another one

I leaned on one of the beams next to Gally in front of all the gladers. They all eventually quietened down and Gally began.

"Things are changing. There's no denying that. First Ben gets stung in broad daylight and then Alby. And now our greenie here has taken it upon himself to go into the maze. Which is a clear violation of our rules here."

"Yeah, but he saved Alby's life." Frypan spoke up from behind Newt.

"Did he?" Gally raised his eyebrows. There was silence so he carried on. "For three years, we have co-existed with these things and now you've killed one of them." He pointed to Thomas behind him.

"Gally, so did I. We both did the same amount of killing." I said but he ignored me.

"Well, what do you suggest we do?" Newt asked.

"He has to be punished."

There was bickering and shouts from within the crowd and I rolled my eyes, annoyed.

"Minho, y/n. You were there with him. What do you think?" Newt asked us and the gladers fell quiet again.

"I think he was brave. He did what he had to do to survive." I shrugged and looked behind me at Minho, waiting for his answer.

He sighed, "I think in all the time we've been here no ones ever killed a griever before and now there's been two killed in less that twenty four hours. When I turned tail and ran, these dumb shanks stood behind to help Alby." Minho gestured mainly at Thomas but glanced at me. "Look, I don't know if he's brave or stupid. But whatever it is, we need more of it. I say we make him a runner."

I smirked and held my hand up and Minho highfived me. A smile grew on Newts face as he straightened up. Some of the gladers cheered others didn't.

"If you wanna throw the newbie a parade, that's fine." Gally shouted. "Go ahead. But if there's one thing that I know about the maze, it is that you do not-"

He was cut off when the familiar sound of the box was heard. He immediately looked at me, confused and I just shrugged. Newt and I stood up off our beams before running outside with everyone following. I jogged in front of them all and reached the square hole in the ground first. Gally and Newt stopped either side of me before opening the doors to the box.

Newt jumped in and everyone fired questions but he shushed them when he looked up.

"It's a girl." He said, practically whispering.

"Oh! Thank shuck!" I celebrated and everyone looked at me. "Sorry, please continue."

Thomas shoved his way through to stand in Newt's spot beside me.

"I think she's dead." Newt announced.

"What's in her hand?" I asked.

Newt gently took the item out of her hand and opened it up. It was a bit of paper. I couldn't make out the writing from where I was.

"She's the last one, ever." He read. "What the hell does that mean?"

The girl gasped and lifted her head up. She had black hair and was wearing white with a blue under shirt. There was something familiar about her but I couldn't pin it.

"Thomas.." she panted before slowly falling unconscious again.

We all looked at the boy next to me. Thomas seemed just as confused as us all.

"You still think I'm overreacting?" Gally asked.

Clint and Jeff took her into the med-jack in the room next to Alby's. I followed Newt, Minho and Thomas in. The greenie paused when he saw Alby tied to the bed. I refused to look and just pushed him ahead.
