Your POV
I woke up the next afternoon. My leg wrapped in gauze, along with my hands.
I unwrapped my body parts and quickly healed myself.

I stood up and left the room. I spotted Newt, Minho and Chuck by the slammer.
'Isnt Thomas there?' I thought walking over.

"Because the people we were before the maze, they don't even exist anymore." I heard Newt say.
I felt a light stab at that. Before the maze we were a thing. But I'm guessing he meant Thomas joining the shucking creators.

"These creators took care of that. But what does matter is who we are now, and what we do right now. You went into he maze and you found the way out." Newt said

I sat down beside Chuck, smiling at him.

"Well if I hadn't Alby might've still been alive" Thomas said below us
"Maybe." Newt whispered
"But I know if he was here he would be telling you the exact same thing. Pick your ass up and finish what you started." Newt then said slowly.

"This is dramatic" I whispered to Chuck, he chuckled slightly

"Because if we do nothing, that meant Alby died for nothing and I can't have that" newt said
I looked down sad. He spoke his last words to me.

To keep them safe, something I'd keep.

"Okay. Okay but we need to get through Gally first" Thomas said
I smirked
"Leave my brother to me cuz" I teased

And we made a plan. For a while I just sat talking to Thomas. He remembers growing up with me and Gally. He remembers us.

"This is such a waste." Gally muttered
We all stood around
"This doesn't feel right man" Winston expressed
"Maybe Thomas is right. Maybe he can lead us home" Jeff said

We had lost Clint last night

"We are home, okay? I dont wanna cross any more names off that wall." Gally said, walking to the two boys. He opened his mouth to say something but Teresa interrupted

I just shook my head at my brother, why was he doing this?

"You really think banishing us is going to solve anything?" She asked
"No. But this isn't a banishing, it's an offering" my brother said

My eyes widened and I went to jump forward but Newt held my hand firmly.

"Wait. Gally! What are you doing" Teresa shouted as one builder tied her to a pole.
"You really think I'm going to let Thomas back into the maze after what he's done? Look around you, look at our glade. This is the only way" Gally shouted angrily

Newt looked to Minho, he nodded back.
Newt let his grip on me go.

"And when the grievers get what they came here for, everything goes back to the way it was" Gally said
"Are you listening to this? Why are you all just standing there? He's crazy!" Teresa said trying to convince the boys otherwise
"Would you shut up?" Gally asked her
"If you stay here the grievers are only going to come back. And they're going to keep coming back until you're all dead!" She said loudly so everyone could hear

"SHUT UP! Tie him up" Gally shouted pointing at the Thomas on the ground.
"DO YOU HEAR ME I SAID TIE HIM UP!" Gally shouted at two boys.
The boys lifted Thomas, but the boy just hit his two captors, grabbing their spear.
He stood at the wall.

Some boys ran forward, but Newt held them at the edge of his machete, Minho doing the same to Gally. Dry cut Teresa free, and Chuck ran to us. I hit one of the builders standing too close to Chuck. And I joined my cousin.
