38~ It's a Girl

--time skip--

We were having a gathering to decide Thomas' fate. In some people's eyes, Thomas had broken our biggest rule and needed to be punished immediately. In other people's eyes, he was like some sort of God and the reason that Alby and Minho got back alive- well, if you could call Alby's condition that. Newt called a gathering to establish order and decide what we were supposed to do with the maniac. He was going round each keeper, seeing what their idea was, and I was next (as the joint-second-in-command).

"y/n, what's on your mind?" he asked me, indicating it was my turn. I looked around and the other keepers were staring at me waiting for my verdict so I cleared my throat and began.

"I'll just get straight to the point, Thomas you are a maniac," I said, looking directly at him. He looked annoyed at me- he must have thought I was gonna be the one he could count on for a vote in his favour... he was right. "But... you are bloody brilliant. I would like everyone to hear me out now so Gally although you don't exactly like him, atleast listen and don't interrupt me," Gally nodded to me to continue. "yes, he broke a rule, but he's a greenie and everyone makes mistakes. Yes, he was stupid to run out there, but without him, Alby wouldn't be back. I have no doubt that Minho could have survived in there alone, but in his current condition Alby wouldn't have. It is because of Thomas that he is here- even if he's not exactly awake or well right now, he is still here. I say that he doesn't deserve a punishment because he got our brother back, our leader, our friend. However I don't think it's any of our places to decide. Minho should be the one to decide the newbie's fate, not us. Go ahead Minho."

There were then a few snarky comments made but I was just concentrated on Thomas. He smiled at me and mouthed a 'thank you' (obviously because I was on his side) and I then turned to see what Minho's verdict was. "I think in all the time we've been here, no one's ever killed a Griever before. When I turned tail and ran, this dumb shank stayed behind to help Alby. 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." There was an uproar after that. Chuck was obviously in favour though, as he cheered, "Thomas! Thomas! Thomas! Thomas..." he stopped chanting the boy's name when he realised no one was joining in with him.

"Look if you wanna throw the newbie a parade, that's fine! But if I know one thing about the maze it's that you do not f-" Gally's irritating speech was interrupted by a familiar blaring noise. It was the sound of the box. 

That's strange. It hasn't even been a week yet let alone a month! What the shuck is going on?

We all ran out of the homestead and saw that the box really was coming back up. The box then arrived with a jolt and newt jumped in cautiously.

"It's a girl... I think she's dead." he announced. Horror swept the Glade all too quickly.

First the box comes up out of nowhere- breaking the pattern and order of things. Then it just happens that a girl- a presumably DEAD girl- is inside it. How fun. What's next? Are we gonna be having tea parties with the bloody grievers? I'm gonna repeat myself- WHAT THE SHUCK IS GOING ON? I think I was forgetting that I was just talking to myself in my head so I wouldn't get an answer but still, I need to know what's up.

"What's in her hand?" asked Gally, making me look towards the girl's body. She was thin, but not too small, and had icy, pale skin- it was a nice pale though, like pearls. Her tar-black hair acted as a cushion for her head, it looked as if someone had arranged it to fall perfectly in place. Her lips looked like the life had been sucked out of them, but I'm sure if she was alive that they would be a soft pink shade to compliment her skin. She was very pretty, but what was she doing here? And what was in her hand?

Newt took a folded piece of paper out of the girls limp hand and started to open it. He began to read. "'She's the last one ever'... what the hell does that mean?" He looked to us for answers but knew we were just as clueless. In an instant, the girl woke up gasping, reaching for breath.

Hm so she's not dead. Here's some points for giving us a heart attack!

The boys all jumped backwards as if lava would start spouting from her or something crazy. She uttered one word before she went back into her unconscious state. A name. Thomas.

We all looked straight to the boy who's name that was, and Gally took it as his opportunity to further his anti-thomas case. "You still think I'm overreacting?"

I tutted and rolled my eyes at him. It's really pathetic the way Gally treats Thomas. Sure, I have to admit that since he got here things went pear shaped but I don't believe it's his fault. It must be the klunkhead creators- they don't seem to like us very much.
