To Run with the Grievers (Rewriting)

Chapter 7- The Gatering

Gally's POV (A/N: bet you didn't see that coming XD)

I sit in the hut I built with an annoyed scowl on my face. Alby is currently going berserk on the mystery girl that probably doesn't even exist. I knew Thomas would start doing something bad the minute he showed up.

Now he's brain washing everyone.

My scowl deepens as Newt speaks up, telling everyone how beautiful her golden hair is and how her smile lights up a room. He tells us her eyes are hypnotising. Pssh, yeah right.

I roll my eyes as Minho is the next to speak. He explains how elegant she is and how simply amazing she is.

The last of the four to speak is Thomas. I glare daggers at the Greenie.

"We could learn from her," he starts. He now has my full attention and I see Alby shushing the keepers who decide to whisper among themselves.

"She is able to live in the Maze overnight and avoid the Grievers without being killed". He states as the room finally becomes silent.

As he looks at me I stare into his brown orbs, studying them.

He's hiding something.

Thomas' POV

I quickly look away from Gally as he stares into my eyes, searching for hidden information but as his eyebrows furrow I can tell it's already too late.

He knows I'm hiding something.

That something being that I told the Keepers that she stays away from the Grievers by hiding but in fact they completely avoid her.

Alby asks the Keepers on their opinion on the matter but they all shake their heads in confusion, not one knowing what to think of the matter. Then Alby turns to Gally.

Gally's POV

As Alby finally turns to me I stand up and turn to a majority of the Keepers.

"We don't even know if she exists! He-" I point an accusing finger towards Thomas "- for all we know could be brain washing these shucks" I wave a hand towards Minho, Alby and Newt who glare at me but listen to my accusation.

"We all know that he is the first shank to survive a night in the Maze along with Minho but what if he hid in the creators headquarters for the whole night!"

Minho shakes his head annoyed, "I saw him survive against multiple Grievers I front of my very eyes. He ain't lying".

I roll my eyes and throw my hands into the air, "how do you know he ain't brain washing you to think that?"

Newt now stands up looking completely and utterly pissed.

"Listen here Gally and listen good. No one is brain washing anyone! Thomas wouldn't do it anyway, he is a good person! Now get your bloody head out of your ass because this 'mystery girl' we are talking about is real as anything else in this room!"

And with that Newt drags Thomas and Mihno out the door.

I roll my eyes once more before nodding farewell to the Keepers then stomping of to my job as builder.

Thomas' POV

"He is so infuriating!" Exclaims Minho as he paces back and forth in front of Chuck, Newt and I.

"He has to see her to believe us" I state rolling my eyes at the boy who want stop pacing.

"Well I don't want him to meet or even see Adelaide. I don't like Gally and he might do something to her, or worse. We can't risk her getting hurt". Newt says playing with his fingers as he leans up against the tree we like so much.

"Newts right". I nod and Minho finally stops pacing and looks at us.

"Yeah I know Newts right and Gally is an idiot, and that why we have to keep her away from Gally" Minho sighs.

Suddenly Chuck tenses beside me and I get the feeling something is wrong.

"Chuck what's up?" I say carefully.

Chuck gulps, "you know how you want Adelaide to stay clear from Gally?" We all nod and he looks towards the builders. "We might be already too late for that" he gestures towards them and we all look to see Adelaide and Gally at the edge of the Deadheads talking.

Oh shit.

(A/N: sorry for the shortest chapter EVER! I will try to make the next one longer. Thanks for reading!)
