tree stump and the two sat on the log next to him.
"Things are different now," Newt said looking at the Greenie. "Alby went to retrace Ben's steps before sundown," now returning to his job. "But are you gonna help?"he questioned looking at Athena and Thomas. "We can use some of your weird axe wielding skills" he said towards the girl with amusement laced in his voice.
"Sorry no can do, it's my resting day today." She said with a matter of fact smile.
"So was yesterday"
""Yes but I was the one to stop Ben therefore I did not rest." She sassily replied back.
"Ok, so he's going to go back to where Ben was stung?" Thomas interrupted, causing Athena to roll her eyes and Chuck snicker at the girl.
"Alby knows what he's doing, all right? He knows better than any of us," Newt explained.
"What does that mean?"
"All right, it's like what you've heard yeh. Every month the box sends up a new arrival. Someone had to be first, right?" explaining further so the greenie could understand. "Someone had to spend a whole month alone, in the Glade."
"And that was Alby," Athena said pointing out the obvious for the clueless Greenie. To which Newt directed his machete at her and nodded in agreement.
"I mean, it can't have been easy. But when those boys started coming up one after another plus the lovely lady sitting next to you, he saw the truth." Newt explained hacking his machete at the dead tree, "And he learnt the most important thing is that we all have each other, because we are all in this together." With that silence came the group as Athena spun a small knife that she kept from the day she arrived as the knew Greenie between her fingers,Thomas got up to help Newt and Zart with the stump. As the three carried on their job Athena noticed the pick up of cool wind going through the humid air and grey clouds coming closer.

Hiding away in the huts from the downpour, Athena paced, getting more and more nervous for her friends still in the maze. "They should be back by now." Thomas announced also realising something could have gone wrong. "What happens if they don't make it?" He asked, looking between Newt and a still pacing Athena.
"They're gonna make it." Newt said to calm for comfort.
"And what happens if they don't?" Walking towards Newt.
