[1] Just The Beginning - The Maze Runner

[1] Party

|~<:o:>~|

Newt's POV

It was other normal day in the Glade. We were all working, the runners were exploring the maze. That's when I heard it, The Box.

"Let's go boys!" Gally yelled as everyone headed towards it.

The doors open revealing the boy laying inside, the sun beaming in his face. The boys open the door letting Gally jump down inside.

"Day one Greenie, rise and shine." Gally says to him.

Gally then grabs him pulling him out, the boys circling around him. Suddenly he stands and runs.

"We got a runner!!" Zart yells.

We all chant. He was actually pretty fast, til he fell on his ass. Man it was amazing. He stood up taking in all his surroundings. This one, he seemed different. It feels like everything is gonna change, but now I look back on it I wish it never did

Gwen's POV

It's almost party time. My second favorite part of this place, the first that would be this boy. His name well that's for another time can't get soft on you now. Oh Now I just wait until it's my time to rock this Glade.

Newt's POV

It almost time for the show and right now I'll talking with the new greenie.

"We're trapped here aren't we?" Greenie asked me.

"For the moment... but see those guys over there by the fire?" I ask turning and pointing towards the little group. "Those are the runners. That guy in the middle is Minho, he's the keeper of the runner. Every morning those doors open they run the maze. Mapping it, memorizing it. Trying to find a way out."

"How long have they been looking?" Greenie asked.

"3 years." I sigh.

"So they haven't found anything?" He said a little aggravated.

"It's not easier said than done listen, you hear that? That's the maze changing it changes every night. "

"How is that even possible?" He asked confused.

"You can ask the people who put us in here if we ever meet the bastards." I smile to myself.

The Greenies face showed his curiosity, his determination to leave this place. That was going to get him killed, so I best set him straight now before he does something stupid.

"Listen, the truth is the runners are the only ones who really know what's out there. There the strongest, the fastest of all and it's a good thing too because if they don't make it back before those doors close then they are stuck out there for a night and no one has ever survived a night in the maze." I say not holding back anything.

"What happens to them?" He asked, man he doesn't quit he's gonna get himself killed asking questions.

"Well we call them grievers. Of course no ones ever seen one and lived to tell someone about it but there out there." I spoke thinking about some of the people we've lost because of them, the pain.

We sat there in silence for a bit until I heard the horn.

"Oh man Greenie, get up. The party is just now getting started." I laugh standing helping him to his feet.
