Silence. All that could be heard where faint murmurs and the crackling of fire. Silence as the Gladers looked over their destroyed home. Covered in fire and knocked to the ground. "Where is everybody?" a boy asked.

"What's over there?" Another asked pointing in a smoke filled direction. Seeing outlines of people storming towards them.

As they all looked over they could see and anger filled Gally stomping his way towards Thomas. Making it to the group Gally didn't slow down he, "Gally," Thomas said trying to reason with him.

Once he said that he was met with Gallys hardened fist across his face. As Thomas fell on the floor out of impact, Athena, Frypan and other Gladers went up to Gally to stop his rampage. "This is on you, Thomas." Gally exclaimed while being dragged away. "Huh, Look around."

"Back up guys. It's not Thomas' fault" Minho shouted.

"You heard what Alby said. He's one of them!" Fighting back against a builder, Frypan and Athena.

"One of who?" The builder asked.

"He's one of them, and they sent him to destroy everything!" he said now pointing towards Thomas. "And now he has!" Athena having enough of this, kneed Gally in the stomach which made him bend forward and grab his stomach and Frypan and the Builder retracted their hold. She grabbed him from the back of his neck and swiftly walked him away from the group so he could calm down. "Look around Thomas. Look around." he shouted as he walked away. "This is your fault."

"Hey!" Athena shouted, pushing Gally further away "That's enough."

As Gladers discussed most agreeing it isn't his fault the voices soon turned to blurs and Thomas glanced down at the stinger in Chuck's hand. The group's focus soon shifted onto Gally and Athena's arguing from afar a lot of them ready to pounce if Athena swung for Gally. But none of them would blame her if she did. Grabbing the stinger from the young boy Teresa and Chuck looked at him confused. As the argument got louder Thomas quietly spoke to the two watching him, "Maybe he's right."

"Thomas?" Teresa said.

Glancing over at the argument he saw Gally quietly say something none of them could hear to the girl. Seeing her face instantly turn pale she clenched her fists and as hard as she could sent a right hook into the boy's jaw causing him to grab his jaw and stumble back. "I need to remember, Teresa." Thomas said as Winston, Frypan, Minho and Newt ran over to the situation.

"Thomas." she repeated.

Giving no answer he slammed the stinger into his stomach penetrating the skin, "Thomas! Thomas, no!" she shouted. As he screamed in agony the six turned round to face the screaming and running over. Collapsing before the group could make it Thomas' body shook violently on the floor. "Chuck, get the other syringe." Teresa commanded.

Darkness overtook Thomas' sight and all the talking around him was no longer there.

Blurs flew by as what appeared to be a lab in front of Thomas. A woman dressed in white with her hair in a tight bun was walking across a platform. The view shifted and it showed a boy on some form of a computer watching live surveillance of what appeared to be the Glade. "Who put us here?" Thomas' voice ringing through his head.

"That we don't know" Alby calming voice echoed. Every time Thomas shifted his gaze he saw a screen holding pictures of people he recognized.

His gaze shifted to a girl. Teresa. As she started back his voice echoed once again. "Teresa, why are we doing this?" A screen appeared in front of him showing the faces and bodys of Newt, Jeff, Minho, Chuck, Alby and Frypan. He looked to the side to see a screen with a brain on and the woman beside him moved something and the name Newt was above the outline of the brain.
